"I am so sorry, Ian. I failed to uphold my promise. I failed in my duty. If possible, please forgive me." Theo begged, his voice turning hoarse at the end due to his cries and Noah and Joshua felt miserable for him.
Even if the men were furious at their mentor, they were still attached to him by heart and to hear the man they had once admired crying like a child still made them feel uneasy and dejected. It was nothing like Theo.
"Ian is not here, Theo," Noah responded when he could not tolerate his mentor crying pitifully. "He left a few seconds ago."
"I know, Noah." Theo let out a helpless laugh. "I heard him walk away. I have not lost my senses even if I am far away from you guys."
