As Ethan was going upstairs towards his room, the door behind him swung open as Amy came out from inside.
"Well, well, if it isn't my dear stepbrother returning from his little adventure," she remarked, casually leaning against the door frame, a mischievous glint in her eyes with a can of cola in her hand. Wearing shorts paired with a comfortable T-shirt, she exuded a relaxed vibe.
Ethan knew from the limited time he spent with her that she was not inclined to engage in conversation unless she had a specific motive or desire from the other person.
"Get straight to the point," Ethan demanded bluntly, his brows furrowing with a blend of suspicion and resignation as he ascended the stairs, his footsteps echoing in the empty hallway.
Amy couldn't help but chuckle softly, her amusement evident as her lips curled into a sly smile, her gaze lingering on Ethan's retreating figure.
