The four of them stood in silence at the doorstep, exchanging uncertain glances. Ritchie and Jeremy both felt that the situation had become uncomfortably awkward.
So, Ritchie decided to speak up.
"You must have some news for us, right? If it's not convenient to talk here, we can go inside and discuss it," Ritchie said, then turned his gaze toward Jeremy.
Jeremy nodded slightly, pushing open the door to his house.
The others followed him inside.
It seemed that Liam and Bonnie had finally gathered their thoughts on how to begin.
Liam was the first to speak, directly addressing Jeremy. "I do have some very bad news. The thing is, it's only bad news for you."
Jeremy didn't say a word. He didn't make any move either. He simply waited for Liam to continue.
Liam hesitated for a moment before finally revealing the bad news he had brought.
