Chapter 80: Reality or Desperation
Standing in the hallway, Aiden watched his big sister awkwardly try to correct her earlier mistake—her words about wanting to lock him up. However, she failed miserably to convince him otherwise, as Aiden had known his sister all his life. He could tell that when she mentioned it, she wasn't lying; she had seriously thought about locking him up.
However, he didn't want to talk about this with his sister and make her feel more awkward than she already was. So, he simply gave her a nod to indicate he understood. He couldn't lie to her and pretend he thought she was joking, so this was the only option left to reassure her.
Alicia, seeing him nod in response to her explanation that she had been joking earlier, felt relieved that he didn't press the issue. She then asked him her final question about the behavior she had heard about from him earlier.
