It didn't take long before the group finally stopped in front of Theo's apartment door.
Theo let out a quiet breath before knocking twice.
A few seconds later—
Click!
The door swung open.
The moment his mother saw him standing there, her eyes widened instantly.
"Theo!"
Without hesitation, she immediately pulled him into a tight hug.
Meanwhile, his father quickly stepped over as well, relief flashing through his eyes.
''It's good to see you like this,'' his mother muttered. ''Do you have any idea how worried you made us?''
She pulled back slightly, a flicker of anger flashing through her eyes.
''Especially when you brought us here without as much as a warning!'' she continued. ''Do you know how confusing it is to find yourself in a random place with all kinds of officials surrounding you?''
Theo scratched his cheek awkwardly.
''Sorry.''
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
Finally, his father just shook his head before sighing.
