Adam then turned his focus toward Ethan, his expression one of deep amusement.
"If even you, the captain, are starting to lie to us, then whatever happened must have been very bad. I never thought I would see the day when our dear captain would lie to his own team."
Ethan realized then that he could simply choose not to say anything else.
He felt that he had already entertained his teammates far too much for one day.
He found it insulting that Adam would call him a liar after Jayden was the one who had created the confusion.
Ethan let out a small snicker and cocked his face to the side, determined to remain silent.
Since Jayden was the one who had created this messy situation by lying unnecessarily, Ethan decided that Jayden should be the one to fix it.
Jayden watched as Ethan chose to retreat back into his familiar shell of silence, and he nearly rolled his eyes at the predictable behavior.
He realized that if anyone was going to save this situation, it had to be him.
