The atmosphere inside the car had turned unusually quiet.
Neither Ivy nor Xander spoke a single word during the entire drive back from the Old Emerson Residence.
And honestly, that alone was enough to make Benny and Teddy deeply concerned.
Usually, Ivy was the one constantly talking, teasing someone, or creating chaos every five minutes.
But now, she simply sat silently by the window, lost in her thoughts.
Even Teddy kept glancing nervously through the rearview mirror every few minutes.
Meanwhile, Xander remained quiet beside her, though his eyes occasionally drifted toward Ivy before looking away again.
The strange silence continued until the car finally reached the Emerson Mansion.
The moment the vehicle stopped, Ivy quietly opened the door and stepped out without even sparing Xander a glance before heading straight inside.
Everyone: "…"
Even Xander frowned slightly, watching her disappear so quickly.
