The entire wooden house suddenly became silent after Hana's explanation.
William frowned deeply while trying to process her words. "So you're saying…"
His gaze slowly shifted toward Thalia beside him. "My marriage somehow stabilized whatever weird fate this is?"
But instead of answering immediately, both Hana and Melinda suddenly exchanged awkward looks with each other.
That small reaction alone instantly made William's expression darken slightly.
"Why are both of you suddenly quiet?" he asked slowly.
Hana only smiled faintly afterward.
"Some things are better left unknown for now," she answered softly.
William's brows instantly furrowed deeper at the vague response.
Meanwhile, beside him, Thalia unconsciously tightened her hold around his hand slightly.
Because honestly, even she suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Then unexpectedly, Melinda slowly stepped toward Thalia.
Her eyes looked strangely emotional as she gently reached for Thalia's hand.
