At Lukas's question, Aaron's shoulders visibly tensed.

It was as if he were pressing down hard on a deep wound with both hands. Lukas let out a faint chuckle and flipped through the documents he had been reviewing, resuming his work.

Even as he did, he kept glancing at Aaron with a smirk.

The sound of pages turning repeated a few times before Aaron's voice broke the heavy silence in the quiet room.

"I'm too worried to tell her."
