why like this

Allan's eyes immediately darted in the direction where Mikael was sitting.

The way he looked at him was as though he was asking for some help and guidance but this emotion quickly vanished just as soon as it appeared and the glow of hope in his eyes was instantly replaced with the same blank one.

In the end, he just nodded his head respectfully towards Mikael and whispered ever so softly to greet him.

"Father, I have sinned..."

His voice was so little that even Santina who was just seated across him failed to hear what he said. However, she was still able to read the words that the other party mouthed by reading his lips.

"Err????"

Mikael, on the other hand, nodded his head back in confusion when he saw the other party's gesture.

He did not have an idea what was going on as he did not hear what Santina had told the other party earlier but he just decided to play along with her impromptu skit and go with the flow.
