Truth or Dare
Seeing someone come out to ease the situation, Cynthia happened to descend the steps. However, the term "sister-in-law" made Cynthia somewhat uncomfortable. She politely and somewhat awkwardly responded, "Thank you, no need to trouble yourself."
Those present had long heard of Tristan's name. Now that they witnessed the true face of the man rumored about, they couldn't help but take a cold breath. This man was a born ruler. Even if he stood quietly, an overwhelming sense of oppression overflowed from the depths of his soul, forcing people to face him with a look of reverence.
Tristan led Cynthia to the sofa.
Even though they had just arrived and the main seat remained empty, it seemed as if it had been prepared for Tristan's arrival.
As Cynthia was about to sit down, she heard Jacob cough heavily and gestured with his eyes to sit next to him.
Cynthia, "..."
Tristan seemed to sense her hesitation, stretched out his arm around her waist, and sat down directly.
