Theo wore a perfectly straight army green jacket that made him look similar to his old photos. With a solemn expression that exuded indifference, he held a simple army luggage that was also in green. Quinton, who was behind him, wore a similar outfit.

Both the father and son looked equally solemn.

No one knew how both of them met nor the reason for their sudden return. Nevertheless, it was a pleasant surprise for Michael, who came out to help Theo carry his luggage. “Father, weren’t you going to stay in Africa? Why are you back?”

Theo replied, “I changed my mind. I’m not going to Africa anymore.”

Then, Michael brought Theo’s luggage to the room he once stayed in before, while Quinton also self-consciously brought his luggage to Cash’s room.

It was only at this moment that Sophia returned to her senses from being shocked by Theo’s appearance and spoke to Cooper. “Dad, you’re back too!”

Cooper replied, “Hmph!”

Angered, he walked upstairs without even turning back. Then, he stayed there until dinner.

As Theo and Quinton had suddenly returned, the villa was bustling. Apart from that, Nathan had also returned from school.

Michael still thought that it was too peculiar for both of them to suddenly return, so he figured something must have happened.

Theo had once said that he wouldn’t look for Quinton nor let the latter know that he was still alive.

Why did both of them return together?

Michael had a hunch that something had happened.

After dinner, the entire family gathered together to watch the TV. Now that the entire family was around, the atmosphere was quite lively.

Cooper was still angry that Sophia didn’t greet him first when he returned, so he merely looked at Theo coldly. When Sophia served fruits from the kitchen just now, she put them before Theo first. Even though Theo was sitting closer to the kitchen, Cooper still felt that he had taken his daughter away.

Hence, he hugged Carmen tightly, determined not to let others take her away.
