Both Augustine and Derrick instantly turned their gazes toward Charles.
He stood at the foot of the staircase, dressed in a loose-fitting green T-shirt layered over a black shirt.
His posture was relaxed, but the nervous smile on his lips betrayed his unease.
His eyes flickered between the two men, waiting for an answer.
Augustine and Derrick hadn't noticed Charles descending the stairs, so his sudden question caught them off guard.
Augustine's lips parted slightly, but no words came out.
Derrick, on the other hand, smirked, folding his arms across his chest.
"Why do you two look so stunned by my question?" Charles pressed, closing the distance between them, his sharp gaze flickering between their faces.
Despite Charles's question, neither Augustine nor Derrick responded.
They simply stared at him, their baffled expressions unwavering.
With a sigh, Charles stopped in front of the couch where Augustine sat, his arms crossed.
