A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 119

Despite his breathtaking looks, Theo's cold expression made it clear—he wasn't someone one could approach easily.

Felicia still preferred Cayden—he might not be as striking as the man ahead, but he was so gentle and warm that it left people at ease.

However, Janice lit up with surprise when she saw Theo, her eyes flashing with delight.

"You guys continue to the cafeteria," she told the group before rushing toward him.

"Felicia," one of the women behind her asked, confused. "Does Janice know that guy?"

"Maybe," Felicia replied dismissively, barely paying attention. She didn't care about any of this—her mind was focused on one thing. She had heard that Cayden and Sierra went to lunch together, making her wish that she could teleport to the cafeteria.

"Theo!" Janice quickly walked up to him, tilting her head to look at him. "What brings you here?"

Theo paused briefly when he saw her. Then, he replied calmly, "I came to check on Aunt Jemima—and I haven't eaten yet."

"I'm heading to lunch too! Let's go together," Janice suggested with a smile. Then, lowering her voice, she continued, "Seriously, my mom is something else. You came all this way to see her, and she didn't even take you out for a real meal? Making you eat at the school cafeteria? Don't worry, though. The food here's actually pretty good. Lunch is on me."

As Theo walked into the restaurant with Janice, his eyes instinctively scanned the crowd. In an instant, he spotted Sierra.

Even with her back turned, he recognized her immediately. That silhouette was etched into his memory, as familiar as breathing.

She sat by the restaurant window across from a bright, good-looking guy. As he chatted with her, his face lit up with a smile.

Theo's gaze locked onto her just as she turned slightly with a smile. She looked happy—too happy. His eyes narrowed, and his expression darkened slightly.

He could see it clearly—Cayden's admiration, the way he looked at Sierra with pure affection.

Theo shot down the suggestion immediately, his tone firm and unwavering, without a hint of hesitation.

Janice froze for a moment before anger flared in her eyes. "Sierra is a master manipulator, Theo. Don't let her fool you with that act."

"I don't judge people by appearances," he replied calmly, his tone steady and unwavering. "I know exactly what kind of person Sierra is. Janice, you've really misunderstood her."

His voice was as deep and composed as still water—so calm that even the wind couldn't stir a ripple. Yet, there was an undeniable weight to it, a quiet authority that was impossible to ignore.

Her brows knitted tightly, confusion flashing in her eyes.

Frustrated, she snapped, "Theo, you haven't even known Sierra that long! Why are you siding with her?"
