“We are not going anywhere, and I don't want to hear any ifs and buts.” 

His firm voice echoed in my ears. His cold blue eyes kept looking at me. My brows furrowed more. His jaw remained clenched, and it confused me even more. How could he change his mood so drastically? Now what problem does he have to have dinner with my family? His eyes were telling me not to question him further, but how could I not? I wanted a valid reason. Lily seemed so happy when she invited us for dinner. She was also baking my favourite chocolate cake for me, and if I didn't go, all her efforts would be in vain. I exhaled deeply, letting my head cool down a bit. It was too heavy with so many unanswered questions.
