A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo)

As soon as the words were spoken, Sierra opened the door and stepped out, wearing matching outfits with Theo.

Benson's eyes widened as he took in the identical patterns on their hoodies. His expression darkened instantly.

They were wearing matching couples' outfits. He had never even worn something like that with Sierra before.

"What's wrong?" she asked, noticing the two staring at her. She quickly touched her hair and face.

Theo took her hand and smiled. "Nothing. He just thinks this style is embarrassing and was lecturing me about it."

Benson wanted nothing more than to shut him up. However, when he met those deep, unreadable eyes, he slowly lowered his raised hand. He stammered out a weak excuse. "Cee, I didn't mean the hoodies look bad. I just think it's... inappropriate for Uncle Theo to wear something like this at his age. If it were me

Before he could finish, Theo shot him a cold glance and led Sierra downstairs by the hand.

The sight of their matching outfits left everyone in stunned silence. It was one thing for Sierra to wear those kinds of clothes, but for Theo to willingly put on such silly matching couple's wear was beyond their wildest expectations!

"Looks great!" Edward boomed, his face flushed with delight as he beamed at them. "You two look like a perfect pair in these! Sierra picked these out, didn't she?"

Sierra nodded, glancing down at her toes, both pleased and a little shy.

Benson, who had come down with them, noticed her shy demeanor. His heart sank as he looked away, forcing a bitter smile.

"Uncle Theo and Aunt Sierra are so loving. I can't help but feel a little jealous," Sophie commented softly, resting a hand on her slightly rounded belly. With a gentle smile, she cast a sidelong glance at Benson.

"If you're jealous, then be nicer to Benson," Janet snapped. Still fuming from her run-in with Sierra this morning, she didn't dare retaliate with Edward and Theo around. Instead, she turned her frustration on her seemingly meek daughter-in- law. "All you do is cry all day. Anyone who doesn't know better would think we're mistreating you."

Sophie's face burned red. Seeing that Benson had no intention of standing up for her, a wave of disappointment washed over her. Her eyes brimmed with unshed tears.

Since becoming pregnant, her emotions had been all over the place. During her last check-up, the doctor said it was due to hormonal imbalances from the pregnancy.

She had endured so much to carry Benson's child, yet he did nothing while she was mistreated. Instead, he stood there, focused on his ex. The more she thought about it, the more it hurt, and she could no longer hold back her tears.noveldrama

"Enough, it's the New Year. Stop arguing!" Edward frowned, shooting Janet a disapproving glare before turning to Benson. "Take better care of your wife. You're not a kid anymore; you should know better."

After being reprimanded, both Benson and Janet fell silent.

"Dad, I should've handled this better. Please don't be upset," Liam admitted with a guilty expression. He stepped forward to pat Edward's back to help him calm down.

Sierra and Theo, who had been watching the drama unfold, quickly changed the subject when they noticed Edward's dark expression. "Edward, I bought you a new outfit too. Let me grab it for you to try on," Sierra offered.

Edward was pleasantly surprised, as expected. He held her hands and turned to Theo, saying, "You go get it. Sierra's been on her feet all day."

Theo, unfazed by the favoritism, obediently headed upstairs. When he returned, he was carrying several bags. "Sierra picked out all these gifts for you."

Sifting through the items, Sierra pulled out the outfit and handed it to Edward. "Here, Edward-try it on and see if it fits."

With Liam and Theo's help, Edward changed into his new outfit. He even spun around to show it off, satisfied. "Perfect fit-just the right size."

"Sierra's got good taste," Liam chimed in, joining in the praise.
