Theo frowned slightly as an unpleasant expression formed on his face. He said, " Hurry up and eat. Go back and rest well after eating. Zedd is almost done with work. He'll be able to come over at night if nothing else happens."
Cindy pretended not to hear what he said.
He took a piece of meat and placed it in my bowl. "Eat more. You didn't eat much in the morning. Are you full after eating so little?"
"You guys should eat."
This was way too unappetizing. How could I eat here?
As soon as Theo noticed that I was about to leave, he held my hand and said, "If the dishes aren't to your liking, I'll bring you out to eat something else.”
I raised my brow and asked, "Will you only be bringing me along?”
Theo nodded and said, "Yes."
Cindy could not bear it anymore. She got up and said, "Theowy, I'm done eating. I'll go back to the accommodation to rest.”
Theo looked at her with a calm expression on his face. "Go on. Stay safe on the way back."
Cindy thought that he would ask her to stay, but he did not.
She dropped the pretense as well. She left with an unpleasant expression on her face.
"Has your appetite returned?" Theo had a wide grin on his face. "It isn't a good habit to leave food uneaten during meals. Hurry up and continue eating."
He placed food in my bowl while speaking. Earlier, I did not feel like eating purely because Cindy was there. Now that she was gone, I naturally felt like eating again.
I picked up my chopsticks and continued eating. I recalled Cindy's irritated expression just now. My mood improved instantly.
Theo was not really hungry, so he kept stuffing food into my bowl. He did not eat much.
I felt rather speechless when I noticed the cheery smile on his face. "Are you that happy to see me eating?"
"Yes."
I did not bother with him anymore. I focused on eating.
