I did not struggle.
When we reached the dining area, he sat down on the chair with me. I was still stunned as I sat on his lap.
"How about I feed you?" Theo inched his mouth closer to my ear and whispered.
I pursed my lips and rejected without mercy. "I'll feed myself."
Theo was slightly disappointed. "You really don't need me to feed you?"
"No!"
"Alright, then." Theo removed his arms that were around my waist in disappointment.
I got up and sat on the chair at the side. I picked up m y fork and ate quietly. Theo rested his head in his palms while he watched me eat.
I only managed to eat half a bowl of pasta before I was full. I was about to put down my fork when Theo snapped coldly. "No leftovers."
I frowned. "I really can’t eat anymore."
"Eat half of what’s left, then." His tone softened. "Be a good girl. Finish it up and I'll give you a reward.”
I did not care much about the reward he mentioned, but I was afraid that he would continue nagging me, s o I forced myself to eat a little more.
We went back to the bedroom after we were done eating. While Theo went to get me my medication, I fell asleep on the bed.
When I woke up again, it was already dark out. I cocked my head as I looked at Theo who was by my side. I did not want to wake him up, so I gently removed his arm from my waist and got out of bed.
I went to the toilet, and when I washed my hands, I saw my pale face in the mirror. I felt a little dizzy. I regulated my emotions, then I slowly walked back into the bedroom.
