Finally, Quinn could no longer smile. The atmosphere quickly turned awkward.
However, I did not find it awkward and laughed out loud as I asked, "Why aren't you guys eating?"
I paused for a while before saying, "I'm full, and it's late. I should be heading to the office now. You guys can continue eating."
When I finished speaking, I stood to leave.
Theo frowned and grabbed my arm. "What do you mean you're full?"
He thought for a while before he continued, "All you had was two mouthfuls of oatmeal. Even a kitten would have had more than you did."
I’ll be damned...
Why was it so difficult for me to act cool?
A corner of Quinn's lips suddenly twitched upward in a stiff motion as she said, "Wanda, you should eat more to nurture your poor health."
I glanced at her before I picked up my spoon and continued eating my oatmeal.
Two minutes later, Quinn finished her oatmeal and said, "Theo, I'd like to visit your company with Cindy.
Take us along with you when you're done." "I won't be heading to the office yet because I'm taking Wanda to the doctor's." Theo frowned. "Besides, why d o you guys want to go to my office?”
Quinn smiled. "Nothing much. We just want to take a look. Everyone's family here. Are you afraid that we’ll steal trade secrets?"
"How can she be considered as family?" I asked without hesitation as I pointed at Cindy.
Quinn was beginning to lose her patience. "Then aren’t I family? Can't I have her accompany me?"
I scoffed. "You make the decisions here, Quinn. We'll d o whatever you want."
