Sean furrowed his brows and ignored Kate's question entirely, instead opening his mouth as the croissant neared.
He had not had a single bite to eat since morning, and truth be told, he was ravenous.
"You didn't answer my question." Seeing that Sean did not reply, Kate pursed her lips, drew her arm back, and tossed the croissant nimbly into her own mouth.
There was a crunch as she chomped on the crispy pastry. "Do you think you’d be able to get away with eating my food without answering my questions? Well, in your dreams!"
Sean furrowed his brows when he saw the triumphant look on Kate’s face.
He was starving, but since he could not move his hands, there was nothing he could do apart from watching silently as this woman ate his food.
"You don't get a single bite unless you answer me!" Kate rolled her eyes at him, then held the box of pastries close to her and resumed watching her show. As she continued munching on her food, she could not help lamenting, "The truth is, there's nothing to be gained by being stubborn; that's the rule of every soap opera ever."
Then, she glanced at Sean out of the corner of her eye and added, "Unfortunately, this rule applies in real life, too."
Sean furrowed his brows but did not say anything in return.
So what if she refused to feed him? Was he going to give up his dignity for food?
Even though Kate's question was not a difficult one to answer, he still did not feel like doing so.
He was worried that after answering this one, there would be plenty of bizarre questions waiting for him.
Kate could not help pursing her lips when she noticed Sean swallowing his saliva but still refusing to speak.
A split second later, she let out a sigh of pity and said, "Seeing that you're a patient, I'm willing to give you another chance."
With that, she removed the croissant from his reach
