"I'm tired, I need to sleep a little longer!" He laid down beside her, wrapped an arm smoothly around her waist, closed his eyes, and said, "You too, sleep a little longer."
"I don't want to sleep. I …" Before she could finish her sentence, there was a "gurgling" sound in her stomach.
The house was too quiet, and the sounds were clearly audible.
Joyce was so embarrassed that she tucked her head under the covers, but she was actually starving.
She did not eat properly in the previous two days at the police station and the detention center, because Grandma just passed away, and she felt so sad.
Luther helplessly sat up from the blanket. He wanted to sleep again, but now it seemed not possible.
He walked out of the room and not long after, brought up breakfast from downstairs and placed it in front of Joyce.
Joyce stretched her hand out from the covers with difficulty and tried to reach for it.
At that moment, she saw Luther using a spoon to serve a spoonful of porridge. He put it next to his mouth, blew it a few times, and brought it to her lips.
Joyce froze and said, "Nothing’s wrong with my hand, I can do it myself."
Just after the words were said, the spoon had been shoved into her mouth in its entirety.
Stuffed to the brim.
"Hmm." She was forced to eat it all.
"Open your mouth." Luther fed her another mouthful.
"…" Joyce felt that Luther was actually very domineering.
The vegetable porridge was lightly salted and very smooth in the mouth. She did crave something light at this time.
"Where did you get the porridge, Aaron went to buy it?" Joyce asked as she ate, "It tastes pretty good. Aren't you eating?"
Luther glanced at her and fed her another spoonful.
In fact, the vegetable porridge was made by him when she was alone in the bathroom and he went downstairs to make it himself. He didn't know how to cook, but once upon a time, he learned how to make porridge to take care of his grandmother.
After feeding her a mouthful, then, he took a spoonful for himself.
