"You can choose not to eat," the man said coldly.
Cordy pursed her lips.
Was he so scared that she would run?
How could she possibly do that in such a dark and unfamiliar place?
Who would be so careful?!
This person also seemed to understand her very well.
"Do you want to eat or not?!" the man asked, clearly annoyed.
"Yes, she'll eat." Patrick immediately answered on her behalf, worried that she might go hungry.
Cordy did not reject the man further. "Thank you."
The man was stunned for a moment, as he did not expect Cordy to be so courteous to him.
Of course, such professional business people would never expose their true feelings so easily.
He picked up a spoon and fed Cordy, spoon by spoon.
The temperature of the food was just right. Meanwhile, the consistency of the oatmeal was perfect and even the eggs were boiled to the degree she enjoyed, while the side dishes were refreshing and tasty.
Cordy chewed through her food, eating very slowly.
She did not feel like the tall man was particularly good-mannered, but he did not rush her at all.
After finishing a bowl of oatmeal, the man asked, "More?"
"No thanks."
The man stood up and walked toward Patrick, who did not resist the man and gobbled up his breakfast.
After he was done, the door was shut once again.
"Who in the world kidnapped us? Is this how hostages are treated?" Patrick was still feeling annoyed.
Cordy was comparatively calmer.
She said, "I have a bold conjecture."
"You have a guess?"
Cordy was really smart, not just ordinarily so.
