"So I can't leave until I finish everything?" She tensed up indignantly.
"Yes. Finish everything." Hanson was unfazed, even though Yvonne was furious.
"Fine." She slammed her bag on the table and sat back down. They were all watching her. "Fine. I'll finish everything," she hissed and stuffed her mouth with all the food, as if she had gone for days without eating anything. She threw her image aside and wolfed down all the food just so she could leave as soon as possible.
The kids gulped. It felt suffocating just watching her eat like that. They never expected Yvonne to go so far.
Yvonne kept wolfing down the food, ignoring everyone. The food tasted like nothing but hatred. It cooled her passionate heart down with every bite.
"Slow down, Miss Kepler. Nobody's gonna steal your food. We're all done now," the kids told her, feeling concerned.
Yvonne took that as mockery from their part though. She had never felt so humiliated before. She wiped her lips a moment later. "Done. Can I leave now?" Her stomach was hurting from her eating too quickly. It fueled her anger even more.
Jack pointed at the garnish on the plates and said seriously, "You have to finish everything, Miss Kepler. There's still some veggies left."
"That's not for eating." Yvonne was in a world of humiliation. I can't believe I have to do as the kids want me to.
The kids didn't care. "Daddy said veggies are good for the body. You have to finish them, Miss Kepler," Jacob said innocently.
"Well, you've come this far. Might as well finish it." Hanson nodded.
H-How can he be so heartless? She felt her heart getting torn apart and wolfed down all the garnish like a possessed woman. She gulped them down with difficulty, and she teared up. "Happy now?" She picked her bag up and darted to the restroom to throw up.
She already had no appetite to begin with, but she was forced to finish everything, including the nauseating garnish. It finally tipped her over, and she hurled. She puked for a long while. When she eventually stood back up, she looked into the mirror and started crying. I'm not letting this slide.
Vania watched Yvonne rush off and told Felicia, "Make sure she doesn't hurt herself or something. I don't want her to get into any trouble."
"Of course. I'll be leaving now, Mr. Luke, Ms. Greyson." She quickly went and looked for Yvonne.
Vania wasn't being kind. She knew she had to teach Yvonne a lesson, since she was trying to wreck her relationship with Hanson despite knowing that they had children together. She wouldn't go so far as to kill her though. Vania looked at her kids. "That was more than enough lesson. Hold back next time."
"Yes, Mommy. We will."
Hanson texted Thomas and held Vania's hand. "Let's go home, darling."
…
Lilith was waiting outside the school gates early the next morning, but she was already getting impatient even though it had not been five minutes since she was here. She looked annoyed.
