Emma broke down and trembled as she looked at Alina, wanting to say something, yet she couldn't say anything at the moment.
Alina looked at her with a smile on her face, "Why don't you scream anymore? Didn't you say before that you were the most important person in his heart?"
Most important?
Emma had been attacking Alina three years ago, telling her time and time again that she was the most important person in Caleb's heart.
And now what?
The deep breaths couldn't suppress the dull ache in her heart.
Was her important?
Once, when Caleb had saved her, she had thought she was the most important, but Alina had disappeared for three years, nothing had happened between them, and that was all Emma needed to know that she was wrong.
Everything Caleb had done to her was because of that night, but everything that night had been wiped out by that illness.
If she hadn't done what she did for Caleb two years ago, how could she still be in touch with him?
If Caleb had been what she thought he was, they would have been together for the three years Alina was gone.
Why wait until now?
Why even wait until now to have Alina here, humiliating her like this.
"Alina, even if I am not the most important being in his heart, do you think that you are?"
Alina raised her eyebrows and looked at Emma.
Emma flinched at the darkness in her eyes, and swallowed the shouting she had prepared.
She was so horrible.
From last night to now, who knows what more horrible things Alina could have done?
......
Evening.
At dinner time, Caleb came back after all, and when he saw that there was only spicy food on the table, his brows knitted together.
"Is this all you're having?"
"Is there a problem?" Alina looked over at Caleb, looking like she was eating well.
Did he lock her in here to make her feel so bad that she couldn't even eat.
Caleb frowned.
When he saw the same face in front of Emma, his face darkened." Lois."
"Yes, Master Caleb."
"Is that all?"
"Lady Alina said she wanted spicy food, so the kitchen made it all to Lady Alina's liking."
Lois' tone was respectful, but it was also an invisible reminder to Emma of what she really was.
Even eating here was to Alina's liking.
Since yesterday, Lois has been a constant reminder of what Emma is, and of what Caleb is.
What he should do in this situation? There are things he shouldn't do.
Caleb, "Miss Bell's tastes will be lighter from now on."
Not a good tone.
Alina's chopsticks were in her hands.
Lois was stunned too.
It was obvious that Caleb hadn't expected to talk about Emma's tastes, and Emma, for a moment, was relieved and smug.
But when she saw the coldness in Alina's eyes, she couldn't have cared less about her place in Caleb's heart.
"Caleb."
