Lisa wouldn’t have insisted on sharing the same car had she known this would happen.
She pretty much only had herself to blame now.
After they entered the car, Sophia began to wave the ungutted fish in front of Lisa.
“You’ll have to eat this fish sooner or later, so you may as well eat it now.”
Lisa glanced at the fish, which was now staring back at her wide-eyed. “I-I-I’m not eating that!” she stammered.
“Dad says you have to.”
Sophia deliberately brought the fish toward Lisa’s mouth. The fishy stench made the latter’s stomach churn.
“Are you okay, Aunt Lisa? She can’t eat this fish, Ms. Sophia—”
Sophia’s eyes darted to Sofie, who was seated next to Lisa.
“Then why did you try to let Nicole eat it?”
“I… This is all a misunderstanding. I—”
“Another word of nonsense from you, and I’ll let you eat this fish in her place!”
Sofie kept her mouth shut after glancing at the fish and Lisa.
The car was stopped countless times on the way back to the Seet Residence. Every time Sophia waved the fish in front of Lisa, the latter would exit the car and throw up.
Lisa looked completely ashen by the time they arrived at the Seet Residence, as though she had just gone through hell.
“I want to go home!” she wailed. “Take me home, Adam!”
“What happened?” Adam asked, concerned.
“That fish! Sophia tried to make me eat the—”
Before she could tattle, Sophia picked the fish up again.
“The fish is right here. You haven’t eaten it yet! I’ll bring it over to your place and watch you eat it.”
Once again, the smell of the fish wafted into Lisa’s nostrils.
“Ughh…”
Feeling disgusted again, Lisa hurriedly dragged Adam away. “Let’s go! Now!”
I’ll lock the door once we get home, and won’t open it no matter who comes!
Sofie hastily followed them.
