She Quit Her Family and Found Herself novel Chapter 345

Hulda grabbed her food and led Katherine to a shaded spot. "Come on, let's eat together."

It was only then that Zane noticed Caspian and Dylan. He blinked in surprise. "Oh, Mr. Sterling is here too?" He gestured to the spread of food he had brought. "Would you like to join us?"

Before Dylan could open his mouth to politely decline, Caspian had already accepted. "Yes, thank you."

Zane waved his hands enthusiastically. "No trouble at all! I brought this for everyone anyway, and there's plenty to go around!"

Since Caspian and Dylan didn't have their own lunchboxes, the cafeteria cook quickly grabbed a couple of trays and dished out generous portions for both men.

Unlike Hulda's cool indifference, Dr. Lynch and the others were incredibly welcoming, enthusiastically pulling Caspian over to join them in the shade.

Once seated, Dylan immediately started inhaling his food.

Caspian, on the other hand, was the one who agreed to stay for the meal, yet he just stared at his tray, his chopsticks hovering without picking anything up.

Hulda gave a soft scoff. Caspian had been a picky eater since childhood.

Zane looked suddenly embarrassed. "Mr. Sterling, is the food not to your liking?"

"Wasting food is shameful," Hulda said lightly. She scooped a large bite of rice into her mouth, then picked up a piece of chicken and placed it on Katherine's tray.

The little girl probably rarely got to eat meat, and she dug in eagerly.

While chewing, she shot a look up at Caspian.

The glance carried a distinctly provocative edge.

Caspian's expression darkened. He picked up a chunky yellow piece from his tray and brought it to his mouth.

"Wait, that's—" Abby tried to warn him, but Hulda stopped her with a subtle gesture.

Caspian popped the entire yellow chunk into his mouth. The moment he bit down, all the color drained from his face, leaving him looking sickly pale.

He had thought it was a potato. He hadn't realized it was a massive chunk of raw ginger...
