Dinner was in full swing. Charlotte sat next to Nora, her plate looking like a mountain of food no matter how much she ate.
“Nora, I’m telling you, keep feeding me like this and you won’t have a daughter left,” Charlotte groaned, propping her chin on her hand and lazily swirling some meat around her plate. She made no effort to hide the fact that she had zero interest in eating anymore.
“The babies need to eat,” Nora replied with a gentle smile, her voice full of warmth. “Come on, Lottie, just a little more for me.”
Truth was, Charlotte had barely touched her food, especially the meat. Nora watched her, getting more anxious. In a little while, the baby would only grow bigger and Charlotte’s body would have to keep up. She worried that if Charlotte didn’t take care of herself, she wouldn’t be able to handle the extra strain from her special gene.
Charlotte let out a quiet sigh. “They’re full too,” she muttered, dropping her utensils and slumping back in her chair.
Nora was at a loss for words. Out-maneuvering Charlotte in an argument was hopeless. After a pause, she could only give in and say, “You know how much your grandfather hates seeing food go to waste.”
Pulling out the big guns—Robert was her last resort.
“Alright,” Charlotte said after thinking it over. She picked up her plate, and for a moment Nora thought she’d finally won.
But instead, Charlotte simply handed her plate over to Anthony and shot him a cheeky wink. “Here.”
Anthony took it without a second’s hesitation, picked up his utensils, and started eating as if nothing was out of the ordinary.
Nora’s smile froze. For a moment, she just sat there, speechless. Was Charlotte ever going to stop being spoiled like this?
At the same time, Shirley found herself sitting right next to Samantha.
“So that’s how things are,” Samantha said, beaming as she reached out with the serving chopsticks and placed a piece of fish on Shirley’s plate. “You know, Shirley, you’re such a wonderful girl.”
Shirley’s cheeks flushed pink at the compliment. “Thank you. That’s very generous of you,” she replied softly, her manners impeccable.
