Chapter 18
Antony’s face darkened, and he fell silent for a while.
He looked at Crystal taking big bites of meat and wondered how someone could have such a good appetite. This was already the third bowl.
“Eat slowly. No one will take your food away!” Antony looked at her as if she could eat a whole pig. “Aren’t you afraid that your stomach will explode?!”
Crystal slowly stop eating. She seemed to be full. “Hic! I’m so full. My stomach feels so heavy.” When she was in Sunshine Village, she often worried about her next meal. And now, there were so many delicious dishes right in front of her. She had to enjoy them all, of course!
“… Who told you to eat so much? You deserve this!”
“It’s very tiring to stay in the wake. You don’t kneel so you don’t know how hard it is.” Thinking of this, Crystal rubbed her knees. “There was no supper at night, and the cold wind was blowing on me. It’s so uncomfortable when I’m hungry.”
Antony felt annoyed, but when he imagined the scene, he thought that the girl was pretending again. “You still wanted the supper? You’ve eaten almost all the food on the altar!”
Crystal was a little embarrassed.
“Sorry to disturb you.” Someone came from the door.
Luke knocked on the door politely and walked in. His eyes fell on the dishes on the table. “Ma’am, there are something outside that requires your presence.”
Crystal immediately stood up and waved at Antony. “Okay, mister. I’ll go first. Thank you for treating me lunch.”
Antony’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He was her older brother. How did he end up as some stranger mister?
Crystal followed Luke. “Mr. Luke, what can I do for you?”
