When the two of them arrived, the noisy dining hall suddenly quieted down.
All eyes were focused on the two of them. Feeling a little uncomfortable, Lily sweated slightly in her palms.
On the contrary, Jack looked calm. Apparently, he was used to these glances.
"Come and sit down."
Mr. Albert's cold and dignified voice came through. Although she was a little scared, she still pretended to be calm and showed a slight smile.
But the former ignored her smile and still looked cold.
Her smile froze on her face.
'Humph, she didn't want to smile. Why does he pull a long face in the early morning? She is not a member of the Nan clan.'
"Grandpa."
Jack nodded and greeted him in a low voice. Then he took her to sit opposite Annie.
Even if she didn't raise her head, she could feel the resentful eyes of Annie. When she raised her head, and she happened to meet her resentful eyes.
'Why do they all pull a long face in the early morning?
Is this the so-called rule of the Nan clan?
Shouldn't they be happy?
If she had known this, she wouldn't have come.'
Feeling the little woman beside him was a little angry, Jack slightly scratched her palm with his fingertips to comfort her.
She tried to calm herself down, lowered her head and kept silent.
"Have breakfast."
The dignified voice of Mr. Albert came again, then the people in front of the table dared to pick up their chopsticks.
She couldn't help sympathizing with the Nan family. They were really heartless. How could such a happy thing as eating be so serious?
Annie turned her head aside and said angrily. She was really confused why Jack protected this woman so much.
She wasn't good-shaped or beautiful. When did Jack have such a bad taste?
"Clap!"
Jack threw the chopsticks in his hand in front of her, and his face darkened. In his deep black eyes, anger and coldness intertwined, which made her shiver.
"If you don't want to eat, then get out!"
Feeling her brother's anger, Annie was a little scared and her face turned blue all of a sudden. She picked up the chopsticks and ate angrily.
"It's early in the morning. Stop quarreling."
Mr. Albert was eating the porridge expressionlessly and didn't even raise his head.
They didn't know who he said the last sentence to.
Without saying a word, Jack quietly picked up food into Lily's bowl.
