"That's enough." I looked at Shannon and helplessly smiled. "Hurry up and eat. The food's getting cold."
Shannon had not eaten anything since waking up in the morning, so she had been starving for a long time. When she started eating, she did so without a single care for her image.
I had eaten in the morning, so I was not very hungry.
When I saw Keith staring fixedly at me, I suddenly felt a little speechless.
He had to flawlessly execute Theo's command.
If I did not eat anything, he would definitely wait until I did.
Left with no other choice, I could only have some food with Shannon.
It was only until he thought that I had eaten a considerable amount did he slowly ask me, "What time are you coming back tonight, Mrs. Grant?"
"She’s not coming back," Shannon said. " Wanda and I plan to stay at my grandpa's. Tell Theo not to wait for her tonight."
Keith looked at me, and I nodded.
He looked like he still had things to say, but in the end, he merely said, "Mrs. Grant, Ms. Collins, I'd like to excuse myself now. Enjoy your meal."
When he left, Shannon looked at me and said, "Do you think Theo is raising you like a child? Why is he so strict?"
I smiled but did not say anything else.
When my phone rang, Shannon saw that it was from Theo and said a little ambiguously, "The two of you had better know your limits in showing your affection to each other. Don't go too far or I'll drown from it."
I ignored her and picked up my phone to answer it.
"I've eaten," I said first.
On the other end of the phone, Theo was silent for a moment. Then, his low and attractive voice rang in my ear. "I know. I hope you liked the food."
I was a little confused. "What's wrong?"
