Lila glanced at Amelia and shook her head.
This kid was really something.
She was a proper heiress, but instead of living comfortably, she came to the set to endure hardships.
Lila helped open the food and pushed it toward the three of them. "Go ahead and eat."
Kieran placed everything down and handed Lila some utensils. "You should eat more too. You've lost weight recently."
The other three who were eating happily suddenly looked up, their cheeks puffed out.
They stared at Lila blankly.
They had been together every minute and hadn't noticed that Lila had lost weight.
After Kieran's reminder, they looked more carefully and indeed noticed that Lila had slimmed down a little.
The three of them set down their utensils and waited for Lila to eat first.
She had just finished the piece of meat Kieran had given her. When she looked up and saw them all staring at her, she was confused.
"Have you all had enough?"
This was strange. None of them were light eaters. Although they controlled their weight and didn't overeat, they wouldn't just have only two bites.
Kieran glanced at them. "Eat. If it's not enough, I'll go buy more."
The three of them were dumbfounded. Who could believe it? The dignified president of the Morgan Group was delivering food to them.
But once Kieran said that, the three of them exchanged a look, hesitated for only a second, and then buried their heads in their food.
They tacitly avoided touching the dishes that Lila loved to eat.
After finishing the meal, the three of them quickly cleaned up the leftovers and left so that the two of them could talk.
Amelia turned back to look at Kieran. Their eyes met, and she didn't know what came over her. With a sudden impulse, she clenched her fist and gave him an encouraging gesture.
Kieran was left speechless.
Lila watched her hurry away, trying hard not to laugh.
