"Tiff came to see me." Anna held on tightly to Tiffany's hand, looking very affectionate.
There was a flash of jealousy in Kelly's eyes. She had been trying her best to win Anna's heart at home, but the latter often ignored her.
She wondered what kind of strategy Tiffany had used to make Anna warm to her so much. Kelly felt extremely unhappy, but she maintained a polite smile. "I didn't know you and Tiffany knew each other, Mrs. Lewis Senior!"
"We met the last time I was admitted to the hospital. Tiff and I are hospital buddies," Anna said, her eyes crinkling into a smile.
Kelly felt annoyed. She took out the thermos she had brought and said, "Mrs. Lewis Senior, I made you soup. I had it simmering all night long. Do you want to taste it?"
Anna waved a hand. "I've already eaten."
"You've eaten?" Kelly turned and saw the takeout box in the trash can.
"Yes, Tiffany brought me soup too. It was delicious. I finished the entire thing," Anna said. "You don't have to worry about my dinner, either. I've already arranged things with Tiffany, and she'll bring dinner for me."
Kelly's lips twitched. "I'd better ask Tiffany for advice on how to win your heart."
Anna patted Tiffany's hand and said, "We just get along. The moment I met her, I liked her. She looks demure and honest."
Kelly wondered if Anna was implying that she was neither demure nor honest.
She felt like she had wasted her time trying to curry favor with Anna. She turned to Vincent and said, "Have you eaten, Mr. Lewis?"
"Not yet." Vincent's eyes flicked over to Tiffany when he answered.
Tiffany was very honest. She had only brought one bowl of soup for breakfast, and he hadn't even had a single taste of it.
Anna had praised it so much that he had been tempted to try it, but with Tiffany there, he hadn't thought it would look good if he'd tried to steal food from his own grandmother.
Therefore, he had suppressed the desire to do so.
"That's good. I happen to have brought soup," Kelly said. She ladled some into a bowl and handed it to Vincent.
"Thanks." Vincent took it and looked at the soup. However, he didn't have much of an appetite, so he only had a few spoonfuls.
"How does it taste?" Kelly asked hopefully.
