Chapter 257 - And An kai happens to be one of them. (1/2)

Sitting around the dining table, just as always, Cai near Kai, the old man opposite the new error, Roline. and Tong opposite Linda. at fast, the old man thought it wasn't going to work with Roline around but surprising, she was much calmer than certain individuals. Linda couldn't control her breathing, she wanted someone out of her face.

”Grandfather, when are holding a ceremony here again? I miss those jealous eyes, people were dying that night, remember?”

”I do haha! though it's sad uncle doesn't...” he answered as if hitting onto something but no one responded and from the looks of it, Roline didn't care.

”I know but I like him that way, he is my favourite anyways. Cai shrugged her shoulders before smiling at An kai”

”Are you willing to die for him then?”

”Absolutely not, I love my mommy more but for the start, I can stay awake for him...I think...” she answered truthfully. but hearing such a smoothe conversation between the old man and Cai, Linda looked at Roline who had her head down, fork in hand but didn't lift it up to eat.”

”Would you prefer chopsticks? they can get you a pair. with the kind gesture, the maid who wasn't far away went ahead and brought over a pair but Roline didn't even touch them. An kai who had long noticed her lack of appetite looked at the platter she was eating from before he took the unused bowel on the table, filled it with rice under everyone's gaze, he exchanged it with the platter making everyone pause in their actions. Tong had kept herself low key but this action startled her almost immediately!

Under everyone's' gaze, An kai went back to his own business without looking at anyone.

”It's had to eat using chopsticks on a plate just as this one, knocking her spoon on the platter she was eating from, Cai explained. Roline was still ignoring everyone by keeping quiet and head low, but hearing the sound of a metal clicking onto the glass, she raised her face to Cai.

Wasn't she supposed to say thank you? Cai wondered but noticing the food in her mother's bowl, she turned to An kai: rice alone doesn't taste good, uncle. indirectly telling him to do something about the situation.

Roasted rainbow carrots, beef stew, skillet chicken and finally, the spicy chicken stir-fry...An kai darted his eyes around the table to find what could fit the letter's taste but he could not decide. he looked at Roline's former plate-relived, he opened the dish and scoped a whole big spoon of spiced chicken stew right into the bowl before Roline.
