"No need." Vincent did not raise his head.
He even didn't ask her why she didn't eat.
Arabella was somewhat embarrassed. She flushed in her cheeks, full of sadness, awkwardness and grievance. Mostly, she was jealous towards Emily. Why did Vincent prefer to eat Emily's leftovers rather than her untouched food?
She couldn't figure it out, for sure.
Jaquan pulled her arm and had her seated on the stool. "Hurry up and eat. It is getting cold. No other food available in the kitchen, as the power is out."
Other people almost finished eating. Only she had a full wooden bucket. She deliberately said, "I'm on diet. I don't wanna eat."
However, hearing this, Vincent didn't even raise his head.
Emily looked at her instead and said, "It's delicious."
The more Emily said that, the more Arabella didn't want to taste it. She got up and was about to leave, but Stony grabbed her arm and said, "Arabella, do you want chocolate?"
Arabella squeezed out a smile, "No, thank you."
