Looking at the few grains of rice left in Evelyn's bowl, Aunt May felt a bit sorry.
"Sir," Aunt May said softly, "if you keep teasing the Young Madam like this, she'll become skinny from hunger."
"Skinny is good," Caden Lockwood replied gruffly, "saves her from attracting bees and butterflies outside all day."
Aunt May couldn't help but laugh.
Sir must be referring to the Young Madam's proud, ample chest!
Caden Lockwood curled his lips, looking at the few pieces of sweet and sour ribs in the bowl, and finally turned to eat something else.
After he was full, Aunt May, understanding him well, added a bowl of rice, transferred all the ribs into it, placed the bowl on the table, and then, with a meaningful glance, returned to the kitchen to continue her work.
Caden Lockwood's face was somber. Thinking of Evelyn's big, watery eyes, he felt full of guilt.
Next time she's eating, he won't tease her.
The condition being, if he can hold back.
