Victor Morgan, however, looked quite calm. All this teasing had no effect on him whatsoever.
He picked out a large marrow bone and placed it in Jessie Sterling's soup bowl. "See how this tastes."
Jessie Sterling took a couple of sips of the soup. It was a pork bone and daikon radish stew. Victor had already skimmed the fat off the top, but she still found it a bit greasy and gamey, which made her feel a little unwell.
Staring at the big bone in her bowl, Jessie Sterling knitted her brows. "I don't want to eat this."
Victor Morgan said nothing, simply sliding his own bowl over, motioning for Jessie to put it in his.
"Then what do you want to eat right now?" Victor asked.
Jessie had barely touched her chopsticks, only nibbling on a few side dishes.
She shook her head. "I don't think I'm very hungry."
Victor said, "You just said you wanted roast duck."
Jessie: "..."
In any case, looking at the steaming hot food in front of her, she really had no appetite.
"I want cherries."
