Jonathan furrowed his brows. He lowered his gaze and tuned to Alicia “Head back first, Alicia”
Alicia asked, “But what about Mr. Ford Senior?”
“I’ll get someone to bring the lunchbox to Grandpa,” he interrupted without hesitation. He was clearly trying to send her on her way.
Alicia wanted to say something, but the chill in his eyes stopped her short. She just pursed her lips and flashed a sweet smile. “Alright, Jonathan. I’ll come back another day. I won’t put you in a tough spot.”
With that, she walked away, looking over her shoulder every few steps.

She didn’t want to leave, but she was afraid of going against him.

Edward still looked slurp and healthy

I didn’t greet lum, and I didn’t rolling eyes at him either. Instead, I just walked back to my room with a blank fact
I could feel lus gaze lingering on me as the door shut. He eventually turned away, shaking his head like he had already given up on me.
