Chapter 142: Intentions

When we returned to the mansion, Sir Benjamin was already waiting for us.

Sir Benjamin looked spirited as if the earlier pale look was just an illusion.

This time he already prepared a table full of snacks for us. Jia was already eating and attacking the cake.

I immediately pull Lucas towards the table. I served him tea and cut a huge slice of cake and put it on his plate.

I whispered to him, "You have to eat a lot. This is a rare chance. Eat as much as possible or else Jia would finish it all. She is very competitive."

"I can hear you," Jia said as she munched on the cake.

I pretended I did not hear that and began eating.

Lucas looked at us who was stuffing our faces as if we haven't eaten for decades with a baffled look. He then started drinking tea first. His table manners were good. Like Ms. Lilian, he eat gracefully, but the speed of his spoon was fast. He did not eat less than us.

Sir Benjamin who was ignored because of the snack: "...."

"Cough!"

A loud cough interrupt
