Ellena originally did not want to respond to Vincent, but when she raised her head and met with his somewhat disappointed gaze, she still asked, "Why?"

"When I was born, my mother passed away during the childbirth. And my father had always been very busy. So, when I was young, I was basically the only one eating at home alone. After I went to high school, I went out to live. Since then, I have been eating outside. If my father by chance thought of me during festivals, he would also call me to go back and have a meal with him.”
