Carlton was the head of the Yancey family. Other than the elders who had passed away, he could not personally put food on anyone's plate.
They didn't expect Zoey to receive such an honor. Therefore, everyone's attitude towards her was respectful. Even Carlton himself showed her respect, so no one dared to get on the wrong side of her. They didn't want to bring trouble to themselves.
"Eat more." Carlton ignored what they might be thinking and told Zoey, "You're a bit skinny. If you don't eat your fill, you won't be strong enough to take care of the twins."
Zoey looked down at the food on her plate and noticed that it was exactly what she liked. Her eyes flickered slightly, tears glistening in them. Ever since her father died, this was the first time an elder had given her food in such an amiable manner. The food seemed to taste a hundred times better than usual.
She felt how kind the Yancey family was to her, and grew less afraid of them.
