Lucas seemed to have gulped down a glass of water in one gulp. He then rose from his seat, although there was still some food left on his plate. The portion of food that Ellena gave him this morning really tortured him. He felt that his stomach was not strong enough to hold that much leftover food, so he decided to end the breakfast activity right away.
"Okay, I'll go first," said Lucas, who seemed to have been standing in front of his mother and wife. Meanwhile, his father had already left for the office.
"I'll walk you forward." Ellena immediately ended the breakfast activity, then got up as well as Lucas did. "Let me get your briefcase first, you just wait in front," she added later.
Ellena ran to Lucas' study which was not far from the dining room, after saying goodbye to Veronica.
