As soon as Lucy spoke, Eleanor's face turned from red to black and back to red. She could tell that Lucy wanted her to leave, but even as the daughter of the Village Secretary, she seldom had the chance to eat meat and vegetables at home.
Moreover, Ethan gave her limited money during this trip to town. After buying some items, there wasn't enough for another meal. She faked a smile, pretending she didn't understand.
"Ms. Lucy, you're being so distant! You and Albert grew up together, and I am about to marry him. We're going to be family soon. We are more than familiar with each other!"
Lucy wanted to shout, 'We're not family!' but she maintained an innocent look and covered her mouth, "Sister Eleanor, but we don't have enough food! Oh, you can't afford to eat here, can you?"
Lucy's voice was loud, so people around looked over with unfriendly gazes at Eleanor.
