She excitedly instructed the servant standing nearby, then took Emily Walker's bowl and filled it with a generous serving of bamboo shoots and lean pork egg soup and set it in front of her.
"Emily, are you hungry? Here, drink some soup first", Vivian Ferguson urged anxiously.
However, faced with the large bowl of soup that the woman across from her was offering, Emily didn't accept it and instead cringed a little towards Baron Stuart's side in apprehension.
Noticing the fear shown in her expression, Baron Stuart pursed his lips slightly, held up the bowl of soup and said, "Drink the soup first."
Emily glanced at the few people at the dining table, and then at the supremely gentle man beside her, before finally extending her hand to take the bowl of soup and carefully savored it sip by sip.
Seeing her relishing the soup so heartily, and for the first time in their presence, Vivian Ferguson couldn't help but express an appreciative smile.
