She reached out with her chopsticks to grab a shrimp, but just as she stretched them out, the shrimp was snatched away by a sudden pair of chopsticks, and she heard Samuel Johnson's voice, "Amanda, this shrimp looks plump, try it!"
Mrs. Johnson furrowed her brow, turned her chopsticks to go for some meat, but before she could reach it, it was already taken by Samuel Johnson.
As usual, he placed it into Amanda Smith's bowl.
Having her chosen food taken away by Samuel wouldn't normally make her angry, but seeing it given to Amanda Smith somehow did.
It was a trivial matter, but Mrs. Johnson felt a blockage in her heart as she watched Samuel and Amanda being affectionate across from her, watched Samuel as if he couldn't wait to feed Amanda himself, it set a fire ablaze inside her.
She wanted to throw down her chopsticks and confront Samuel, to ask if he knew what this woman sitting beside him had done!
How could you be so good to her? How could you marry her!
