She originally planned to deliver the meal at five, then head back for her own dinner.

However, things took a turn and it took two hours before she could hand it over to Stuart at seven. Now, as she watched Stuart eat, her own stomach began to grumble, reminding her she hadn't eaten yet. "Morwenna, are you hungry?"

"Uh, yeah... a bit," she admitted, her cheeks flushing slightly. It was somewhat embarrassing, wanting to eat the food she had brought for someone else.

But the hunger was real, especially as she watched him eat.

Stuart pushed the bread and soup towards her and continued eating.

Without needing further explanation from Stuart, Morwenna understood his gesture. She took the bread and soup, her smile bright as she said, "Thanks, Stuart, you're really kind!" Stuart just stared.

After all, the meal was cooked by Morwenna and she had delivered it too.

Sharing some of it made him kind?

That was a new one for Stuart. Throughout his life, people had called him ruthless or cold-hearted, but never kind. Yet, Morwenna had praised him more than once.

Whenever Morwenna ate, she did so with such relish that it made anyone dining with her feel hungrier just by watching.
