Hendrix had already walked towards me, holding a bowl of plums in his hands.

"I won't," I quickly replied with a short answer, and I hung up the phone.

Since I had ended the call, he sat down beside me and brought a plum to my mouth while saying gently, "Try this."

I shook my head. I really didn't want to eat it.
