"Wait!" Maeve hurriedly called out as Charles was about to turn around and leave. Almost immediately, she said, "One hand, right? I'll do it!"
Charles paused. He narrowell his eyes and looked at the pale-faced Maeve, who was pretending to be calm. Suddenly, he smiled.
He then pointed to the fruit knife on the table. Are you sure?
Maeve bit her lip and did not answer right away. Her mind raced, but eventually, she grabbed the knife.

Charles eyes darkened.
Perhaps she had convinced him, or maybe he had his reasons. Either way, he released her wrist and muttered indifferently. "Fine, you pass."
