Even without my past memories, the food Caleb had chosen was undeniably delectable. Before I knew it, I had devoured more than half of it.
I was satiated, yet when I glanced down, I noticed there was still a considerable amount left.

I shook my head and clarified, No, they have taken excellent care of me. I simply have some free time and felt like enjoying some homemade noodles.

He must be worried that I might be affected by rumors, but the servants in the manor were too intimidated by Andrew to discuss anything in front of me, let alone give me a hard time.
I shook my head and reassured him, Dont worry. Im fine.
Andrew pressed his lips together and nodded, his silence stretching into a moment of stillness in the living room. Yet, he didnt seem inclined to leave.
Sensing that something was amiss, I guessed he might have something to tell me.
