Trying Hard

By the time she returned to the Sterling family manor, Violet was not as vibrant as usual. She just quietly sat there. It seemed like she had lost the tough exterior she had been forcing to portray. She was now the helpless little girl again. With her head lowered and picking through the rice with the chopsticks in her hand, she was thinking about Justin's phone call. "Violet, what's wrong?" When Henry saw that something was wrong with her, he wanted to cheer her up. "Have you finished counting? How many grains of rice are there in your bowl?" Violet raised her head to look at Henry with resentment. Her eyes were watery, as if she was about to shed tears. "Hey!" Jeana was extremely dissatisfied. She glared at her husband. "What are you doing? If you don’t know how to talk, then don't." "I'm full." Violet put down her bowl and chopsticks and went upstairs, drooping her head. When the Sterling couple saw that she had not eaten...they knew something had happened! Henry gave Jeana a look.
