Bella’s POV
I stayed in my room for hours, pondering my thoughts, until a maid came to announce that it was time for dinner. Leaving my room, I made my way to the dining area. Upon arriving, I saw Tina and the twins already seated. My heart clenched at the sight of them, but I composed myself. One of the twins swiftly stood up from his seat and pulled out a chair for me. It felt awkward, but I murmured a thank you before settling down across from Miss Tina. My gaze met hers, and she flashed me a smile that I could easily detect was fake.
“I asked the cook to make your favorite,” one of the twins said. I hummed and glanced at the various dishes displayed on the table. Truthfully, they were my favorite, and such gestures should have moved me, but they didn’t. I just wasn’t in a good mood.
