Chapter 26: Crew

"And all the cursing? At such a young age, where did you learn so many obscenities?"

"..."

Hallie Morgan lowered her head, not daring to speak. She sniffled, and a growl from her stomach echoed.

She was hungry again.

Dylan Collins evidently heard the sound too.

"You didn't eat?" He cast her a suspicious look.

Hallie licked her lips and nodded sulkily, "I ate before the event, but didn't eat after I came back. I heard that after you become pregnant, you get hungry pretty easily ..."

"Alright, go eat." Dylan Collins cut her off, seemingly uninterested in even glancing at her.

Hallie got up limping, looking at him in surprise. Was he actually letting her go eat?

Ignoring the pain in her buttocks, she hastily made her exit.

Watching her leave, Dylan Collins scoffed, "You're really good at pretending."

Although, he did admit that he might have hit a little too hard out of anger.
