"Martha..."
When Suga called her name, she visibly flinched, even though he hadn't raised his voice, in fact, he had spoken even softer. Martha tilted her head slightly.
"I'm not hungry, but… there's something I want to ask you."
Everyone living in this mansion worked for the Arden family— or more accurately, they had no choice but to obey the current leader.
Suga understood that, and he knew that asking forbidden questions wouldn't be easy while he remained in this place. He'd tried many times to talk to Martha, one of them being when he asked about the forest. And she had always answered, 'I don't know.'
Suga wasn't trying to pretend like he could read people's body language perfectly. It was just that—every time he brought up the forest—Martha would avert her gaze, slightly shifting her pupils as if to dodge his stare, all while claiming ignorance.
