How could Edward Anderson not see that Cecelia was driving him away? He got up, stroked Cecelia's soft hair and said, "You eat first while it's still hot. I'll go to the restroom, and then I'll leave."
He originally planned to have dinner with her, but now he was being disliked by his own sister.
Cecelia nodded, watching Edward head towards the restroom. She hesitated, thinking about eating first and then looking for Bella, which would give Edward enough time to leave.
However, Mr. Martin came to find her, so she had to put down her chopsticks. Cecelia decided to meet Mr. Martin first and then have her meal.
When Edward came out of the restroom, he didn't see Cecelia and thought she had gone to the break room, so he went there to look for her.
Little did he expect that it was Bella Scott who was resting inside.
