The children shook their heads. "Serina, the lady was cooking in the kitchen when the power suddenly went off. So the food is not done yet."
One of the girls boosted her courage and said, "But the spinach porridge is pretty nice too. Serina, why don't you have a try?"
She raised her bowl yet then lowered her head with a sense of inferiority, retracting her hand that was holding the bowl.
Serina took the bowl and took a sip. "Well, it's really delicious, but I'm full. If I didn't eat before I came here, I am afraid I'll finish all your spinach porridge. And you will be starving if that happens."
The girl smiled, and the children beside her laughed.
Miles swallowed his saliva. The spinach porridge looked like plain water. It had probably only spinach in it, and the girl had tasted it.
He didn't think Serina would taste it, but she did.
