Iris's action was very insulting. However, Jorge was currently so engrossed in that piece of wild ginseng that he never paid this commotion any attention. It was like he had silently approved of Iris's deed.
Winifred was dumbstruck, rooted to the spot, and feeling agitated. Those were gifts that she and Tyr had meticulously picked out for Jorge. But they ended up being handled like trash.
"Let's eat." Once everyone had arrived, Jorge announced that it was time to eat.
The family got seated. Winifred and Tyr were initially sitting at the same table as Jorge. She was a direct family member of the Zea family, so it was only natural for her to sit there.
However, a little while after they were seated, Iris covered her nose in exaggeration as she nagged, "Why is there a sour smell on this table? It's like the smell from a garbage bin."
