"No," Edgar slid his plate away to prevent her from giving him back the eggs. "There are vegetables cooked up in the eggs. You have been enjoying it so eat this last set and I will not put anything else on your plate."
"Okay," Alessandra replied. She did like the eggs prepared but did not want to eat too much in front of the others.
