Chapter 996
Stella was also in a bit of a daze. She shot several glances at Weston, attempting to say something.
She wanted to ask him how badly he had been injured.
Weston, however, did not say anything.
Even when she tried to ask, he deliberately interrupted her, as if not wanting her to say it out.
“Aren‘t you a big fan of caviar? Try some.” He shoved some caviar into her mouth.
Her appetite had gradually improved under his nurture. She was even allowed to eat food she wanted when she
was outside.
After Weston fed her the caviar, he added some of her favorites on her plate, knowing she was shy and wouldn‘t
want to stretch out to take the dishes across the table.
She ate absent–mindedly, observing the man‘s demeanor as she chewed.
He did not look abnormal in any way, as if he wasn‘t hurt.
This made her doubt herself for a moment...

She clearly saw the acid splashing on him...
However, he looked so calm that it seemed what had just happened did not happen at all.

She wondered if it was a matter of angle, where he merely looked as if he‘d been splashed, but that wasn‘t the
case either.
After all, she was intact, so maybe he was only splashed with a little acid...
As those thoughts coursed through her mind, she subconsciously looked at the man.
He was wearing a black suit today, and if he had indeed been splashed, the corrosion would be visible.
But the moment she moved sideways, he put down his cutlery and looked at her. “What‘s wrong? Is there
something you want to eat?” Her vision was blocked. She shook her head. “No, I just...”
Holding her cutlery, she wanted to ask him something .
But thinking of his previous reaction, she could only swallow all those doubts.
“Nothing.”
He seemed to read her mind and rubbed her fingers under the table. “Don‘t worry, I am fine.”
She hummed in response. She was so preoccupied that she had not eaten much.
Weston frowned slightly at the sight of that. “You have no appetite, or are you just flustered?” Stella forced a smile.
“No, I am just full.”
“You should eat some,” Wendy interrupted when she overheard. “Women shouldn‘t always go hungry just to lose
weight!”
Stella was a bit embarrassed.
She was not trying to lose weight, but she really lacked the appetite to eat.
Weston pulled a tissue and wiped her mouth. “Mother, she has a bad stomach. She‘s not doing it deliberately.”

something, but she did not like to be forced to eat either.
He knew this.
Wendy naturally said nothing when he defended her and simply responded with a smile.
He glanced at Stella. “Don‘t force yourself to eat. You can ask the housekeepers to send food upstairs if you get
hungry later.”
Stella nodded.
He did not give her much food after that.
Her mind, however, was not on that. Instead, she was
looking at him, as if thinking about something.
Weston let her be, knowing well enough what she had in mind.
If he showed even the slightest sign of injury, Warren would have had him treated with great fanfare.
He might even exaggerate his injuries.
Even if it was not her fault, he had indeed taken a splash of acid, fending off the attack meant for Stella.
