Weston blocked her hands with his bony wrist that emitted a faint elegance, showing off the precious chronometer he wore.
However, he seemed to completely ignore that fact and put his hand into the water directly. Then, as if feeling it was getting in the way, he took the watch off and tossed it aside.
Nicole could not understand at all. âWhy do you treat her so well when she does this to you?â
She did not get a reply from Weston, who seemed to be completely oblivious to her.
Her eyes slowly fell on the wound on the back of his hand, and her pupils contracted. âMr. Ford, youâre hurt, what happened?â
His wound was soaked in the water until it turned a little white.
Nicoleâs heart sank as she looked at his wound. âYou donât have to do this, Mr. Ford. Let me help you, or the wound will be infectedâ¦â
âIâll say it again, donât meddle with my matters.â
The manâs patience finally ran out, and he looked at her with cold eyes. His eyes were full of impatience and rejection.
Her eyes fluttered, and she suddenly stood up as if thinking of something. âIs this from the last time you cooked for Stella?â
Apart from that, she really could not think of any other place where this man could have been injured except in the kitchen.
She had also heard that he had borrowed the kitchen here before. He must have been for cooking for Stella.
But Stella always had dinner with everyone else. This meant she had never touched the food Weston made for her.
She was just torturing him on purpose!
The more Nicole thought about it, the angrier she became, but Weston simply ignored her.
She stood there for a long time and then ran furiously to Stella. Stella was preparing to rest and raised her eyebrow when she saw Nicole coming. âWhatâs the matter?â
She held the glass of red wine that Weston had sent over during the day and took a gentle sip.
As expected of Westonâs taste, it was pretty good.
If the way he fed it to her before had not been too offensive, she might have been able to enjoy the taste of this red wine properly.
âDo you know that Mr. Fordâs washing your clothes? Havenât they been washed? Why ask him to wash them again? You are deliberately torturing him, arenât you?â
âItâs not. He did it of his own free will.â
Stella slowly sat on the makeshift chair. She had already changed into her pajamas. It seemed like she was planning to rest.
Nicole took a deep breath. âDo you not think about Mr. Fordâs situation at all? Do you know what those people in the crew are saying about him? They said that he is licking your boots and he is your fawner!â
âWhat people say and do have got nothing to do with me, besides-â
Stella raised her glass and smiled at her. âIâd appreciate it if you could find a way to get Weston to stop doing that.â
Nicole could not listen any longer. âYou are clearly emboldened because of his love for you! Why would you do that to someone who loves you?â
âBecause Iâve been trampled before.â
Stella said, âLove is not a big deal. I have devoted to it before, but I didnât get such a good ending and lost the most important thing.â
She said it in a lightâhearted way, briefly mentioning the pain of the past.
