Summer was surprised that Stanley actually offered to have dinner with Lester? Her expression changed and then she looked at Stanley again.
Stanley looked upset. His injuries were so severe that he couldn't even hold his chopsticks steadily while eating.
Lester instructed the maid behind him, "Why are you still standing here? Give him a spoon."
The maid immediately brought a spoon over and took away the chopsticks in Stanley's hand.
Stanley seemed to be unwilling. The maid had to forcefully take the chopsticks away from him.
Summer witnessed it.
Stanley was a very proud person. When he faced Leonardo, he showed great confidence. Facing Lester, whom he had deep hatred of, he would never admit defeat.
Now, not only did he offer to have dinner with Lester, but also allowed Lester to ask the servant to change a spoon for him in front of everyone.
This was definitely an insult to him. His pride and confidence was almost destroyed by Lester.
"I've heard that you haven't eaten for several days. Can you hold the spoon steadily? Do you..." Lester looked at Stanley with a concerned expression. "Do you need someone to feed you?"
"No." Stanley finally spoke. His voice was hoarse.
But Lester just smiled.
Summer pretended not to hear them and focused her attention on the food. However, she couldn't help but peek at Stanley.
She had an intuition that there was something wrong with Stanley. Recalling the movement behind the curtains in Stanley's room, Summer guessed Stanley was probably trying to escape.
Not long after, a bodyguard came in with a phone and whispered into Lester's ear. Soon Lester left the dining room with a gloomy expression.
Only Summer and Stanley were left. Two maids were standing behind them.
When Summer was picking up the dishes, Stanley also reached out his spoon, which collided with Summer's chopsticks.
Summer paused for a moment and withdrew her chopsticks. Stanley held a spoon and it was difficult for him to pick up the dishes.
Summer frowned. Then she picked up the dishes and placed them in his bowl.
