An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1384

Chapter 1384: Beheaded

Dustin once again displayed a smile and said, “Come on, eat, don’t be shy.”

Scott, still apprehensive, held his bowl and chopsticks but remained motionless, keeping his head down.

“You’re so thin, and this is the time to grow. You should eat more,” Dustin picked up a piece of sea cucumber and placed it in Scott’s bowl.

“Th-thank you, Dr. Dustin,” Scott managed a forced smile but appeared nervous.

“Why aren’t you eating? Is it not to your liking? Come, try the shrimp and the oxtail,” Dustin said, picking up two dishes and offering them to Scott.
He looked like a caring father.

“That’s enough, Dr. Dustin, please eat,” Scott said, still trembling, and his hands shaking as he held the bowl.

“I’m not hungry. You go ahead,” Dustin smiled.

“I’m… I’m not hungry either,” Scott’s face twitched.

“It’s okay if you’re not hungry. Just taste the flavors. Go ahead.”

Dustin nodded and, noticing that Scott was hesitating, suddenly said, “Why? Don’t tell me you suspect I poisoned the food?”

“Ah?” Scott’s face stiffened, and he forced a smile, sweating on his forehead. “H-how could that be? Dr. Dustin, don’t joke like that.”

“Since that’s the case, why aren’t you eating?” Dustin maintained his smile.

“I’ll eat… I’ll eat…”

Scott swallowed nervously, finally picking up a piece of sea cucumber and putting it in his mouth. He started chewing slowly, all the while looking at Dustin, trying to please him. “Dr. Dustin, you should eat too. The taste is really good.”

Dustin put down his chopsticks and remained silent, just watching Scott.

“Dr. Dustin, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you eating? This is a delicious meal specially prepared for you by the kitchen!”

Scott’s face displayed an awkward smile, and he continued to urge Dustin to eat.

Seeing that Dustin wasn’t responding, Scott’s tone gradually became frantic, and a hint of ferocity appeared on his face. “Dr. Dustin! Eat! Why aren’t you eating yet?! I’ve already eaten! Why won’t you eat?!”

“Scott, I admire your loyalty. You’re willing to risk your own life to achieve your goals. But unfortunately, you’ve miscalculated,” Dustin’s smile slowly faded from his face.

“You… What do you mean?” Scott suddenly felt uneasy.
