Samantha was like being pardoned and she hurriedly carried her things in.
Seeing Ruben’s face, she wanted to smash the dishes onto his head!
Why was he so arrogant?
She felt that she shouldn’t have agreed to Dillon’s request and let him starve.
She was so kind to send him some food and he still treated her so arrogantly. Was that her responsibility to send him the food?
Samantha put the food on the table and was about to turn around and leave.
“Stay.” He spoke coldly.
Her wrist was grabbed by Ruben off guard, and she could feel the coolness in his fingertips. It seemed like she was controlled by him.
She felt like he would let him touch his body freely but yet she could never escape from him.
She was dumbfounded and said hoarsely, “Do you still have anything to ask me?”
“I haven’t eaten,” He said.
“I know you haven’t eaten.” She looked puzzled, wondering what he wanted to do again.
Ruben’s breath hitched, “Stand here and watch me eat.”
Samantha was speechless.
She felt like she had heard a joke. She looked at him with an odd look as if she was looking at a psychopath.
“Are you crazy? Why should I watch you eating?” Samantha was straightforward and taunted him.
What he was doing today was really unlike something he would do usually. Had he changed?
Ruben looked displeased and he gave her a meaningful look, “I heard that you were looking for Gabriel.”
He replied to her taunting calmly.
Hearing Gabriel’s name, Samantha was surprised, “You know where he is?”
The man stopped talking and slowly let go of her hand. He leaned lazily on the upholstery of his chair, saying calmly, “Why should I tell you?”
Samantha suddenly felt that she had hope. She knew that he was going to make things difficult for her and she smiled obediently, “Eat quickly. I’ll stay here and watch you eat.”
She had never thought that she could change her mood so quickly before she met Ruben.
Samantha hurriedly gave him the chopsticks.
He was stunned and looked at her calmly before he took the chopsticks from her slowly.
“You said I’m crazy?” He smiled mysteriously.
Samantha’s heart throbbed for a moment. She smiled even more ingratiatingly, “No! I think you must have misheard. How could you be crazy? I am the one who is crazy.”
Her submissive look greatly pleased him, and Ruben’s showed a gentler look.
“I didn’t expect Miss Powell to be so eloquent and knew how to trim your sail.” He smiled.
She knew that he wasn’t trying to praise her so she pretended not to understand his words.
“You’d better eat quickly.” She gritted her teeth, feeling disgusted inwardly.
He was just teasing her deliberately.
Ruben ate his food very slowly. It wasn’t that he was trying to make things difficult for her, but his shoulders and arms were very painful, even simple movements like holding chopsticks would make her bruises hurt.
He ate more and more slowly. After half an hour, he hadn’t finished half of his food in the bowl.
Samantha was already furious watching him eating, “Are you doing this on purpose? Just say it if you don’t want to tell me where Gabriel is.”
Ruben showed a gloomy look as he slowly put down his chopsticks, “Feed me please.”
It was too painful.
Why didn’t he ask her who was in front of him to feed her? Why did he have to strain himself so much?
All he knew was that it really hurt. Samantha should have felt more pain than he was now.
But back then, no one cared about her. Where did she go when she was injured?
