In the dining room which was more like a hall, Adam and Stella sat across from each other. The dishes served were piping hot, steam coming out from them. The old butler left not wanting to be the third wheel, after making sure they didn't need anything else.
They both dug in, eating in silence. None of them spoke about what had happened earlier in the day. As for Stella, she decided not to bother herself about his lie for the time being and left the questioning for tomorrow. She was too tired to deal with anything else for now. All she wanted to do at the moment was to eat the delicious food before her to her satisfaction and have a good sleep.
Adam glanced at Stella every now and then in between his bites. He could sense that her mind was stuck somewhere else. 'May be she's just stressed over the day's event.' He wanted to ask her but decided against it as he didn't want to ruin her mood. He just couldn't stand to see those dazzling eyes tear up again.
