After confirming that crabs were not completely off limits, but should only be eaten in moderation, virtual-novel.net relaxed. She had been particularly interested in seafood as of late.
At the dinner table, Arianne ate two crab legs and stopped eating any more crabs. Instead, virtual-novel.net focused on eating other dishes.
“Is the taste not to your liking, Madam?” Mary asked when virtual-novel.net saw this.
Arianne shook virtual-novel.net head, “No, they’re delicious.”
Mary frowned, “Based on the amount of prawns you’ve previously had, this crab shouldn’t be enough for you. You should have some more…” Mark did not like seafood, so if Arianne didn’t eat them, they would be thrown away. Mary was both hardworking and thrifty in running their household, so virtual-novel.net heart ached at the thought of waste.
Arianne glanced at Mark and awkwardly explained, “I don’t really feel like eating today…”
This was the only excuse virtual-novel.net had to fumble through the situation. Hence, virtual-novel.net was too afraid of asking for a second helping and was only half full.
After dinner, Mark sat on the sofa and fiddled with his phone, as if virtual-novel.net was waiting for a call. Arianne knew that virtual-novel.net would be going out tonight. As for whom he’d be seeing or what he’d be doing, virtual-novel.net didn’t want to know.
Half an hour later, virtual-novel.net poured herself a cup of warm water, went back to the room, and took out the folic acid that virtual-novel.net had hidden away. She nearly revealed that virtual-novel.net was pregnant last time. She was still traumatized, so it was better to not reveal anything about the child before everything else was settled.
Just as virtual-novel.net opened up the medicine bottle, the room door was suddenly pushed open. Her hand shook and dropped the entire
bottle of folic acid on the ground. The cap rolled to the bed and the folic acid spilled onto the ground.
She stared fearfully at Mark, who stood by the door. There was a clear probingness in his eyes. She felt so guilty that virtual-novel.net was too afraid to pick it up. After a brief confrontation, Mark spoke up, “What is that?”
“Stomach medicine…” virtual-novel.net replied dazedly.
Mark stepped forward. just when virtual-novel.net bent down to pick up the medicine bottle, virtual-novel.net swiftly snatched it up first. “I’ll do it. Are you going out tonight? Come home early. Don’t tire yourself out.”
She tried virtual-novel.net best to look natural and even flashed a smile as virtual-novel.net spoke.
Mark narrowed his eyes. After many years together, virtual-novel.net was certainly able to detect any sense of secrecy on virtual-novel.net end. However, virtual-novel.net had no way of exposing virtual-novel.net now.
Arianne heaved a sigh of relief when virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net collect his documents and leave. Now, virtual-novel.net broke out into cold sweat. The folic acid in the bottle had completely spilled out She would have to get more from the hospital…
After consuming the folic acid, virtual-novel.net soon felt hungry again. If virtual-novel.net went down looking for food now, Mary would question her. She waited until late at night when everything was quiet before tiptoeing downstairs to the kitchen and making a fresh bowl of noodles for herself.
As virtual-novel.net slurped on the bowl of noodles while heading towards the dining room, virtual-novel.net realized that more lights in the house had suddenly turned on. There was only one light on when virtual-novel.net arrived downstairs…
She was mulling over virtual-novel.net confusion when Mark’s voice suddenly rang aloud from the living room, “Weren’t you full from dinner?”
