"Why are you staring at me like that?" Lisa asked as he put some vegetables in Jennie's bowl. "Eat and stop staring at me like I'm food." He added.

"You are food." Jennie rested her elbow on the table and propped her chin on her palm. She smiled. "Just not the edible type. But still enough to satisfy me."

Lisa smiled. He shook his head inwardly. "You think you can stop me from feeding you vegetables by using these compliments?" he lifted an eyebrow. "Eat. You need this."

"You know me so well." Jennie pouted. "It's soggy." For some reason, after getting pregnant, Jennie is not very interested on eating vegetables.

"It is healthy." He fired back before he took one slice of bitter gourd and held it towards Jennie's mouth. "It's packed with minerals and vitamins like iron and potassium. This is perfect for the healthy development of you and our child.

"What is that?" she eyed the green vegetable.

"Bitter gourd."

"So... it's bitter?"

"Hmmm." He nodded. "But as I said... you need this."

"Just add some meat on top of that."

Lisa instantly complied. He especially asked Chef Yang to make healthy food for Jennie and their child.

"This - This is - What kind of vegetable is this?" Her eyes widened. "Is this raw?" Jennie swallowed the vegetable without chewing them. She instantly grabbed her milk tea and started drinking as if her life depended on it. "What is that?"

"Another one." Lisa ignored Jennie's overdramatic reaction as he got another slice. This time, he used a spoon and added a lot of meat on top of the vegetable.

Jennie instantly widened her eyes. "Are you trying to make me faint?" she asked. "This... this vegetable is really weird."

"Well... it's healthy."

"Still! It's weird. It's husky and its weird!" She frowned. Seeing Jennie pout like a child, Lisa chuckled.

"I sincerely thought that you will like it."

"I don't have weird tastes." She answered.

"Really?" He lifted an eyebrow as he met her eyes. As expected, Jennie's frowned disappeared. A smile tugged her lips.

"You are different."

Another low chuckle escaped his lips as he opened another food container and started peeling the shrimps that were inside it. Seeing this, Jennie pursed her lips. She tried to stop the glee from showing in her face. It was futile.

Lisa's warmth is contagious. His affectionate behavior is enough to melt Jennie into a puddle of messy hormones. Jennie felt butterflies tugged her stomach as her gaze landed at his bobbing Adam's apple. She swallowed her saliva, frustration slowly overtook her. Their doctor said that they are not allowed to have intercourse as of the moment because of the nature of her pregnancy.

Isn't this... unfair? Jennie bit her lips and turned her gaze away from her husband. Every night... every single night Jennie had been fighting against her urges to ravage her husband. She is trying her best to avoid looking at his luscious lips, and his chest, and his sculpted biceps. She is doing this for their child, she chanted inwardly.

She really should stop thinking about matters like this in broad daylight. Jennie scolded herself inwardly. But can someone really blame her? They just got married, alright? It is only right that she should think about these things.
