The two of them entered the house leisurely, intending to join Lucinda and Nathan for breakfast.
At noon, Lucinda was cozily nestled in Nathanâs arms, enveloped by his warm embrace.
As she watched a soap opera, he fed her a succulent and juicy tangerine.
The sweetness tantalized her taste buds, and she couldnât resist having more.
Lucinda couldnât stop eating it.
However, Nathan knew when to put a stop to her cravings.
After the third tangerine, he ceased feeding her, prompting her to pout and turn to him with a request.
âI havenât had enough.
Can you peel a few more for me?â
âNo.
Itâs too much sugar.
Pregnant women shouldnât eat too much of it.
Itâs not good for your health,â Nathan insisted, refusing to give in.
âBut I still want moreâ¦â
Lucinda hadnât been eating much lately due to her morning sickness, which caused her to throw up at the mere scent of most foods she was served, and her sense of smell was highly sensitive lately.
The fruitâs sweetness suited her taste, and she felt annoyed by Nathanâs caution.
If Nathan didnât help her peel more tangerines, she would do it herself.
Determined to have more, she stood up and reached for one on the table.
However, before her hand could grasp it, Nathan swiftly gathered all the tangerines and retreated to the kitchen without looking back.
He closed the kitchen door tightly as he reemerged.
âYouâve gone too far! I only had three tangerines today! You canât stop me! I just want to eat some fruit!â
Nathan frowned.
âIf you eat too many of them, you might feel uncomfortable tomorrow.
â
Somehow, he had developed an aversion to this fruit.
âI wonder if theyâve added an addictive component to it.
Since yesterday, youâve been completely addicted to it.
I canât let you eat more.
Iâll have all supermarkets in the nation ban tangerines tomorrow!â
Lucindaâs anger flared upon hearing his intention to ban oranges.
Pregnant with twins, she struggled with severe morning sickness, a poor appetite, and constant drowsiness.
The various pregnancy reactions left her feeling tired and helpless.
All she wanted was to enjoy a few more sweet tangerines, but Nathan wouldnât allow it.
Driven by her anger, Lucinda rushed towards Nathan, grabbing his arm tightly.
She rolled up his sleeve and bit down hard on his wrist.
âOuchâ¦â
Nathan didnât try to avoid her bite, allowing her to vent her frustration.
âIf biting me helps you feel better, go ahead.
â
Refusing to back down, she bit him even harder.
