In the middle of the night, Kara woke up while smelling a faint fragrance and saw a tall figure sitting on the edge of the bed. Her vision was blurred and she was frightened to sit up and shrink back.
James, who was sitting at the bedside, frowned and looked at her coldly.
Kara opened her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the man’s handsome face.
She had a nightmare just now. In the nightmare, she went back to the bright dungeon of the laboratory. There was no day or night, and the bright light made her eyes painful.
“Are you scared?”
James’ voice was low and cold, like the night.
Kara shook her head, moved close to him, and hugged him like a child.
“James, I’m cold.”
James touched her forehead. The temperature was normal. Then he touched her arm. It was normal, but he felt a little strange when she said it was cold.
“Why are you cold?”
When he spoke, he still covered her with the quilt and picked her up.
“It’s not cold now.”
Because when he held her, she felt a sense of security as he gave her warmth.
Suddenly, she saw something on the bedside table and moved her nose.
“James, did you bring me something delicious?”
James hooked her nose, hugged her, and let her sit on his lap. Then he brought the food he bought.
“Wow, it smells better than the soup for dinner.”
Bang!
James’ hand shook and what he bought spilled out. His expression suddenly changed and his brown eyes stirred up waves.
“Did you drink the soup?”
That soup was forbidden for pregnant women!
“Yes, I drank a little. Oh, I didn’t eat the crab tonight because I felt it was fishy. But I ate some fish wings, and the most terrible thing was the duck. They say it’s delicious, but I don’t think so.” Kara chatted with him casually.
Fish wings and ducks were something that pregnant women shouldn’t eat!
James’ face darkened. He put down the lunch box, picked her up, and gently touched her belly with his trembling fingers.
“Kara, are you okay?”
“I’m okay.”
Kara was confused.
James withdrew his hand as if his neck was pinched. He felt it was difficult to breathe for a moment, and his eyes were like a cold knife staring at her.
Kara was frightened by his imposing manner. She wanted to touch him, but he shook her off.
“James, what did I do wrong?”
No, she didn’t do anything wrong.
It was his fault that he didn’t tell her about her pregnancy, so she was not prepared at all.
He restrained his emotions, and hatred was surging in his brown eyes.
He turned around and glanced at the coffee table. He had just come back with food for her. Then he went straight to bed. There was a fruit plate on the table.
On the fruit plate, there were two kinds of fruits that pregnant women should try not to eat.
“Have you eaten those things?”
The man’s hoarse and trembling voice made Kara even more confused.
Following his fingers, she looked at the fruit plate on the table and shook her head. “I think it is fresh. I…”
“Stupid!”
Suddenly, he shouted coldly, which was like ice piercing her eardrum. Kara shrank back in horror and stared at him in horror.
“Kara, why are you so greedy for food?”
He was so angry that he cursed in a low voice. He didn’t know if he was angry with her because she ate that or because he didn’t protect her well.
Kara’s brain went blank. There was only one thought in her mind that was James called her full name.
He would only call her full name when he was angry.
But what mistake did she make?
Oh, yes, he disliked her for eating a lot.
Yes, she was greedy. She even asked for milk candy when he didn’t have money. How unreasonable she was.
“I’m sorry. I won’t be greedy in the future.”
Hearing the woman’s terrified voice, James clenched his fists. He knew that he had gone too far just now.
“Kara, I didn’t mean to blame you. I just…”
Kara looked at him. She was not interested in what he was going to say next.
There was only one terrible thought in her mind.
Did James dislike her because she was not independent enough, clingy, and greedy?
That was right. She was lazy and greedy, and she had a weak body. She needed him to take care of her from time to time.
“Kara.” Seeing that the woman was scared by him, James felt very sorry for her and held her little face.
He finally gave up talking about her pregnancy.
If she couldn’t keep the baby, she would feel worse after knowing it, so he couldn’t tell her about it.
“James, don’t dislike me, okay? I will be obedient and take good care of myself in the future. I won’t let you worry about me,” she pleaded.
She lived in someone else’s villa in a foreign country. She was afraid of making trouble for him, so she didn’t dare to go out. The only thing she could expect was that he would come back soon.
She knew it was useless, but she had no choice.
Her body was out of control. If she walked too fast now, she would feel terrible in her stomach.
She was good at nothing except drawing.
Therefore, she was his burden.
“Kara, you can’t eat anything else except what I give you in the future, okay?” He said to her calmly.
Kara nodded obediently, holding the sheet with her little hand.
“Tell me immediately if you feel sick.”
“Okay,”
“Do you want more of what I buy?”
Kara looked up at him cautiously.
She threw up all the food she had for dinner. She didn’t touch any fruit on the coffee table because she sensed Valerie’s strange behavior.
She was starving, but she didn’t dare to say anything.
Finally, she shook her head with a flattering smile.
“Are you sure?”
James knew that it was his tone that scared her, so he felt a little sorry. He opened the box and took a bite first.
Kara stared at him and swallowed, but she still gritted her teeth and didn’t say anything.
“Well, if you want to eat, just kiss me.”
He glanced at the spoon in his hand.
She looked up at him and lowered her head to look at her fingers. After struggling for a while, she raised her head and kissed him on the face. Then she stared at the food in the spoon.
James was rendered speechless
She looked so cute when she was confused. James raised the corners of his mouth and put the food into her mouth.
He saw her happily squinting her eyes. It seemed that what she ate was so delicious.
Kara finished the food and felt much better.
James tidied up the room and poured some water for her to rinse her mouth.
He was getting more and more skillful at serving her. Sometimes he even felt surprised by himself.
When she fell asleep, James raised his head and stared at the fruit plate on the coffee table. His cold eyes narrowed and there was a murderous look in his brown eyes.
How dare they plot against Kara and his child when he was away?
They would pay the price!
