Chapter 1024 Loss Of Taste
“This one month has allowed me to completely understand what it feels like to be separated from your loved one.” Samuel’s eyes narrowed slightly as he slowly added, “Many words that I previously found to be cheesy seem to be so much easier to convey now…”
He did not utter those words half-heartedly but with unprecedented sincerity.
Contrary to him, Natalie was merely joking. However, she did not expect to receive such a serious response from him, so she could not help but feel a little surprised.
Not wanting to continue listening to his sweet nothings, she picked up some food and said, “Enough of that. Let’s eat while it’s hot.”
“Okay.”
Natalie preferred spicy food while Samuel’s taste was milder.
However, as Emma was taking care of Natalie before Samuel came along, the food Emma prepared had all the heavy flavors that Natalie preferred.
Emma had prepared pickled fish that day. No one knew what kind of spices she used, but even Natalie, who enjoyed spicy food, could not help but take a few more bites.
However, after Samuel had some of it, his visage was still pretty much bereft of emotion.
“What do you think of the fish, Samuel?” Natalie asked with a slight frown.
He narrowed his eyes. “Why do you ask?”
Natalie’s left hand clenched into a fist, but she still pretended to be calm and asked, “Don’t you think the pickled fish that Emma prepared today is quite mildly-flavored?”
Without hesitation, Samuel nodded and replied with a smile, “Yes. This fish is very bland. Maybe Emma knows I don’t like heavy-flavored food, so she made it tasteless. I’ll tell her to pay attention to the taste in the future.”
Natalie was stunned by his words.
The fish… is bland? How can it be?
She kept her eyes glued to him for a moment as if she wanted to see right through him.
Samuel couldn’t tell that I was lying, and he, a person who dislikes heavy-flavored food, had almost no reaction when he ate the pickled fish. There’s only one possibility… He has lost his sense of taste. He can’t taste anything at all!
Natalie clenched her fist tighter, and she could feel her heart aching.
