The tall man with the soft voice said he wanted her to accompany him.
Violet pursed her lips, and inexplicably her heart rippled.
She sat down as she was told and watched him eat gracefully as her mind flashed back to the married life she once had with him.
It was short, but evocative.
I didn't expect to be back in the family again after only a few months.
Will they last this time?
"You're not hungry? Would you like some?"
Louis asked as he gave her a look.
"No need."
Violet looked back at the soft, handsome face of the man in the light and shook her head.
"Not hungry?"
"Not hungry."
"It's also true that you shouldn't get hungry that easily in early pregnancy."
Louis spoke up.
Violet looked at him and casually said, "You know quite a lot?"
"Well, look it up online."
Louis copied the noodles and returned in a light voice.
He's quite thoughtful.
Violet curled her lips and heard him say again, "Is the pregnancy sickness bad?"
"It's okay."
"Have the usual tastes changed?"
"A little bit of it, I've been enjoying the sour stuff more lately."
One question and one answer, Louis listened carefully.
He finished the last bite of noodles and elegantly wiped the corner of his mouth, "Sour child."
Violet: ""
He still believes in it!
Under the light, the man's features are deep and handsome.
The filmy lips carry a brimming glow that makes you want to pick them.
This moment of the man is inexplicably heartwarming.
She knew that it was not because of his outward condition, but his having a heart.
He was trying desperately to prove to her that he would be a good husband and a good father.
