"Mr. Carter, you don't have to hire so many nutritionists. I'm just 40 days pregnant. I will be fat as a pig if you keep feeding me like this!" Amy was annoyed and said frankly.
"What's wrong with that? I think pigs are cute." Hearing her complaint, Richard knew that the nutritionists had started to work.
"I... You won’t understand!" Amy was even angrier.
"Then did you feel sick after eating the food they recommended today?" Richard asked her.
"No." Amy thought for a moment. It was true that she didn't vomit after eating what they prepared.
"Well. Then you should listen to the nutritionists. They are very professional. I've told them that you don't want to eat greasy food. You can't even smell it. It hasn't been long after you got pregnant, but you are too thin. You need more nutrition. I'll go back and have dinner with you tonight. OK?" Richard said gently.
It was the first time that he had been so patient to a woman. In the past, when Allison got angry, he would buy her a meal or give her a gift. He would not spend so much time talking to her.
But he was afraid that Amy would not eat anything, so he tried his best to cheer her up.
Amy thought about it and felt that Richard was right. The nutritious food had eased her morning sickness.
"Alright then." Since Richard just said that he would have dinner with her, her anger soon disappeared. She started to look forward to the evening.
Richard was relieved for she agreed. And he was happy to know that she didn't vomit this afternoon.
When Robin called and told him that she was sick, Richard was very anxious. Therefore, he stressed it when he recruited nutritionists.
There was still an hour before he could get off work. Richard sped up to read the documents and contracts. He should not work overtime today. He had to go back home and have dinner with Amy.
Time seemed to go faster at work and one hour soon passed. Richard stretched out his arms and legs. He was surprised to see how a date had improved his work efficiency. He finished reading the files within an hour.
Richard bought some snacks for Amy on his way home.
When he arrived, the dishes were already on the table. There was more food than usual because of his arrival.
Amy smiled at him when she saw Richard. They had lived together for several months, but she still felt a little uneasy because she just found that her husband was her boss.
"Mr. Carter, dinner is ready. You can wash your hands first." Seeing that Mr. Carter had come home to have dinner with his wife, Robin thought that Amy had become an important person to him.
"Alright." Richard glanced at Amy. He suddenly felt that it was nice to have someone waiting for him at home. Why didn't he notice it before?
There were two types of dishes on the table. One was for Amy and there was no oil at all, but it was very nutritious.
And the one for Richard was fried in oil.
While eating, Amy saw several red marks on Richard's neck. It seemed that someone had kissed him and left the hickeys.
