Chapter 425 Morning Sickness

The moment he pushed the door open, an unpleasant, acrid smell hit him. Kenny frowned but moved closer to her nonetheless.

“You okay?”

“Do I look okay?!” Zara wiped her mouth, ready to curse, but another wave of nausea hit first. “Ugh!”

“Maybe finish throwing up before scolding me.” Setting aside his discomfort, Kenny watched the usually fiery and domineering spitfire now retching miserably, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes, the rims deep red. A strange pang of guilt twisted in his chest.

No matter how materialistic Zara was, no matter how much he disliked her, right now she was suffering, and it was because of him.

He stepped closer, one hand supporting her arm the other gently rubbing her back in slow circles, his brows knitted tightly together.

“Throwing up this badly… it can’t just be because of the green peppers, can it?”

Zara didn’t speak, just shot him a look brimming with profound resentment.

Seeing that what she’d vomited was indeed mostly green peppers, Kenny felt a stab of guilt. “Yikes, alright, my bad. I admit it. I won’t make you eat them anymore.” H

added, “Next time your parents try to make you eat them, I’ll help you re

“Hmph.”

AT

ed, then

Since Kenny still had a shred of conscience left, Zara decided to let it slide for now.

But letting him off the hook entirely? Not a chance.

After rinsing her mouth and ordering Kenny to fetch her some lemon water, Zara finally started to feel better.

Noticing Kenny’s gaze fixed on her, full of guilt and concern, she languidly stretched out a hand.

Kenny reached out to support it. “Need to throw up again?”

Zara rolled her eyes so hard. Did his common sense take a permanent vacation?

“Help me to the bed. My back hurts.”

“Oh, right.” Kenny moved closer. Seeing her pale lips, an inexplicable impulse made him bend down without a word and scoop her up into a bridal carry.

Zara, who had been plotting her revenge, suddenly found herself airborne and yelped in surprise. “What are you doing?!”

“You can’t walk well. This is easier.”

“Who asked you to carry me?! What if you drop me?!”

In all her life, only Darius had carried her like this when she was very young. Once she got bigger, he couldn’t manage it anymore. Experiencing this suspended feeling for the first time, Zara clung tightly to Kenny’s neck in her nervousness, her arms instinctively seeking security, nearly pulling his head against her chest.

A faint, sweet fragrance wafted into his nostrils. Kenny’s face instantly flushed bright red. He hardly dared to breathe, stiffly and hastily carrying her from the bathroom to the bed outside.

When he set her down, his movements were less than gentle, almost making Zara fall. She kicked him irritably. “What’s wrong with you? So clumsy!”

Kenny stammered, only managing to squeeze out a “Sorry.”

It was his first time carrying a woman. He had no experience!

Luckily the bed was soft enough to cushion the landing.

He stood awkwardly by the bedside, not daring to look directly at her for fear she’d notice his

unease.

“Ahem, well… you should take a nap. I’ll go—”

“Go where?” Zara lifted her chin, issuing a command with leisurely authority. “My chest feels tight right now, I might not even be able to sleep. You need to solve my naptime problem.”

Solve what?!

Kenny’s eyes widened. “How am I supposed to do that?”

Zara’s large, lively eyes rolled. “Never heard of helping someone sleep? If you don’t know how, ask an AI. Isn’t your brother’s Chubby pretty smart? Ask him if he can get you one too.”

Thoroughly defeated, Kenny slumped into the beanbag chair and began searching on his phone. After considerable deliberation, he decided to read her tax code regulations – widely recognized online as the most sleep–inducing material, with a drowsiness rate of 78.9%.

Kenny’s eyes lit up. Tax documents always made him sleepy – Zara wouldn’t stand a chance!

“Tax code?” Zara actually seemed intrigued, patting her pillow as she settled in. “Begin.”

Kenny cleared his throat. “If a taxpayer receives both W–2 and 1099 income, how should they calculate their estimated quarterly tax payments to avoid underpayment penalties while maximizing cash flow throughout the fiscal year”
