“Hahaha! Tastes exactly like it did when you were a kid, doesn’t it?” Warner burst into booming laughter at her reaction, “You little rascal. You used to always trick me into eating these, swearing they were perfectly sweet. Every time I fell for it, it was so sour I thought my teeth were
going to melt right out of my skull!”
The aggressive, mouth-puckering sourness dominated her taste buds, masking the faintest, almost negligible trace of sugar.
Nathalie squeezed her eyes shut, waiting for the intense tartness to fade before glaring playfully at Warner. Her fingers trembled slightly as she typed on her phone, “You’ve been holding onto that grudge for this long?” Warner sighed dramatically. “Of course I have! You tricked me every single time you visited. I swore I’d get you back eventually. Have you completely forgotten?”
Nathalie actually had forgotten. She stared at the half-eaten crabapple in her hand, severely regretting her life choices.
Warner chuckled warmly. “Alright, alright, if you don’t like it, just toss it.”
He then turned his attention to Leda. “Madam, honestly, if this tree produces fruit this bitter, why keep it around? We might as well chop it down and plant something new.”
Settling comfortably into the plush sofa, Leda waved a dismissive hand. “Absolutely not. It might be sour, but the wine it makes is phenomenal.”
“Fair enough.”
Warner gathered the remaining fruit and placed them back in the fridge, saving them for his next batch of brewing.
“You two relax for a bit, dinner will be ready soon.”
Nathalie stubbornly forced down the rest of the tart apple. Strangely

Smiling, she tapped on her screen and showed the text to Leda. “With Warner here to entertain you every day, I can definitely leave you here without worrying.”
Leda nodded in agreement. “It’s true. Us two old fossils relying on each other. It’s a good life.”
Despite her words, a faint trace of sorrow still lingered in her eyes.
Nathalie’s expression sobered. She quickly typed, “Now that you’re home, please just focus on yourself. Don’t waste your energy dwelling on Cabinda anymore. You’ve earned the right to just enjoy your life in peace.”
“I will. I promise.”
Leda offered a gentle, reassuring smile.
Dinner was an absolute feast. Warner proudly brought out a bottle of his homemade fruit wine and poured everyone a glass.
When he reached Nathalie, he paused, the bottle hovering mid-air. “Wait, Ms. Nathalie, you aren’t expecting, are you?”
Nathalie froze, then immediately shook her head.
Warner set the glass down in front of her but couldn’t help pressing the issue. “You’ve been married for quite a while now. How is there still no baby? Are you sure Lance doesn’t have… issues?”
Nathalie stared at him in stunned silence.
