“Are you not eating anything?”
Little by little, Melissa began to bring out the things she had been struggling with since morning.
“This is the first time I realized that even water can smell fishy.”
“…Hm?”
“I lifted a glass to drink water, but it was so disgusting that I couldn’t even keep it in my mouth. Not only that, but the salad I normally eat smells fishy…”
To sum up Melissa’s story, it was that no matter what she put in her mouth, she couldn’t eat it because the fishy smell was so disgusting.
Ian was in trouble. Since she was pregnant, she needed to eat well and rest well, but things were wrong from the very beginning, so what should he do?
“What do you want to eat?”
“…Huh?”
“Is there anything you want to eat?”
“…….”
Melissa had never been picky about food. Since her life had been one where she did not have the option of being able to pick and eat, she was content with just having something to eat.
Ian then asked her what she would like to eat.
Her dense eyelashes fluttered like butterflies as she felt strangely impressed. The eyelids that blinked slowly disappeared for a moment and then rose up.
The purple eyes that faced Ian again were shining brightly. Like when she was waiting for him.
“…I want to eat raspberries.”
“Is that okay?”
“Not the ones sold at the market. It’s really a tiny raspberry that grows deep in the mountains.”
“Hmm.”
“When we lived in the mountains, Mother often picked them for me. Back then, raspberries couldn’t be more delicious.”
“…Wait.
Ian shook the silver bell on the nightstand. Henry came in quickly.
“Henry, are there any raspberries in the mansion?”
“Yes, of course.”
“For now, bring everything you have and bring some other fruits as well.”
“Understood.”
After Henry left the bedroom, Melissa spoke up.
“Raspberries are enough.”
“If you see it, you might want to eat it. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me right away. I can get what you want.”
“…Yes.”
He only thought about what the maid recommended, but there was this method. He thought she was stuck and couldn’t eat anything, but it seems that wasn’t the case.
Melissa looked up at him, whose eyes were sparkling again. Ian also looked down gently.
There was one more thing Ian was worried about recently, and that was his desire for the pregnant omega. He once heard that when a woman becomes pregnant, they’d be even more beautiful.
Other alphas said that the difference was much more noticeable especially for omegas. Of course, including the vulgar content.
At the time, he ignored those alphas, but he ended up agreeing with what they said about half of the time.
The soft lines of her face, the curves of her body, and even her chest as she prepares to become a mother.
She looked fresh and sweet to the point that he wanted to take a bite—and if he did, it’s like pulp would explode in his mouth. Ian stared at her with eyes that unconsciously revealed his desire.
As the pheromones became more concentrated, as if in sync with his feelings, a blush formed on Melissa’s cheeks. As the atmosphere became tense, there was a loud knocking sound.
“Pardon me!”
Henry quickly brought out different types of fruit. Among them, raspberries were the most abundant, and the berries were plentiful.
Ian stood up, hiding his regret, and received the plate from Henry.
“Would you like to try raspberries first?”
“…Yes.”
Just now, she couldn’t even drink a glass of water because of the fishy smell, but when she saw the raspberries, her appetite whetted and her eyes lit up.
Ian smiled briefly as he looked at her sparkling eyes. He poked the raspberry with a fork and fed her personally.
Her small mouth slightly opened and she inhaled the raspberry. Ian asked, his eyes fixed on her moving mouth.
“How is it?”
“Mm, it’s delicious.”
“Then, eat all the raspberries first.”
“Yes, mmh.”
As soon as Melissa got the food in her mouth, she felt like she could survive. Of course, it wasn’t the smaller, more tart raspberry she was expecting, but she managed to like it.
When she ate raspberries, it reminded her of her late mother. Maybe it was because she was pregnant, her mother seemed to come to mind all of a sudden.
“Henry, please buy more raspberries.”
“Understood.”
“Hmm, no. Just proceed as is and have someone collect it.”
“Yes.”
“I’m glad it suits your taste.”
Ian said as he put each item into Melissa’s mouth again. He glanced at the fruit on another plate, one by one, and then asked vaguely.
“Would you like to try some other fruits?”
Melissa, already satisfied with the raspberries, thought for a moment and nodded. When Ian held out the plate with the raspberries missing, Henry quickly handed him another plate.
He took a strawberry from all the fruits and brought them one by one to her mouth.
“Hmm…”
Melissa didn’t put it in her mouth right away, but sniffed it first. It seemed like she didn’t like it, as she chewed it slowly, unlike when she ate raspberries.
“Are regular strawberries not good?”
“I don’t think it’s to the point where I can’t eat it. First of all, there is no fishy smell.”
“Then, you can eat this too…”
Ian looked at the plate and chose the fruit to eat next. Not only Melissa but also Henry looked at his behavior, which was completely unthinkable in the past, as if they were seeing a strange sight.
“What about bananas?”
He pricked a small piece of yellow flesh with a fork and brought it to Melissa’s mouth. Melissa pursed her lips, sniffed her nose a few times, then turned her head away.
“Does it smell fishy?”
“…Ugh, that’s too much.”
“Huu, then…”
Ian was momentarily taken aback by her seemingly distressed appearance. As if representing his thoughts, the fork hovered over the plate and struck a kiwi.
“Let’s just check the kiwi and do the rest later.”
“Yes…”
Melissa sniffed the kiwi with a strained expression and then took a small bite. It may have been less ripe, but it was very sour, but it was still edible.
No, rather, it was the sour taste she wanted.
“it is delicious!”
A relieved Ian said to Henry.
“Bring more kiwis.”
“Yes, Young Lord!”
Melissa said to Ian as Henry left the room and tried to put the plate away.
“I want to try something else.”
“…You just had a hard time. For now, just eat raspberries and kiwi and check the others later.”
“But it would be nice to do it while you brought it to me. Please give me the plate for a second.”
The banana was a bit much, but once she found the kiwi to be alright, Melissa became more confident. She was trying to choose something edible from the plate that was brought, but as soon as the plate was near, she jumped out of bed.
“Mel!”
“Ugh, the smell of the watermelon is so strong. Uuhpp.”
