"Wahhhhhhhh The food is here!!!" Selina clapped excitedly. Looking at the joyful expression on her face, Jason couldn't help but compare her to the little girl at the table next to them. He chuckled, carefully extracting the lobster meat out of the lobster shell and placed it on her plate.
"Here. Eat it slowly while I get the rest of the lobster meat out for you." Jason passed the plate of large pieces of lobster meat to her. Selina licked her lips at the sight of her favorite lobster meal in front of her. Holding a fork in one hand and a slice of lemon on the other, she announced her decision to begin dining.
"Thank you, hubby! Then, I shall dig in!" She nearly danced out of her chair when she said these words.
"You're welcome, honey. Nobody is fighting with you, so eat slowly." He kindly reminded her before focusing on the lobster on his plate. Although he also liked seafood, he would always make sure to feed her first.
"En!" Squeezing the lemon slice between her thumb and index finger, Selina watched as the freshly squeezed lemon juice dissolve into her lobster meat. She bit her lower lip in the process, gulped before stabbing a large piece of lobster meat and stuffed it into her mouth.
"It tastes so good! Lemon is perfect with seafood! You should eat it too. Don't just get the meat out for me. We need to enjoy the food together." The moment she stuffed the juicy lobster meat into her mouth, she let out a relieved hum.
After taking the first bite, she quickly stabbed another piece of lobster and brought it to Jason's lips. "Ahhh. Try it." She suggested. Jason opened his mouth under her expectant stare and devoured the fresh meat.
"It's good." He smiled at his wife, who could smile over the simplest things.
"I know right!" She picked up another slice of lemon and added another layer of juice onto her lobster meat.
"Honey, I remember you rarely use lemon. You love eating oysters and would always use the lemon and sauce for it, but lobsters is different. Don't you find your appetite changing recently? You used to eat more, but now you eat according to your cravings. Even your milk tea preferences changed too." He pointed out the changes he had noticed for a short while.
"Mmm...You're right, but I think it is my hormones being imbalanced or something." She answered while eyeing the other dishes on the table. As she scavenger hunted for her next seafood prey, she continued answering his questions.
After talking to him for a few more minutes, she found his gaze lowering to her abdomen. Almost immediately, she understood what his gaze meant. He was speculating whether she was pregnant!
"Hubby, I'm not pregnant. I just got my period this morning. It is probably my hormones. Just like how I get a few pimples here and there during my menstrual period, my cravings differ during my period too. I tend to like sweets around my period and ice cream. Plus, I bled this morning. My period was late for a few days, but it is normal for girls." She smiled at him before filling his plate up with his favorite dishes.
"Mm. Okay. But if you feel any discomfort, don't keep it to yourself. I know how bad your menstrual cramps could get. Anyway, let's continue eating. Order more for takeout if you really like eating these dishes. It's been more than a week since you've eaten this much."
After hearing her explanation, he realized he may be overthinking. However, this does not lessen his concern for his wife during her menstrual cycle. He quickly made a reminder note to boil brown sugar ginger water for her when they get home tonight on his phone.
After having dinner, Selina and Jason went straight home. By the time Jason parked his car in the garage, he realized Selina had long fallen asleep. Seeing how comfortable she was, he didn't have the heart to wake her up.
He carefully unbuckled his seatbelt, exited the car and attempted to help her out of the vehicle without waking her up. Unfortunately, the moment his hands slipped under her knee and behind her back, she woke up.
In a daze, she once again observed her surrounding. Seeing her husband's face being so close to hers, she blinked. "Oh.. we're back. Hubby, hug. I'm too tired to walk. Carry me into the house." She effortlessly said as she hooked her arms around his neck intimately and found a comfortable spot to place her head.
"Pfft, I was about to carry you in anyway. Continue sleeping if you are tired. I'll wake you up later to wash up." He chuckled as she lazily rubbed her head against his chest with her eyes closed again.
Smiling, he pursed his lips and gave her a smooch on the forehead. "Sleepy head." He whispered lowly, but the person in his arms was already fast asleep.
After tucking her in bed, he went downstairs and started preparing the brown sugar ginger water for Selina. When the freshly brewed water was done, he turned off the stove and went upstairs to wake her up.
"Selina? It's time to wake up. Go take a quick shower and come down for some brown sugar ginger water before you continue sleeping." Jason gently patted the thick blanket on top of her.
"Selina~" He called out to her once again, but his efforts were in vain. She was sleeping so soundly that even an earthquake wouldn't affect her sleep.
After attempting to wake her up a few times, he gave up. Instead, he tucked her in and gave her a light kiss on her forehead. "Good night."
