This little evil fire had Kiara holding out until they reached the restaurant, and Mario had decided, once they got back, he would have her chant that thing while… hehe!
With this not-so-pure thought, Mario wrapped his arms around Kiara and they entered the private room.
All the dishes were served, just waiting for these two.
“What were you two doing, why took you so long?” The Second Brother of the Yuno Family was already fuming with impatience.
His son, Isaac, had been constantly hungry lately, it was the time he was growing body. How could he keep his daughter-in-law hungry?
“Just took care of some little thing— Eh, why are we having crayfish?”
Mario had thought they were in for a feast today, but to his surprise, the elaborate dining table was merely adorned with more than a dozen dishes, with the most eye-catching being the big basin of red and fragrant spicy crayfish placed at the center.
This humble plate of spicy crayfish managed to outshine the surrounding sea cucumbers and abalones. The crayfish soaked in red oil looked irresistibly appetizing.
“Isaac said he wanted to eat it, so we ordered a serving.”
The Hotel didn’t have it, a waiter had to take a taxi to the Outdoor Food Stall to buy it and bring it back.
“Why has Isaac been craving such odd food lately? You’re not pregnant, are you?” Kiara casually tossed out the question.
As soon as she said this, the whole table went silent.
Kiara herself was also taken aback after she spoke.
Eh…?!
All eyes at the table converged on Isaac’s belly, Mother Yuno’s eyes were practically glowing.
It had been a while since there was the cry of a baby in the house, could this be a happy event?
After a delay, Isaac touched his own belly, “That can’t be possible, right?”
The Second Brother was also stunned; they had taken precautions.
Although they had been legally married for several years, since Isaac had been going to school, they hadn’t had time for a wedding banquet and wanted to throw one after Isaac’s graduation when they had time.
It wouldn’t be proper for her to go to school pregnant before the banquet, and Isaac still had several years of graduate school ahead, plus aspirations for a Ph.D., so having a baby wasn’t very convenient, especially since they already had a Chloe.
Could it be… from that time?
The Second Brother and Isaac both recalled the same moment.
“No, it can’t be, it’s only been a few days…” Isaac stuttered, covering his belly.
“Oh! A few days!” Camden and Sophia exclaimed in sync, nodding at each other understandingly.
“Normally, there shouldn’t be any reaction after a few days… but just to be safe, we’ll check when we get back,” Mother Yuno wouldn’t let go of even the slightest hope, and conveniently confiscated Isaac’s Sprite.
Isaac’s eyes were on the verge of tearing up.
Eating crayfish without a Sprite, what kind of life would that be?
“To be safe, you better not drink these carbonated drinks. Kiara, you take care of this!” Mother Yuno, ever so generous, passed the Sprite to Kiara.
Kiara grinned, donned her gloves, grabbed a crayfish, and savored it with relish—all under the envious and resentful gaze of Isaac—and didn’t forget to twist the knife.
“Come on, get this ‘possibly pregnant’ lady a cup of plain water—maybe you shouldn’t eat the crayfish either, just smell it, eh?”
Isaac felt like he had been struck by lightning out of a clear sky.
No Sprite, and now no spicy crayfish?
What happened to ‘though I have nothing, I’ll share what I have with you?
What happened to ‘as close as siblings, ready to take a bullet for each other?
In the end, Kiara was sipping cola and slurping on crayfish while Isaac looked on pitifully.
When it mattered most, it turned out that his own husband was the effective one. Unable to bear seeing her like this, the Second Brother peeled a crayfish and handed the tail to her.
But this way of eating absolutely couldn’t satisfy Isaac, whose tastes had become particular. To eat crayfish right, you had to go at it with both hands—one for the flesh and one for the claws. After finishing the meat, you even needed to suck all the juice clean off the shell, licking your fingers dry. Otherwise, what’s the point of eating? You aim for that heroic posture, as if devouring mountains and rivers!
Now, because of a joke Mrs. Kiara made, eating crayfish was no longer a joyful experience, taking much fun out of life.
Second Brother couldn’t stand Isaac’s downtrodden look and wanted to peel another one, but Mother Yuno stopped him.
“Don’t eat too many spicy peppers. You’ll get heaty.”
“If I eat one more, it shouldn’t be too heaty, right?” Second Brother argued on behalf of Isaac.
“Really now, I’ve never seen such a careless expectant dad,” Mother Yuno scolded her son, but she didn’t see Isaac’s shoulders flinching.
Suddenly, the allure of the bright red crayfish was gone.
Isaac suddenly remembered.
Second Brother said he seemed not to like kids… Last time he asked him, he outright said no!
“Have another one,” Second Brother offered food to Isaac.
Isaac shook his head.
Looking at Second Brother’s usual expression, he certainly didn’t seem happy.
Then looking at Chloe on the side, she too had an ice block face…
It felt so cold inside.

Did neither father nor son like new life?
Dinner that started with anticipation had turned to sadness for Isaac. Even the red color of the crayfish soup seemed tragic, and life felt full of sorrow.
Kiara quietly took in this scene, the expressions on Second Brother and his son, and the sadness in Isaac’s eyes, all under her watch.
What kind of fate brought this peculiar man and woman together, tsk tsk tsk.
She turned to look at her own Aruo Camden, shaking her head.
“What’s up?” Mario Yuno asked as he picked up some food.
“Suddenly, you seem more appealing,” she said.
“Eh?” Camden was confused. What was happening?
A woman’s heart is as hard to fathom as a needle at the bottom of the sea.
Kiara pursed her lips. Although Camden was occasionally silly, at least he wasn’t as infuriating as Second Brother, who seemed to lack a certain sensitivity.
The most despairing thing for a woman must be a man’s lack of response, right? At least show some sort of surprised reaction. Are you happy, or are you happy? No other responses accepted.
Second Brother had always been like this, never showing his feelings openly. Didn’t his ex-wife Renee Wong divorce him partly because Second Brother never spoke up and was like a silent gourd?
Isaac was usually reserved, but not to the extent of Second Brother.
If you are really pregnant, hormone levels in the body change, leading to a different temper than before. Some expectant mothers might even experience bouts of anger and anxiety. A mother’s poor mood can directly affect the baby’s development.
So it’s crucial to keep expectant mothers happy, which is good for both the child and adults.
If that’s the case…
Kiara took off her plastic gloves used for eating the crayfish, and while elegantly wiping her hands, she nonchalantly remarked,
“Mom, when you were pregnant with the four of us, was your temper always the same?”
“Not the same. When I was pregnant with your elder brother, there wasn’t much reaction—ate and slept as usual. The twin pregnancy was more reactive; I vomited for months. Youngest Brother Yuno, that little troublemaker, you could tell he was up to no good even in my belly.”
Mario Yuno rolled his eyes, “How do you know it was me causing trouble? You had two inside there, why couldn’t it have been Amelia causing trouble?”
Just to prove he was a good kid, he’d sell out his own older sister. That look in his eyes, the shamelessness of it all.
