My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy)
Chapter 101 His Hickeys

"Mr. Carter, you don't have to hire so many nutritionists. I'm just 40 days pregnant. I will be fat as a pig if you keep feeding me like this!" Amy was annoyed and said frankly.

"What's wrong with that? I think pigs are cute." Hearing her complaint, Richard knew that the nutritionists had started to work.

"I... You won't understand!" Amy was even angrier.

"Then did you feel sick after eating the food they recommended today?" Richard asked her.

"No." Amy thought for a moment. It was true that she didn't vomit after eating what they prepared.

"Well. Then you should listen to the nutritionists. They are very professional. I've told them that you don't want to eat greasy food. You can't even smell it. It hasn't been long after you got pregnant, but you are too thin. You need more nutrition. I'll go back and have dinner with you tonight. OK?" Richard said gently.

It was the first time that he had been so patient to a woman. In the past, when Allison got angry, he would buy her a meal or give her a gift. He would not spend so much time talking to her.

But he was afraid that Amy would not eat anything, so he tried his best to cheer her up.

Amy thought about it and felt that Richard was right. The nutritious food had eased her morning sickness.

"Alright then." Since Richard just said that he would have dinner with her, her anger soon disappeared. She started to look forward to the evening.

Richard was relieved for she agreed. And he was happy to know that she didn't vomit this afternoon.

When Robin called and told him that she was sick, Richard was very anxious. Therefore, he stressed it when he recruited nutritionists.

There was still an hour before he could get off work. Richard sped up to read the documents and contracts. He should not work overtime today. He had to go back home and have dinner with Amy.

Time seemed to go faster at work and one hour soon passed. Richard stretched out his arms and legs. He was surprised to see how a date had improved his work efficiency. He finished reading the files within an hour.

Richard bought some snacks for Amy on his way home.

When he arrived, the dishes were already on the table. There was more food than usual because of his arrival.

Amy smiled at him when she saw Richard. They had lived together for several months, but she still felt a little uneasy because she just found that her husband was her boss.

"Mr. Carter, dinner is ready. You can wash your hands first." Seeing that Mr. Carter had come home to have dinner with his wife, Robin thought that Amy had become an important person to him.

"Alright." Richard glanced at Amy. He suddenly felt that it was nice to have someone waiting for him at home. Why didn't he notice it before?

There were two types of dishes on the table. One was for Amy and there was no oil at all, but it was very nutritious.

And the one for Richard was fried in oil.

While eating, Amy saw several red marks on Richard's neck. It seemed that someone had kissed him and left the hickeys. Richard was not with her last night. Did he go to Allison again? He didn't even cover the hickeys. She could see them so clearly. Amy lowered her head. The joy in her heart was gone due to the marks.

Richard did not know that Amy had seen the marks caused by his allergy to seafood. He just kept picking the food for her.

Amy was a bit annoyed. She felt sick when she smelled the grease in Richard's dishes.

She covered her mouth and ran into the bathroom.

Amy threw up the entire meal and felt that her stomach was empty. Someone patted her on her back gently and handed her a glass of water.

After rinsing her mouth, Amy leaned against something behind her. It was warm and comfortable.

But she still felt hungry. It was really disturbing. She would feel sick if she ate. But she would be hungry if she didn't.

There was a familiar smell. Amy knew that it was from Richard, but she didn't want to look at him. She couldn't bear to see the hickeys. When Amy went back to the table, she found that Richard's food had been taken away. There was only food for her now.

If she hadn't seen the hickeys, she would be moved by this. But now, she just felt jealous and annoyed.

After having some bites, Amy lost her appetite. She had just vomited and was too weak to eat anything.

"You should eat a little more, for your health." Richard said with concern.

"No. I'm afraid I'll throw up again." Amy started to feel dizzy.

"Let me take you upstairs." Richard walked over to hold her arm.

"It's okay. Just finish your dinner. I am fine. I can walk by myself." Amy didn't want him to see her cry. Richard didn't ask again since she insisted.

He went to see Amy later, but she was already asleep. She was pregnant and needed more rest, so Richard went to the guest room.

After he left, tears flowed down Amy's cheeks. She put one hand on her belly, thinking, 'Baby, what should I do? What should I do?'

In the following days, Richard had dinner with Amy at home every night. Moreover, the food was mainly prepared according to Amy's nutrition needs. Richard also ate the same food and the servants didn't serve greasy food again.

Occasionally, Amy would go to clean the apartment she rented. She would move in when her father returned.

Her father had almost recovered from his illness. He was under observation in France now. Amy felt sorry since she was not there when he had the operation.

When her father returned, she would spend more time with him and help him to improve his health. Amy knew that she could always rely on her father.

"Amy, I will come back the day after tomorrow. I'm finally going home!" Stephen called Amy. He was happy because the operation was very successful. And he could take care of his daughter when he recovered.00
