Chapter 850


    One monthter, the temperature gradually dropped. It was the early winter in City N.


    The fallen ginkgo leaves covered the whole street. With the wind and drizzling, it brought a chill.


    The modeling of the new studio was ongoing. ording to their original n, they could move in by the


    end of this month.


    Probably it was because of the temperature drop. Ste had been feeling dizzy and sickened in the


    past few days. She was pretty spiritless.


    It didn’t feel so serious as having a cold. Hence, she didn’t want to take any medicine.


    However, she had no appetite, feeling weakened.


    Sherry was idle in one afternoon, so she went to Ste’s office, eating snacks while nestling on the


    sofa. “Ste, have you noticed this winter isn’t cold?” she asked while munching.


    Ste lowered her head to draw the draft. “It seems so, but this isn’t the coldest period of time.”


    Sherry said, “Right. The doctor’s medicine works. I’ve stopped taking it for a while, but I still feel


    spirited. My mother also said her legs didn''t ache anymore... Gee... This plum is too sour.”


    While she spoke, she spat a green plum with a frown.


    Ste looked back at her and then look at the plums on her desk. “Is it sour? I think it’s just all right.”


    Sherry immediately pressed some food into her mouth to get rid of the sourness. While shivering, she


    said, “My teeth ache because of it. It’s too sour.”


    Ste put her pen and walked over. Then she took out a plum from the bag in front of Sherry and put it


    into her mouth.


    She thought it was just OK, not sour at all.


    Seeing that she looked so calm while having it, Sherry swallowed her saliva.


    She took a piece of chocte, but her teeth ached again because of the sweetness. Covering her


    cheek, she said, “There must be something wrong with my teeth. I need to see a dentist recently.”


    Ste also pulled out a piece of chocte and took a bite. After a few seconds of silence, she said, “It’s


    not your tooth problem. This chocte is way too sweet.”


    She couldn’t even swallow it. Being it over, she spat it into the trash can.


    Sherry checked the chocte brand and tossed it away. “I won’t buy this anymore. It’s getting sweeter


    and sweeter.”


    On the way back home in the evening, Ste passed by the convenience store downstairs. She


    hesitated for a while but still bought a few bags of green plums.


    She seemed to be addicted to this fruit recently.


    Since she didn’t have much appetite and rence wouldn’te home for dinner, Ste ate some fruit


    and yogurt before continuing to work on the draft on the tea table.


    Unconsciously, she finished the green plums.


    When rence came home, she was sitting in front of the sofa with her legs crossed. Her chin was


    pressed on the pen. She tilted her head, lost in thought.


    He walked over, sat on the sofa, and nced through the fruit te on the tea table. “Did you have this


    for dinner?” he asked.


    Ste munching the green plums and muffled, “I was not hungry.”


    “What did you have for lunch?”


    “I went to have steamed rice in a y pot with Sherry.” As she spoke, she turned to look at him. “Have


    you had dinner? If not, I’ll cook for you.”


    rence answered in a low voice, “I’ve had it.”


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Ste turned to spat the plum kernel and opened another bag. She raised her head, only to find


    rence was looking at her in silence.


    She thought he also wanted to have one, so she generously passed the plum in front of him.


    rence raised his eyebrows, lowered his head, and ate it.


    Then he couldn’t speak at all.


    Ste could tell how his expression changed dramatically. He frowned slightly, his Adam’s apple kept


    bobbing, and blue veins popped on his neck.


    She asked in a low voice, “Don’t you like it?”


    rence spat the plum kernel. His tongue tip pressed his upper jaw in soreness. Looking at her


    sincerely, he asked friendly, “Have I done anything to offend you?”


    Ste was wordless.


    She asked, “Is it too sour? But I feel it’s just all right. Sherry also said it was sour earlier. I thought she


    just didn’t like sour food.”


    rence said, “It was so sour that I thought you aimed to kill your husband.”


    Ste was amused. She picked one for herself. “I don’t have many left. Now I don’t need to share them


    with you.”


    rence picked up the water ss from the tea table, raised his head, and gulped down to wash away


    the sourness. He asked, “Aren’t you going to bed?”


    Ste said, “Go ahead to take a shower. I still have a bit of work left. I’ll go to bed after modifying it.”


    Seeing her pick up another plum, rence said, “Don’t overeat. Your teeth will ache.”


    Ste answered, “I know. Go take a shower.”


    rence approached her, pecked her on the lips, and stood up to go to the bathroom.


    Her lips had a faint sourness but tasted sweet.


    After Ste finished modifying the draft, she almost finished all the green plums on the table.


    No wonder she had no appetite recently. She guessed probably she had eaten too many snacks.


    In a trance, she felt toothache.


    She hurried to brush her teeth.


    When Ste entered the bathroom, rence happened to put on his pajamas.


    Seeing her enter, rence raised his eyebrows. “If I had known you couldn’t wait, I wouldn’t put my


    clothes on.”


    Ste was wordless.


    She pushed him out of the bathroom. “Go to bed. I’m brushing my teeth.”


    Ste was afraid of toothache, so she brushed her teeth twice deliberately. After the sourness


    disappeared from her mouth, she rinsed and washed her face.


    When sleeping, rence wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed his chine on her forehead.


    “You seemed to have lost weight recently,” he remarked.


    Ste said, “I don’t notice it...”


    However, she indeed had a worse appetite recently.


    rence asked, “Are you still taking Archer’s medicine?”


    Ste hummed gently.


    “Stop it. All medicines are harmful.”


    Ste didn’t speak. She had been taking medicine for several months, but she was still not pregnant.


    Probably she could feel easier after stopping taking it.


    She decided to continue to take it after a certain period of time.


    After a long while, she answered, “I see.”


    The following morning, when Ste passed by the convenience store. She looked at the plums in there


    and wanted to buy some, but she gave up after a thought.


    It would cause toothache if she had too much.


    Besides, she might have a better appetite without taking snacks.


    Winnie had the n to shoot for photos of the new products. Shortly after Ste had arrived at the


    studio, she came.


    Thest time Ste called Chan, the call was answered by Winnie. This was the first time Ste met


    Winnie after that had happened more than a month ago.


    Looking at her, Winnie looked a bit uneasy. She dared not to look into Ste’s eyes and stammered,


    “When... when will the shooting start?”


    Ste said, “Sherry has gone to the new studio to check the remodeling. She’ll be back in half an hour.”


    Winnie nodded. “Okay. I’ll put on makeup first.”
