Chapter 850 It’s Sour to the Point Where I Thought You Wanted to Murder Your Husband

A month later, the temperature gradually dipped as the entire Highside seemed to be welcoming winter solstice.

The fallen leaves covered the entire street. The light breeze and drizzle brought an air of coldness.

The renovation of the new studio was also progressing at an accelerated pace. If everything went according to plan, they would be able to move in by the end of this month at the latest.

Perhaps due to the drop in temperature, Leanna had been feeling dizzy and nauseous these past few days. Overall, her mental state was not very good.

It wasn't serious enough to be considered a cold, so she didn't want to take medicine. She didn't have much of an appetite and felt weak all over.

Zoe had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she went to Leanna's office. She was snacking on the couch. "Nana, have you noticed that this winter doesn't seem to be very cold?"

Leanna was drawing. "It does seem that way, but it could also be because it's still the beginning of the season yet."

Zoe said, "Yeah, the medicine the doctor prescribed is quite effective. I stopped taking it for a while and I feel energetic everywhere. Even my mother said her leg hasn't hurt anymore. This peppermint candy is so sour."

She stopped halfway through her sentence and spit out a green plum from her mouth. Her face

scrunched up.

Leanna turned her head and looked at the few remaining green plums on her desk. "Is it sour? I think it's fine."

Zoe quickly ate something else to ease the taste, but she was still trembling. "I feel like my teeth are going to fall out. I can't take it."

Leanna put down her paintbrush and walked over to take out a plum from the bag in front of Zoe.

It really wasn't that sour for Leanna.

Zoe could feel her teeth tingling with sourness upon watching Leanna swallow it so calmly. Zoe ate a piece of chocolate, humming. The intense sweetness made her cover her cheek. "It could be because of my teeth. I gotta go to the dentist."

Leanna also took a piece of chocolate and ate it. After a moment of silence, she said, "I don't think it's a problem with your teeth. This one is really too sweet."

Even she couldn't eat something that sweet. She bent over and spat it into the trash can.

Zoe looked at the brand of the chocolate and threw it aside. "I won't buy this anymore. It's getting sweeter and sweeter as if sugar is free."

When Leanna went home in the evening, she passed by a convenience store downstairs. After a moment of hesitation, she went in to buy a few bags of green plums.

She seemed to be addicted to them.

Considering her lack of appetite, Aidan didn't return home for dinner. Languidly, she prepared some fruits and yogurt. Later, she continued finishing her design.

Unknowingly, she was finishing the freshly bought green plums.

When Aidan came back, she was sitting cross-legged on the couch while resting her chin on her palm. She was deeply immersed in her musing.

He took a seat on the couch, glancing at the fruit plate. "Is this all you had for dinner?"

Leanna had a green plum in her mouth and mumbled, "I'm not that hungry."

"What did you have for lunch?"

"I had fish and chips with Zoe." Leanna gazed at him. "Have you eaten? If not, I can make something for you."

Aidan responded with an undertone, "I've eaten."

Leanna spat out the plum pit from her mouth before opening another bag of green plums. When she looked up, she noticed Aidan had been silently watching her.

She assumed that he wanted to eat it, so she generously offered him some. He raised an eyebrow before eating it. Then, he fell silent.

Leanna could visibly see his expression change several times. His eyebrows furrowed slightly and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down. Even the veins on his neck became more prominent.

She spoke softly. "Doesn't it taste good? I don't feel anything. Zoe also said it was sour, and I thought it was just a matter of preference."

Aidan retorted, "It's sour to the point where I thought you wanted to murder your husband."

Leanna found it funny and opened another bag for herself. "There are only a few left, so I won't give you any."

He drank some water to stave the sourness off. "Still not going to bed?"

She suggested, "You should go take a shower first. I still have a bit more to finish before I sleep."

Seeing her pick up another green plum, Aidan said, "Eat less of those. Be careful of toothaches."

Leanna responded, "I know. Take a shower, quick."

Aidan leaned toward her and kissed her on the corner of her lips before heading to the bathroom.

There was a faint sour taste on her lips, but it was accompanied by a smidgen of sweetness.

By the time she finished revising the design, there were only a few green plums left on the table.

No wonder she hadn't had much of an appetite these past few days. It was probably because she had

eaten too many snacks.

The sudden slight pain in her teeth reminded her to brush her teeth. When Leanna entered the bathroom, Aidan had just put on his pajamas.

He raised an eyebrow. "If I had known you were in such a hurry, I wouldn't have put them on."

She pushed him out. "You can go to sleep after you finish showering. I need to brush my teeth."

Fearing the thought of having toothaches, Leanna brushed her teeth twice until the sourness in her gums disappeared. She rinsed her mouth and washed her face.

In bed, he hugged her waist while resting his chin on her forehead. "Why do I feel like you've lost weight again recently?"

Leanna said, "I don't think so..."

She hadn't been able to eat as much as usual recently.

He inquired, "Are you still taking the medicine that Waylen gave you?"

Leanna softly hummed in response.

"Don't take it anymore. Medicine can harm your body."

Leanna didn't say anything. She had been taking it for a few months but she still hadn't gotten pregnant.

Maybe taking a break would help her calm down. She could continue the medication later. After a while, she finally spoke up. "Alright."

The next morning, when Leanna passed by the convenience store, where she looked at the green plums inside while thinking about buying them. In the end, she decided to forgo the purchase.

Taking too many of those would cause toothaches. Besides, cutting down on snacks might improve her appetite.

Today, Daphne would come to the studio to shoot promotional pictures for the new products. Leanna had just arrived at the studio when Daphne arrived.

It had been over a month since she last called Louis. It was the first time she had seen Daphne in over a month.

Daphne was obviously a bit uncomfortable meeting Leanna. She was afraid to meet Leanna's eyes as she stuttered, "W-When will we start the shoot?"

Leanna said, "Zoe went to check on the progress of the renovation at the new studio. She should be here in about half an hour."

Daphne nodded. "I'll go do my makeup first."
