Chapter 55
"I—I can't believe you don't love me anymore!" Tanin hiccupped between sobs. "All I wanted was some noodles with marshmallows and a sprinkle of potato chips! Is that too much to ask?!"
Lyra and Antara exchanged panicked looks, silently pleading with Damian to do something.
Damian, utterly baffled and terrified of his wife's emotional outburst, grabbed his phone and frantically dialed the hospital doctor. "I—I think something's wrong with my wife," he stammered. "She's crying over noodles."
The doctor, clearly used to dealing with panicked husbands, sighed on the other end. "Mr. Damian, it's perfectly normal. Pregnancy cravings and mood swings can be... unpredictable. Just give her what she wants."
"But—but anchovies and marshmallows?" Damian repeated, bewildered.
"Yes," the doctor replied. "Even that. The key is to keep her happy."
Damian hung up and turned to the two women. "Well, you heard the doctor."
