Chapter 160 - Fae's Conflicting Mind

"How long have I been unconscious? You didn't do anything to me, did you?" Fae blurted to change the subject.

Ren narrowed his eyes at Fae's words. "One hour. Doctor Lehmann is out of town with his family. I forced him to come here to check your condition because I don't trust other doctors. Besides ... even if I did anything to you, what would you do?"

F*ck! Fae could only grumble inwardly when she heard that.

She looked at Ren with a sullen face. The girl didn't feel anything wrong with her body, and she knew that Ren wouldn't force her to do anything. But earlier, she had deliberately said those words to offend Ren and so he would leave her.

It didn't work. Ren even challenged her, what would she do if Ren did something to her while she passed out.

Fae bit her lip and looked away. "I didn't know you could cook."

"I can't cook," replied Ren. "This is my first time. I heard your stomach grumble and realized you fainted from hunger. I checked the refrigerator and found there is no food to eat. I was about to call the chef from this hotel, but apparently, they are holding a big banquet here, and all their chefs are very busy. I am not that heartless to force them to cancel the banquet so that the chef can come here and cook for you."

Fae's beautiful eyes went round. "It's your first time cooking? Really?"

Ren walked toward Fae and suddenly carried her in his arms. The man sat her on a chair near the kitchen counter. "Sit down here. You could pass out again if you stand there with a hungry tummy."

Fae gasped and didn't have time to resist. Suddenly, she was already sat on the chair. Ren went back to stirring the soup with a ladle. He tasted the soup, and his face looked satisfied.

"You're the first woman to taste my cooking. I've never done this for anyone but you," said Ren.

Fae rolled her eyes at her husband's words. She didn't know if Ren was honest when he said he had never cooked before.

How could she know if he was telling the truth? Ren could make excuses like this to make Fae sympathize with him and made her feel that Ren treated her special. At this point, Fae preferred to think negatively towards Ren and thought her husband was lying to win her sympathy ...

Because ...

Because, otherwise, it would be harder for Fae to leave him.

"You don't believe me?" Ren showed the cellphone he was holding. Fae saw the screen and realized Ren had been looking at recipes.

SIMPLE RECIPES FOR MEN WHO NEVER COOK

Gosh ...

Fae pushed the phone back to its owner. She tried to harden her heart. She shouldn't let Ren sway her. So what if he suddenly tried to cook for her? It's nothing special. Many men can cook for their wives too.

"Okay, I believe you. I will eat your cooking. Since this is the first time, don't blame me if I can't finish it," said the girl. "I'm not going to pretend that you cook well."

Ren stared at Fae for a long time. He realized that Fae was always trying to make him angry and he didn't understand why.

Yet he held back and was not at all angry.

"All right. The soup is almost done. Do you want to eat now? I'll get the bread and wine."

Ren treated Mischa's penthouse like his own. It really made Fae worried.

She was worried that Mischa put a camera in this penthouse and found out that Fae had not only let a stranger in, but she also had let this person use the kitchen like he was at home and then took his expensive wine.

"I don't drink wine," said Fae quickly. "I drank so much yesterday that I threw up. I'm traumatized by drinking alcohol."

She immediately prepared an excuse for why she couldn't join Ren drinking wine. She couldn't risk his pregnancy by consuming wine. Ren looked annoyed at Fae's words, but he was still not angry.

"Why did you drink so much last night? Was something bothering you?" he asked calmly.

Fae pursed her lips. "Of course, something is bothering me. I'm stressed because I was thinking about you. You keep bothering me and don't want to leave me alone."

Ren pretended not to listen to Fae. He opened a bottle of expensive wine and poured himself a glass. He then poured juice for Fae and pushed the glass in front of the girl.

"That's for you."

He then took out two bowls and poured the soup into each of them. After putting the spoon and bread on the table, he then invited Fae to eat.

"Sorry, I can only make soup for dinner this time," he said apologetically.

Fae pursed her lips, trying to hold back her emotions. She knew that Ren was trying hard to do things to win her heart so that she would return to her husband.

Come to think of it, their marriage was actually fine ... the problem was just the baby.

Should Fae be open and tell Ren that she is pregnant with their children?

How would Ren respond to it when he knew Fae was actually pregnant?

Fae was silent throughout dinner. She tried to avoid Ren's eyes who kept looking at her while she was eating her soup. However, in the end, Fae couldn't stand it any longer.

"Stop staring at me like that. I am not food." She said that because she saw the 'hungry' expression on her husband's face. However, Fae said it while looking down and stirring the soup in her bowl.

Fae can't be stared at like that. She was afraid that if she looked Ren's eyes back, she would melt.

Shit. Why was she so weak?

"Alright," Ren replied casually, but he kept stealing glances at Fae while enjoying the soup in front of him. "How's my cooking? It's not good, huh? You hardly eat it. If you get sick again, I'll stay here and take care of you. I won't let Doctor Lehmann go home, either."

When she heard Ren's words, Fae hiccuped. She hurriedly took more soup with her spoon and forced herself to eat. She couldn't let Ren stay here and take care of her!

What would her boss say?

"I'm fine," said Fae. "See, I am eating the soup, right? I'll finish this."

Fae tried so hard to force herself to scoop the soup and eat it. She also realized that she needed to stay healthy for her children.

After they finally finished eating, there was a knock on the door. Ren immediately got up from the chair and held Fae's shoulder, who was about to get up and opened the door.

"That must be Doctor Lehmann. You sit down, and I'll open the door," he said.

Fae could only murmur in protest when she saw Ren act like he was at home.

'Ren, this is somebody else's place. This is not your mansion...' Fae muttered to herself.

Secretly, she was starting to feel anxious. What if Doctor Lehmann found out about her pregnancy? Ugh .. this was really hard.
