Chapter 155 - 155 Crazy Cravings

Their first dinner in the resort was done in the same cottage where they had their lunch earlier.

Looking around the big rectangular table, Kim Eunji couldn't help but ask, "Are we going to eat here alone?"

Nathan chuckled and said, "Well, I asked them to join us but they insisted on letting us have this huge table all on our own."

"I bet you intimidated them that's why they didn't even want to join us." Kim Eunji mumbled.

"I didn't! I'm innocent here." Nathan even raised his hand to prove that he's indeed innocent.

A while later, dishes were being brought to their table.

Before the servants could even place the food on the table, Kim Eunji's face turned sour and said, "Please bring that away from me!"

"Why? What's wrong?" Nathan who felt that nothing's wrong with the food asked her.

In fact the smell was so delicious which made him hungrier even more.

Kim Eunji immediately stood up and ran away from the cottage.

"Not again." Nathan mumbled in his breath as he followed his wife who was puking non-stop on the kitchen sink.

"Feeling better?" Nathan asked as he approached her and placed his hand on top of her belly.

"Baby, let mommy to eat okay?" Nathan spoke as he gently caressed her belly.

"I'm very sorry hubby but I really can't eat anything now. You should go and eat. I'll go back to our room to rest, okay?" Kim Eunji said which for Nathan was not acceptable.

"No, you should eat even a little." Nathan paused as he thought of something.

"Tell me what do you want to eat? I mean what food are you craving for right now?" Nathan continued.

Kim Eunji then paused as she thought of something.

"Food? Honestly, the thought of those greasy and bland tasting food made me want to puke even now. But, I feel like eating a watermelon and strawberries dipped in soy sauce and chili paste." She requested.

"What?" Nathan was taken aback by her weird request.

"Wifey, are you trying to poison yourself?" Nathan blurted out.

'What type of fruit combination is that?' Nathan thought to himself.

The bigger problem was that he didn't know if they had water melon or strawberries in their backyard garden.

"No. I felt like if I eat it, I'll have a good life for the next five years." Kim Eunji seriously answered.

"So could you please bring some for me? I'm super hungry!" Kim Eunji added.

"Okay. Wait here okay?" Nathan said as he turn around and left to look for Manong Popoy.

Manong Popoy was on the kitchen talking to the female servant who was a bit upset because of what Kim Eunji did.

"What's going on?" Nathan asked as soon as he entered the cottage.

"Nothing Master Bai. Anyways, where's the Young Madame?" He asked Nathan who was scratching the back of his head.

"Oh, what happened to the Young Madame, Master Bai?" He added.

"Here's the thing Manong Popoy, my wife asked me to bring her watermelon and strawberry combo dipped with soy sauce and chili paste." Nathan truthfully said.

As soon as he finished, Manong Popoy chuckled as he said, "Poor Master Bai, welcome to the era of her crazy cravings!" He cheered as he showed his moral support.

"Seriously?" Nathan could only shook his head as he found himself being stuck in this situation.

"Do we have a watermelon and strawberry in our back garden?"

"That's the problem Master Bai, we don't have it here." Manong Popoy answered him.

"Then what should I do? She was expecting me to bring her those or else she won't be eating anything tonight.

"Then, we have no other choice but to look for it in the mainland. Hopefully there's a mall or any fruit stand which was still open where we could buy that. I really think it would be difficult to find strawberries here in the area. Strawberries grew up in cold places Master Bai. And our weather is not suitable for them."

"Then, what are we waiting here? Let's go and look for them?" Nathan urged him.

"How can we reach there as fast as we can? We have to at least sail for fifteen minutes and another half an hour to reach the supermarket." Manong Popoy asked and reminded him at the same tine.

"I have a better plan than ridding a boat Manong Popoy."

"May I know what is it, Master Bai?" He asked him.

"Flying." Nathan simply said as he pointed out towards his helipad where his chopper was parked. This chopper had brought his friend here and good thing the pilot decided to stay a little longer to enjoy the company of his friends.

"Master Bai." Seeing his hesitant reaction, Nathan knew that Manong Popoy was afraid to ride one.

"I understand. Please watch over my wife until I come back." Nathan said as he called on the captain and then the two boarded the chopper.

He just hoped that there's a helipad near the mall or else they had to look for an open field to land.

Hearing the loud noise of the engine, Kim Eunji came to check but was then stopped by Manong Popoy who told her of what was going on.

"What? I didn't ask him to go far away just to bring me those fruits." Kim Eunji said in disbelief.

"Young Madame, Master Bai have been worried since earlier today because you have no appetite. So when you asked him to bring those fruits, he didn't hesitate to take on the task and look for them if that would make you eat even a little." Manong Popoy explained.

Kim Eunji suddenly felt guilty when she heard that.

"So, please wait for a little bit as Master Bai will be back in hopefully, a short while."

Kim Eunji could only pout in response.

Then Manang Ines approached her with a hot ginger tea in her hand.

"Oh! Thank you." Kim Eunji said.

"No problem." Manang Ines responded.

"This will help with you dizziness." She added.

Manong Popoy looked proudly on his wife who took the initiative and talk to Kim Eunji.

"Oh, thank you for this." Kim Eunji felt warm by this gesture.

She then took a sip and though she didn't like the taste since it was raw and not sweetened, she forced to have a big gulp and then placed the cup beside her.

"Will he be okay?" Kim Eunji asked as she looked up at the night sky where Nathan's chopper headed to.

"He'll be." Manong Popoy told her.

Forty minutes later, they heard the sound of the chopper coming towards their direction.

Kim Eunji immediately made her way towards the helipad and waited until the chopper landed.

Ten minutes later, the chopper had finally landed.

Nathan immediately hopped off the chopper and made his way towards his waiting wife.

"I'm sorry I was away that long. I still have to go to the nearby town to buy these strawberries. Are you hungry?" Nathan asked her.

Kim Eunji was silent but still nodded her head.

She then followed Nathan to the kitchen and decided to help him wash the fruits with the tap water.

She then pulled out a knife and skillfully sliced the watermelon into well-proportioned slices leaving everyone to be amazed by her skills.

"Amazing!"

Nathan gave her a clean plate and even prepared the soy sauce and the chili paste.

When she was done slicing the whole melon, Kim Eunji then took one slice and sat down on the chair.

"Bon appetite!" She mumbled.

Nathan watched how Kim Eunji took one watermelon slice after the other.

He couldn't help not to be curious of how the melon would taste by that kind of dip.

He wanted to make a bit size and taste it for himself but before he could even do, Kim Eunji growled at him making Nathan to stop in the process.

"Go and eat your dinner. Let me have a peaceful time with my melon and strawberries." She said.

Nathan then let one of the female servant to serve him dinner.

He didn't go back to the cottage and eat there as he decided to eat in the farthest corner away from her inside this kitchen while watching his wife enjoying her weird fruits and dip combo.

In just fifteen minutes, Kim Eunji finished eating the whole watermelon which made Nathan's eyes to bulged out from the socket.

"How--" He blurted out but before he could even finish asking his question, Kim Eunji let out a huge burp accompanied with a satisfied smile in her face.

Then she took one strawberry and dipped it in the chili paste and eat it.

It took only five minute for Kim Eunji to eat all of the twelve strawberries alone.

Licking her finger, she stood up and then asked Nathan who still couldn't believe the scene that had unfold in front of him.

"Wifey...tell me honestly, did you threw the slices of watermelon away?" Nathan felt the need to ask her."

"What do you mean? I ate them all. You saw me eating them, didn't you?" Kim Eunji refuted.

"You better hurry up. I am already sleepy." She added.

"Oh, you may go ahead. Mona will show you into our room." Nathan told her.

"Are you sure?" Kim Eunji said with a bit of disappointment in her tone.

"I am sure. I'll finish this first then I promise to join you there afterwards.

"Okay...better hurry up. I already miss you." Kim Eunji then threw playful wink at him.

Nathan was rendered speechless because of her antics.

As she left Nathan behind, she heard the doctor who accompanied them from the airplane all the way in to this island talking to someone over the phone.

"I'm sorry. I don't want to do this anymore." The doctor told the person on the other line.

"No! Don't let them go! I'm begging you. They're innocent." He pleaded.

Kim Eunji was certain that whoever was he talking to the other line, that person's threatening the poor doctor.

Kim Eunji thought that it was useless to linger on their conversation as it didn't concern her but then her steps halted when the doctor said something out of character.

"Alright. Give me until tomorrow. The whole world will be shocked over his death."

Kim Eunji who had been standing behind him then took action as she reached out and snatched the phone from his hand.

"What the hell?!" He yelled and turned around as he was ready to scold the person who snatched his phone away from him. He was in the middle of a very important conversation.

But he gulped hard and swallowed them when he saw who was that person.

"Miss-us Bai!"

"Yes! It's me." Kim Eunji then looked at him with a sly smile on her face.

"So, do you want to share that beautiful plan of yours? Killing's my expertise." She nonchalantly said.

"Wh-at?" The doctor wanted to deny her claim but was not able to finish it Kim Eunji had already landed a solid hit on his head making him to pass out.

"You're messing with the wrong people Mister or Miss John Doe!" She then hung up the call and tossed the phone on top of his body.

She then saw Derek through her peripheral vision and said, "Bring this man into a vacant room then tie him up. I still have to interrogate him tomorrow. Make sure that he won't do something stupid."

Her intentions were loud and clear. Whoever was that person on the other line, that person had bad intentions over him and her.
