Upon hearing this, Casey replied, “I’m okay. I don’t really think about it that much. Aimee, are you worried that I might become depressed?”
Aimee responded, “Normally speaking, everyone has the potential to experience depression. I’m just trying to avoid any risks.”
She didn’t want to wait until there was a problem before realizing she should have paid more attention.
Trying to fix things after the fact was useless.
Casey nodded and said, “I don’t think that will happen to me but I promise if anything comes up, I’ll talk to you about it directly.”
With Casey’s assurance, Aimee felt slightly relieved.
Otherwise, she would blame herself for not noticing any abnormalities in Casey earlier.
Of course these were just unfounded worries.
As long as Casey’s physical health was fine, her mental health wouldn’t be affected either.
Recently, Casey’s morning sickness had completely subsided, so now she could eat whatever she wanted without worrying too much about anything else except for gaining weight, of course!
However, what troubled everyone was how much Casey loved spicy food!
Since her appetite had returned, she basically lived off chili peppers and couldn’t eat anything without spice!
Every meal became a celebration of spiciness and without it, nothing tasted good!
Even though Camdyn would sometimes ask Casey to think about the little one in her belly and not just herself, it was okay for her to eat a little bit of spicy food. But eating so much spice was really bad for the baby.
Although Casey would agree with Camdyn and obediently avoid spicy food, she would still have Kelvin go buy barbecue or something similar for her in the middle of the night.
Kelvin was helpless about this.
Every day, he tried his best to prevent being caught by Camdyn. Casey confidently claimed that the little one in her belly must be a girl. As they say, if a woman likes to eat sour during pregnancy, she will have a boy; if she likes to eat spicy, she will have a girl. Suddenly, she had become so good at eating spice that pregnancy was the only explanation.
Fortunately, even though she could handle all this now, there were no changes in her physical indicators. This made Kelvin extremely indulgent towards her.
Of course, it also meant they had to keep hiding from Camdyn by turning a blind eye to their actions.
Now Casey felt a bit hungry but it wasn’t time for dinner yet. She rubbed her stomach and looked at
Aimee before sneakily asking, “Aimee, do you want some cheese fondue?”
“Cheese fondue?” Aimee looked at Casey incredulously as she couldn’t understand how Casey’s mind worked like that.
“It’s cheese fondue! I haven’t had it in ages! Do you want some?” pleaded Casey with puppy dog eyes.
After being reminded by Casey like this, Aimee realized that ever since Patrick caught them last time at a cheese fondue restaurant, she really hadn’t eaten any cheese fondue lately.
Now, with her mention of it, she really wanted to eat. Aimee looked at Casey and said, “Alright then, where should we go eat?”
Casey was taken aback by the question, but then said, “Actually, I was thinking that maybe we could secretly make some self-heating hot pot to eat. Aimee, do you still want to go out to eat?”
When she heard this, Aimee’s mouth twitched and she looked at Casey before saying, “Are you sure?
We’re going to eat self-heating hot pot at home?”
She never expected Casey to suggest something so outrageous.
Casey nodded and said, “Yes I’m sure. It’s just the two of us like this now. Can we really go out? Do you dare? Because I don’t.”
Aimee was speechless once again and didn’t know what Casey wouldn’t dare do.
The more she thought about it though, the more ridiculous it seemed and the funnier it became.
However, since Casey had suggested it already, there was no way she would be satisfied with just eating self-heating hot pot at home.
Aimee raised an eyebrow slightly and said, “I’ll give you a chance to choose. Do you dare follow me out?”
Casey’s eyes lit up instantly as she looked into Aimee’s expectant eyes.
If Aimee dared take her out for hot pot, what else wouldn’t she dare?
Even if it were the entire Hayden family who criticized Aimee for doing so?
Even her grandfather would have to listen when it came to his precious granddaughter – in – law Aimee.
Casey smiled mischievously at Aimee as she said, “Although I also think that what we’re doing is a bit sneaky, since you brought up the idea, let’s go now.”
Aimee couldn’t help but laugh at how fearless Casey appeared as she nodded in agreement, “Alright then, let’s change our clothes first before heading out.”
With a firm nod from Casey, they both hurriedly made their way towards their rooms.
Aimee chuckled and got up to change her clothes. The two of them moved surprisingly fast, especially
Casey, who seemed to be using the fastest movements she had ever made in her life. When they emerged, Aimee was somewhat speechless at what she saw. Casey was dressed in a very low-key outfit that seemed designed to fly under the radar.
All black from head to toe, it made Aimee laugh and shake her head. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you wear black before,” she said.
Casey grinned smugly and replied, “You just don’t understand. This is intentional. Wearing this color means that even if I get sauce or juice on me, no one will notice.”
“But what about the smell? It’s so strong. Surely people will still be able to tell,” Aimee pointed out.
Casey’s smile grew wider as she said confidently, “I’ve thought of that too! Look here. I brought some air freshener with me. After we eat, I’ll spray it on myself and there won’t be any smell left.”
Aimee didn’t know whether or not to warn Casey about Kelvin’s sense of smell. This trick would work for Patrick but not for him at all. Instead she simply said with a shrug, “Alright then. Since you’re prepared like this already, there’s no need for me to rain on your parade.”
Casey looked at Aimee suspiciously and asked curiously, “What do you mean by that? Is there something else going on?”
Aimee just smiled enigmatically and replied, “You’ll find out when we get back.”
Anyway, she couldn’t keep it a secret from her forever, so she decided not to tell her now. She didn’t want to burden her with the weight of the secret and ruin their mood for eating cheese fondue later.
Aimee and Casey couldn’t understand why they were so nervous about going out to eat cheese fondue. It wasn’t like they were committing a crime or anything. They just wanted to go to the cheese fondue restaurant closest to Hayden’s Mansion so that it would be convenient when they went back later.
Casey was quick to defend their decision, saying, “It’s not because we’re scared, it’s just that this place has the best cheese fondue.”
Aimee couldn’t help but laugh at how serious Casey was being.
What was she thinking?
They were making a big deal out of nothing!
“Of course,” Aimee agreed with a smile.
Casey raised an eyebrow and chuckled nervously. She didn’t want to admit that she was scared after all.
But this cheese fondue restaurant wasn’t too bad. It might not have been the best in Innisrial, but it still tasted pretty good.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Casey eagerly grabbed the menu and started ordering food while
Aimee left everything up to her discretion.
They didn’t choose a private room, but instead found a nice spot in the lobby to sit down. However, neither of them noticed that they would actually run into someone they knew here.
Damion was sitting on a chair, originally listening to the person across from him talking. But then he heard a familiar voice.
He looked up and saw two people who surprised him sitting three tables away from him.
Neither of them had noticed Damion was here. Their attention was completely focused on the cheese pot in front of them.
Damion heard Casey say, “Today I have to arrange some really spicy sauce. I want to eat it all at once.
They always control me during my pregnancy. It’s really unfair! Who says pregnant women can’t eat spicy food? What about pregnant women who go to places where spicy food is the main flavor? Do we not deserve to live?”
Aimee knew Casey had resentment about this matter.
This was very normal.
But she still said, “It’s normal for everyone to pay more attention when you’re pregnant. You don’t have to feel wronged.”
Casey shook her head and said, “I’m not feeling wronged. I just love eating spicy food so much that I don’t know what happened before because I never had such great ability in the past.”
For her current ability with eating spicy food, it really was quite exaggerated for her.
Aimee laughed and said, “Great! You get to experience something new.”
Casey immediately laughed too and said, “Anyway, with you around, there won’t be any problems at all.”
After happily ordering their dishes, Casey couldn’t wait any longer.
She was now like a starving child, eagerly waiting for the dishes she ordered earlier.
Little did she know that every move she made was being closely watched by others.
To make matters worse, someone had gone behind her back and reported on her without her knowledge.
Damion didn’t want to do this, but given Aimee and Casey’s unique physical conditions, he couldn’t just turn a blind eye as they recklessly indulged in the spicy cheese pot.
Patrick had just left the company and hadn’t even gotten into his car when his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a message from Damion.
After reading the message, Patrick couldn’t help but laugh. Damion had sent him a picture of Aimee and Casey sitting together eating cheese fondue.
The picture didn’t show what flavor they were eating, but just thinking about it made Patrick imagine what these two girls were up to. They always seemed to get into strange situations.
Patrick quickly closed Facebook and called Kelvin. Luckily, Kelvin had just left too and was on his way to buy cake for Casey.
Patrick said, “Once you’ve bought it, go straight over there.”
Kelvin chuckled softly and replied, “Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Patrick drove towards the cheese fondue restaurant during rush hour traffic. However, he wasn’t in a hurry, but wanted to give Aimee and Casey plenty of time to enjoy their meal.
He also told Damion not to bother them. If he finished before Patrick arrived, he could leave first without disturbing them.
Damion agreed with Patrick’s plan so there was no need for him to go see Aimee or Casey while they were enjoying their dinner together.
