Beata’s eyes widened in an instant, and she looked at Yael with a pout. “You turned my big crab into just one dish. Isn’t that too much?” She hadn’t even had her fill yet.
The big crab was so delicious, and only eating two wouldn’t be satisfying at all.
Yael said, “Your stomach isn’t good. Eating too much will make you hurt.”
Yael knew everything about Beata, including her menstrual cycle. He knew how fragile Beata’s stomach used to be before, which was why River controlled her diet so strictly.
Because of this, Yael didn’t want any problems to arise while Beata was with him.
If he caused any problems with her digestion after a meal together, not only would he feel guilty but he also couldn’t bear the responsibility alone.
Whether it was selfish or not, Yael didn’t want anything bad to happen while she was under his care.
Beata pouted and felt wronged when she saw that Yael wasn’t budging despite her plea. She looked at him pitifully and said, “Just this once? Can I eat it secretly? Don’t tell my brother. I won’t tell him either.
If my brother doesn’t know about it, then we can pretend like nothing happened.”
Beata sounded very pitiful, which made Yael’s heart soften for a moment, but only for a moment, because he reminded himself that he couldn’t let this happen again.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to take responsibility; rather it was because of his concern for Beata’s health.
As long as her body allowed it, Yael wouldn’t hesitate to indulge her desires.
Beata felt truly wronged now. She lowered her eyes without saying another word.
From childhood until now, she had fought with River over food many times, but in the end, she always lost.
It couldn’t be helped.
River never wanted anything bad to happen to Beata. He stopped doing things that were harmful for her own good.
Although many people criticized such behavior as moral blackmailing, in Beata’s opinion, it wasn’t like that. She knew River did everything out of love. Because every time she disobeyed or fought with
River, it always ended up making herself sick.
Others may be false, but the pain from the body was real.
Beata was not a really self-willed person. She knew very well that since some things were done by herself, she had to be responsible for them herself.
So, gradually, she became sensible and stopped making troubles.
Today, the excuse she gave herself was that she wanted to make a fuss about Yael and see how he would treat the heroine if he were the hero.
Now, Beata knew that Yael was still very strong in this respect.
However, even if she understood some truths, she still couldn’t change the grievance in her heart at the moment.
Yes, she was wronged, very, very wronged.
Beata didn’t know how to deal with her current emotions.
She knew that she was an unreasonable child at the moment, but she just couldn’t control it.
Yael looked at Beata’s head that was obviously getting lower and lower, and he was also struggling in his heart.
He can pamper her, make her happy, and do whatever she wanted, but then what?
The pain in her body cannot be replaced by others.
Yael’s heart felt like it was on fire, making him extremely uncomfortable.
After a while, Yael said, “You still have four days left in your menstrual cycle. Wait until it’s over before you come to eat.”
Beata looked up at Yael in astonishment.
Her gaze was fixed on Yael’s face. If it weren’t for that, she really couldn’t figure out if she was hallucinating or not. Why did she hear about her menstrual cycle?
However, Yael also proved with his actions that Beata didn’t mishear him.
Yael said, “I’ll accompany you to eat when you’re done. Eight crabs – not one less and not one leg missing.”
Beata couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
She was sure she hadn’t heard wrong; Yael had indeed said that not even one leg would be missing from the crabs.
That serious expression of his – those who knew he was talking about crab legs understood what he meant; those who didn’t might think he meant something else entirely!
Beata laughed so hard her stomach hurt and leaned over the table as her shoulders shook uncontrollably with laughter.
Yael watched her laugh and felt relieved himself.
If Beata had gotten angry and insisted on eating despite everything else, there wouldn’t have been anything he could do about it!
Finally, Beata laughed enough ??or more accurately ??until her cheeks hurt so much from laughing that she couldn’t continue any longer.
Lifting her head from the table top, Beata said, “Yael ??you’re really something.”
Suddenly, he was feeling like he didn’t want to talk anymore.
At this moment though was when Beata began feeling shy herself too late.
Knowing when a woman’s menstrual cycle was happening by a man who wasn’t an intimate partner can make even someone as carefree as Beata feel self-conscious.
The shyness came over her all at once causing dizziness throughout all of herself.
She didn’t know how to describe how complexly mixed up inside of herself she felt right now…
On the one hand, Beate truly felt embarrassed- so much so that she couldn’t even look at Yael directly.
But on the other hand, she actually found herself secretly happy!
Yes- there was no mistake here- happy!
What made her happy wasn’t knowing someone knew about her period but rather who knew it…
It wasn’t just anyone…it was Yael!
If it were anyone else telling her this information, then she’d probably feel ashamed beyond belief and maybe even tell River never to show their face around her again.
But since it was Yael telling her this information instead, it just felt sweet somehow.
As soon as this idea popped up, Beata frightened herself.
What was she thinking? Can she be normal again?
Just blame River and Averi, stinky brother. They shouldn’t have talked to her about dating. It was fine for the two of them to fall in love by themselves.
Now it made her little head, which was always thinking wildly, filled with abnormal things.
Beata now even hoped that someone can come and save her.
Sitting opposite Beata, Yael naturally took in all her expressions.
Her face was very red, pink, and very, very cute.
Yael still remembered that when he rescued Beata, she fainted, her face was covered with dirt and scars, and she looked dirty and pitiful.
At that time, she was a child, and he never thought that she had grown up in such a short time.
Even though Beata still had baby fat on her face, she was still a slim beauty.
Yael sensed what he was thinking, and his whole nerves tensed up.
He even despised himself in his heart. What was he thinking? Why was there such an unclean idea?
Beata and Yael were both not talking, and they were immersed in their own emotions.
Especially Yael, when he became more aware of what he had been thinking about with greater precision, he found it even harder to calm himself down.
At this moment, Yael even wanted to escape.
He was a mature man who naturally understood what each of his thoughts represented. He understood, but what Yael understood even more clearly was that his ideas were not permissible and not allowed.
Therefore, in order to prevent this idea from growing even more rampant, the best method was to cut it off from this moment.
However, problems kept arising. How to cut them off? How to deal with them? Could it be that he ran up to River and said, “I have inappropriate thoughts about your sister, so from now on, I can no longer be her bodyguard?”
Yael was sure that if he had said that, he would have been killed by the River.
So, the best way was actually to maintain the status quo and not make any changes.
However, the way of whitewashing the situation brought about the result that he suppressed his own thoughts on one hand and tried to control the growth of these thoughts that were beyond his control on the other hand.
The struggle between these two forces ultimately pushed him step by step into an abyss. Now, Yael was still rational, but there were some things that once they grew out of control, reason cannot control them.
And then what? What came next?
How should he do it?
If it was just making him uncomfortable, then it didn’t really matter. He was afraid that once a person’s evil thoughts arose, it was not himself who will be harmed but others.
Yael had no way of hurting Beata naturally.
Beata didn’t know what Yael had been thinking during this period of silence.
After the shyness wore off, Beata returned to her usual self. The hairy crab was not allowed for her to eat, but she couldn’t resist the temptation as her mouth watered.
So, Beata said, “Yael, would you like to finish the remaining hairy crabs?”
Yael looked at Beata and could tell from her eyes that she was up to something mischievous.
However, this time Yael did not expose Beata, instead he cooperated and opened the hairy crabs.
Beata’s eyes lit up with excitement as she stared intently at the large crab in Yael’s hand, gleaming with anticipation. To be precise, she was staring at the fatty roe of the hairy crabs in his hand.
