Chapter 74\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie was definitely out of her mind. What had she been hoping for?\u00a0<\/p>\n
She clutched her chest, feeling her heart pounding. Even after a long time, she still couldn\u2019t calm down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As for Jeffrey\u2013the culprit\u2013he picked up his mug and took a sip of his coffee. He began eating his breakfast at a relaxed pace.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie kept taking deep breaths.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was fine. She, too, could act as if nothing had happened and take a seat at the table. In fact, she even purposely chose to sit directly across from Jeffrey. That would put some distance\u00a0<\/p>\n
between them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Martha entered the dining room, carrying a pot of stew. Its aroma filled the air before it was even set on the table.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHere you go, Mrs. Foster. This stew will help to nourish your health and improve your complexion,\u201d Martha said with a smile. \u201cLet me get you a bowl.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie took the bowl from her and tried the soup. Her expression softened, and her face lit up with surprise. \u201cThis is delicious! Martha, I didn\u2019t realize you could cook so well.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie could cook too, but she would never be on Martha\u2019s level.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The key to preparing good stews was choosing the right ingredients and controlling the heat. Otherwise, they could easily become too rich.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Martha\u2019s stew was light and refreshing. Even drinking it felt comforting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course. Otherwise, Mrs. Foster Senior wouldn\u2019t have asked me to look after you, Mrs. Foster,\u201d Martha said. \u201cOnce you\u2019re done with breakfast, remember to take your herbal tonic.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie\u2019s hand holding the spoon hovered in the air.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Martha continued, \u201cThe Foster residence will no longer deliver the herbal tonics. From now on, I\u2019ll be in charge of everything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh\u2026 Alright. Of course,\u201d Natalie said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, the stew no longer seemed delicious. She didn\u2019t know what to do. She quickly looked up at Jeffrey, who was sitting directly across from her. He didn\u2019t seem to have heard anything and remained unbothered by her predicament.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Furious, Natalie kicked him under the table.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finally, Jeffrey looked up lazily. \u201cYes?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie complained, \u201cThis herbal tonic\u2026 It\u2019s bitter. It\u2019s really bitter, honey.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was putting on a show again. Perhaps she deserved to win the Best Actress award.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey knew she wanted him to help her get out of drinking the herbal tonic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEven if it\u2019s bitter, I can\u2019t do anything,\u201d Jeffrey replied. \u201cIt\u2019ll help you conceive. Just bear with it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if I finish the entire course of herbal tonics and still don\u2019t get pregnant?\u201d Natalie blinked innocently at him. \u201cIs it\u2026 Is it possible you\u2019re not up to it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey narrowed his eyes instantly. Not up to it?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSay that again.\u201d He looked as if he were ready to drag her into the bedroom immediately just to prove himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie immediately backed down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Martha served her the herbal tonic, the smell of the dark liquid was enough to make Natalie feel queasy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Foster, just pinch your nose and finish it in one go. I\u2019ve prepared some honey and candy for you,\u201d Martha said. \u201cIt\u2019ll help with the bitterness.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie quickly looked at Jeffrey, who raised an eyebrow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust drink it.\u201d After all, the herbal tonic wasn\u2019t poisonous.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie decided to drink the tonic. It had no side effects and would help nourish her health. Though harmless, it was extremely bitter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the past, Jeffrey had ordered Jacob to dump the herbal tonic that had been delivered into the toilet. Now, Martha was watching them. Natalie had no choice but to drink it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeffrey leaned back in his chair. He held his coffee mug, gazing at her with relaxed ease.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natalie forced herself to pick up the mug. The closer it got, the more pungent it became. She slowly brought the mug to her lips. She would drink it for now and make herself throw it up in the bathroom later.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She just wanted to get through this for today. However\u2026 Before Natalie could even drink the herbal tonic, her stomach started churning violently, and nausea overtook her. All she wanted to do was throw up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
