Chapter 197: Leisurely Time
"It’s a women’s health magazine..." Marcella laughed.
She was surprised her husband thought that she would bother to read a book. She only reads magazines; he knows that.
"So? Read anyway," Tony said without missing a beat.
Marcella didn’t bother him anymore and read about the hormonal changes a woman faces every menstrual cycle. She didn’t think he would be interested in knowing the workings of a woman’s body.
"I heard that somewhere—endometrium..." he said as she was reading.
Marcella took a good look at his face. "You are listening?" she asked.
Why would he want to know this?
"Why can’t I?" he asked. "You have a uterus. I should know about it. Ah, right! We learned about all this in science class back in school! How did I forget everything already?"
Marcella could only roll her eyes. Even she had forgotten everything she learned about this. She was the one who went through the cycles. But she was touched that Tony wanted to learn about the inner workings of her body.
"Should I continue?" she asked.
Tony nodded and she continued her reading. While she was reading, Tony gently caressed her abdomen. Marcella liked his gentle caress.
"You people are something..." he said when she finished reading. He was reminded that mood swings are part and parcel of being a woman because of all the hormonal changes they undergo each month. Also, he now could get why she insisted on doing "it" a select few days every month. It made sense scientifically.
