Chapter 254: Human Hog
"Aren’t you going to work?" Thea asked, seeing Jeru still in his sleepwear during breakfast.
"Nope. You will go to the market, right? I will accompany you..." Jeru offered. Thea did not respond and began to eat, but her heart was actually wild with joy from Jeru’s thoughtfulness and care. Well, maybe it was because of the pregnancy hormones, but it did not matter, because Jeru’s attention cheered her soul.
Jeru had invited his father to their home instead of them visiting him at the Liu family’s main residence. She was planning to cook different kinds of dishes for her father-in-law, so she could at least gratify him with her exceptional cooking skills.
Jeru accompanied Thea to one of the largest traditional markets in the city, where she could buy all kinds of fresh meat, fish, and vegetables. Thea was all smiles when they arrived at the market.
"It’s been a long time since I last experienced going to the market like this," Thea murmured as she was looking around.
"Careful," Jeru cautioned her when he noticed that the floor was a bit slippery. It was his first time going inside this sort of market, and he had to sneeze several times when he detected various kinds of unexplainable smells that were coming from all the raw meat, seafood, and spices combined.
He didn’t feel that it was safe for Thea to walk around by herself, so he extended an arm to her and instructed, "Grab onto my arm for support." Thea remained still on the spot, so Jeru pulled her hand and wrap it around his arm.
Thea was surprised with Jeru’s action, but she was smiling radiantly.
Jeru had called for a bagger, who would carry whatever purchases Thea would make, while he leisurely watched her buy all the things that she needed.
