  • Next Chapter

On a spring evening at eight o’clock, it’s not too late yet, but it’s already dark. On the road leading to the east side of the city, there are few pedestrians during the day, and even fewer at night.

A bicycle sped along the road, the man riding it lifted his bottom and leaned forward, vigorously pedaling.

Turning onto the road leading to his residential area, the man had a smile on his face. As his family’s yard gate appeared in sight, he pedaled even faster.

Ring ring, from a distance, the man pressed the bell, and as he arrived at the entrance of the yard, he pulled the handbrake with a "screech." "Old Zhang, stop looking, it’s me!"

The guard on duty raised his hand to shield his eyes against the glass window, carefully looked at the man astride the bicycle, and hurried out to open the door.

"Second Young Master, where did you go so late?"

"Went to the city for something!" As Joseph Lancaster spoke, he had already ridden the bicycle inside, with a satisfied smile on his face. This big chicken leg cost him a long ride to get.

The Lancaster Family lived in the east side of the city, and the chicken leg was bought from a grocery store in the west side. Connections were also needed.

When he cycled to the city after dinner, the grocery store was already closed. He had no choice but to ride his bicycle to the west side.

Once, while waiting for cooked food to come out of the pot, he chatted with the chubby store clerk weighing items, who mentioned staying in the shop overnight for security. So, he rode his bicycle over there, hoping for luck, and surprisingly got the chicken leg.

When he gave the chicken leg to his little nephew that night, he saw his sister-in-law licking her lips and swallowing, and she had mentioned it in the afternoon.

The sister-in-law wanted to eat a chicken leg. It must be the little one in her belly craving it, and as a father, he couldn’t let his child go hungry.

When the bicycle arrived at Violet Zimmerman’s place, Joseph Lancaster rang the bell again. The ring ring was particularly clear in the night.

On the bed, Violet Zimmerman’s action of chewing an apple stopped, and she perked up her ears to listen carefully.

Not hearing the bicycle bell anymore, she was a bit disappointed because if the little uncle was cycling at this time, he must be out.

Involuntarily, Violet Zimmerman hoped for something in her heart. Seeing her only hold the apple near her lips, Daxton Lancaster turned around and asked in confusion.

"Why aren’t you eating anymore?"

"Can’t eat anymore." Violet Zimmerman casually placed the apple on the bedside table, then slid under the covers.

Daxton Lancaster tightened his grip on the newspaper. During the day, she gave the unfinished pork leg to her brother, and now, she put the unfinished apple aside...

"Knock knock, Family Head, Madam, Second Young Master has just brought something to eat." The servant’s voice came from outside the door.

Almost simultaneously, Violet Zimmerman, who had just slid under the covers, suddenly sat up again, moving clumsily to prop herself up by the bed.

Daxton Lancaster glanced at her, put down the newspaper, got out of bed, and went to open the door.

"What food?"

"I’m not sure, Second Young Master said it was for Madam." The servant replied honestly.

Daxton Lancaster took the food wrapped in greaseproof paper, "Where’s Second Young Master?"

"Second Young Master went back."

"Daxton, what delicious food did Joseph bring over?" In the bedroom, Violet Zimmerman was already a bit impatient.

Pregnant women have especially keen senses of smell, and she could smell the aroma from afar.

"Not sure, you open it and see for yourself."

Daxton Lancaster closed the door and returned, giving the greaseproof paper to Violet Zimmerman. The latter took it and eagerly opened it. Seeing the golden chicken leg inside, she took a bite right away.

"Is it tasty?"

Daxton Lancaster was somewhat puzzled. Although the Lancaster Family was well-off, he didn’t particularly like greasy food, and eating too much would make him nauseous.

"Yes, it’s tasty."

Violet Zimmerman took another bite. Seeing Daxton Lancaster standing by the bed, watching her, she suddenly thought of something and offered the chicken leg to him.

"You have some too."

Looking at the oily chicken leg in front of him, Daxton Lancaster actually didn’t want to eat it and even felt a bit repulsed. But recalling the scene earlier in the day, he lowered his head and took a bite.

It was very fragrant, and the chicken meat was tender. Perhaps because his mindset was different, he didn’t feel nauseous or greasy.

"Is it tasty?" Violet Zimmerman asked as she ate the chicken leg.

"It’s good." Daxton Lancaster smiled, curving his lips slightly and then opened his mouth toward Violet Zimmerman.

Violet Zimmerman handed over the chicken leg again. Seeing Daxton Lancaster still standing by the bed, she said, "Come quickly into the covers, it’s cold outside."
