Lambert saw her pitiful little appearance and asked with a smirk, "Why do you always seem so reluctant yet inviting?"
Ariana was speechless and just glared at him.
Seeing this, he leaned in and kissed her cheek, affectionately saying, "Since you're always not very fond of this kind of thing, then I'll have to let you understand the pleasure of it by teaching you myself! At least I believe that I'm not at all rude!"
The warm breath spilled onto Ariana's cheeks. Compared to the previous two times, this was the first time she felt such an inexplicable repulsion and nausea.
Ariana clenched her teeth and forcibly ignored the feelings brought about by Lambert's touch.
Seeing her like this, Lambert, who had initially wanted to tease her, let go of his control over her, "Don't take that medication anymore!"
She was slightly stunned, opening her eyes and looking at him in surprise.
Ariana had originally thought that this time, Lambert really wanted to humiliate her in this way. Unexpectedly, he told her not to take the contraceptives anymore.
Lambert pinched her chin, speaking in a slightly heavy tone, "Next time when it comes to matters concerning the both of us, you must tell me. Don't forget, you proposed to take this step and make the marriage real."
When Lambert first saw the medication in Ariana's hand, he felt it was somewhat familiar. Only later did he realize that it wasn't a vitamin.
At the time, Lambert was indeed very angry, but later he understood that it was normal for Ariana to have reservations.
Downstairs...
Jolene, as usual, prepared the tonic soup for Ariana and Lambert.
Seeing this, Old Mrs. Stone waved her hand and whispered with a faint smile, "No need, don't send it up tonight."
Jolene was somewhat surprised, "Why?"
The old lady had always been the one most concerned with this matter, but surprisingly, today she said not to deliver it.
Old Mrs. Stone smiled and told Jolene, who had been constantly worried about Lambert and Ariana, about what she had just seen. With a slight smile, she said, "If this nutritional soup is delivered again, I'm afraid it will cause a flare-up.”
Understanding the underlying meaning in the old lady's words, Jolene responded with a meaningful smile and had someone take the soup away to be poured out.
After all, Ariana was still a girl in her early twenties, and her marriage was still fresh. Seeing Lambert and Ariana take the nutritional soup every day, she naturally couldn't stand it.
There is a limit to everything, otherwise it is normal to get angry.
The maid took the soup to the kitchen, thinking it was a pity to pour it out, but there was no alternative.
By chance, she ran into Aster and caught her attention.
"Hold on, what is this?" she asked.
The maid was shocked and honestly replied, "This is the nutritional soup for Sir Lambert and his wife."
Aster frowned, wondering, "Nutritional soup?"
After pausing, she asked, not quite understanding, "Then why was it taken back?"
The maid replied, "The old lady said it's not needed anymore, so she asked me to take it back to be poured out."
"Poured out?"
Aster was somewhat surprised. After all, recently, both Old Mrs. Stone and Jolene had been constantly trying to feed the married couple nutritional soup. The sudden halt in the delivery made her worry a bit.
Thinking back to the conversation at the dinner table earlier, Aster assumed the old lady was upset. She secretly felt delighted, and told the maid, "It's a waste to pour out the supplement. Give it to me!"
She initially thought that Lambert and Ariana were at most boyfriend and girlfriend. She had not expected that they were actually married.
Lambert laughed, "Who else?"
Somewhat surprised, Stacey asked, "So now you guys are..."
"Making a baby!"
"Lambert! Are you out of your mind!" Ariana had not expected him to say these things to others. She was so angry she wanted to snatch the phone away, but Lambert prevented her by pinning her down.
Lambert held her hands down and said suggestively, "It's still early..."
"You... Mmph..."
Before Ariana could say anything else, her words were silenced by Lambert's kiss.
Stacey on the other end of the phone, heard the voices of Lambert and Ariana and looked displeased, then hung up the phone indignantly.
...
Ariana and Lambert went downstairs together, their expressions did not appear as bad as yesterday, which surprised the others.
The old Mrs. Stone and Jolene exchanged a meaningful glance but remained silent.
Seeing the reconciled couple, Khloe felt upset and deliberately made a sarcastic remark, “Young people nowadays have lots of energy. It seems like you were arguing yesterday, but today you look like nothing happened.”
Lambert chuckled and said, “Aunt, you’re taking it too seriously, how could that be called an argument?”
