During this time, Emily Walker’s morning sickness had become severe, making it nearly impossible for her to eat anything besides fruit. This forced her to skip school for an entire week.

Seeing that her precious opportunity for resuming her education might slip away, Emily was determined to return to school and finish her studies.

Her stomach was only three months along and not yet showing, and she was already pretty slim. Even at three or four months, as long as she wore loose clothes, her pregnancy would still be invisible.

By the time she reached five or six months, she’d be on winter vacation!

As for the matters following, she’d deal with them later – but no matter what, she wanted to get through this semester.

However, to achieve all of this, she had to get Baron Stuart’s approval!

“No.” The man in the sofa didn’t even look at Emily beside him; he was lazily reclining and had his eyes fixed on the English newspaper in his hand.

Perhaps worried that she might feel lonely at home, Baron Stuart had been coming back at noon recently to accompany her for lunch.

But today was the weekend, and Baron Stuart stayed at home with her the entire morning, going nowhere else.

Seeing the man on the sofa rejecting her request outright, Emily felt dejected and lowered her eyes.

Then she looked up again, “Why not? I’m much better now, look, I’ve been fine for a whole morning!”

During this time, Doctor Gavin had adjusted her diet, which had relieved her morning sickness symptoms. She felt nauseous only when getting up in the mornings and after dinner at night.

However, Baron Stuart was present at those exact moments – he thought her morning sickness was severe and wouldn’t allow her to return to school.

Baron Stuart finally lifted his gaze from the newspaper, appearing thoughtful.

Emily, on the other hand, thought he was considering letting her go back to school, but…

“Time to eat.” Baron Stuart suddenly got up from the sofa. Instead of directly answering her question, he chose to ignore it. Then he changed the subject and walked in the direction of the restaurant.

Watching his retreating figure, the disheveled Emily, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, could only follow him to the dining room in resignation.

Lunch was kept simple by Mrs. Noelle.

When they lived in Stuart Manor, Mrs. Noelle would prepare several of Baron Stuart’s favorite dishes for each meal. Now, in order to accommodate Emily, he had specifically instructed to arrange the meals based on her diet.

So today’s lunch was a simple fruit salad, and since Emily recently craved sour and spicy food, Mrs. Noelle made Spicy Shredded Pork and Vinegar Spare Ribs for her.

None of these dishes suited Baron Stuart’s taste, but to accommodate Emily, he showed no dislike, picked up his chopsticks, and shared lunch with her.

Emily was unaware of his compromise, and even added a few more Vinegar Spare Ribs to his meal, attempting to please him so that she could return to school.

“Mrs. Noelle’s Vinegar Spare Ribs are the best!” For Emily, the Sour Ribs had recently become her favorite dish. So, by sharing her favorite food with him, she hoped he would see how much she wanted to return to school.

Perhaps if it made him happy, he would agree to let her go back to school!

However, she didn’t know that Baron Stuart had never liked sour food, especially dishes with vinegar!

But, after staring at the two Vinegar Spare Ribs in his bowl for a few seconds, Baron Stuart silently picked one up and put it in his mouth, leisurely chewing and swallowing it.
