Chapter 1943: Taste Disappeared

Not wanting to attract attention, Luther swallowed the fish slices, pretending to enjoy the taste. He covertly ate a few more pieces, finishing them all. Joyce, sensitive as ever, noticed something peculiar. She too picked up a few fish slices, tasted them, and then quietly observed Luther's expression.

The meal proceeded smoothly, with Anderson and Alisha eating heartily and letting out a satisfied burp. "It's so wonderful to have you, Grandma. We get to eat your delicious food every day," Alisha, the sweetest of them all, said happily to Cecelia.

Joyce chuckled, "Actually, Grandma is quite busy with many responsibilities. Having Grandma cook for us here is the country's loss. Understand?" "Oh, okay," Alisha nodded with half understanding. Anderson fully comprehended the situation; being the daughter-in-law of a prestigious family was no easy task.

"I'll stay with you all for a while longer. My official duties are light at the moment," Cecelia gazed at Joyce's protruding belly, "You're due in two months, and I'll be by your side this time to witness the birth. I wan to be there for you."

Joyce gently caressed her belly, "You all are too anxious. It's just having a baby, nothing extraordinary. The doctor assured me of a natural birth, so don't worry." "Eat more, I saw you ate very little just now," Cecelia pushed a dessert towards Joyce, "It's your favorite, lotus seed red bean soup, not too sweet or heavy."

Joyce shook her head, "No, the doctor specifically warned me. During pregnancy, especially towards the end, it's crucial to control weight. With twins like mine, wanting a natural birth, the children can't be too big. No sweets, only 100 grams of fruit per day, strictly controlled."

"Really? So many rules now." Cecelia smiled, "Okay, noted."
