Chapter 1166:
Katie’s face darkened at the sight.
She glared at Anika and rebuked her coldly. “I can understand that you don’t want to drink it, but why waste it? Marcel asked me to take good care of you, and I did. Yet you don’t seem to appreciate my efforts p>
Katie was clearly upset. She couldn’t accept that such carefully prepared soup had been wasted.
Still pale, Anika quickly explained, “I didn’t mean to. I’ve just had an upset stomach for the past few days. I’ll clean it up in a moment p>
The last thing Anika wanted was to anger Katie, so she tried her best to make amends.
Marcel had just returned from the company when he heard the commotion upstairs. His first thought was that Anika and Katie were fighting again. He set down what he was holding and hurried up to see what was happening.
“Anika, Mom, what’s wrong p>
The moment Marcel entered the room, he saw the mess. Chicken soup had splattered across the carpet. Anika looked pale, while his mother looked furious.
Katie spoke first, her brows drawn together. “Marcel, I did exactly as you asked and took good care of your future wife. I even had chicken soup made to help with her nutrition. Instead of being grateful, she acted like the soup was disgusting and nearly threw up just from smelling it. And then she spilled it all over the floor p>
“Mom, Anika has had severe morning sickness these past two days. Please understand,” Marcel said, choosing Anika’s side without hesitation. “It’s not a big deal that the soup spilled p>
Katie was obviously unhappy to see how firmly her son defended Anika. She frowned and complained, “I specifically asked the chef to make that soup for her. It took six hours to prepare p>
Even then, Anika still felt like vomiting and covered her mouth.
“I was pregnant too. Why wasn’t I so fragile when I was pregnant?” Katie snapped. “In my opinion, she’s far too delicate. Anyway, her first concern should be the baby in her womb. If she keeps acting like this p>

“If this keeps happening, how will the baby grow? He might end up malnourished. What if he develops deformities?” Katie said, genuinely worried.
Marcel looked at his mother helplessly and tried to comfort her. “Mom, the baby will be fine. Prenatal checkups are what matter nowadays. If there are any problems with the fetus, they can be detected. We’ll go to the hospital from time to time for checkups. The baby will be fine p>
He patted her shoulder and added gently, “Anika really appreciates your kindness in making chicken soup for her p>
After saying that, Marcel subtly prompted Anika to speak.
Anika immediately understood and said, “I’ll drink it later, once the nausea passes p>
Marcel hoped that would finally stop the argument over the soup. For her part, Katie didn’t want to embarrass her son. She glanced at Anika with a long face and said, “From now on, you two can cook for yourselves. Anika can tell you what she wants to eat, and you can make it p>
After Katie left, Marcel wrapped an arm around Anika’s shoulders and helped her sit down. “Anika, are you okay? My mother has a temper. Don’t blame her, alright p>
They had lived under the same roof for a long time, and Anika knew Katie’s personality well. She also knew Marcel treated her with genuine care. For Marcel and the baby’s sake, she was willing to endure Katie’s bad temper.
