“When the dishes are served, I’ll test the poison for you first.” Wallace followed Sharon into the private room and sat opposite her.

The first dish was an appetizer— Pufferfish skin. The small bowl was filled with crystal clear fish skin silk. It was accompanied by green side dishes and a unique sauce.

“What’s this sauce?” Sharon asked.

“This is grapefruit vinegar.” The attendant placed the dishes on the table and politely left.

“Honey, I’ll test the poison for you first,” Wallace said with a smile.

Wallace picked up a piece of fish skin with his chopsticks, dipped it in grapefruit vinegar, and placed it in his mouth.

“How is it?” Sharon looked at him nervously.

“It’s especially delicious.” Wallace deliberately craved her.

“Really?” Sharon smiled and grabbed Wallace’s hand. “Hubby, do you feel uncomfortable? Do you need me to call the emergency hotline for you?”

Wallace smiled at Sharon. A moment later, he suddenly covered his stomach with a painful expression and found it difficult to breathe. He fell onto the long sofa in the private room.

Sharon was shocked and quickly ran over. Her heart was pounding. “Wallace!! What’s wrong?!”

Wallace lay in Sharon’s arms and suddenly opened his eyes. He smiled and said, “I’m just teasing you, honey.”

Sharon was scared out of her wits by him just now. She hit Wallace angrily.

“You scared me to death! Do you know that? I was scared to death by you.”

Tears flowed down Sharon’s face. Thinking about it, she was really afraid just now. Wallace, who had always been reliable, steady, and cool, actually joked with her like this.

Wallace didn’t struggle and let Sharon hit him. Looking at Sharon’s tear-stained face, he felt very sweet and couldn’t help but say, “Honey, I love you!”

“Don’t joke like this again, understand?” Sharon patted Wallace’s back hard, and her eye makeup was a little smudged from crying.

“Got it.” Wallace hugged Sharon and kissed her lips with a smile.

The attendant’s knock suddenly sounded. Sharon quickly sat up in Wallace’s arms. She took out a small mirror from her bag and tidied her messy makeup and hair. She glared at Wallace from an angle that the attendant couldn’t see.

Wallace smiled and saw Sharon’s angry expression. He picked up a piece of fish skin with his chopsticks and dipped it in the sauce to feed Sharon.

Sharon hadn’t recovered from the shock just now. She turned her head to the side and planned to ignore this man for the time being.

“Honey, I was wrong. I won’t do it again.” Wallace realized that he had gone overboard with this joke. If Sharon made such a joke to scare him, he would be scared half to death.

Sharon felt Wallace’s sincerity in apologizing. Wasn’t it said that every man had a boy living in his heart? Men were teenagers until they died, so this man in front of her naturally had his little boy side.

“Try this.”

Sharon looked at the pufferfish skin in front of her that belonged to the fish which had poison even in its blood. She first hesitated instinctively, then tasted it nervously.

“It’s delicious,” Sharon said.

“Right?” Wallace smiled.

This fish skin was refreshing, crispy, and especially chewy. Coupled with the sauce, it tasted superb.

Wallace had reserved the Japanese food tonight in advance. If the guests who came to this restaurant wanted to eat pufferfish, they had to make an appointment in advance. Even the appetizers at this pufferfish feast were so delicious. Sharon was looking forward to the delicious food that was about to follow.

The second dish was a puffer fish sashimi. It was as thin as paper and a cicada’s wing. It was enough to show the chef’s knife skills.

The puffer fish sashimi, paired with white and green scallion strips, green scallion rings, and orange mashed carrots, were placed together on a dark blue plate. There was also a quarter of a green lemon and a quarter of yellow lemon served like a brightly colored painting.

Wallace first picked up a piece of pufferfish filet and placed it in his mouth, wanting to taste the original taste of the pufferfish. Then, he squeezed lemon into the puffer fish sashimi and used his chopsticks to roll the scallion silk, carrot paste, and scallion rings in the middle of the pufferfish. He dipped them in the sauce and picked them up for Sharon.

This time, Sharon took a big bite without hesitation..
