Chapter 230: Giving Him a Bath
"Stop, stop! Honey, you’ve said that same line a dozen times today. My ears are getting calluses! Can’t you say something new?" Eric quickly interrupted Ella with a playful grin.
Ella blinked, a bit surprised. *Do I say that so often?* Women can indeed be a bit chatty, she thought.
"Alright, what do you want to hear? Or do you have a special request?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
"My dear wife," Eric smirked mischievously, his eyes gleaming with mischief. "How about this: once I’m fully recovered, for the next six months, you’ll do everything I say?"
Eric’s eyes sparkled as if imagining his cute little Ella dressed up as a maid, diligently taking care of him.
Ella pouted, eyeing the bandages on his hands. "Well, since Mr. Nelson is so charming, I suppose I’ll reluctantly agree."
Eric chuckled, reaching out to pinch her cheek gently. "Good girl. Behave, and you’ll be rewarded. When that old man’s birthday rolls around, I’ll make sure he has the most unforgettable birthday of his life!"
Ella’s mood brightened. Over the past few days, she hadn’t cared much about anything other than Eric’s recovery. As for the Carter Group, she wasn’t in any rush to plan her next move.
Later that evening, Ella fed Eric dinner, and they spent a peaceful time together, their love palpable. Even Mrs. Harris, watching from the side, felt moved by the sight of their harmony.
"Eric, do you want to go for a walk outside?" Ella asked after finishing dinner. She had overeaten since Eric had playfully fed her more than she could handle.
"Sure, let’s go," Eric agreed. It had been a long time since he had left the hospital room. Staying cooped up was starting to feel stifling.
