Chapter 238: A Few Clues
Ella felt a little deflated. "Just be careful, and... Eric, I want to go on a diet, okay?"
After nearly two years with Eric, she had gained more than ten pounds under his care! Her face had filled out, giving her an even rounder, doll-like appearance.
"No way!"
"Why not? If you won’t let me go shopping, then I’m going to diet!" Ella pleaded with him. Every time she secretly decided to start a diet, Eric would always send more food her way, inevitably breaking her plan.
"Eat it, or tonight you’ll regret it in ways you’ll remember," Eric said with a smirk, placing a golden, roasted drumstick in her bowl.
The irresistible smell completely shattered her resolve.
Ella couldn’t help but swallow and smiled bitterly. "Since it’s a reward from my husband, I guess I’ll reluctantly accept it."
Eric’s eyes crinkled into a crescent-moon shape as he laughed. She clearly wanted to eat it, but still insisted on talking about dieting. People like her... they always end up gaining more weight, eventually becoming a little chubby girl that no other man would pay attention to!

The next morning, Eric went to the Nelson Group Hotel for a press conference, where he revealed several key pieces of information.
