Chapter 422: Sending Him Away
Eric paused slightly; clearly, nothing could escape Ella’s intuition. She wasn’t a fool—Tiffany had already been buried, yet her fans were still causing trouble. It had to be someone deliberately targeting her.
"Nothing you need to worry about. Even if there were something, I wouldn’t let it trouble you. Your job is to relax and focus on having a healthy, chubby baby girl for me. Got it?" Eric leaned closer, his lips brushing gently against hers.
Ella’s brows furrowed slightly, a trace of annoyance flashing across her face. "I must be cursed to attract troublemakers. No matter where I go, I always seem to have enemies."
Eric chuckled softly, his hand tenderly smoothing her frown. "Silly girl, it’s because you’re too exceptional. That’s why people try to tear you down."
Ella’s lips curved into a small smile. To Eric, she was always the best.
Reaching up, she lightly traced his face with her fingers. "Honey, if I have a son, would you still love him as much?"
"Of course!" Eric replied warmly, his eyes glowing with a luxurious tenderness. "If it’s a son, and he looks like you, he’ll be just as handsome. No matter who he resembles, I’ll love him all the same."
Ella smiled knowingly. She already anticipated his answer. His deep, unconditional love made her feel as though she was bathed in sunlight. It didn’t matter whether she had a boy or a girl; Eric’s affection for her wouldn’t waver.
Mia knocked on the door, bringing in the oranges the bodyguard had purchased. Eric began peeling one meticulously, handing the segments to Ella.
The tangy, sweet flavor made Ella scrunch her nose but also seemed unusually appetizing. Normally, she couldn’t stand sour foods, but pregnancy had shifted her tastes. Foods she once disliked now seemed irresistible, while her usual favorites became unpalatable.
"How is it? Feeling better now?" Eric asked, watching her relish the orange with evident satisfaction. His heart swelled with joy—just seeing her eat was enough to make him grateful.
