Chapter 448: The New Girlfriend
The young sales associate, though slightly embarrassed, maintained his professionalism and quickly offered a polite smile. "Of course. I’ll step aside and won’t disturb you. If you need anything, just let me know."
He retreated obediently, aware that the couple exuded an air of wealth and influence, making it unwise to offend them.
As he watched Ella from a distance, a thought struck him. "Wait... isn’t that Mrs. Nelson? The one everyone was talking about recently—miscarriage and a brain tumor? And that must be Eric! No wonder they seemed so familiar!"
Ella had gone through about a dozen strollers before narrowing it down to three favorites. Eric, ever indulgent, instructed the sales associate to order all three.
At this high-end boutique, bulk purchases often came with perks like complimentary delivery, so anything Ella lingered on for more than a moment was immediately added to the list.
"This crib is adorable! So cute and charming!" Ella exclaimed, stopping in front of a wooden crib.
The crib was made from eco-friendly solid wood, unpainted but with a delightful design that had Ella captivated at first sight.
"Then let’s get this one," Eric said with a smile. "And we should pick out some clothes as well. Most of what we’ve prepared is for a girl. Shouldn’t we get a few things for a boy, just in case?"
Ella nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, yes! I’m really hoping for twins—a boy and a girl, a perfect pair!"
It was natural to hope for the best. A son and a daughter would be ideal, but regardless of whether they had two boys, two girls, or one of each, Ella and Eric knew they would love their children dearly.
As they continued browsing, a flirtatious voice floated over.
