Chapter 453: Kidnapping the Bride
Eric raised an eyebrow, gently poking her soft, dewy cheek. "What’s this? You’re not nervous at all?"
Ella lazily rolled her eyes at him and picked up the glass of milk nearby, taking several sips. "With you around, what’s there to be afraid of?"
She was remarkably calm!
Eric chuckled with a touch of helplessness. "You trust me that much?"
"You’re my husband. If I don’t trust you, who else should I trust?" Ella replied with a soft smile, her hand tenderly resting on her belly.
Eric clasped her hand tightly, his gaze drifting to her rosy lips. Unable to resist, he leaned in and kissed her gently. As he intended to deepen the kiss, Ella quickly pushed him away.
"Don’t get carried away. Besides, Dad and the others are outside. What if they walk in on us..."
"We’re married. A little kiss is perfectly normal, isn’t it?" Eric said with a playful laugh, his hand instinctively resting on Ella’s belly.
The baby was over four months along now, and her belly had a noticeable curve. Eric’s face lit up with joy. "Honey, you need to eat more. Make sure our baby grows up big and healthy."
Ella shot him a look. "As if I needed you to remind me. It’s late. I’m going to take a bath. You stay here and chat with Dad and the others."
"You don’t need me to keep you company?" A trace of disappointment was evident in his tone.
