Chapter 462: Being Followed
Amanda stared speechlessly at Eric’s retreating figure, feeling like she had just seen a ghost. Was this really the same Mr. Nelson from the office? He seemed nothing like the cold, intimidating man she knew at work!
"He’s totally a wife-slave!" Amelia snorted. "Ella, remember, just one bite! Got it?"
Ella nodded, her large, sparkling eyes brimming with laughter. "Just one bite, just to satisfy my craving!"
She was absolutely dying to eat barbecue. She hadn’t had any for such a long time! The mouthwatering aroma had been teasing her since they arrived, and her salivary glands hadn’t stopped working overtime.
What made it worse was that the foods Ella used to love before her pregnancy no longer appealed to her. Instead, she now craved things she’d rarely eaten before—many of which were strictly off-limits according to her doctor.
Pregnancy was tough. As a mother-to-be, she had to avoid so many of her favorite foods, be extra cautious, and eat things she didn’t particularly like.
Amelia nudged Ella’s arm. "Your husband’s so good to you, Ella. You must have done something amazing in a past life to deserve this!"
A past life?
Ella pressed her lips together. Only she knew how miserable her "past life" had been. Maybe that’s why the heavens had taken pity on her, blessing her with such a wonderful husband now.
"Totally! I’ve never seen such a considerate man before," Chloe chimed in, glancing over at Damien, who was chatting animatedly with Richard nearby. She couldn’t help but pout.
Damien treated her well, too, but not in the same attentive and gentle way Eric treated Ella. Damien’s affection was more clumsy and straightforward—sweet in its own way, but he lacked Eric’s tender, almost mischievous charm.
