Chapter 470: A Grand Celebration
Ella lifted her gaze faintly, a hint of mischief gleaming in her eyes. She knew Eric was holding back, and for a man, such restraint was undeniably a form of torment.
Over the past months, numerous actresses had attempted to get closer to Eric, but every time such a situation arose, Eric swiftly put an end to it. He either froze their careers or terminated their contracts outright, leaving no room for doubt about his loyalty. These actions sent a clear warning, deterring anyone else from making similar advances.
"Darling..." Eric licked his dry lips. "The doctor said three months, right?"
Ella smiled softly. "Just listen to the doctor."
Eric frowned dramatically, his face a picture of mock despair. Ella couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sympathy for him. "Hold on a little longer; it’ll pass quickly."
Eric chuckled and sat beside her. "I know... You’ve had it much harder than me. The pain and suffering you’ve endured during and after childbirth are beyond anything I can imagine. Thank you, my love. I promise to make it up to you—every single night, you’ll have my full attention."
He said it with such humor that it lightened the mood, making his struggles seem almost trivial. Ella pressed her lips together, smiling. While feeding their baby, she leaned over and gave Eric a quick peck on the cheek.
Eric’s breathing quickened. "You little tease, you’re clearly trying to seduce me!"
Ella blinked innocently. "Of course not, I’m just thanking you!"
Eric stared at her flushed face, resisting the urge to pull her into his arms. Meanwhile, the elder son, whom they affectionately called "Big Bun," was enthusiastically nursing. The little sounds he made tempted Eric to pinch his chubby cheeks.
Big Bun’s plump little face was adorable without being overdone. Over the past fifteen days, both boys’ jaundice had cleared up, and their skin had turned a healthy, creamy tone. They were irresistibly cute, making everyone who saw them fall in love.
