Chapter 537: Encountering an Old Acquaintance
Eric locked eyes with her, as if seriously analyzing whether she was joking or telling the truth.
"In the end, I told a lie. I said I still had some footing left to lure Brandon closer. Then, I grabbed him and jumped off the balcony... Husband, do you know? That moment of falling was so painful, far worse than childbirth. So, for me, giving birth isn’t actually the most painful thing. The most painful thing is the feeling of falling to my death, and yet, you keep remembering that sensation."
Ella lifted her face in a smile. Eric took a deep breath and tightly held her hand. "Ella, do you really need to joke like this? Your imagination is wild—you should write novels."
Ella burst into laughter. "You really don’t believe me?"
Eric shook his head and smirked mischievously. "I only believe in my wife, not the Ella from your story."
Ella blinked. "What if I told you it was true? Would you be put off?"
"Put off? How could I be? Whether it’s true or not, I love this version of you. I wouldn’t want anyone else." Eric helped her sit up. "Alright, stop lying around. Otherwise, you’ll starve our little princess."
Ella huffed. This man really didn’t believe her.
But who in the world would believe such an absurd thing? If it hadn’t happened to her, she wouldn’t have believed it either.
She got out of bed as Eric personally went downstairs and brought back a big bowl of soup.
His attentiveness never changed. Sitting on the balcony, basking in the sunlight while sipping her soup, Ella enjoyed the warmth of a man gently massaging her sore waist.
