Chapter 872
Ellinor placed the cooked noodles in front of Theo.
Theo was casually sitting at the table, aimlessly scrolling through his phone
After seeing the bowl of noodles placed in front of him, he put down his phone and looked up. “That was quick, wasn’t it?”
Ellinor untied her apron and sat down beside him, “It would’ve been quicker if you hadn’t been causing a ruckus. Now eat up!”
Theo smirked slightly as he picked up his utensils and stirred the noodles, laking a leisurely bite before saying. “This is really good, but you don’t have to cook for me. That’s what the help is for
Ellinor raised an eyebrow. “What? You don’t like my cooking?”
Theo pinched her cheek, “You’re taking my kindness for an insult. I’m just worried you’ll tire yourself out.”
Ellinor pouted as her face was being squished, “Cooking a bowl of noodles isn’t exactly hard work.”
Theo’s expression turned serious, “You’re pregnant now, you should be taking it easy”
Ellinor lazily watched him eat, “Are you excited to be a dad?”
“Sort of”
“What do you mean ‘sort of? Either you are or you aren’t! So, are you?”
He finished his meal quickly, and the bowl was empty in no time.
Theo put down his utensils, took a sip of water, and then replied, “I can’t wait to be our child’s father. But once the baby comes, I’ll have to share you with them. I don’t want to share you with anyone right now, even if it’s our own child”
Ellinor paused, then burst into laughter, “You’re such a child‘ You’re already jealous of our unborn baby
He took a big gulp of water, put down the glass, and looked at her seriously.
“You think I’m childish? I may not be that experienced in love, but I know it’s important to enjoy our time together before having a baby. If possible, I’d love to extend our alone time. But since the baby is already on the way, I’ll gladly welcome them with you.”
Ellinor found his earnestness adorable. She stood up, cupped his handsome face, and reassured him, “Don’t worry, having a baby won’t make you any less important ! promise to treat you both fairly
Theo wrapped his arms around her slender waist, pulling her onto his lap, and whispered into her ear, “But because of this baby, every night is a real struggle for me”
Ellinor blushed, understanding his implications, “Theo, not again! You’re such a pig! If I knew this, I wouldn’t have fed you.”
“I’m a healthy man, of course, I have certain… urges.” He said, gently brushing against her skin with his lips, stealing kisses from her earlobe to her lips.
Ellinor’s body softened, feeling electrified. But she still had some sense; they were in the dining room downstairs, and they couldn’t do anything there, the household staff
might see
Theo might not mind the embarrassment, but she certainly did.
So, Ellinor turned her face away. “Theo, you just finished eating and you haven’t brushed your teeth yet.”
Theo’s breath was hot and heavy as he held her chin and turned her face back to his.
His brows were furrowed, his eyes were hazy, and his voice was husky, “Are you disgusted by me?
As he said this, his nose brushed against hers.
Ellinor was in a complete fluster. Theo was bewitching her, “If I was disgusted by you, I wouldn’t be with you!”
