Chapter 1410
Belinda gasped with surprise and delight. “Holy cow! I’ve seen so many videos online of babies kicking in the womb,
but I never imagined it would be this intense. Auntie, doesn’t the baby being active in there bother you?”
Ellinor’s eyes glowed with maternal warmth as she gently stroked her belly with a teasing smile. “It’s not that bad.
But this little one is a real troublemaker, just like your uncle.”
Belinda, with a dreamy look on her face, rested her chin in her hands. “That’s so wonderful, Auntie. I just know you
and Uncle will have the kind of love that lasts forever and grow old together in bliss! I’m so envious. I wish I had that
kind of love.”
Ellinor raised an eyebrow at her. “Don’t you have a boyfriend? It’s about time you think about getting really serious
with him.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe mention of her ‘boyfriend’ made the expression on Belinda’s face dim. “Auntie, we actually broke up…”
Ellinor didn’t seem surprised. “Why did you break up?”
Belinda sighed in frustration. “Well… he proposed to me, and I got scared, so I didn’t accept.”
Ellinor squinted her eyes thoughtfully. “Are you afraid of getting married?”
Belinda furrowed her brows as a somewhat confused expression appeared on her face. “I’m not scared of
marriage. In fact, I’ve always admired the idea of it and often fantasized about my own wedding.
You know, Auntie, I was once about to get married, but the wedding was called off when I found out that the guy
was a jerk. Before that, I was really looking forward to the wedding and the marriage.
But for some reason, when Jacob proposed, I felt very resistant.”
Ellinor saw through it all. “It’s simple. It’s because you don’t love him.”
Belinda froze as if she’d been struck by lightning.
She didn’t love Jacob..
That was true. She really didn’t.
She just thought Jacob was a nice guy and a reliable man. Being with him meant not having to worry about being
dumped.
Because her taste in men was so poor, she was always falling for jerks. She thought she might as well settle down
with a decent guy.
But when it came down to actually getting married, she couldn’t accept spending the rest of her life with a man she
didn’t love.
Ellinor was about to offer her advice when she was interrupted by Baber’s childish voice.
“Ellinor, you need to use the bathroom for pee-pee, not your pants.”
Peeing her pants?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEllinor looked at Baber with surprise, staring wide-eyed at her pants. She looked down and was dumbstruck.
She was wet, and there was a puddle on the floor.
Oh no!
Belinda noticed it too and panicked. “Au… Auntie, what’s happening? What’s wrong?”
Ellinor’s face turned serious. “Belinda, my water just broke! Don’t panic, stay calm, and call an ambulance for me.
Quickly!”
“Okay! I’m calling 911 right now!” Belinda said as she fumbled with her phone. She dialed the emergency number
and relayed their location and situation.
“Auntie, the ambulance is on its way. They’ll be here in ten minutes. How are you feeling? Can you hang on?”
Baber, not understanding the situation, began to cry and clutched Ellinor’s hand. “Ellinor. Ellinor…
Despite the pain of contractions making her breathing uneven, Ellinor answered Belinda and comforted Baber, all
while glancing at the clock on the wall.
Her due date was early. She was going into labor!
