The news of pregnancy brought me both joy and anxiety. The pain of losing a child in the past still lingered in my mind. But I couldn't bring myself to reject Ethan when I looked into his eyes.
"Evelyn, we'll welcome the baby safely this time." Ethan gripped my hand tightly. "I promise I'll do anything I can to protect the baby."
I nodded. Tears began to cloud my vision. "I believe you. This time, we'll protect this little angel together."
From that moment on, Ethan became even more careful with me. He temporarily handed over the responsibilities of Grayson Group and Evelyn Studio to Kevin and Lianne. He never left my side, not even for a moment.
Every day, he prepared nutritious meals for me and accompanied me to prenatal yoga sessions. At night, he was especially careful to protect my growing belly. He was afraid of injuring the baby.
My fears began to subside with his meticulous care.
As the months passed, my belly grew. In the fifth month of pregnancy, the ultrasound test confirmed it was a baby boy.
"That's amazing! We're having a son!" Ethan exclaimed. He lifted me into his arms and spun me around.
A radiant smile spread across his face, one I had never seen before. His joy was contagious, and I couldn't help but laugh along with him.
Perhaps, fate would be kinder to us this time.
"My son, you need to grow up fast and be a knight for your mommy, just like Daddy," I murmured while gently stroking my belly.
Ethan hugged me from behind. "Don't worry. As long as I'm here, both of you will have the greatest happiness of all."
I turned to him and embraced him with all my heart. The hardships of the past had long been forgotten. The warmth I felt in his arms at the moment was the greatest blessing of my life.
In the sixth month of pregnancy, my belly had grown significantly. Any movement had become more difficult, but Ethan stayed close by my side.
