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, taking 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."
