Chapter 1410
Belinda gasped with surprise and delight. âHoly cow! I've seen so many videos online of babies
kicking in the womb, but I never imagined it would be this intense. Auntie, doesnât the baby being
active in there bother you?â
Ellinor's eyes glowed with maternal warmth as she gently stroked her belly with a teasing smile. âIt's
not that bad. But this little one is a real troublemaker, just like your uncle.â
Belinda, with a dreamy look on her face, rested her chin in her hands. âThat'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.â
Ellinor raised an eyebrow at her. âDonât you have a boyfriend? It's about time you think about
getting really serious with him.â
The mention of her âboyfriendâ made the expression on Belindaâs face dim. âAuntie, we actually
broke up..."
Ellinor didn't seem surprised. âWhy did you break up?â
Belinda sighed in frustration. âWell... he proposed to me, and I got scared, so I didn't accept.â
Ellinor squinted her eyes thoughtfully. âAre you afraid of getting married?â
Belinda furrowed her brows as a somewhat confused expression appeared on her face. âI'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.â
Ellinor saw through it all. âIt's simple. It's because you don't love him.â
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.
âEllinor, you need to use the bathroom for pee-pee, not your pants.â
Peeing her pants?
Ellinor 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. âAu... Auntie, what's happening? What's wrong?â
Ellinor's face turned serious. âBelinda, my water just broke! Don't panic, stay calm, and call an
ambulance for me. Quickly!â
"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. âEllinor. 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!
