#Chapter 70: An Unbridgeable Gap

By the time Ella’s training was about to end, Edrick and I had purchased a whole host of baby supplies. He insisted on buying the bassinet anyway, as well as anything else the baby might need. Although I thought it was a bit irresponsible for him to spend so much on certain items, I figured that he knew what he was doing, and I didn’t argue any further. Besides: I couldn’t help but feel happy to spoil our future child as well.

We picked Ella up at training, then Edrick pulled out of the parking lot and began driving in the opposite direction of the penthouse.

“Um, daddy?” Ella called from the back seat, twisting in her car seat to look intensely out the window. “I think you’re going the wrong way.”

Edrick smirked, then shook his head. “No, Princess. We’re going out for dinner.”

Ella gasped and squealed excitedly. “Really?” she asked.

“Really.”

“Really really?”

“Really really.”

Ella squealed excitedly again, which made both Edrick and I smile. I was sitting in the back with her to keep her company, and at one point I looked up to see Edrick’s gray eyes on me in the rear view mirror. I blushed and quickly looked away. When I glanced back up, he was looking at the road again.
