She Got A Better Man

Chapter 265

Yes, Elvira, if you need something done, let him handle it. You shouldn't be doing anything yourself. Right now, your health is the most important," Skylar immediately agreed.

"Elvira, are you hungry? I had Anna bring you some luxurious collagen broth tr's in the car, and we can

get in." Tracy eagerly added, always wanting to take care of Elvira

"Tracy, now that you mention it, I am feeling a bit hungry. It seems like I've been getting hungry faster lately: Elvira responded with a smile, not wanting to disappoint the older woman. She knew Tracy was just looking out for her. "Zach, from now on, you need to keep some snacks around for Elvira. Pregnant women get hungry easily, you know? And they get sleepy too, so make sure you pay attention to that, Tracy continued, clearly worried about her. "Elvira, maybe you should take a break from work for a while. You have so many people under you that you can't let them just collect a paycheck without doing anything. Let them handle it. Tracy suggested, not wanting Elvira to work too hard. "Tracy, I've already been cutting back on my workload. I'll take it one step at a time. Elvira reassured her, signaling that she could manage.

"What do you want to eat? I'll bring more next time," Zach said, suddenly thinking about how he could better care for her. He realized he might need a bag. He'd never liked carrying one before, but now he was going to get one just to carry food for Elvira. "Don't make things harder, please." Elvira teased, feeling like she was becoming a rare endangered species in their eyes.

Samantha looked at how the Gilbert family fussed over Elvira and couldn't help but feel happy for her. She could tell that the Gilbert family members truly cared about Elvira.

No matter what they said, Elvira just agreed. She'd always lacked the warmth of family growing up, and she was soaking up the feeling of being pampered and adored.

Once they got in the car, Elvira began eating the luxurious collagen broth. Zach fed her himself, and though Elvira thought it was a bit over the top, Skylar and Tracy didn't find it strange at all.

In fact, they looked at him with a proud, approving gaze, as if he did a good job.

Elvira wanted to eat on her own, but the three of them insisted she didn't, and she finally gave in, eating the whole portion with them hovering around her.

Just as they were heading home, Zach received a phone call. After listening to the news, he glanced at the three women in the car, keeping his emotions in check as he said, "I need to deal with something urgent. You three go ahead and wait for me at home." "What's more important than your wife?" Tracy asked, clearly frustrated. They had just left the hospital. She didn't believe there was something so urgent that he needed to leave right now.

"Tracy, Zach must have an important matter to deal with. Let him go. With you and Skylar here, I will be just fine," Elvira said sweetly, holding Tracy's hand.

wanting to let go, her eyes glancing at her growing belly with a shining, affectionate gaze. Once Zach got out of the car, he immediately rushed to Alice's daycare. He had just received a call from his bodyguard, informing him that
