Ellena opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Edward let go of her and said in a rare gentle voice, "You should take an afternoon nap."

After she got pregnant, Ellena had the habit of taking an afternoon nap. She did not sleep very long but habitually needed to take a nap.

Her mind was a little confused, so she nodded. "Yes."

She laid on the bed and closed her eyes, thinking that she would not be able to sleep, but in a short while she fell asleep.

Seeing Ellena fall asleep, Edward tucked the corner of the blanket for her and got up to go out.

Edward carefully closed the door and walked all the way to a date tree in the yard.

That was the tree his mother planted when he was very young. He did not remember exactly how old he was at that time.

Her expression was dazed. It was obvious that she had just woken up and was not in the mood."You are awake."Edward walked to the bed and sat down.Ellena frowned. "Did you smoke?"Edward was stunned. He did not expect Ellena's nose to be so sensitive, but he still nodded. "Yes."He then added, "I only lit a cigarette and smoked a few times."Ellena's nose was even more sensitive than when she was not pregnant before."I used to think you don't smoke." Ellena had never seen Edward smoking before, so she thought Edward did not smoke.Edward smiled and didn't say anything.He really didn't like smoking.After all, smoking was harmful to one's health.

    Ellena panicked, "What did Grandfather say to you? You're making me very anxious!" Edward sat down by the bed. Ellena stood in front of him. He had to raise his head to see Ellena's face. "Grandpa said…" Edward suddenly stopped after saying these few words. Ellena waited to hear what was going on. She thought that Alfred and Edward had said something important. Seeing Ellena's serious expression, Edward added the second half of the sentence, "Grandpa said that we should have a few more children." Edward's tone and expression were very serious. Ellena was stunned for a moment and immediately realized that Edward was lying to her. She reached out and ruffled Edward's hair. "I'm serious with you. Are you joking with me?" Edward grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. "I'm serious." As soon as he said that, he kissed Ellena. Ellena understood that Edward did not want to tell her.

Then what you said before still counts?""Of course it counts."Immediately after, Natalie sent her a message, "What kind of script did you write? Send me a part first, but I may not have time in the near future. I am still working overtime. Wait for my message. It might be after the Lantern Festival."At first, Ellena felt that Natalie was a spoiled young lady who did not have her own opinions.But now, she realized that Natalie might not be the kind of person who had a good view of the world in the ordinary sense, but she had her own set of life rules.This world did not have absolute good or bad.A person like Natalie had her own se
