Ella felt a little deflated. "Just be careful, and… Eric, I want to go on a diet, okay?"
After nearly two years with Eric, she had gained more than ten pounds under his care! Her face had filled out, giving her an even rounder, doll-like appearance.
"No way!"
"Why not? If you won't let me go shopping, then I'm going to diet!" Ella pleaded with him. Every time she secretly decided to start a diet, Eric would always send more food her way, inevitably breaking her plan.
"Eat it, or tonight you'll regret it in ways you'll remember," Eric said with a smirk, placing a golden, roasted drumstick in her bowl.
The irresistible smell completely shattered her resolve.
Ella couldn't help but swallow and smiled bitterly. "Since it's a reward from my husband, I guess I'll reluctantly accept it."
