Winning Her Heart Back

Ellas’s Sweet Talk 

Ashley pushed him away. 

As a strong–willed person, she didn’t like being restrained. Meanwhile, Ellas had an alpha’s mindset. Hence, their personalities clashed with each other. 

She put on over mitts, took the noodles out of the microwave, and went back to the living room to eat. 

Elles was always good at justifying things to himself. He convinced himself that Ashley wasn’t trying to draw boundaries by eating her own food; she was probably just too hungry to wall. 

He scratched his chin and opened the fridge. He scanned its contents before taking out two eggs. 

Ashley ignored what he was doing in the kitchen. She ate her noodles while reviewing case files on her phone. 

Before long, Elias came over and placed two sunny–side eggs on her bowl of noodles. 

“I seasoned them with Himalayan salt, so they should taste good,” he said. 

While Ashley didn’t know what they tasted like, the eggs looked perfectly cooked, with firm whites and runny yolks. Ashley poked one with her fork, and the yolk oozed out. 

She glanced at him. “You can cook?” 

Ellas grabbed a puppy plushie and chuckled. “Have you forgotten already? When I got kicked out by my dad and begged you to take me in, I had to cook for myself if you forgot to feed me. I used up all the food in your house.” 

This triggered a long–forgotten memory for Ashley. 

When Elias was around the age of eighteen, he was very rebellious. Eventually, he had a big fallout with his dad and ran away to her place. 

During that time, he promised to protect her and everything she cared about. So, she took him in, and he stayed with her for over a month. 

She was busy with college and couldn’t always take care of him. If she remembered, she’d bring him food. If not, he had to feed himself. 

He was an eighteen–year–old boy, not a puppy. There was no way he would starve himself. 

Hearing this, Ashley realized he had really been waiting for her to feed him. When she didn’t, he learned how to cook 

Ashley pressed her lips together. “You couldn’t order takeout or go out to eat?” 

Elias scooted closer to her. “I didn’t have any money. My dad froze my bank accounts.” 

“Why didn’t you tell me?” she asked. 

Elias scooted even closer, his tone was teasing. “I was a poor little guest, too scared to bother 

r you. What if you kicked me out for being a nuisance?” 

Ashley didn’t know what to say to that. 

Back then, while Ashley lived off–campus, she usually are at the university cafeteria. There wasn’t much food in her apartment save for instant noodles and other quick meals. It wouldn’t be enough food for him for a month 

Elias picked up on her expression and leaned closer, his face resembling the puppy plushie in his arms. “Are you feeling guilty? No worries, just be nice to me now to make up for it.” 

Ashley didn’t give him the chance to get too comfortable. “I don’t eat half–cooked eggs. I don’t like runny yolks. Now you’ve ruined my noodles. 

Ehas blinked, genuinely surprised. He didn’t know 

He tossed the plushie aside and scratched his head. “Let me make you a new bowl? Actually, never mind, the delivery should be here soon. Are you very hungry? I can pick the eggs out for now. You can eat the untainted noodles. 

Ashley replied calmly, “If you weren’t causing trouble here, I’d be done eating and ready for bed by now.” 

Elias took the bowl and started removing the eggs and any noodles touched by the yolk 

“I didn’t know. Don’t be mad. I’ll remember next time not to give you runny eggs. What else do you not eat? Tell me now so I can make sure to get it right. As your due date gets closer, I’ll be home earlier to take care of you.” 

Ashley said, “So, you’re saying ordering takeout is taking care of me?” 

Elias carefully picked out the yolk–stained noodles. “If you need anything, just tell me. I’m not a mind reader. How am I supposed to know if you don’t 

“It’s unnecessary,” she said 

“It is necessary.” Ellas insisted. 

Ellas put the bowl back in front of her. 

He glanced at her belly and gently touched it. “I’m the baby’s father. Didn’t you say you were mad at me for getting you pregnant? hn’t it too easy on me If you don’t give me a hard time?” 

Ashley pushed his hand away. “You smooth talker.” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Bias Sweet Talk 

However, Elias could tell she wasn’t as resistant as before. He knew best how to push his luck with his wife and leaned in to kiss her. Ashley tried to dodge, but he managed to capture her lips.
