Chapter 2102
Ethan’s expression instantly froze.
This was such a mysterious feeling!
Even though Ethan was that God of War that never lost a fight and was one of the most powerful fighters of his generation, he had suddenly become an ordinary man now.
He was a man who was about to become a father.
“He’s really kicking me!” Ethan couldn’t help but laugh. “See!”
He excitedly pointed at Diane’s baby bump that bulged out slightly. It had moved a little earlier, and it was obvious that the little one inside was moving.
“That’s right.” Diane couldn’t hold her laughter in.
This was the first time she had seen such a reaction from Ethan.
So it was true that any man reacted the same way when they felt their little one move like this.
Ethan carefully laid his face on top of Diane’s baby bump, but there was no movement for a long time.
“Why isn’t he kicking me anymore?” asked Ethan a little anxiously.
“You’re his Daddy, so he can’t bear to keep kicking you.” Diane was going to burst out laughing soon. “Give me a minute, I’ll help you hear him.”
She pulled out a fetal heart monitor from inside the drawer and placed it on her bump. After adjusting it a little, the sound of a heartbeat was amplified.
It was beating so quickly!
Ethan’s face reddened in excitement. He felt like he could already see his own child as he heard this heartbeat.
This was his child’s heartbeat?
“Is it nice to listen to?” asked Diane smugly.
Ethan nodded and his gaze became even gentler. He pulled Diane gently into his arms and placed his palm on her baby bump. The three of them spending time together were the best times of his life.
“You’re going to leave again, right?” asked Diane softly after she kissed him.
She knew her man only too well.
When she saw Shawn and the rest come earlier, she knew that something must have happened, and it was something big enough that required Ethan to handle personally.
“That’s right.” Ethan nodded.
He never hid anything from Diane.
Regardless of whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, he would tell her about it as long as she wanted to know.
“Even though I’d really love for you to remain by my side, I know that there are even more important things for you to attend to.” Diane smiled. “With great power comes great responsibility. I understand that.”
“I’m sorry,” said Ethan apologetically.
He was sorry that he couldn’t accompany Diane properly.
There were times when he felt like casting everything aside and just remained by Diane’s side. He wanted to just pretend that it was none of his business even if the whole world was turned upside down.
But he couldn’t.
Diane didn’t seek to tie himself to her either. She knew that Ethan’s sky was high and far, so what she needed to do was to make sure she could keep up with him and fly by his side, and not tie him down to the ground next to her.
That wasn’t love anymore. That was restraint.
Love was freedom. It was to give each other enough space and time, and to believe that no matter what happened, they would always remain by each other’s side.
“You don’t have to be sorry.” Diane laughed and hugged Ethan as she lay in his embrace. “You’ve already done a wonderful job and I’m really very happy.”
“Don’t worry, there are so many people in the house to take care of me, so nothing will happen.”
“Besides, Greencliff is a forbidden territory, so what are you afraid of? There’s also Uncle Clark and the other grandmasters around, so nobody can possibly bully me.”
“I’m really very blessed to have so many people protecting me.”
Diane seemed more like she was comforting Ethan. “You are the one who needs to take care out there.”
“No matter what you do, you’ve got to be careful. You aren’t just living for yourself anymore, you hear me?
Ethan just nodded and didn’t say anything.
Diane was speaking, so he just listened to her seriously.
“Also, if you meet any pretty girls out there, you’ve got to control yourself. I’ll get jealous, ok?”
“Of course,” replied Ethan. “My heart only has space for you.”
“Even if it’s a succubus, I wouldn’t take a second look at her.”
