Chapter 293
Eli’s face turned red when she heard the question from Eiten, she lowered her head and hid a small smile that appeared on her lips.
Realizing someone else was there, Bella turned around and saw her mother. “Mama!” She jumped up and down and approached her mother with a wide smile on her lips. “Mama, are you, okay? Was the queen angry at you?” Bella looked at her mother with a concern in her eyes.
Eli immediately shook her head. “No, of course, not. The queen is not angry at me,” she replied, while caressing her daughter’s head.
“So, why it took you so long? And why I couldn’t enter the room?” Bella stretched out both of her arm, asking to be picked up.
Eli bent her body slightly and then picked Bella up. “Because we were talking about a serious thing that not a child is allowed to hear.”
“Why?” Bella tilted her head.
“Because this is an adult conversation.”
“Why?”
Currently, Bella loved to ask this question, she was at the age, where she would question everything and Eli would explain to her gently.
Seeing this, Eiten approached them and joined in the conversation, helping Eli to answer Bella’s never ending question.
“Look, this is a beautiful necklace, right?” Eiten pointed at his necklace that he had made earlier to distract Bella from asking more question.
“That’s not a beautiful necklace,” Bella giggled.
“What do you think?” Eiten fixed his eyes at Eli, which made the omega lowered her head, but it didn’t hide the way she blushed.
“It’s… good,” Eli replied sheepishly. Of course, there was nothing good with the horrendous necklace that Eiten made, thus Bella disagreed with her mother.
“Mama, that necklace is ugly.”
In the end, they spent the whole day talking about random thing, where Eiten would tell Bella a few children’s stories that he had ever heard when he was a child.
The royal Gamma made a mental note to read more stories for children after this.
“Aren’t you busy?” Eli asked, because Eiten had been with her and Bella for hours.

Chapter 293
“You don’t like me here?” Eiten looked at Bella with sad eyes, which made her panicking. She immediately waved her hands frantically, afraid that Eiten would misunderstand her.
“No… No, that’s not what I meant…” Eli said hurriedly, but Eiten simply laughed to see her reaction.
“I am just kidding.” Eiten caressed Eli’s head, he did it naturally, as if he had done it a few times before. He grinned when Bella came over with two flowers in her hands. They were still in the green house and didn’t have any plan to leave yet, though it was already lunch time.
“For you.” Bella handed the flowers to Eiten and her mother, showing her small teeth, grinning because she was so happy.
“Thank you, baby girl.” Eiten kissed Bella’s cheek and she liked it. The little one clung to Eiten and told him about the flower in her hand and what the name of it.
Eiten knew the name of the flower, but he didn’t mind to listen to her explanation.
“I am hungry,” Bella said, she looked up at Eiten. “I want to eat meat.”
“Bella.” Eli immediately nudged her daughter, reminding her to behave, but Eiten shook his head, indicating Eli that it was alright.
“Sure, let’s find meat.”
Eiten picked her up and swung her little body, until Bella was laughing so hard, she looked very happy, but Eli looked concern.
“What is it?” Eiten asked when he caught the look on Eli’s face. “Something is bothering you?”
“You are just recovered, you shouldn’t have carried her.” Eli stretched out her arms. “Come, mama will pick you up.”
However, to Eli’s surprise, Bella hugged Eiten’s neck tightly. “I want to be carried by him, mama. He is stronger than you. He can swing me.”
Eli’s face turned red again. “Mama can swing you too.”
Bella shook her head. “No, mama can’t swing me, because you will have a backpain.”
“No, I am not.” Eli widened her eyes, as if telling her daughter to stop talking, but Bella didn’t stop.
“That bad guy hit your back, since then you have a problem with backpain. I don’t like that guy.” Bella buried her face against the crook of Eiten’s shoulder.
“What guy?” Eiten asked, his voice was dark and deep. He stopped walking and you could feel the murderous intention that emitted from him.
“No… it was…” Eli stuttered slightly.
