From a Wrong Turn to Mr. Right novel Chapter 246

She arched her brows mischievously, a grin lighting up her face—clearly delighted to have gotten the upper hand with him.

Ethan Carter smirked, but suddenly, Olivia Bennett winced, her brows knitting as she let out a small gasp.

Immediately, Ethan’s smile vanished. He leaned in, concern etched all over his face. “What’s wrong?”

Olivia rubbed her belly, a playful glint in her eye. “The baby just kicked me.”

Ethan let out a relieved breath. This had been happening more and more lately, but each time, he still found himself on edge.

“He’s helping me scold you, telling you off for picking on me,” Olivia teased, laughter bubbling up.

“I admit it, I was wrong. I won’t tease you anymore,” Ethan replied, playing along as he gently scooped her up. “Come on, let’s get you comfy for a nap.”

New Year’s Eve arrived before they knew it.

Elaine Carter made it home just in time, rolling in with her usual excitement the day before the holiday.

When Olivia woke up that morning, the world outside was blanketed in white, soft snowflakes still drifting lazily from the sky.

Olivia grinned, lingering at the window for a few more moments before finally heading downstairs.

They’d barely finished breakfast when Elaine bounded over, grinning ear to ear. “Olivia! It’s snowing! Let’s go outside and play!”

Olivia’s interest was piqued, but before she could answer, Adelina Lane shot Elaine a look. “Don’t go getting Olivia into trouble. She doesn’t need to be slipping and falling.”

Olivia hesitated immediately.

Ethan reached for her hand. “If you want to go, let’s go.”

She shook her head, uncertain. “Maybe I’d better not…”

Adelina did have a point.
