She exhaled lightly.
Ethan's car soon came to a smooth stop in front of Aria's house.
The engine had barely gone quiet before Aria stepped out, moving quickly to the back seat. She gently carried Eliana into her arms, allowing the little girl to rest her head against her shoulder.
"You should let me..."
"Don't worry," Aria cut in immediately, not even giving Ethan the chance to finish. "I'll carry my daughter myself."
Her tone wasn't harsh, but it was firm enough to make her stance clear.
Ethan paused for a second, then gave a small nod. Without arguing further, he picked up the hospital bag instead.
Together, they walked into the house, and he shut the door quietly behind them.
"Mommy!!!"
Rian and Kian's excited voices rang out the moment they saw Aria and Eliana.
"How are you doing, sister?" they added almost at once, their energy bubbling over as they rushed forward.
