Chapter 114
Ella knew that asking Christian for a house made her look like a gold digger. But the house she wanted was not a random house.
Even if Christian wanted to give her a palace, Ella didn’t want it.
What she wanted from the house was nothing but the memories behind it. The house was the only thing her mother left for Ella.
But Ella didn’t plan to tell Christian. There’s no point in telling him either. Instead of hearing his sympathy, the man would insult her and Ella would have to accept Christian’s reproach.
Or maybe Christian won’t believe her.
“Ella, you are too naive!”
Christian pulled her hand roughly. His eyes seemed to be burning with smoldering fire, making Ella feel frightened.
The woman in front of him was truly beautiful and charming. Even in a state of fear, her charm and beauty could not be hidden.
.....
Christian couldn’t help but drag himself closer and closer to this woman.
When he realized that this woman wanted to get out of his house and get away from him, the anger that was stored in the bottom of his heart seemed to explode.
“Does the thing that is most important to you have anything to do with me?”
Ella gaped at the question.
She opened her mouth and then closed it again.
It’s true what Christian said.
There was no point in Ella asking this man for help.
Ella nodded and smiled faintly. “Hmm... I’m sorry.”
Ella thought that after so many days with Christian, their relationship would grow closer. She thought Christian would start to develop some feelings for her. Even if she was just a pet, Christian would at least feel sorry for her.
Unfortunately, her position was not even on par with a pet.
Ella was just expecting too much.
When Christian immediately nodded and agreed to help her, Ella couldn’t believe it. Christian was not that type of person.
How could a man this cold suddenly melt and become a warm man?
Ella felt that this conversation was over. There’s no point in asking Christian for help. She decided to walk into the house.
Christian could only look at Ella’s back who looked lonely.
With clenched fists, he also walked towards the house.
The lights still illuminated the room very brightly.
Nathan was lying on the sofa, boringly tapping the TV remote. He was waiting for the old woman to buy him a prawn snack, but she didn’t come.
It’s been an hour and a half, but the woman hadn’t come home yet.
“Why hasn’t she returned yet...” while Nathan was muttering to himself, the butler who was accompanying Nathan suddenly said in surprise, “Miss, you are back?”
“Old woman?”
Nathan immediately jumped up from the sofa excitedly. He ran to Ella and immediately hugged her with his two tiny hands.
“Old woman, you are finally back!”
Ella immediately crouched down and hugged him back. Meanwhile, Nathan rubbed her head and took a deep breath, feeling Ella’s signature scent that calmed him down.
Then he asked, “Where are my snacks?”
“Your father just called me to take care of work matters, so I haven’t had time to buy it yet,” said Ella while holding Nathan. “How about we go to the supermarket together and buy some?”
Nathan’s body was a little heavy and Ella struggled to carry him, but she still tried.
Ella didn’t know since when she began to depend on Nathan.
Apart from that, she also felt comfortable when she was with this fat boy.
Nathan thought for a moment and then nodded. “Alright, let’s go together.”
Ella smiled and stroked Nathan’s head gently.
Christian saw this incident and felt uncomfortable. Why did it seem like his son’s position was so much higher than his?
But when he saw Ella holding Nathan in her arms, Christian felt like he had a harmonious family.
Never had he felt this way before...
In fact, he had repeated this scene over and over in his mind.
“Butler...”
Christian took off his coat and tie while looking at his butler. “What kind of woman do you think she is?”
Even though Christian doesn’t mention her name, the butler knows who Christian is referring to. He answered politely, “Miss Ella is a very considerate woman. She is very careful and patient in taking care of the Young Master. Even when Young Master is in a bad mood, Miss Ella can easily tell.”
“Besides...” A smile appeared on the middle-aged man’s face. “Don’t you feel that the Young Master is starting to depend on Miss Ella? This is the first time that he has been able to get close to a stranger. He was always wary and didn’t want to open his heart to anyone before.”
Because of his status and upbringing since childhood, Nathan rarely socialized with other people. He didn’t want to have anything to do with strangers.
Apart from that, Nathan had also heard how those women who approached his father badmouthed him in the back. It had hurt him so deeply that he didn’t want to open up to anyone.
However, this was the first time...
“I see...” Christian looked at the butler who hastily lowered his head. The man did not dare to comment anymore.
“Get some rest,” having said that, Christian got to his feet and went upstairs.
He clearly remembered every sentence and judgment that came out of his butler’s mouth. It is undeniable that his son is indeed very close and dependent on Ella now.
At the same time, Ella and Nathan were walking towards the supermarket. As it was getting dark, the street lamps started to glow, making their shadows look long.
Nathan leaned in Ella’s arms for a long time and finally said what was bothering him, “I know you won’t marry my father. Can you promise me that he will not marry another woman?”‘
Ella was surprised, not expecting Nathan to say this suddenly.
“It’s not something that I can change.” Ella smiled and explained patiently. “Nathan, if your father finds a woman who can make him happy, you should be happy with him and wish them both the best.”
Ella stroked Nathan’s head gently. “Why should you worry about this? You’re still very young.”
After that, Nathan no longer discussed this topic.
They immediately bought snacks and returned home because it was already evening. Nathan was not satisfied with the one packet of snacks, but he had promised Ella that he would only eat one.
Finally, he tried to suppress his urge and walked towards his room to sleep.
Ella decided to return to her room. All night, she lay in bed alone, thinking about what had happened today. Tiredness made her more and more sleepy and slowly she was dragged into her deep sleep.
The next day, Ella was very surprised when she opened the gate to Christian’s house.
