148 The Meaning of Loving
“Christian really doesn’t like it when I’m alone with another man, you know. Who knows if you’re putting yourself in danger because... We don’t know how Christian will take his anger out and who will bear the consequence for it later, right?”
Ella didn’t know if what she said was true or not. But the one thing she wanted now was to be left alone.
She needed time to calm herself down.
The bodyguard seemed to have thought about Ella’s words carefully and realized that what she said was true. Christian rarely let Ella out other than to go to the company. And even if Ella went out, the man would always accompany her.
His hands were sweating as soon as he realized that.
He didn’t get a direct order from Christian to follow and protect Ella. The order came from Nathan.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
What if it turned out that the boss didn’t like a man following his woman? What if he got fired for this?
He might be lucky if he just got fired, what if the boss did something more cruelly? Maybe by torturing him or cutting off his flesh for daring to follow this woman.
Cold sweat immediately trickled down the bodyguard’s forehead.
.....
“Have you considered it carefully?” Ella asked, raising her eyebrows.
The guard immediately bowed deeply. “Miss, please be careful. I’ll be back first.” After saying that, the bodyguard immediately walked to the other side.
Ella breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the bodyguard move away from her. Finally she could be free without being watched by anyone.
However, just as she could breathe, suddenly someone grabbed her hand. Ella was completely taken aback by the sudden touch.
Just as she was about to retract her hand, a soft voice sounded in her ear.
“Ella.”
“Liam?” Ella turned and saw Liam’s figure behind her.
The warmth from Liam’s hands made Ella feel a little uncomfortable.
Unlike the passionate Christian, Liam felt soft, like warm water. Not too hot and not too cold, always made her heart feel warm.
Unfortunately, that warmth wasn’t something she needed anymore. The warmth that once made her feel calm, now made her feel panicked.
“You... Are you not going to work?” Turning around, Ella had already covered her face with her usual fake smile.
This had become a habit. No one cared about her actual appearance. Even she herself had almost forgotten what she was like back then.
“I’m tired lately. I want to rest.” Facing Ella’s rejection, Liam’s eyes looked a little sad.
Finally, he let go of Ella’s hand. He didn’t want to corner Ella and make her stay away from him. For Liam, the most important thing was Ella’s happiness.
He didn’t want to make Ella uncomfortable, especially because of him.
“I know,” Ella tried to remain calm. “I’ve been seeing your news a lot lately.”
Ella pulled her hand away and hid it behind her body so Liam couldn’t reach her again. It’s dangerous for someone to see her alone with Liam, let alone holding hands.
“When I was a kid, I never expected you to be such a workaholic,” he said lightly.
“When I was a child, what was I like in your eyes?” Liam added, asking Ella as if trying to remind her of the past.
He couldn’t believe Ella was really that mean to him and erased all memories of him. But Ella knew that deep down in her heart, she still remembered all the memories with Liam.
“You always smile.” Ella thought for a moment and only got that one answer.
In her memory, Liam always smiled and remained calm in the face of anything. In front of everyone, Liam always smiled kindly.
The man was a very warm person in Ella’s eyes.
Only towards her did he often show various other expressions.
Happy, sad, disappointed, angry, excited...
Only Ella knew Liam inside and out.
When he heard Ella’s answer, the corners of his lips curled into a warm smile. “I didn’t think you would remember it.”
“Of course I remember.” Ella also smiled. “Because Liam, you are my best friend.”
After Ella fell from heaven to hell, Liam was the only person who treated her the same as before.
Now everyone looked at her with one eye. Her family didn’t even want to look at her anymore and thought of her as a stranger.
Meanwhile in Liam’s eyes, Ella was still the innocent Ella she used to be. Even now, Ella’s heart was no longer clean. Now Ella’s heart was filled with vengeance and darkness.
She must have revenge.
How could Ella ever forget Liam?
Ella’s words were like a knife that pierced his heart and made his heart bleed. Best friend? Couldn’t their relationship be more than that?
He left just so he could be a man who deserved to be by Ella’s side.
He went on his journey to become a better person.
Who would’ve known that his decision was a big mistake.
He was gone too long and too late to return so he had to lose the woman he loved most in this world.
His hands were clenched tightly into fists, opened again and clenched into fists again, not knowing what to do.
“Ella, we’ll always be best friends,” Liam said in a warm voice.
It’s just entertainment in itself. How could he let Ella be with Christian?
He would take Ella back from that man.
At some point later....
Right now, the only thing Liam could do was to be Ella’s best friend. Be a person who was always there whenever Ella needed him.
And at the right time, he would free Ella from Christian’s hands.
Ella didn’t know what Liam was thinking right now. She just nodded with a relieved heart that Liam didn’t keep pushing her.
After that, an awkward atmosphere spread between the two of them, a feeling they had never felt before. They were silent for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Finally, it was Ella who spoke first. “If there’s nothing, I’ll go home first. If I stay out too long, Christian won’t be happy.”
“Ella...” As soon as she turned around, Liam couldn’t help but call out to Ella. He didn’t want to let Ella go.
If Ella looked happy together with another man, maybe Liam would give up. The most important thing for him in this world was not his happiness, but the happiness of those he loved.
Because for Liam, loving someone doesn’t mean you have to own them.
To love was to let Ella be happy, even if she was not with him. Letting Ella be happy, even if she had to be with another man.
But why didn’t Ella look fine?
“Is he really that good to you?”
The person he remembered was a cheerful girl, with eyes that always sparkled when she looked at the world, but her heart was always gentle when dealing with everyone around her.
But now, why couldn’t he feel Ella’s former existence?
Why had this woman in front of him become a reclusive figure, trying to protect herself within her own shell, as if no one in this world could help her.
“I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
Ella waved her hand, not intending to stay there. As if to tell Liam that she was fine, she took a firmer step.
Liam didn’t want to let Ella go like this. However, just as he was about to catch up with her, someone stopped him.
“Liam, do you remember me?”
