“Why are you being so harsh to a child? Nathan did this out of consideration for your happiness. Can’t you just be a little nicer to him?”
Ella looked at Christian with a fierce face, disapproving of the fact that the man had frightened his own son.
She could even feel Nathan’s body shaking.
After saying that, Ella patted Nathan on the back gently. “It’s okay. Don’t be afraid. I will protect you.”
While listening to Ella’s consolation, Nathan could only nod.
Christian’s face became even more grim seeing all this happening.
If his son was thinking about his happiness, shouldn’t he want his father to marry and find his happiness instead? But Nathan wanted him to be single for the rest of his life. Dying alone and lonely…
“Ella, is there something wrong with your brain?” Christian said angrily.
Ella shook her head. Looking at Christian, she said, “I hope you will also consider Nathan’s feelings.”
.....
Ella’s serious voice made Christian even more displeased.
Did he look like he didn’t care about Nathan? He cared deeply for Nathan.
For him, his son was also one of his priorities in this life. And he did not choose any woman to be his partner. He didn’t want Nathan to suffer.
But didn’t his son really love Ella? If Ella became his mother, Nathan would be very happy.
Christian exited the room looking annoyed, leaving Ella and Nathan alone. Ella took a chair for Nathan and sat him down while still trying to calm him down.
The sadness that Nathan felt earlier immediately disappeared. He asked Ella to teach him to paint.
As soon as Christian left the studio, the butler greeted him immediately. “Master, dinner is ready.”
Today, he specially prepared a candle light dinner for Christian and Ella. He had decorated the dining room with candles and made the room feel more romantic.
Unfortunately, Christian did not appreciate his efforts at all. He just looked at him coldly and walked towards the dining room.
The butler followed behind and asked, “Won’t you take Miss Ella with you?”
Thinking about the woman who kept giving him headaches, Christian pursed his lips in annoyance. “Don’t mind her.”
The butler took a deep breath. He didn’t know what made Christian and Ella fight again. But now, it was too late to tidy up the candle light dinner that had been neatly presented on the table.
Christian walked into the dining room and saw the romantically decorated dinner. On the table, there were two steaks with various other entrees. Even the butler had already opened a bottle of wine.
“Sir, I’ll have someone take care of it,” the butler said quickly, worried that Christian would be angry at his initiative.
Christian looked at the table and said, “No need. Call Ella here.”
“Yes sir,” the butler didn’t dare to wait any longer so he rushed to call Ella.
Ella and Nathan were still in the studio, drawing fruit with pencils. Since Nathan couldn’t draw properly, Ella finally showed him how to draw.
“Old woman, you are so amazing!” Nathan said with a look of admiration, making Ella feel very proud of the compliment.
During this time, no one had praised her sincerely like this. Nathan was the second person to acknowledge her painting ability after Luca.
The butler knocked on the door and approached the two of them. “Miss, Master invites you to eat. Young master, how about we go back to the room?”
Nathan wanted to ask why he wasn’t invited to eat with his father and Ella. But as he recalled his father’s hideous face, he decided to remain silent.
He nodded and looked at Ella worriedly. “Old woman, if my father bullies you again, tell me. I’m not afraid of him!”
“I understand.” Ella stroked Nathan’s head gently. “You rest first. Sleep well.”
When Ella arrived at the dining room, she was surprised by how romantic the room turned out to be.
Did Christian prepare all this?
But what Christian said and what he did were the complete opposite. He was a tough guy, he didn’t look like a guy who could do anything romantic.
“Come here.”
Christian saw Ella stop walking. Finally, he called out to her because Ella hadn’t moved in quite a while.
Did this stupid woman need to be called over to eat?
Ella walked over to Christian and sat down obediently. They weren’t too far apart so she could feel the cold aura emanating from Christian’s body.
“Are you afraid that I will eat you?”
Christian’s words might have been said casually, but the threat made Ella’s heart tighten.
She moistened her lips and asked, “Did you prepare all this?”
Ella suddenly felt guilty.
Christian had prepared a surprise for her which was a new studio and a candle light dinner. But Ella only cared about Nathan and completely ignored Christian.
Christian wanted to tell Ella the truth that he wasn’t the one who prepared all this. But seeing Ella’s appearance, he finally just snorted. He didn’t feel guilty at all even though he was lying.
He just wanted Ella to think about him a little more and treat him well.
Unknowingly, Christian felt a little jealous of his son.
Ella lowered her head and said, “Thank you.”
The light from the candle shone on Ella’s face, making her eyes look bright like clear lake water.
Christian got up and went to Ella, took her hand and asked, “Why won’t you marry me?” His low voice made Ella feel nervous.
“I don’t want to make Nathan sad,” Ella answered honestly.
“Then, do you have the heart to leave me alone for the rest of my life?”
“Hah?” Christian’s pleading voice made Ella unable to react. She had never seen Christian like this before.
Christian only realized what he was saying after the words left his mouth. He let go of Ella’s hand and cleared his throat to cover his awkwardness. “Just forget it.”
He let go of Ella’s hand and returned to his seat. The atmosphere in the room grew even more awkward.
Suddenly, Ella remembered the black card Christian gave her this afternoon. She ran into the living room and took the card which was still neatly tucked away in her bag. After that, she rushed back into the dining room and handed the card to Christian.
“I don’t need it.”
“If I give it to you, you just have to accept it.” Christian was displeased with the refusal.
Just as Ella was about to argue again, her cell phone suddenly rang.
She saw who was calling her and raised her eyebrows in surprise. Why did Luca suddenly contact her at this time of night?
As soon as she picked up the call, Luca’s worried voice was heard from the other side.
“Ella, what happened? Why did you get a subpoena?”
