51 What Kind of Woman
Christian and Ella looked at each other for a long time. The man’s hand was still outstretched towards the woman but Ella remained silent, not taking his palm.
His gaze was still fixed on Christian’s face who was looking back at her.
The sun was shining so hot, Ella felt her breath getting heavier. Her heart was beating faster and faster.
The man in front of her looked very dazzling. He was so charming, as if a god, not a human.
Subconsciously, her hand lifted up and touched Christian’s warm fingertips.
It felt so peaceful. Being with Christian... made her feel safe.
The corners of her lips subconsciously curved into a smile, making Ella even more beautiful in the sun.
Christian was stunned when he saw this sight in front of him. It had been a long time since he had last seen someone showing a pure smile in front of him.
Ella’s smile was so sincere and innocent. It’s the kind that’s without pretense. A smile that comes from the heart.
.....
“Let’s go back.”
Ella got up from the ground with the help of Christian’s outstretched hand. Once she got to her feet, Ella held Christian’s hand tighter, trying to show that she could walk on her own, without needing his help.
But Christian didn’t want to let go.
He knew Ella was an adult and could walk on her own, but he still wanted to hold her hand now.
Seeing Christian’s calm appearance, Ella knew Nathan was fine. There’s no way this man would look this calm if he didn’t know where his son was.
Then they both walked back to the house. And as soon as she entered the living room, Ella saw the figure of the fat child she had been looking for.
Nathan was sitting on the sofa casually, eating fruit as if nothing had happened before.
As if he hadn’t just run away. As if he didn’t make Ella run to find him with her body still sore from last night.
Seeing this, Ella’s lips twitched involuntarily.
Apparently, this fat kid ran so fast, faster than Ella’s shadow.
“Oh, are you finally back, old hag?” When he realized that Ella was in the same room as him, Nathan turned his head.
As he said that, he looked at Ella’s face. Ella’s face was so calm, it was as if the worry Nathan had seen earlier was just an illusion.
Seeing the calmness on that face, Nathan immediately pouted. He was annoyed!
But a second later, his anger turned to sadness. He clearly sulked, and it was visible on his face.
Liar! This woman must’ve pretended that she was looking for him!
Look, she’s not worried at all!
This woman was just like any other woman...
Then, his eyes fell on Ella and Christian’s intertwined hands.
“What are you doing?” Nathan didn’t care about his food anymore. He jumped off the couch and pointed at Ella. “You said you didn’t want to marry my father, but why did you take his hand? Quickly let go!”
Nathan was so angry, like a little lion with his hair messy all over the place.
Ella didn’t answer. Christian was the one who took her hand.
She didn’t know what to do now because she couldn’t let go of Christian’s hand that gripped hers tightly. In addition, she was also afraid that Nathan’s words would offend Christian.
If Christian’s mood worsened again, she would suffer the consequences!
Christian’s eyes suddenly looked serious. He knew his son wouldn’t lie or joke about saying something like this. So, in other words, Nathan heard all that from Ella.
Ella felt that she couldn’t have more hope.
Christian should feel happy and at ease with a woman like Ella, a woman who didn’t bind him with hope. But strangely, he felt uncomfortable.
His hand gripped Ella’s hand tighter, as if he didn’t want to let go.
Ella didn’t understand what made Christian’s mood worse now. But she didn’t want to ask either. She allowed Christian to vent his frustration.
By the time Christian let go, her hand was numb.
Nathan waited long enough for Christian to finally let go of Ella’s hand. He immediately felt happy and walked towards his father’s side. “Father, don’t marry this evil woman, okay?”
“In that case, what kind of woman do you want me to marry?” Christian asked suddenly.
Nathan shook his head honestly. “I don’t know.”
What he knew was, all the women who approached his father were not sincere. They were all liars and they didn’t love him. Nathan did not want these women to be his mother.
Ella looked at the two people in front of her, one old and one young. They both looked like they were annoyed with the same problem.
“What are you talking about? I want to eat.”
Ella was not at all interested in this father-son conversation. But she couldn’t lie that in her heart, there was a slight discomfort.
She rubbed her chest, as if trying to keep her thoughts straight.
She didn’t deserve to expect more from Christian. All this time, she had never been the real Ella in front of the man...
Finally, she decided to go to the dining room. One of the maids who saw her immediately served breakfast for her. After thanking her, Ella immediately ate it voraciously.
She was really hungry!
After breakfast, she planned to take a walk in the park. However, as she passed the living room, she saw the man who was supposed to go to work was sitting on the sofa casually drinking coffee.
She looked at the clock on the wall and asked confusedly, “Not going to work?”
“I was waiting for you,” the words made Ella’s hair stand on end. The man in front of her was angry again!
Realizing this, Ella rushed over to Christian and smiled as she took his arm. “I didn’t know you were waiting for me.”
She tilted her head and smiled.
Christian raised his hand and held Ella’s chin. He had seen all kinds of women before, but he had never seen a woman like this before.
Ella could be spoiled, independent, brave, and timid at the same time. And all of those personalities came together, forming her unique self.
“Stay by my side.”
Christian’s hand caressed Ella’s chin gently. There was a hidden threat behind his words.
“Aren’t I by your side now?”
Being next to Ella, Christian could smell her distinctive scent, mixed with the same soapy scent he used. This scent reminded him of what they did last night.
“I want you to promise one thing.”
“Don’t be so hard on me. Maybe I can do that.”
Ella said it in a soft voice, but she didn’t dare to move. Right now, Christian was still holding her chin.
“I promise and I will not break my promise.”
The words came out of Ella’s mouth, but what was in her heart was the opposite of what came out of her mouth.
When she’s done taking revenge on her family, why should she be by Christian’s side? Should she just wait for Christian to kick her out?
She had spent too much time in the mental hospital.
She had spent her youth in places she could never have imagined.
She had missed a lot of things.
And when it’s all over, she will live her life like a normal woman.
