Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

The direct question from Christian took Ella by surprise.

She knew how much Christian doubted her. Then, what was the meaning of this question?

Is this a test?

Just as Ella was contemplating the right answer, Christian had already asked sarcastically. “You want jewelry?”

Ella looked at Christian coldly. Even though she was poor and penniless, did she look like such a greedy woman?

Maybe that’s how Christian saw her.

Ella didn’t know if this answer would make Christian think worse of her. But it seemed that the man’s impression towards her was already very bad.

Fine then...

.....

Ella shook her head and said, “I want a house.”

She wanted her mother’s house.

“You want to move out?” Christian looked somber.

Ella didn’t notice the expression on Christian’s face. Right now, she was thinking about the house her mother left her. After all this was over, she had to get out of Christian’s house.

She had to go and live her own life.

In the end, she would live in that house.

If she had to name the one thing she regretted the most in her life, Ella would say that she was truly sorry that she didn’t have time to be devoted to her mother.

She couldn’t remember what her mother looked like, and she had gone before she could even make her happy.

The only thing that remained in her memory was when her mother hummed a tune the day before she died.

After that day, Merry came along with Indri.

Merry had also been humming tunes when she was at home, but her voice was not as beautiful as her mother’s.

While thinking about this, Ella subconsciously sank into her memories.

Christian looked at the woman in front of him. He knew that at this moment, Ella’s mind had moved to her own world.

Christian frowned.

He didn’t like seeing her this way.

He didn’t like it when she disappeared from before him.

“Don’t daydream.”

Those two words made Ella instantly wake up from her daydream.

Ella looked at the man in front of her, but she could only swallow all the words she was about to say back into her mouth. She had to stay calm.

Silently, she frowned.

If Christian didn’t mean to give her what she wanted, why should she ask?

If Christian didn’t ask, she wouldn’t ask for anything.

What a strange man.

But Ella didn’t want to miss this opportunity either. This was the first time Christian had taken the initiative to ask her something.

At least, Christian had the desire to make her happy.

“Christian, haven’t we made a contract? As long as you agree to cooperate with me, you must not refuse my request.”

Ella hugged Christian’s arm and smiled sweetly at him.

The agreement between them was clearly written and Ella would not allow herself to suffer.

“Do you think I have accepted you?” Christian looked at her coldly. “If you’re ready to explain your relationship with Haikal, come back to me.”

Ella looked at Christian in disbelief.

Did this mean that all her efforts had been useless?

Everything she did... Was it all in vain?

Christian asked for an explanation from her. But every time she explained, Christian wouldn’t believe her.

A feeling of helplessness rose in Ella’s heart. She took a deep breath and finally nodded. “Okay. Then I...”

“You can only stay at my house,” Christian said firmly. “You are my son’s babysitter and you have no money.”

“Hmm...” Ella immediately agreed. It’s true what Christian said. She had no money. The place where she lived was also not good.

If she lived alone, she still had to try to feed herself.

Staying at Christian’s house was the best choice.

Ella smiled at Christian. “Then, I’ll go home first.”

Compared to facing this cold man, Ella was better off dealing with that naughty fat kid.

At the same time, she also found a way to take care of Laras.

Laras existence really threatened her. Christian trusted his secretary too much.

“Hmm...” Christian replied.

He walked over to his desk and sat down in his chair, but his eyes were still on Ella’s figure, more specifically on the bandages around her head.

He knew that Ella was in pain right now. But he couldn’t control his emotions whenever he thought of Ella having a relationship with Haikal.

Perhaps it would be best if he calmed himself down for a few days.

...

Once back at Christian’s house, the first person Ella saw was Nathan.

Nathan was wearing casual clothes. His hands were in his trouser pockets as he looked at Ella.

Because of his father, he couldn’t see Ella recently.

Actually, he felt a little guilty and wanted to know Ella’s condition.

But when he thought that it was Ella who contacted another man first, Nathan felt a little less guilty.

Even so, the fat kid was still worried about her.

Nathan looked at Ella’s head which was wrapped in a bandage with a frown. After that, he looked at the butler who was beside him. “Why is her head like that?”

How long had Nathan not seen this old woman?

They had only been apart for a while but the old woman was already suffering. She could not survive alone it seemed, especially without him.

“Maybe she accidentally got hurt.” The butler decided to lie.

The problem between Christian and Ella was too complicated and he couldn’t explain it to a 5 year old.

Nathan nodded at the answer. With his short legs, he walked towards Ella. “Old woman, you embarrass me!”

Ella’s lips twitched hearing that. Can’t this fat kid say something nice for once?

After all, she was like this because of this fat kid.

However, Ella couldn’t be angry at him.

Nathan didn’t wait for Ella to speak. He thought he felt sorry and guilty so he continued, “Without this young master, you can’t do anything. See, you hurt yourself.”

After that, he cleared his throat to show his authority. “From now on, you can’t stay away from me. I will protect you, do you understand?”

“Okay.” A feeling she had never felt before, rose in Ella’s heart.

Ella wasn’t that fond of children. She didn’t like children and didn’t care about them.

However, listening to this fat boy’s words... the sadness and suffering that hurt her heart seemed to disappear.

Nathan’s shrill voice still rang in her ears. “Look at her. She is my babysitter, but she can’t be as good as her master.” He said, seeking approval from the butler.

“That’s right, young master.”

The butler nodded helplessly and then looked at Ella with an apologetic look.

Ella just nodded her head with a smile. She understood that the butler could do nothing in front of this little master.

She understood Nathan’s character. On the surface, Nathan acted like a demon lord, but inside, his heart was much softer and more fragile than anyone.
