Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

However, the man’s words made Ella and Christian pensive.

Boyfriend…

Sounds really… fun.

Unfortunately, that kind of relationship did not suit them. Currently, Christian and Ella themselves did not know what to label their relationship with.

They couldn’t be considered as lovers, because there was no statement between them that required them to commit to each other.

But even so, with his possessiveness, Christian wouldn’t let Ella get close to another man.

So what exactly was the relationship between them?

For Christian, Ella was his. But for Ella, her relationship with Christian was one without status.

.....

Christian looked at Ella, not knowing what to say.

Liam said that he had to give status to his relationship with Ella because of the insecurity she felt in her heart. Therefore, Christian was thinking about marriage.

But he forgot that before it, there was one more process they missed, which was dating.

Looks like they have to go through that process first.

Christian frowned, wanting to ask Ella if she wanted to be his girlfriend. But the current situation was very inappropriate for them.

He must find a romantic time and place. Otherwise, Ella would reject him and embarrass him.

“Let’s go home,” when Ella heard those two words in her ears, she felt relieved, but also a little disappointed.

She felt a dilemma.

There was a small part of her heart that wanted love from Christian. But she dared not touch that side. Because once she touched it and felt the love she hadn’t felt in a long time, she would have a hard time forgetting it.

She followed Christian to the car. Her gaze was fixed outside the window, gazing at the sight.

“When are you going to make me fall in love with you?” Christian asked suddenly.

Ella raised her eyebrows and looked at Christian.

Was it something she could arrange? Wasn’t that something Christian had to decide for himself?

“Can’t you be more active, like taking the initiative to marry me?” Christian asked anxiously.

When he remembered about the man who owned the studio and the men who approached Ella, Christian got irritated.

Ella looked at Christian in bewilderment without answering the man’s question.

Marriage was something very sacred to her. She did not want to enter the world of marriage easily.

She was afraid.

“Answer me,” Christian said, gripping the steering wheel tightly. When dealing with Ella, he always had trouble controlling his emotions.

Ella seemed to be struggling with her own thoughts and finally said, “Let’s just be like this for now.”

She didn’t know how Christian felt about her and she didn’t know how long these feelings would last. This feeling was still new so it felt fresh. But what if time had passed long enough?

What if she was already married to Christian and became Mrs. Adipamungkas, but Christian didn’t want her anymore?

What if the guy got tired of her?

“What do you mean? Are you rejecting me?” Christian stopped his car and parked it on the side of the road, turning his head to look at Ella.

He was afraid that if he got angry at this woman, he would lose his concentration on driving. He was afraid that he could not control his emotions and that an accident would be inevitable.

“I’m only 23, Christian,” Ella replied with a helpless sigh.

“Are you going to remind me that I am older than you?” Christian’s eyes were fixed on Ella. “Just because I’m five years older than you, you don’t want to marry me?”

“No. I’m still young and want to enjoy my youth,” Ella answered carelessly. In fact, she was just not ready to open her heart. She was not ready to accept marriage in her life.

She wasn’t ready to be hurt a second time.

“Then, when do you want to get married?” Christian asked patiently.

It didn’t matter if he had to wait. As long as Ella stayed by his side, nothing was different. But Christian also remembered Liam’s words asking him to give Ella the right status.

Ella tilted her head and said, “When I’m 26 or 27 maybe.”

“Ella!” The man’s scream echoed in the car. “I will have been 30 by then! Do you want to let me grow old so I can’t find a wife and become the laughing stock of the crowd?”

The thing Christian was afraid of was, would Ella’s heart not change in 3 years?

Ella covered her ears and said, “Even though you are already 40 years old, no one dares to laugh at you.”

Christian was so rich and powerful that the news of his marriage would be all the more shocking. Everyone didn’t look forward to that day because they still wanted the opportunity.

Christian was silent. He restarted the car and drove it home.

He decided to give Ella some time. But he didn’t want to wait too long.

Silently, Ella watched Christian along the way. She didn’t know what Christian was thinking right now but she said, “Christian, thank you…”

Thanks for what?

Thanking Christian for waiting for her? Or because Christian didn’t force her?

Christian immediately turned and looked at Ella for her sudden gratitude. “If you thank me, marry me.”

Ella frowned.

Can’t they chat peacefully?

“I thank you for picking me up.”

Ella knew that Christian was holding back his anger right now and decided to consider her feelings so that Ella felt touched.

But there’s no way Ella could say it out loud, right?

“Hmm…” Christian replied without looking at Ella again. His car immediately drove to his house quickly.

They spent enough time on the streets that by the time they got home, dinner was already served on the table. Even the food had been warmed because Christian and Ella had not been home before.

The waiting butler wondered, would the relationship between Christian and Ella improve drastically tonight? Of course he also wanted to help.

Once out of the car, they did not go straight to the dining table. Christian invited Ella to her new studio instead.

He wanted to give a surprise that he had prepared.

Currently, Nathan was playing with the painting tools in the room.

He had just recovered from an illness so the butler didn’t let him out of the house. He could only wander around the house alone.

Apart from the pencils in the room, Nathan did not know how to use the painting tools. Holding his cell phone, he searched for the use of each tool one by one.

The door to the room suddenly opened. Christian led Ella into the room.

“I prepared all of this for you. Do you like it?”

Ella looked at the room with a surprised look.

This room? For her?

Just as she was about to answer, a child’s voice sounded in her ear.

“Dad, this studio is not for me?” Nathan was very disappointed.

He thought this room was his new playroom.

Even though he also liked Ella, his father couldn’t have such a favoritism!
