Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

Chapter 108

108 Just Returned

“Ella?”

Ella was surprised to hear the voice. How long had she not heard this voice?

There was doubt in her heart when she heard a voice she hadn’t heard in a long time. She didn’t dare turn around and look at the person’s face. She was afraid...

Time was passing, neither of them moved. Ella still insisted she didn’t want to face the man.

However, the man was just as stubborn. He did not want to give up nor move from his place.

“Is it really you, Ella?” The man stepped forward and took Ella’s hand. When he saw Ella’s face, his face looked gentle.

“Long time no see.” When he said that, he immediately hugged Ella’s body. His face looked very relieved and happy, as if he was hugging the most precious treasure in his life.

Ella’s eyes felt hot when she felt her body getting embraced. Her throat tightened and she couldn’t say anything.

She still remembered that before she was 13 years old, her life was filled with this man in front of her.

.....

If there was someone he couldn’t forget in her life, it was this person.

William Jaya.

“Liam...” Finally, Ella said his name with her slightly trembling lips.

“I’m here.” Liam hugged her again with a joyful look on his face.

Luckily, Ella remembered him.

It’d been 10 years since he left this town. It took a very long time before he could get Ella out of his heart and move on with his life.

Back then, he was still too weak and too childish to be with Ella.

Their current position attracted the attention of many people so finally, Liam took Ella’s hand and pulled her aside before looking intently at the face of the woman in front of him.

“You’ve grown now.”

Liam raised his hand and stroked Ella’s head.

His comment made Ella laugh. She looked at Liam who was smiling in front of her and couldn’t help but gently smack him on the shoulder.

“When did you come back?”

“I just came back to Indonesia yesterday.”

Liam couldn’t help but ask Ella. “Yesterday I went to your family’s house, but they said...”

Once back in Indonesia, the first person Liam looked for was Ella. But unfortunately, he couldn’t find Ella at her family’s house.

“I have humiliated the Maheswara Family so they kick me out of the house.”

Ella’s still calm appearance made Liam’s heart ache. How much suffering had she endured on her own all this time?

He sent his men to investigate Ella overnight.

From the results of the investigation, he could see how much suffering Ella felt alone.

If he were to stand in her shoes, he wouldn’t be able to endure the pain of getting mistreated by his own family. Now that he looked at her, Ella was sure a strong woman.

How could a woman like Ella be able to keep up with those people?

“Ella, I’m late.” Liam held Ella’s hand with regretful eyes.

If only he had known Ella would suffer like this, he would not have chosen to go abroad. At that moment, he just wanted to get stronger so that Ella could look at him with admiration.

“Why?” Ella withdrew her hand and looked at Liam. “I’m glad to see you now.”

Seeing that Ella was pulling away from him, Liam felt a little hurt. But that expression disappeared very quickly.

He understood Ella’s nature and decided not to put too much pressure on her. However, would Ella still be willing to wait for him now?

“You must have suffered a lot.”‘

Liam took a deep breath with a heart full of bitterness. At this point, he didn’t know what to say. It had been 10 years since he had been gone and there were so many things he wanted to say to Ella. But after he met Ella, he couldn’t say anything.

Ella shook her head. “I’m fine. It is all over.” She shrugged nonchalantly. The smile on her face was as bright as ever.

This was how Ella was in his memory, always facing any hardships coming her way with courage.

“Ella, there’s no need to force yourself in front of me.”

Liam could see that Ella was trying to hide her feelings.

Years had passed, even though Ella had been in a mental hospital for five years and changed, Liam could still see that Ella was just pretending.

He could see through everything with just one glance.

Liam always put Ella in his heart, that’s why he could understand the meaning behind every little movement that Ella made.

Hearing Liam’s words, tears suddenly flowed from Ella’s eyes.

But she still looked at him stubbornly. “I’m fine.”

She had worked hard and she would soon get back what was rightfully hers. She believed she would be happy.

“Ella, I’m really sorry.”

Liam couldn’t control his feelings right now. He took Ella’s hand and asked her to get out of the supermarket.

The sun was almost setting. The sky showed a red color like it was burning and slowly losing its light.

Ella looked at the man who was currently holding her hand.

This man hadn’t changed at all.

Liam was always gentle and considerate to her. His strong hand gripped her tightly, making her heart beat faster.

Unfortunately, Ella had changed.

She had experienced so much in her life and had learned a lot. Now she’s much calmer than before.

Liam took her for a walk towards the residential park before stopping there.

Ella knew Liam wanted to say something, but the man remained silent for a long time.

She could only wait for Liam in silence.

The strength of the hand gripping her tightly increased, causing Ella to wince. From the grip of that hand, she could already guess what the man wanted to ask.

“Ella, how did you get to know Christian?”

Liam looked at her worriedly. “I heard he was cruel and merciless, he’s not a good man. Is he looking for trouble with you? Did he force you to stay with him?”

“No, it’s my own will.” Ella replied calmly.

“You...” Liam looked at her in disbelief. After that, he tried to calm himself down. “Just forget it. I know you must have a reason for everything you do. But I don’t want you to be hurt by your decision. Back then, you...”

Liam stopped talking and decided to change the subject. “What is your number?”

Ella remembered that her cellphone was thrown in the trash. With a bitter smile on her face, she said, “My phone... I accidentally lost it today.”

Liam smiled at that. “You are still the same as before. Losing stuff.”

The two of them chatted for a while before finally parting ways. When she returned to Christian’s house, Ella realized that she forgot the snack she bought for Nathan!
