140 Delivery of a Bouquet of Roses
The butler who was beside Nathan couldn’t help but sigh as he thought about it. Just then, Ella and Christian went downstairs together.
Compared to the gloomy Nathan, Christian looked happy now. He was very satisfied when he saw the necklace around Ella’s neck, like giving a label to Ella’s body.
As the two of them entered the dining room together, Nathan said, “Father, I still don’t want this old woman to marry another man.”
He still couldn’t accept yesterday’s decision.
Although he could accept that Ella would not be married to him because their ages were very far apart, Nathan was still reluctant at the thought of Ella getting married to another man.
If he couldn’t have Ella, no one else could.
“She promised me she would not marry anyone. She will be your babysitter for life.” Christian pulled up his chair and sat casually. Without looking at Ella, he had already determined Ella’s future without asking for her approval first.
Ella immediately came closer to him and whispered, “Who wants to be a babysitter for life?”
“Then what do you want to do?” Nathan seemed interested. He completely agreed with his father’s words. It’s okay even if he couldn’t marry Ella, as long as Ella stayed by his side forever.
.....
Ella thought for a moment and said, “Maybe become a celeb?”
Ella felt her appearance was good enough to be an artist. She could also act. At least her acting was much better than people like Merry and Indri.
“No. If you become an artist with a performance like this, you’ll be embarrassing yourself!” Nathan immediately refused.
If this old lady became a star, there would be many others who liked her and wanted her. Nathan didn’t want that to happen.
Ella couldn’t help but frown when she heard Nathan’s words. She was really that bad that Nathan insulted her appearance.
But when she saw Christian’s wrinkled face, she immediately fell silent. The man also thought the same thing as Nathan.
If Ella became an actress, for example, there would be a lot of men who wanted her. That’s not a good thing for them.
The calm atmosphere in the dining room did not last long. A maid came with a big bouquet of flowers with a red face. “Miss, someone came and sent you ninety-nine roses. How romantic,” said the maid with a hint of envy.
Ella wanted to ask, but she could feel the gloomy aura from Christian and Nathan. Ella immediately swallowed back her words and placed the flower in front of her.
The atmosphere in the room immediately felt heavy.
Ella looked at the rose in front of her and her hand gripped the spoon tighter.
No one spoke. And the silence made Ella even more uncomfortable. She swallowed hard, not knowing what to say.
After a while, Nathan finally put down his spoon in annoyance and pushed the bowl away. “I don’t want to eat!”
Roses. Of course Nathan understood what that meant.
Ella looked at Nathan helplessly. Meanwhile, Christian looked at her coldly and said, “Don’t you want to see who gave it to you?”
“No need. I don’t like roses.” Ella smiled. After that, she pushed the flower in front of Christian. “Maybe this flower is for you. After all, there are so many people who like you. Maybe someone sent it for you.”
Ella was shaking. She put down her spoon and wanted to take this opportunity to escape. But suddenly, a card fell in front of her.
‘Isabella, I am willing to wait for you all my life. One day, we will board our ship together.’
Ella was surprised to see the contents.
This bouquet of roses was delivered by Liam!
When they were little, Liam told her he would take Ella on a cruise.
It was their childhood dream.
At that time, he also said that they were meant to be together. They were childhood friends who would be lovers for life.
In the past, Ella believed him. She believed him because she was very young.
But now, those were just past memories.
Why was Liam still stuck in the past? Ella had changed. She was no longer the same girl she used to be.
Christian took the card and read its contents. The curve at the corner of his lips became even more dangerous.
“Who gave it to you?”
“I don’t know.” Ella shook her head and looked confused. “I’m always at home, I don’t know who sent it.”
That means, she never went out and made trouble with other people or flirted with other men.
“He has no chance,” Christian immediately tore the card and threw it in the trash. “You are mine.”
Ella didn’t know what to say.
After connecting with Christian, she realized that Christian was different from what the rumors said about him.
Christian was mean, but he could be gentle at times. Ella didn’t understand whether his gentle nature was genuine or just him wanting to test her.
Ella didn’t understand Christian’s volatile character.
“If you want to get on the ship, we can go.” Christian added as he threw the roses bouquet in the trash.
Ella had remained silent since earlier.
Meanwhile, Nathan couldn’t understand why his father suddenly wanted to board a ship. But according to him, the plan sounded fun.
He was really interested in going on a ship with the old woman. So he got up and replied, “I want to go too.”
Christian immediately nodded. “Fine then.”
Ella had completely lost her appetite for food. She had no appetite when she saw the breakfast in front of her.
Should she find Liam and talk to him?
What Liam was doing was even making it difficult for her. Didn’t Liam know that she was trying to protect her from Christian.
But Liam continued to approach her and made her position even more difficult.
But before she could figure out how to talk to Liam about this matter, a servant came back with another bouquet of roses.
“Miss, roses for you.” The previous delivery scared the maid. She knew that her master and young master were both displeased when Ella got flowers.
She immediately put the flower down and left the dining room.
Meanwhile, Ella looked at the rose with a stunned look.
Why did she suddenly get two bouquets of flowers in a day? Was she that attractive?
She didn’t want to irritate the father and son duo any longer, so Ella immediately took the bouquet and threw it in the trash.
