141 Asking for Roses
After receiving the second bouquet of roses, Ella immediately took it and threw it in the trash without seeing the sender’s name.
“You’re trying to cover it up!” Christian looked at Ella suspiciously.
Ella could only shrug her shoulders. “I really don’t know who sent it.”
The only person she wanted to protect right now was Liam. If the first flower was from Liam, this second flower was definitely not from him. Therefore, Ella didn’t care about it.
Nathan couldn’t wait to hear the conversation between Christian and Ella. He got down from his chair and walked straight to the flower that had been thrown away. He found a card on it and read every word seriously.
“Isabella, falling in love with you is my greatest happiness. Can you come back to me again? I love you forever.”
After reading it, his body immediately shuddered. The hairs on his neck stood up!
That sentence is so disgusting. Even a 5 year old child like Nathan is disgusted. How could this person write it down?
Upon hearing this, Christian’s face immediately darkened.
.....
“It seems he loves you very much.”
Christian had brought Ella to meet Haikal, but he didn’t expect that Haikal didn’t know his place.
Ella rolled her eyes and took the card from Nathan’s hand to tear it.
“If he loved me, he wouldn’t have done that to me five years ago. I’m not blind. I can see who is sincere to me and who is not.”
Ella lowered her body and stroked Nathan’s head. “Isn’t that right, fat boy?”
Nathan immediately nodded his head excitedly. He was very obedient to Ella now.
Just like Ella, Christian had no appetite even after he saw that the table was full of various breakfast menus.
This woman would never be able to see how good he’d been to her!
When she was injured, who helped her to treat the wound?
And who gave her the necklace around her neck now?
Even though Nathan had bought so many clothes for her yesterday, the money he wasted came from Christian.
But what did this woman do? She didn’t even say thank you at all.
“Right, you’re better,” Ella kissed Nathan’s plump cheek and then showed him the dress she was wearing.
“Doesn’t this dress look nice? You bought it for me yesterday.”
“Yeah. Everything you wear always looks nice!” Nathan seemed very supportive.
Meanwhile, Christian who was sitting on the side felt neglected by these two.
“Ella,” he interrupted the interaction between the two loudly. “Quickly buy me flowers.”
“Why?”
What kind of strange request did Christian make now? Why did he suddenly want flowers?
Ella didn’t want to go today. It was more fun staying at home and keeping this fat kid company than going out. Why should she spend time buying flowers?
“Punishment,” Christian looked at her coldly. “Use your own money. Get one of the drivers to take you to the nearest flower shop.”
“I...”
“If you speak just one more word, I will increase the amount of interest.”
Christian lifted his spoon casually. Somehow, the food tasted much better now.
It didn’t matter if those people sent Ella flowers. He could ask Ella to send flowers for him. Haikal and the unknown man would not be able to get flowers from Ella.
They couldn’t even afford to be envious.
Nathan felt sorry for Ella. He thought his father liked roses too so he took the flowers that had been thrown in the trash and gave them to Christian.
“Father, this is the flower you wanted.”
He looked at the beautiful flower and then looked at Ella. “The flower shop is too far from here. Don’t tell this old woman to leave.”
Ella was so moved by Nathan’s gesture.
This fat kid was really her true love!
Ella thought Christian would take care of his son by telling him to come inside the house. Who knew Christian would look at Nathan and say calmly, “You accompany her.”
Nathan’s little face immediately looked depressed. He wanted to oppose his father but Ella tried to cover his mouth.
Ella knew that Christian would not care even if Nathan was his own child.
Along the way, Ella kept cursing Christian in her heart. Why was this man always making things difficult for her?
The flower shop was not too far from Christian’s house. When she arrived at the flower shop, Ella took out her purse and counted the money she had in it.
When she realized that she had very little money left, she was very reluctant to buy flowers.
She was poor, she didn’t have much money in her savings. She’d been trying to save her money, but Christian told her to buy flowers that would only make her spend her dime for something not so important.
As Ella walked into the shop, she met the shop owner and smiled at her. She pointed to a rose and said, “Please wrap me this one rose in the nicest paper.”
Christian only asked her for flowers but didn’t say how much.
Nathan immediately gave Ella a thumbs up. Even though his father had bullied this woman, she was still strong!
The shop owner looked surprised. From Ella and Nathan’s clothes, she was sure that they were both from affluent backgrounds.
But Ella only bought one flower, which kind of surprised her.
However, the shop owner still wrapped it in the best possible way.
While waiting for the shop owner to wrap the flowers, Ella went around for a while and looked around the shop. The flowers in the shop were very fresh and fragrant.
Ella thought for a moment and felt that it would be incomplete if she just gave the flowers without saying anything. Finally, she asked the owner for a greeting card. After writing the sentence, Ella was satisfied.
Coincidentally, after she wrote down the greeting card, the shop owner gave Ella the wrapped flowers with a smile on her face.
Even though she only bought one stalk, the shop owner still treated her very politely. Ella was very satisfied with the service.
Holding a flower in her hand and holding Nathan’s hand with the other, Ella wanted to go home. However, before she left the shop, she met Liam.
When she saw Liam, she nodded her head and wanted to pretend to leave like a stranger who didn’t know each other, but Liam stopped her.
“Ella, are you really going to treat me like this?” Liam said, his face immediately looked somewhat sad.
Ella felt her heart melt a little. But when she saw Nathan was still beside her, she smiled and turned to Liam. “No one should live in the past forever. I just hope you can think clearly of what you’re going to do from now on.”
