145 A Pleasant Surprise
“I will never be able to repay your kindness. If one day you are in trouble, if you have no place to live and no food, you can come to me. I will take good care of you.”
Ella said it really sincerely.
Without Christian, her life would not be this calm.
Maybe she wouldn’t be able to find a job, or find money to eat. She would not have a comfortable and warm bed.
Everyone who saw her would sneer at her and despise her.
Walking out of the asylum wouldn’t make that much difference, it’d still be the same hell.
“Are you looking forward to that day? Where I can’t eat and live in peace?”
Ella was saying something romantic, how could Christian twist her words so quickly?
“Ouch-” Since she was so annoyed, Ella immediately bit Christian angrily. Ella bit Christian hard enough to make him wince.
.....
Christian frowned at the pain in his neck.
This woman was getting bolder!
Why did she act like a dog now? Her bite was very painful.
After feeling the taste of blood in her mouth, Ella stopped biting Christian.
She tilted her head when she saw the wound on Christian’s neck. Somehow the wound made her feel much better.
Christian also bit her neck and prevented her from wearing revealing clothes for quite a while.
She had yet to reply to Christian for the incident.
In addition to the bite on her neck, Christian also left so many kiss marks on her body. She also wanted to do the same with Christian!
However, when she saw Christian’s gloomy gaze, Ella immediately backed away.
The man’s expression looked a little sinister...
“Christian?”
Ella immediately broke into a smile and looked at Christian with delight.
“You bit me?”
Christian raised his hand to hold Ella’s chin and brought his face closer to Ella’s. “Ella, because you have been with me for so long, you’re getting braver, huh!”
“No,” Ella’s face looked pitiful and showed coquettishness.
“I wanted to leave an imprint on you too so other women who wanted you would think twice because they have such a great love rival. Maybe they’ll back off without even trying.”
“If you don’t like it, I’ll put an ointment on it for you,” Ella raised her hand to grip Christian’s large hand that’s holding her chin and said in a soft voice. “Don’t be mad at me.”
The lilting voice made Christian’s heart feel weak.
It’s not that Christian had never met a woman as spoiled and coquettish as Ella. There were so many women who’d tried to do the same with him. But only Ella could make him feel fascinated.
The woman in front of him was completely different from the other women.
If another woman acted like this in front of him, Christian wouldn’t hesitate to kick her out.
He wouldn’t even take the time to look at her, much less to serve her. Women before Ella just made him feel disgusted.
But Ella was different.
He didn’t know what made Ella different from other women. This feeling left Christian feeling confused.
Never in his life had he felt this way.
He didn’t understand what he felt for Ella. Maybe he actually understood, it’s just that he didn’t want to admit it.
His pride was so big that he didn’t want to admit that he had slowly fallen in love.
In front of Ella, Christian always lost control of himself.
Christian raised his hand to caress Ella’s cheek. After that, he gave the roses he got to the maid standing at the side. Even though he only got one flower stalk, he was in a very happy mood. “Put it in the vase.”
After handing the flower to the waiter, Christian immediately carried Ella. He didn’t forget to bring the card that Ella had written and put it in his pocket. The card was something of value to him now.
They didn’t head to the master bedroom as Ella had imagined, Christian led her into his study instead.
“There’s a surprise for you,” Christian said when he saw Ella’s confused face.
“Surprise?”
Hearing the word surprise, Ella was not happy. In fact, she looked a little panicked.
Ella’s heart skipped a beat. Somehow the word surprise or gift became a scary word for her. She felt it was impossible for Christian to suddenly give a surprise or a gift.
Every surprise and gift he gave would make Ella suffer.
But the surprise this time was really something that made Ella happy.
What Christian showed her was the company’s stock.
Ella had never been involved in business matters and was clueless about stock matters. But she understood what the ups and downs of the graph in front of her meant.
Currently, the shares of the Maheswara Family company were falling drastically.
“Did you like the surprise?” Christian showed her the computer screen. “He dared to bother you. This is the price he has to pay.”
Ella felt her heart pounding.
Is Christian also involved in this matter? Did he do all this for her?
That sounds... unreasonable.
As if understanding the question floating in Ella’s mind, Christian said, “Do you think the news about Indri is enough to affect the value of the shares of the Maheswara Family?”
Ella immediately looked at Christian.
This man really knows everything!
“You don’t believe me?” Christian frowned when he saw Ella not reacting.
He had put his energy and strength into doing this. Why was Ella silent?
“No, I was just... really surprised.”
As soon as she woke up from her daydream, Ella immediately shook her head. After that, a smile broke out on her face. “I didn’t expect you to remember.”
Ella gripped the hem of the man’s shirt tightly. She could feel the defensive wall in her heart rapidly collapsing without her being able to avoid it.
What should she do?
What must she do to maintain the defensive wall in her heart? What should she do so she wouldn’t fall in love with the man in front of her?
Panic appeared in Ella’s eyes. But the next second, Christian was already sucking her lips.
Ella accepted the kiss passively, but she could hear Christian speaking clearly. “My heart broke when you cried that day.”
Ella’s eyes slowly widened.
This surprise was really overwhelming for her.
She couldn’t imagine Christian would do all this for her.
Unknowingly, Ella took the initiative to deepen the kiss.
This gift from Christian made Ella feel happy all day long. If it weren’t for the call from Indri, Ella would have been able to sleep in a happy mood.
“Ella, don’t you want to get your things back?” Indri shouted displeasedly from across the phone. “Bring me 500 million and I’ll give it all back to you.”
