158 Worrying about a Woman’s Feelings

“Weren’t you the one who gave me this opportunity? A chance to get away from you...”

Christian squinted his eyes and said, “You have a good trick to get away from me.” However, Christian felt his heart much calmer now. That meant, this woman still obeyed him.

Ella wanted to leave him because she thought he wanted to throw her away. But it never crossed Christian’s mind to do that.

This woman before him was his and would forever be his. He wouldn’t let her go...

“It’s true,” a smile appeared on Ella’s face. “I’m also afraid that you don’t want me anymore.” Saying this, Ella raised her hand to caress Christian’s shoulder.

The corners of Christian’s lips curled into an ironic smile. “So you don’t have anything to do with Liam?”

Ella thought for a moment and then nodded. She really had nothing to do with Liam now. Their relationship was only childhood friends, and everything was in the past.

“Then you wouldn’t care about his fate, would you?” Christian let go of Ella and sat down in the chair again. Looking at her, he said, “Since he dared to approach you, he must suffer the consequences.”

Finally, Ella understood the meaning behind the question. Christian had no intention of letting Liam go!

.....

Ella’s hands clenched into fists. She looked doubtful but finally decided to say, “Isn’t he just nobody now? Why should you waste your energy on him?”

Ella didn’t dare say more than that. The more she tried to explain, the more she seemed to defend Liam.

She didn’t know if Christian’s words meant something or not. However, she did not dare to bet.

If she lost, Liam might lose his company and even his future. She didn’t want Liam to be hurt because of her.

She wouldn’t stay silent if Christian wanted to do something to Liam.

In a way, the only person Ella still cares about in this world is Liam. She had tried to keep Liam out of this. But unfortunately, it seemed that she had dragged the man into such a complicated problem.

“You still want to lie to me?” Christian looked at her coldly. “After five years, you still care about another man?”

Ella felt her body stiffen. This man in front of her seemed to be able to penetrate her heart, knowing all the contents of her mind.

It’s true what Christian said. If Ella didn’t care about Liam, she would probably say, “That’s up to you, as long as you’re happy,” in a soft and sweet tone. She will do anything to please Christian and get his support.

What did someone else’s life and death have to do with her? She just needed to take care of herself. She just had to reach her goal.

She had to get her revenge so that she could attain peace in her life.

After taking a deep breath, Ella cracked a smile. “He is my childhood friend and always helped me in the past. There’s no way I could ignore him, right?”

Christian was disappointed by that answer.

Hearing about Liam from Ella’s mouth aroused his desire to kill someone.

What exactly did Liam give Ella? Was it so meaningful that Ella cared about it? Wasn’t he the one who gave Ella everything?

He gave Ella a place to live after being released from the mental hospital.

He gave Ella protection so that no one dared to insult her.

He gave Ella support for revenge.

But why wasn’t his position in Ella’s heart that important?

The quieter Christian was, the more afraid Ella felt.

She could see Christian’s face getting darker and darker. She could only sigh in resignation. “Can I get out of this hospital?”

It felt so suffocating here.

Christian remembered that Ella had a trauma with anything that reeked of hospital. He looked at Ella and nodded after confirming that there was nothing wrong with Ella’s condition.

Ella went to the bathroom to wash her face. But when she returns, Christian is no longer there.

The empty room made Ella realize one thing- without Christian, she is nothing.

Ella only had time to look around her now. The room didn’t look as cold as the hospital room she remembered. It was spacious here, with beige curtains covering the windows. The color made this room feel a little warmer.

Jason, who was standing at the door, seemed hesitant to approach when he realized that Ella was deep in thought.

He raised his hand and knocked softly on the door, to wake Ella from her daydream and notice his presence there.

“Miss, Master told me to take you home.”

Ella immediately woke up and smiled a little. When faced with Jason, Ella seemed like a completely different person.

There was no charming smile and seductive aura about her like when she tried to please Christian.

She looked more innocent and calm. Or you could say, she looked empty...

“Hmm...” she answered in a low voice as she walked out of the room, following Jason to the car.

During the trip, Ella didn’t ask about Christian. She didn’t ask where Christian went or why he had left her alone.

Even now, she was much more worried about Liam than anything else. She knew that Liam looked gentle, but the man was actually stubborn.

If Christian attacked him, Liam wouldn’t hesitate to retaliate.

The car drove until it arrived at Christian’s house. It wasn’t until she was about to get out of the car that Ella realized that the scar on her neck was too obvious.

The weather was very hot now. There’s no way she’d be wearing a turtleneck shirt, right? After all, how could she wear it when it’s so hot outside?

She was already in front of Christian’s house. Did she need to go to buy clothes?

But she couldn’t just ask Jason for help, could she?

Ella couldn’t hide now.

Jason was sitting in the driver’s seat and immediately drove his car as soon as Ella got off, going from Christian’s house to the company. Just at that moment, Christian called him.

There was no need to think or guess, Jason already knew what Christian wanted to ask.

Christian would want to ask about Ella’s condition.

Sure enough, Christian’s gloomy voice immediately came over the other end of the line. “How is she now?”

From the way he spoke, it seemed Christian had guessed that Ella was going to make a fuss. If another woman did that, Christian wouldn’t hesitate to kick her out and throw her away.

But Ella was an exception in Christian’s life.

Jason answered honestly, “Miss Ella is very calm.”

When he heard that answer, for some reason Christian felt his chest tighten. He immediately hung up the phone.

He immediately swept all the documents that were on the table so that they were scattered on the floor, feeling that he had gone crazy!

Why should he worry about a woman’s feelings?
