Ella didn’t worry about any problems except for the bruises on her neck. She didn’t want Nathan to see it and be traumatized because of it.
After all, Nathan was only 5 years old.
She didn’t want to make a bad impression on Nathan’s eyes.
She wanted to still look beautiful and young in front of Nathan.
Finally, Ella decided to let her hair down. Perhaps, her slightly wavy hair could cover up the scar on her neck.
As soon as she entered the door, Nathan immediately rushed over to her. “Old woman, you’re back!”
Nathan was impatient as he waited for Ella to return. He had called his father, but as soon as he said Ella’s name, his father hung up on him.
This made him feel disappointed and sad, until Ella came home.
Nathan immediately took Ella’s hand, inviting her to sit on the sofa. He looked at Ella’s face for a long time before asking, “Did you make my father angry again?”
.....
Nathan understood his father very well. All of his father’s feelings were clearly reflected in his face and attitude.
Even though Ella often made his father angry, his father still cared for her.
But it seemed that this time his father was really angry.
Ella was silent for a moment and then shook her head.
“Why?”
Of course Nathan didn’t believe her easily. He looked at Ella suspiciously for a while before averting his gaze.
“I waited for you all night and you didn’t come back. I was really worried.”
Nathan pouted and gripped Ella’s hand tighter. “Old woman, you must not stay away from me. If you want to go, the maximum distance you can take is 10 meters away from me. Otherwise I will cut your salary.”
Nathan looked at Ella’s face intently, ready to get angry if Ella didn’t agree with his words.
Ella could only stare at Nathan helplessly. She didn’t know since when this fat kid had occupied a place in her heart.
“I just need some alone time.”
What’s on this fat kid’s mind? No more than 10 meters? Even Ella’s room and Nathan’s room were more than 10 meters away.
As if he could understand Ella’s thoughts, Nathan said seriously. He had made a big decision and was determined to make it happen. “You sleep with me tonight.”
“Your father would not agree.”
If Christian knew that his son liked her so much and was so close to her, wouldn’t the man be even more suspicious? In Christian’s eyes, Ella was just a cunning woman who wanted to take advantage of him.
Getting too close to Nathan would make Christian even angrier.
Christian will surely think that Ella is using her devious ways to approach Nathan and use him to stay at this house.
But Nathan would never have thought about that. He just wanted to stay with Ella and be near her. Nathan couldn’t believe it and pursed his lips. “When dad comes home, I’ll ask him.”
Seeing the disbelieving look on his face, Ella didn’t say much, having no intention of persuading the boy. She just stood up.
Nathan’s gaze remained fixed on Ella. When Ella turned her head slightly, her hair parted and showed her neck.
There was a glaring red mark...
“Old woman!”
Nathan immediately shouted loudly. He stood on the sofa and tiptoed so that he was as tall as Ella while looking at her with horror. “What’s with your neck? Who did that to you?”
Nathan was really surprised to see the obvious red marks on the woman’s neck.
Ella’s hands immediately went up to cover her neck with a hint of panic in her eyes.
“I accidentally got hurt.” She forced a smile on her face and then pinched Nathan’s cheek. “You know why I didn’t tell you? Because I already knew you would nag me like this.”
Ella told Nathan to sit and calm down. Then, she immediately crouched down and looked at Nathan. “I know you are worried about me and I am very touched. But I’m fine. Didn’t you give me an ointment before? I will use it. Do you want to come with me?”
Nathan was not satisfied with Ella’s answer, but he didn’t ask any more.
He still remembered when Ella spanked his ass. It was an incident he didn’t want to remember the most. He didn’t want anyone to mention it.
Maybe Ella was feeling the same way as him now.
That’s why Nathan didn’t ask much anymore.
Ella was very relieved. She honestly didn’t know how to explain everything to Nathan.
If Nathan asked who did it, what would Ella have to say? There’s no way she could say that Christian did it.
...
Christian was sitting in the conference room at the moment, listening to a presentation about the development project with a somber expression.
Several employees were seen listening to the presentation with shaking legs. Even cold sweat was running down their foreheads.
The presenter had repeatedly raised his hand to wipe the sweat away, but the sweat was constantly flowing.
The atmosphere in the room was very tense. The voice of the employee who was presenting up front was getting smaller and smaller.
Everyone sat in their seats feeling sorry for the man in front. But no one dared to say anything.
The presentation went on, but Christian’s mind wasn’t on him at all.
A cold aura continuously radiated from him, making everyone and even some of the seniors frightened.
The man at the front finally managed to finish his presentation. After that, he asked carefully, “Sir, what do you think?”
After a long silence, Christian suddenly stood up. He left the room without saying anything.
Everyone in the conference room could only stare at each other, not understanding why the CEO had suddenly left the room all of a sudden.
Only Jason understood the reason behind it.
He knew that Christian was thinking about Ella.
After leaving the meeting room, Christian stopped walking again.
What was he doing now? Why couldn’t he just sit quietly? Why did he get his mind troubled for a woman he was supposed to take as a toy?
Anger slowly rose from within him. He stepped into the elevator and returned to his study.
Incidentally, Laras was passing through the corridor carrying documents, accidentally saw the grim-faced man.
She knew that Christian had just had a meeting. Is it possible that the presentation of the project is not good?
While thinking about the reason for Christian’s anger, Ella’s face appeared in Laras’ mind. Apparently, she hadn’t seen Ella at the company for the past few days.
Even though she had been transferred to another division, Laras was still watching Christian from afar. Of course she also knew that Merry and Indri had come, saying that Ella had a relationship with another man.
Did this incident make Christian so angry that he dumped Ella?
Laras looked happy at such a thought, but only briefly. After that, she put on her professional face again.
