163 Looking for a New Wife
“Father, I can’t accept all this. How can we stay silent while being treated like this by Ella?” Indri’s words made Budi’s eyes bulge in anger.
What his daughter said made perfect sense.
Besides, Ella’s attitude towards him made him feel very displeased. It was true that since childhood, Ella was a proud child, but she always depended on him.
But now, Ella never paid any attention to him.
Ella’s attitude towards him made him feel like swallowing a bitter pill.
After thinking about it, Budi nodded.
Indri’s eyes sparkled.
Indri immediately took out her phone and dialed Ella’s number. She wanted Ella to know that now she had no one by her side, including her father.
She wanted to tell Ella clearly that Ella was no longer the king’s daughter like she used to be.
.....
But the ringtone rang a few times before stopping.
Ella didn’t want to hear Indri’s voice. Apart from the undignified screams, it seemed that Indri couldn’t act gracefully and calmly.
Indri looked at the screen of her phone with displeasure. She looked at Budi and said, “Dad, look at her. She didn’t pick up my calls,” she said, rolling her eyes. “Lend me your cell phone.”
Budi immediately gave his cell phone without hesitation.
Indri rushed to enter Ella’s number and called her again.
After waiting for a long time, Ella finally answered.
Indri was happy because Ella finally answered the call. Ella did not receive a call from her, but from her father.
It would be easier for her to break Ella’s heart.
“So you’re waiting for a call from dad, huh?”
Ella frowned when she heard Indri’s voice. Seeing the number listed on the screen, Ella realized that it was Budi who called her.
In the past, Ella only remembered Haikal’s cell phone number. She only remembered the last few digits of her father’s cell phone number.
No wonder she felt this number was very familiar in her memory.
“Are you feeling panicked?” Ella suddenly said. “If you’re fine, you should use your time to learn etiquette and how to be a proper woman.”
Indri’s attitude did not reflect a woman from the upper class. Even though Merry had searched for many teachers for her, she never changed.
Like they said, only the skin changed, while the bones were still the same as before.
Because of that, many women from upper class society didn’t really like Indri.
Indri immediately felt offended that Ella discussed this matter. “Do you think you have the right to teach me this time?”
“Teach you?” Ella sneered. “I don’t want to waste my time doing it.”
Why would she bother to teach Indri? Even dozens of teachers couldn’t change her!
“Don’t call me again. You are very annoying.”
Ella was about to hang up the phone when Indri shouted loudly, “Ella, what’s your next plan? Don’t think we don’t know your cunning attitude!”
“If you already know it, you better stay away from me. I...”
“Ella...”
A low voice interrupted what Ella was about to say.
Ella immediately clenched her fists when she heard her father’s voice. There was a bitter taste rising in her heart.
In the past, this man had always protected her. He also said that there was nothing wrong with being independent and firm. This man also said that Ella should not give up easily and not allow herself to be bullied by others.
Everything felt like yesterday.
“What do you want?” Even though Ella was trying her best to control herself, her voice still sounded shaky.
She felt she was completely lost. Budi had abandoned her at her worst, but Ella still couldn’t treat her father cruelly.
She could understand the animosity that Merry and others showed, they were not related to Her. But her father had the same blood as her. Her father used to treat her sincerely.
“Lately, Haikal has been cold to Indri. Are you the reason behind it?” Budi said in a serious tone. “You’d better give me an explanation.”
“What?!” Ella sneered. Her heart felt cold. But half way through, she felt so uneasy as if she was being ripped apart. “Why are you blaming me when Haikal doesn’t care about your daughter anymore? Just blame Indri because she is not Haikal’s first love. You know yourself that it’s very difficult for a man to forget his first love.”
As if she was thinking about something, Ella suddenly realized. “Ahh, sorry, I almost forgot. My biological mother was your first love, but you can forget her completely. I guess Haikal is different from you.”
The cynicism made Budi’s face unsightly and he shouted, “Isabella!”
He also treated Ella’s mother very sincerely, loved her with all his heart. But what could he do if Ella’s mother fell ill and died?
When he heard Ella’s words, he felt like everything was his fault.
“I was young then. There’s nothing wrong with me looking for a new wife.”
“Yeah, right,” Ella agreed. “Haikal is also very young. He is not married and he will never forget me. Isn’t that a very normal thing?”
Hearing every word that came out of Ella’s mouth made tension boil under Budi’s skin.
Indri heard it from beside her father and also felt annoyed. She grabbed her father’s cell phone and shouted, “Ella, just watch if you dare to take Haikal away from me!”
“You are wrong. I won’t snatch him. Haikal himself will come to me.”
Ella sounded very relaxed. She said it in a lazy tone as if everything was normal.
Meanwhile, Budi and Indri were getting angrier and angrier. After all, Ella was tired to keep hearing accusations from Indri.
“If you guys just want to talk nonsense like this, I’d better hang up than waste my time.”
After saying that, Ella immediately hung up the phone.
Indri looked at her father’s cell phone in disbelief. She was really angry. “Father, look at this bitch. She doesn’t care about us at all!”
After saying that, she took her father’s arm in a spoiled manner. “Father, I don’t want Haikal to leave me. Help me!”
“There will be a party in a few days. You guys come together. Maybe your relationship will improve later.” Budi patted Indri’s shoulder, trying to comfort her. “I am here, don’t worry.”
In the blink of an eye, Budi was back to being a good father, as if he had never done anything to Indri before.
There was a glint in his eyes that Indri couldn’t see.
Looks like he has to speed up Haikal and Indri’s marriage.
If things continued to be postponed, there would be more and more obstacles that made it difficult for him. For the sake of the development of the Maheswara Family, Budi should not hesitate.
Ella put down her phone weakly.
What ringed in her ears were Budi’s words. Every accusation and cynicism from a man, her own father, continued to echo inside her head.
Is it time to give up? Why should she still have hope for her father?
How ridiculous....
