269 The Expected Dinner
Three days had passed since Ella left Christian’s house.
Three days had passed since Ella and Christian separated.
Three days was the time Ella needed to reorganize her life.
Three days was also the time Christian needed to get a new woman by his side.
Ella wanted to laugh at this moment. Not because she was happy because she managed to get money from her first painting.
She wanted to laugh because she felt sorry for herself. She had only been gone for three days. She hadn’t seen Christian in three days, but the man who said he wouldn’t let her go was now with his fiancée.
Christian only needed three days to replace Ella in his heart as if her presence in his life meant nothing at all. There was a pain in Ella’s heart that made it difficult for her to breathe.
The two people in front of her really matched. Both from their appearance and family backgrounds, they were really meant to be together.
She felt so naive. How could she think she deserved to be with Christian? How could she think that Christian couldn’t live without her?
.....
It only took Christian three days to forget her completely and replace her with another woman.
Now, Ella had understood how insignificant her position was in Christian’s heart, how insignificant she was to Christian.
But Ella had already decided to go and she couldn’t regret it.
Not only Ella looked at Christian and Nadia, but also Luca. “Isn’t that your ex? I’ve read news about the two of you on the internet.”
Ella didn’t answer.
Luca took a deep breath and said, “Let the past go. The more you keep it in your heart, the more uncomfortable you will feel. It would be better if you forgot about the past. If you need someone to talk to, you can talk to me.”
“I...” Ella opened her mouth. She felt that the story between her and Christian was too complicated to tell. As Ella was thinking where to start her story, tears suddenly rolled down her cheeks. “I don’t want to talk about it.”
Luca just patted Ella’s shoulder and said, “You still have a very long life ahead. In life, there are happy times and sad times. If you don’t feel both, it’s the same as not living.”
Ella nodded and took a deep breath, wiping her tears. “You’re right.”
In the blink of an eye, Ella had returned to being a woman full of smiles. It didn’t take long for her expression to change from sad to happy.
Luca saw how Ella was trying to hide herself behind her mask so he said, “Ella, you don’t have to worry so much about life. Live and let live.”
“Hmm...” Ella nodded and looked back at Christian.
Over time, Ella finally understood her feelings for Christian.
Ella loved Christian. But this love couldn’t be expressed and must not be shown.
Ella was sure that if she confessed her feelings in front of Christian, he would definitely look at her with disdain and contempt.
Christian had returned to his old self- cold and cruel.
Ella and Luca immediately left the place. When Christian raised his head, Ella was no longer there.
After recognizing the wrong person, Christian no longer wanted to pretend with Nadia. He was very tired from work and still had to pretend again.
Ella and Nadia were both women, why was the difference between them so big? When he was with Ella, he had never felt this bored.
After several times out with Nadia, he felt that Nadia was an annoying woman.
What irritated him even more was that, before Christian had time to announce to everyone that Ella was his woman, she had gone from his side. Surely, there will be a lot of people out there who are after Ella right now.
But Christian has absolutely no idea where Ella is.
He had gone to the bar where Ella worked and the apartment she once rented. He even ordered his men to follow Liam. But they told him that Liam had found a new woman who looked like Ella and they went out to the studio together instead.
When he thought about Liam, Christian got even angrier.
Ella cared so much for Liam and didn’t hesitate to fight Christian just to protect him. But just look at Liam. It didn’t take long for him to find Ella’s replacement.
But come to think of it, it was very profitable for Christian.
The man already had another woman and Ella would definitely let Liam be happy with her. After that, Ella would be his. Liam would no longer interfere with their relationship.
Seeing Christian not talking and not moving an inch, Nadia walked up to him and said, “Tian, ??let’s go home. Nathan must be bored at home alone.”
Nathan’s name interrupted Christian’s thoughts, prompting him to walk straight to his car. He opened the car’s door and got into the driver’s seat.
Nadia rushed after him, afraid Christian would leave her there alone.
“Tian, ??if you’re in a bad mood, we shouldn’t talk about today’s work. How about we go to your house? I also want to meet Nathan. He’s very cute and looks a lot like you,” she said in a soft voice. The way she spoke showed that she was the daughter of a good family.
But Christian was not interested in answering. He continued to drive the car in silence.
Silently, Nadia took out her cell phone. She took advantage of when Christian was off guard to take photos and upload them on social media.
She had a huge following on her social media so she knew those followers would make this photo shocking news.
Even if Christian finds out that she took the photo on purpose, Nadia was not afraid. She could just say that it was an accident. She was taking a selfie and purposely had Christian in the background.
As soon as they arrived in front of his house, Christian immediately stopped his car at the door.
“Come out.” His cold voice made Nadia’s brow furrow. Why did this man change so quickly?
“Tian, ??you’re not taking me home? You invited me to go out to eat today,” Nadia said with a pitiful look, hoping she could get Christian’s sympathy.
Unfortunately, Christian just sneered, “Aren’t you the one who wanted dinner tonight?”
Nadia couldn’t help it because that was what was on her mind. But initially, she planned to...
She even brought a change of clothes and looked forward to the evening, hoping Christian would ask her to stay the night.
But who would have thought that the night she had been waiting for ended up like this.
