273 How Did You Find This Place?
When Haikal appeared in front of Luca’s studio, an expression of disbelief appeared on Ella’s face. Ella didn’t want to see Haikal. She really didn’t want to meet this man.
What Haikal had done to her in the past could not be redeemed easily. Even now, Ella can still clearly remember everything that she had experienced in the past.
Unfortunately, the man before her was completely shameless, not feeling guilty at all.
Ella really hated his hypocrisy.
“Ella,” Haikal carried a bouquet of roses in his hand. Slowly, he walked towards Ella with a smile on his face.
Ella looked at him warily and suspiciously. “How did you find this place?”
“You really shocked me to death. I’ve been looking for you everywhere,” while saying this, Haikal put on a pitiful expression.
He could clearly see that Ella didn’t welcome him, but he didn’t care at all. He just needed the end result. He believed, with the help of Nadia, Ella would surely look at him with admiration and would eventually fall in love with him.
Sooner or later, Ella would be his.
.....
Ella was tidying up the painting in the shop and ignored Haikal’s arrival before she said calmly, “Aren’t you not interested in painting? Just get out of here.”
Ella didn’t want to get involved with Haikal. She had paid for the consequence before and didn’t want to fall into the same hole a second time.
“Of course I’m not interested in painting.” Haikal put his roses on the table and his gaze fell on Ella. “Why don’t you understand my heart? I came only for you.”
Haikal took a deep breath, as if his breath was heavy. “I don’t understand why you are this cold to me. At Christian’s house, I explained everything to you, right? Trust my sincerity.”
The sad expression on Haikal’s face made Ella frown. She looked at Haikal and asked the question that was stuck in her heart.
“At that time, when you said all that to me, were you not afraid of Christian?”
At the time, Christian was so obsessed with her that he locked her in his house and didn’t let her out at all. Of course, Christian would always be watching her every move.
Haikal would never tell Ella the truth. What he had planned with Nadia was a secret. Finally, he just said, “I was only thinking about you. I don’t care about Christian.”
“Do you think I will believe your words?” Ella chuckled, trying to provoke Haikal.
Haikal was stunned when he saw it. He felt Ella was getting more and more beautiful. If he could have Ella by his side, welcoming him every time he came home, why would he go out looking for another woman?
Ella looked at Haikal and said, “I’m not the girl who is easily fooled like I used to be, Haikal.”
She’s an adult now. She’d grown up and changed so much that everyone couldn’t believe it.
The expression on Haikal’s face wavered slightly when he heard Ella’s words. He also felt that Ella had changed a lot. Compared to five years ago, Ella was no longer an innocent girl.
Now she looks mature.
And she caught his attention even more.
He couldn’t take his eyes off her at all.
Ella could feel Haikal’s gaze on her and disgust began to well up in her heart.
Luca just helped a buyer choose a painting. He felt that Ella had been missing for a long time and had not returned, so he looked for her. He found Haikal pulling Ella’s hand, while Ella’s face looked uncomfortable.
Haikal continued to draw closer to Ella with an unsuccessful smile on his face.
Elal looked back at him with a sneer on her lips. “Haikal, I already told you, right? There’s no way we can get back together.”
Ella seemed to have run out of patience. If it wasn’t for the ongoing cooperation between Haikal and Liam, she might have treated Haikal harshly.
Maybe she would’ve pushed him away, insulted him with much harsher words, or kicked him?
Just as Haikal was about to take another step forward, Luca suddenly appeared among them and said, “Hello, can I help you? Which painting do you want? Or if you are still confused, I can suggest a painting according to your preferences.”
“You... Who are you?” Haikal looked at Luca with an impatient look, not intending to be polite to him at all.
Luca was still smiling. “You came to buy a painting, right?”
“I came to look for this woman.” Haikal pointed at Ella and then looked at Luca in annoyance. “Don’t get in my way.”
Since earlier, Haikal had been trying to persuade Ella that he started to feel he ran out of patience. Actually, he himself was not the type of man who could be patient with women. He prefered that women were crazy about him, while he only needed to point to the woman he wanted.
Facing Ella was his greatest difficulty. It was also what made him want to conquer Ella.
In the end, he could only vent his anger on Luca.
Haikal’s words to Luca made Ella’s face unsightly. “Can you come out now?”
Ella really couldn’t hold herself back anymore. She looked at Haikal with disgust.
Who knew that Haikal didn’t care about that disgusted expression. He looked at Ella seductively. “Ella, how much money can you make working here? Come with me. I’ll give you a life that’s even better than this.”
Haikal felt that Ella was not a woman who could endure suffering. See, after she was kicked from the Maheswara Family, she immediately looked for Christian.
He never thought that Ella was looking for Christian so that the man would help her to take revenge. Ella chose Christian because he was the meanest man in town.
Plus, after he saw Ella with Christian for a few months, Haikal didn’t see Christian giving Ella any help.
Therefore, Haikal became increasingly convinced that Ella was with Christian only for his money. Ella just wanted to live well.
As for Liam, after Haikal conquered the entire Maheswara Family, his family would rise to a higher level. When he achieved that, he could make Liam submit to him. Liam would do whatever he wanted.
Just thinking about it already made Haikal feel happy, especially if his goal was actually achieved.
Luca could see that Ella wasn’t comfortable around Haikal, unlike when she was with Liam. That’s why he wanted to help Ella. But just as he was about to speak, a loud voice rang out.
“Haikal, how can you be together with that bitch!”
