Chapter 286
286 It turns out that you’re here
Christian didn’t want to go away, making Nathan feel uneasy. Why didn’t his father just go?!
“How did Ella usually teach you before?” Christian asked suddenly.
His question made Nathan blink a few times. Nathan thought he heard wrong.
Why was his father suddenly talking about the old woman? Didn’t his father say he hated her?
Should he try to persuade his father to bring the old woman back home?
Nadia was just as surprised. She hadn’t heard Christian mention of Ella in a long time.
Nadia thought Christian had forgotten her!
In her eyes, Ella was an enemy that could be defeated without having to compete. The easiest enemy. The proof was, Ella had gone even before Nadia could do anything to her.
Plus, Nadia was absolutely sure that it was Christian who kicked her out of the house. No woman would be so stupid as to leave Christian.
.....
She knew that Ella was not a stupid woman and she would never do that.
While Nadia was thinking, Nathan who was in front of her already answered in a sad tone, “The old woman is not by my side anymore. I’ve forgotten what she said.”
An understanding crossed Christian’s mind. He didn’t know what Nathan was up to. The only thing he knew was that his son’s life had become boring after Ella left.
In the past, his life was like this too. It didn’t feel much different.
But he had experienced joy and he didn’t want to lose it.
“Don’t say her name,” Christian said suddenly.
That cold and sinister face reappeared. Anyone nearby could sense Christian’s anger and wouldn’t dare approach.
Nathan initially wanted to say some nice things about Ella so that his father would take Ella back home. But when he heard his father’s words, he immediately stopped talking and backed away a little.
He was afraid his father would be angry. And when his father was angry, his father would take it all on Ella.
His father had never been mean to him. But Nathan saw with his own eyes when his father hurt Ella.
Nadia listened to all of this carefully. She wanted to know how important Ella’s existence was to Christian, but she couldn’t ask the man directly.
She can’t rush it. She had to be patient!
After thinking for a moment, Nadia realized that there was a chance that she might not be able to return. There are so many women who want to be with Christian, but Nadia feels she is the one for him.
Why should she worry about Ella?
Nathan’s eyes flashed sadness and loneliness. He thought he could persuade his father because it was his father who asked first. But now his father didn’t want to talk about Ella at all.
What if he wants to marry Ella later?
Nathan grew sadder as he thought about it.
Upon seeing his son’s face, Christian showed a hint of tenderness and said, “Do you want to keep eating here or come with me?”
“I want to eat here,” Nathan said without the slightest hesitation.
However, Nadia immediately interrupted. “Tian, ??how could we leave Nathan here alone without anyone accompanying him? What if something happened?”
“It’s alright,” Christian said calmly.
He knew his own son very well. Although still very small, Nathan had extraordinary intelligence. If he encountered something dangerous, Nathan would be able to think of a way to save himself.
Nathan patted his chest proudly. “It is my father who knows me best.”
After he finished praising his father, he turned to Nadia who was standing at the side and said, “How can an ugly woman like you understand my extraordinary intelligence.”
Hearing Nathan call her an ugly woman, Nadia almost lost control of her emotions. From the start, her patience had been eroding slowly. And now this kid called her ugly?
Has he gone blind? Can he not see her extraordinary beauty?
But Nadia’s face did not show anger at all. She smiled and said, “Nathan, you must be polite when talking to me. I did all this for your sake. So you can’t hate auntie.”
Nadia did have a calm personality. Even though she was in the middle of a shocking problem, she was able to deal with it very calmly.
Nathan’s words did not please her ears and made her feel uncomfortable. But it was easy for her to keep that sweet expression on, as if she wasn’t offended at all.
“Why can’t I hate you? I hate all women who want to marry my father.”
Nathan snorted, not caring about Nadia.
In his opinion, he had been very polite to Nadia. If he wasn’t polite, he would’ve called his father’s bodyguard and told him to get rid of this ugly woman.
The expression on Nadia’s face was unsightly. After taking several deep breaths, she calmed herself.
“Tian, ??if Nathan wants to eat here, we better not disturb him.”
Nadia really didn’t want to stay in this place any longer.
This cheesy place was no match for the classy one like her. And she was also unable to face Nathan anymore.
She wanted to get closer to Christian so she wanted to use Nathan as a shortcut. But after several attempts to get close to Nathan and be nice to him, she didn’t succeed. In fact, Nathan treated her way worse.
Christian thought for a moment and finally nodded. He got up and left the place with Nadia.
Ella who watched everything from behind the door felt pain in her heart when she saw Christian decided to go with the woman and leave his son alone.
She kept looking at their backs.
As she recalled what Christian had just said, Ella’s heart felt uneasy. Christian didn’t want to talk about her. He didn’t even want to hear her name anymore.
She took a deep breath and let it out slowly, as if trying to control her feelings. After that, she walked towards Nathan. She didn’t want Nathan to wait any longer.
Seeing that Ella was back, Nathan was finally able to act normal. He stroked his chest and said, “I was scared to death.”
It seemed he had no talent for lying. Even now, his heart was still beating very fast. Luckily, he was able to convince his father.
“Thank you, fat boy,” Ella said, stroking Nathan’s head. Nathan had saved her from Christian.
Getting praise from Ella of course made Nathan feel very proud. Just as he was about to brag about himself, suddenly a voice was heard.
“So you’re here.”
