396 Nausea at Breakfast
“Old woman, as long as my father and I are around, no one will dare to go against you. I promise,” Nathan said as he hugged Ella back. His fat hands patted Ella’s back as if trying to reassure her that he would always be by Ella’s side and protect her.
The boy’s hands seemed to want to give her strength, no matter how small they were compared to hers. It seemed as if Nathan was channeling his power to Ella.
“I trust you.” Ella’s face was filled with tears. She even sobbed with Nathan who was still in her arms.
Nathan let go of his embrace and wanted to raise his hand to wipe the tears off Ella’s face. But suddenly, his body floated into the air and he was moved to the other side of the sofa.
Nathan could only stare when he saw his father had taken his place in front of Ella. His father was gently wiping Ella’s tears. As he did so, Christian looked at his son with a warning look, as if to tell Nathan that he wouldn’t be able to take his place.
“Don’t cry. You’re not a child anymore,” Christian said in a soft voice, comforting Ella like a child.
Nathan was very upset with his father. Why couldn’t his father let him be alone with the old woman? His father had snatched Ella from him. At the very least, his father should have given him and Ella time to play alone instead.
Annoyed, Nathan took back his iPad and read the comments on the internet, ignoring the two people in front of him.
It was then that Nathan realized that his great-grandfather must be very angry with him. The fear he didn’t feel earlier slowly rose in his heart. He thought for a moment and lifted his head to look at Christian. “Father, will grandpa be angry with me?”
.....
Nathan is hinting at his father, hoping Christian will repay his kindness today when the time comes.
When Hartono is angry, only his father can protect him.
“What does that have to do with me?” Christian’s nonchalant answer stunned Nathan.
His father had dumped him so cruelly.
“Dad…”
He wanted to say something more, but Christian gave his son one more stern look. This is not the right time.
If Ella heard that question, Ella would be even more sad. Ella would know that Hartono hated Nathan even more because of her though the old man had actually hated Nathan from the start…
Ella was still wiping her tears, not even realizing what Christian and Nathan were talking about. By the time she gets her feelings under control, Christian has taken her to the bathroom so the woman can wash her face.
“I also defended you and did a lot for you. Why don’t you cry in front of me like this?”
“You and your son are different.” Ella lifted her head and looked at Christian with a smile. Her eyes sparkled with happiness and the reflection of the tears that were still welling made Christian’s heart flutter.
Ella’s eyes were very beautiful.
Those eyes used to look like they were hiding a lot of things. But now, Ella’s eyes seemed to shine brightly.
Gradually, his heart continued to be attracted to that woman.
Christian raised his hand and hugged Ella, whispering, “No matter what happens in the future, you can’t leave me. You know that, right?”
“Why are you forcing me?” Ella pouted.
“Just answer it,” Christian urged.
“I understand.” Ella nodded and Christian released his arms after feeling satisfied.
The comments on the internet were still circulating viciously, but the three of them didn’t care anymore.
Meanwhile in the main house, Hartono slammed his cell phone hard on the table. “Why did everything turn out like this?”
He thought this plan was going very smoothly. Who would’ve known that Nathan would suddenly appear?
How could he not be angry?
Without Nathan, Christian would have left that greedy woman!
But now, there were so many people who began to suspect that he had abused his great-grandson. Hartono didn’t like Nathan because Nathan was born out of wedlock, but he didn’t torture him and starve him!
“It must be that woman who has influenced this child. It’s true that being close to such a woman does not bring any benefits. It brings disaster instead!” Hartono said angrily. The butler who was beside him could only stand shaking, not knowing what to do.
Just as Nadia entered the house, she heard Hartono’s words.
She waved her hand at the butler, telling him to leave. After that, the butler hastily fled.
“Grandfather, don’t be angry. It’s not good for your health,” Nadia approached Hartono and gently massaged his shoulder.
Nadia was also surprised by what had happened this time. She didn’t expect Nathan to speak up and make a fuss. But this is not a problem for her.
This incident made Hartono hate Ella even more.
Regarding Nathan… The child should not have been born.
A cruel look crossed Nadia’s eyes. Unfortunately, Hartono was with his back so he couldn’t see it.
In a short time, Nadia’s gaze returned to normal.
“Grandfather, you need to calm down. If you are angry like this, it means you lost to that woman,” Nadia said calmly, trying to persuade Hartono.
Hartono nodded. Then, Nadia continued, “It’s not necessarily Nathan who wrote this. Who knows if Ella wrote it or even forced Nathan to do it. Christian really pampers Ella. No one can stop him from doing it, including Nathan.”
The comforting words from Nadia made Hartono’s heart calmer.
Right. All of this is Ella’s fault. His grandson was only temporarily blinded so he didn’t know what to do.
Hartono took a deep breath. “Tell me. How to get Christian to leave the woman? The woman even used a small child to defend herself. how cruel.”
Nadia looked sad and said regretfully, “Grandfather, maybe Tian and I are not really matched. Don’t worry too much about us.”
But Hartono could not take it for granted. From a young age, he was very stubborn, especially as he grew older. He did not want to compromise on the future of his family.
“Nadia, I won’t let you be treated like this. The only granddaughter-in-law that I acknowledge is you.”
Nadia just smiled, not showing what was on her mind at all.
…
The next day, Christian suppressed the negative news regarding Ella. In a short time, discussion of this incident just disappeared from the internet.
Ella spent three days in peace. Her life has returned to normal.
While she was having breakfast, she suddenly felt nauseous. Ella immediately ran to the bathroom and vomited all the food that had entered her mouth earlier. When Ella lifted her head, she saw Christian looking at her with an unfathomable expression.
Is this woman…
Ella knew what Christian was thinking just by looking at his expression and responding with a wave of her hand.
“Don’t think anything weird.”
However, Christian ignored her and took her straight to the hospital, ignoring Ella’s protest.
