Chapter 188
188 I Don’t Blame You
“Did you miss me?” Ella asked, wrapping her arms around Christian’s neck. She was so close to him that the scent from her body instantly pierced Christian’s every sense.
The scent was a little stronger than usual, but it didn’t bother Christian. In fact, the smell made him feel like he was intoxicated.
Even though Laras used the same perfume as Ella, Laras couldn’t influence him. Unlike Ella...
At this moment, Christian could feel that he had fallen into this woman’s grasp.
It was clear that this woman before him had stepped on something that was taboo for him. But he repeatedly looked for reasons to forgive her. He even returned Laras to his previous position and told Laras to go to his house with the excuse of taking documents, just to test Ella.
What actually happened to him? Had he really been blinded by love?
“Something happened to Laras. Is it because of you?” Christian sensed something was off. This was not the first time Laras had met Ella. Christian knew that they both hated each other.
It would have never occurred to Laras to imitate Ella’s style because Laras hated Ella so much.
In that case, there was only one explanation. Laras did that because someone told her to. There was only one possible person who could make her act that way, and it was Ella.
.....
When she heard this, the smile on Ella’s face brightened even more. “I did it so you remember me. I have to use a little trick so you don’t forget me. It’s really hard to get your forgiveness,” She said while pursing her lips. “If it wasn’t for you being angry all the time, I wouldn’t have done something bad like this either.”
Actually, Ella’s heart still couldn’t calm down when she thought about Nathan’s biological mother, as if something was bothering her.
Ella knew that Christian was a very cruel man. If the man didn’t care about Nathan’s birth mother, Christian would have killed her. But now, she still existed and talking about her was still a taboo for Christian.
There was pain in Ella’s heart when she thought about it.
She looked like a jealous lover because Christian had another woman in his heart.
After thinking for a moment, Ella cracked a smile and asked, “You sent me here, is there something you want to talk about?”
Christian looked at the lunchbox on the table. “Earlier you also brought me the same food.” Discontent was evident in his voice. This woman was really insincere to meet him and apologize.
Ella just smiled. “This is healthy food for you.”
She was also helpless. She couldn’t cook and could only bring whatever food the kitchen had prepared.
In addition, she was also poor and could not buy anything for Christian. She didn’t have the money to buy expensive food that suited Christian’s taste. If she bought cheap food, what if Christian got a stomach ache? Wouldn’t that make him angrier?
“Is this your sincerity in admitting mistakes?” Christian looks at Ella intently.
Ella tilted her head in thought. She could see that the anger in Christian’s eyes was fading away. What can she do to get Christian’s forgiveness?
“Then, what sincerity do you want?” Ella said, kissing Christian on the cheek. “Is that enough?”
When Ella’s soft lips touched his cheek, Christian felt his body and soul stir. He was stunned when he saw the woman smile like an angel.
“Not enough.” The cold answer made Ella bite her lip. Finally, she brings her lips closer to Christian’s. However, the man avoided her instead. Finally, the kiss lands on Christian’s cheek once more.
“What do you want?” Ella asked patiently. Even though she was trying to be patient, Ella actually felt suffocated now.
She thought Christian had forgiven her, but it turned out that he didn’t. Then, what does Christian truly want? Why did he tell her to come here?
Did he purposely want to toy with her?
Of course, there is also a limit to patience. As a woman, she also wants to be coaxed by her partner and treated gently. But why does it seem like the position is reversed all the time with Christian?
The man seemed to play the role of a sulky woman, while Ella was his partner who was trying hard to persuade her.
Unfortunately, Christian was someone very difficult to persuade.
Christian is silent, not wanting to answer Ella at all. Ella tries to use various means to attract Christian’s attention but can only be disappointed.
After they were silent for a long time, Ella finally said in a nasally voice, “I don’t know what exactly I did wrong.” She said it in a low and weak voice, looking utterly pitiful.
The nasal voice makes Christian frown. Just as he was about to answer, he felt warm tears fall down the back of his hand.
“Why are you crying?” He said with a deep breath. His tone was helpless.
He wanted to make Ella regret what she had done, but he couldn’t bear to see her cry like this.
He raised his hand to wipe the tears off Ella’s face, getting angry at himself for making Ella cry.
“Please don’t cry,” the gentle plea made Ella’s tears even more heavy.
Who wants to be ordered around while crying like this, you insensitive man!
“I don’t know what I did wrong,” Ella said, sobbing. “You never told me anything. How could I have known that the matter was taboo for you. Is it wrong to ask when I know nothing about it? I also wonder what kind of woman who gave birth to your child. I want to know....”
Ella said it while leaning on Christian’s shoulder. She buried her face, letting the tears roll down Christian’s shoulders.
Christian hugs her and tries to wipe away every tear that flows, listening to Ella’s every complaint in silence.
Ella doesn’t wait for Christian to answer and goes back to complaining, revealing all the uneasiness in her heart. “I’m scared. I am afraid of losing you. What must I do to keep you?”
Christian just listens patiently.
If another woman had leaned on his shoulder and said she wanted him, Christian might have pushed her to the ground. But the woman in his arms right now was Ella.
When it comes to Ella, everything is different.
Not knowing why, Christian feels the urge to pamper her every time. Even while listening to Ella’s words, Christian feels hope and anticipation, wishing that Ella really wanted him by her side.
This is so crazy!
“I don’t blame you,” Christian said softly.
Ella is still leaning on Christian’s shoulder so her face isn’t visible. Tears were still streaming down her face, but a smile appeared on her lips. “Do you forgive me?”
