Chapter 207
207 Praise
Ella’s hand suddenly went up to grip the hem of Christian’s coat and tugged on it slightly. Christian was totally shocked to see her. He lowered his head and looked at the woman in front of him.
Ella’s eyes seemed to be filled with a dazzling light, making the man unable to take her eyes off.
They both seemed to be lost in their own world, ignoring Nathan who was also in the same room.
It was as if the world belonged to the two of them...
Ella’s heart was racing. What Christian said just now seemed to ring in her ears.
Very weird. She had never felt this way when she was dealing with Liam.
She only felt this feeling for Christian. It seemed she was too dependent on this man in front of her.
After realizing it, Ella brushed off her feelings again. The smile she had on her face was her usual sweet smile. Her fake smile...
“Thanks for the compliment.”
.....
There was a sweet feeling in her heart, but Ella couldn’t drown in it.
Christian also smiled when he heard it. Then, he sat next to Ella and took the photo album from Nathan’s hands, looking at each photo more closely.
He had to admit that when Ella put on her wedding dress, it was getting harder and harder to keep his eyes off her.
But at the thought that this woman would be wearing a wedding dress for another man one day, Christian frowned deeply.
He did not want this woman’s beauty to be seen by other men.
Nathan was annoyed to see his father snatch the photo album from his hands. Finally, he couldn’t help but grumble. “Father, why did you come home early today?”
Christian raises his eyebrows and looks at Nathan. Does this child still have to ask him that? He came home late because he had to work late today...
He looked at Nathan, making the boy feel guilty for asking such a careless question. His father looks so scary.
Nathan immediately grabbed Ella’s hand and hugged her. “Old woman, father is going to be angry at me!”
Ella glances at Christian and then moves Nathan to sit next to his father so they can look at the photo together.
Christian frowns at Ella’s shifting position, but in the end he stays silent.
Nathan also looked at the photo with pride. “Only I can make this old woman look beautiful.”
Initially, Nathan only wanted to select a few photos to print. But almost all of Ella’s photos look perfect, no matter what the pose.
Nathan was reluctant to delete them.
Ella immediately blushed at the sudden compliment.
This 5 year old little boy compliments her beauty!
Ella couldn’t help but kiss Nathan’s plump cheek. “Fat boy, you are also the most handsome man I have ever met.”
Christian watched the scene with anger.
Hadn’t he also praised Ella before? Why didn’t Ella look this happy? Nathan even got a kiss from Ella...
Ella and Nathan could see Christian’s anger slowly rising. Nathan immediately looked for a way to escape from this place. He took Ella’s hand and said, “Dad, I’m really sleepy. She will sleep with me today.”
As soon as he said that, Nathan got up and started walking on his short legs. Ella noticed Nathan’s signal and immediately stood up.
But sadly, as soon as he took two steps, Christian’s cold voice rang in his ears. “Do you dare to go?”
Ella couldn’t move.
Nathan’s heart was also beating fast. His father was looking at him coldly and said, “Hurry and go to sleep.”
“But...”
Nathan felt anxious. His father looks very angry now. He didn’t want to leave the old woman alone. What if his dad punished her?
“There is something important I need to discuss with your father. Go to sleep first,” said Ella.
Ella immediately helped to persuade Nathan when she felt a cold stare from Christian.
Nathan could only shrug his shoulders and agree with Ella’s words.
Seeing Nathan disappear at the top of the stairs, Ella felt more and more panicked.
“Christian...” she called nervously, not daring to look directly at the man.
The cold aura around the man made her voice tremble. SHe couldn’t even say anything other than calling his name.
“Hmm?” Christian replied as he walked to Ella’s side. He raised his hand to hold Ella’s chin. “Why do you seem scared?”
Ella didn’t know what to say.
Isn’t that obvious? If Christian wasn’t angry, how could she be scared like this?!
Plus, Ella doesn’t understand why Christian is suddenly angry. Didn’t they just look at the photo album together?
“Did you do something today?”
Christian looked at Ella intently, he felt something strange. Why did Ella suddenly try on a wedding dress?
Ella felt herself getting smaller and smaller. She still remembered the way she talked to Haikal at the bridal shop earlier. That time she really teased him and did it without any guilt.
Even though she did it without any feelings for Haikal. She was only doing it for revenge...
If Christian found out about all this, he would be furious.
Seeing the panic on Ella’s face, Christian becomes even angrier. He is convinced that Ella has had the man she loves and lies to his son so she can try on this wedding dress. Otherwise, how could Ella be smiling so cutely in that photo!
Ella dared not raise her head and looked at Christian. She could only answer in a low voice. “Not.”
Christian is dissatisfied with the answer and warns her in a low voice. “If you dare to wear a wedding dress in front of another man, I will really kill you.”
Ella felt a chill all over her body.
That means, in her entire life, Ella will never be able to marry, not even Christian.
Christian would never marry her either. But once the man decided he would, as the most influential figure in the city, his marriage would get a lot of attention.
There will be thousands of guests to attend it.
That means, Ella won’t be able to wear the wedding dress in front of Christian’s guests.
Did this man just tell her that he would never marry her in his life?
For the sake of revenge, Ella didn’t care about herself at the moment. She doesn’t care even if everyone thinks of her as a slut or a mistress.
But she doesn’t want to be a mistress forever.
She also has self-respect.
She had also prepared herself so that she wouldn’t just give her heart to anyone carelessly. However, Christian’s words really hurt her.
Ella took a deep breath and nodded. Her voice sounded a little cold as she said, “I see.”
She understood, but she didn’t agree.
