Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

126 The Man Likes You

“Are you happy now?” Ella was still struggling to get the necklace off her neck. “I feel like this necklace doesn’t suit me. The design is more suitable for a 16 year old girl. While I’m already 23 years old.” Ella said it in a low voice.

The necklace hung in front of Christian, making him squint. A cold smile appeared on the corners of his lips as he said, “That man likes you.”

That sudden statement made Ella pensive.

After that, Christian continued, “Four diamonds. One diamond is around 200 million, excluding the cutting costs.”

“200 million?” Ella’s eyes went wide.

Has Liam gone mad?

Christian could see this necklace and could tell the price.

What was the real purpose of Liam giving Ella this necklace?

Seeing Christian’s eyes getting darker, Ella immediately said, “Are you not wrong? I don’t know him. Why would he give such an expensive necklace to me for no reason?”

.....

“Didn’t he say you look like the girl he liked?”

As he said this, Christian grabbed Ella’s chin and looked at her face as if looking for a speck of lie underneath. “Do you know him? Maybe it’s because you’ve changed so much that he doesn’t recognize you.”

Christian had been investigating Ella. Her appearance was not much different from before. But her drastically changed behavior made the aura around her change as well.

Christian’s guess took Ella by surprise. She felt her whole body cold as ice.

This man’s instincts were so strong that he could guess things about her. Even if his guess wasn’t completely correct...

“Your imagination is too wild.” Ella smiled gently, trying to cover up her lies. However, Christian was not a man who could be fooled easily.

He was still suspicious and decided to call Jason.

“Go to a jewelry store and ask for the CCTV footage. Find out the identity of the man who spoke to Ella over there.”

Ella’s eyes widened as Christian gave the order to Jason. Afraid that Christian would notice something from her expression, she hastened to wipe the surprise off her face and put on an indifferent expression.

She didn’t dare say anything else. Later, when Christian got information about Liam, she could say that she didn’t recognize Liam because she hadn’t seen him in a long time.

It’s better if she didn’t talk much now. She was afraid that if she tried to explain, she would show weaknesses and expose herself with her lies.

Christian lowered his head, looking at the woman leaning on his chest obediently.

Unknowingly, a smile returned to his cold face.

Now, he was happier when Ella was by his side. He liked her even more.

He raised his hand and stroked Ella’s hair gently.

Because of the unclear relationship between them, Ella felt Christian was not treating her gently, but rather treating her like a pet dog who loved to be petted.

Deep down inside, she was actually annoyed. But silence was the best choice.

In the end, she felt the drowsiness engulf her and she fell asleep leaning against Christian’s chest.

...

The next day, before Ella opened her eyes, Nathan had already entered her room and pulled the blanket up, wanting to wake her up.

Ella woke up suddenly. As soon as she saw Nathan’s face, her sleepiness disappeared.

She’s not wearing a single piece of clothes right now!

Inwardly, she cursed Christian over and over again. If it wasn’t for that perverted man, she wouldn’t be completely naked like this!

Ella gripped the blanket tighter. She looked at the fat boy in front of her with a smile. “Little master, what’s the matter that you run to me so early in the morning like this?”

“What morning! It’s noon already!” Nathan shouted. His tiny face was wrinkled, showing displeasure.

He had been waiting downstairs since morning, waiting for Ella to come down and play with him. But who would have thought that after waiting since morning, Ella hadn’t shown up too.

Ella felt that Nathan was full of enthusiasm and sometimes hyperactive. Maybe because he had nothing to do at home and felt bored. After thinking for a moment, she suggested, “Little master, doesn’t a kid your age usually go to school?”

If Nathan went to school, Ella wouldn’t be afraid of being caught like this in the morning. She also didn’t have to take care of Nathan all the time and still earned a lot of money.

While Ella was thinking about it happily, Nathan climbed onto the bed and smiled mysteriously at her. “If you want to accompany me to school, I’ll tell dad. If I go to school, of course my babysitter has to come too.”

Nathan was not interested in going to school, but he also wanted to learn many things. Finally, Christian called a teacher to teach him at home.

Ella imagined that she would accompany Nathan to school. Everyone would look at her with a strange look, thinking that she was Christian’s mistress or second wife, even though she really was.

Whatever the reason, everyone would definitely look at her with judgment in their eyes.

Ella immediately shook her head firmly. “I don’t want to.”

However, it was actually not good for Nathan to avoid contact with outsiders. The people in this house were only servants and housekeepers. The age difference between them and Nathan was also so big that it would be hard for them to talk about something they were interested in.

Nathan’s character also formed because of the environment where he lived.

“I think you should go to school. But I will not accompany you.”

Nathan pursed his lips as he looked at Ella. He took the opportunity when Ella was caught off guard and pulled her blanket.

Luckily, Ella reacted so quickly that the blanket only came down to her neck.

The red marks on her neck were clearly visible.

Nathan’s eyes immediately widened, looking at the red marks in front of him without being able to take his eyes off.

Ella felt that this was not a good thing for children to see so she immediately pulled the blanket over her body once more.

“Fat boy, you...”

“Old woman, are you sick?” The sudden question made Ella freeze.

She saw the worry on Nathan’s face.

“No, I’m not. It doesn’t hurt anyway,” Ella shook her head.

Nathan looked at Ella’s face for a long time, and then suddenly ran out of the room. It didn’t take long for him to run back into the room carrying an ointment in his hand.

“The maid said it’s good for bruises,” Nathan said as he climbed onto the bed. “I’ll help you put it on.”

This time, Ella wasn’t shy about showing her neck and letting Nathan put the ointment on her neck.

Nathan’s hand movements felt very soft and light on Ella’s neck because the boy was afraid that it would make Ella more painful. He looked at the red marks carefully as he applied some ointment to Ella’s skin, something he had never done before.

Unknowingly, Ella’s tears fell from her eyes.

She raised her hands and hugged Nathan in her arms. Even though she had done this many times, she never felt bored.

“Fat boy, I really like you. Do you like me too?”
