Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

128 Family

“Father must think that a woman like you who always makes mistakes doesn’t deserve to marry me. No problem, I’ll talk to him again. He would definitely agree. But you also have to be firm. As long as you insist on marrying me, my dad can’t stop us!”

Nathan paused and continued, “Haven’t you seen the money in my nightstand? I originally planned to use the money to find my mother. But for the sake of your sincerity towards me, I want to use it to elope with you.”

“Fat boy, it seems that your imagination runs wild.” Ella’s lips twitched when she heard the word ‘elope’ from Nathan’s mouth. It was an inappropriate word for a child of Nathan’s age.

Some kids of Nathan’s age wouldn’t even understand the meaning of that word. How could this fat boy use that word at his young age?

But when she recalled what Nathan had said, Ella’s heart immediately melted.

Turns out, Nathan collected that much money to find his mother. Even though he looked like he didn’t care, he actually wanted to find his mother. Who doesn’t want love from their own mother?

“You will find your mother,” Ella suddenly said.

Nathan’s tiny body seemed to have stopped moving with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

“It doesn’t matter if I don’t find my mother. I already have you. Well... As long as you like me.”

.....

“With understanding comes love. All those people never spend time with you so they don’t understand you. If only they took the time for you, they would definitely like you too,” Ella tried to explain gently.

She knew how much Nathan had suffered all this time. Everyone around him tried to look good in front of him just because they wanted to win her father’s heart.

No one treated him sincerely so in the end, Nathan had no trust in anyone else.

Ella’s explanation made Nathan nod. For some reason, Ella had the power to always calm him down, either with her words or actions.

“Old woman, quickly finish your bath. I’ll help you talk to dad.”

After saying that, Nathan ran downstairs.

Before arriving at the living room, the butler had stopped him and forced him to go shopping together.

Nathan was surprised to see this happening. Why should he go shopping?

He didn’t need anything right now and didn’t want to buy anything.

“I don’t want to!” Nathan refused, he only wanted to be home with Ella.

“Young master, we can’t do anything about this so please....” Saying this, the butler raised his hand to summon Christian’s bodyguard and immediately picked up Nathan, carrying him in the car parked in front of the door.

Ella showered for two full hours, trying to avoid Christian as well as Nathan.

When she saw her wrinkled hands, Ella couldn’t help but take a deep breath and decided to leave.

If she lingered in the bathroom any longer, she might catch a cold.

She didn’t dare go against Christian and she didn’t want to make Nathan sad either.

Now, Ella didn’t really know what to do.

After changing clothes, Ella immediately headed to the living room. But she saw absolutely no one there, neither Christian nor Nathan.

He looked around and looked for the butler, but the man wasn’t there either.

There were only a few maids there doing their jobs.

Even more strangely, when she asked the servants where Nathan had gone, they all said they didn’t know.

Ella wandered around for quite a while and found no one. Finally, she took out her cell phone to call Christian.

Meanwhile inside the CEO’s office, Christian glanced at his ringing phone and then turned his gaze to some of the employees who were presenting in front of him.

“Come out,” Christian said midway through the presentation.

The employees looked at each other. They hadn’t finished explaining yet, why did Christian send them out?

But no one dared to ask. They all nodded and left immediately.

Christian answered the call in a good mood. “What is it?”

“Nathan’s gone!” Ella said frantically. “I just finished taking a shower, but Nathan and the butler also disappeared. I’ve looked around the house, but I don’t see them. Could it be...” Ella didn’t dare to continue her sentence.

Christian’s good mood instantly disappeared when he heard Ella’s words.

Everything Ella said was about Nathan. Did Ella not care about him?

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed Christian became. “Go to the company,” He said coldly before disconnecting the call unilaterally.

Ella looked at her phone screen blankly.

Has this man gone mad?

He didn’t even care about his own son!

But seeing Christian’s reaction, Ella knew Nathan would be fine.

80% chance that all of this was Christian’s plan.

What a cruel man!

Ella shook her head in annoyance and walked out of the house.

To ensure Nathan’s safety, the butler mobilized all the bodyguards to accompany them so that there were no more cars left at Christian’s house.

Ella had no other choice but to take the bus.

She walked out of the housing estate and arrived at the bus stop. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief and relax, a man suddenly came up to her and slapped her hard.

The slap came so suddenly that Ella didn’t have time to protect herself.

“You insolent child!”

Ella tried to back away and get away from her attacker. But upon hearing the voice, she immediately stopped moving.

It was her father.

Ella looked at the middle-aged man in front of her. The man looked furious.

Maybe since the sun was so bright today, Ella couldn’t see her father’s face clearly.

After squinting her eyes, she could see the figure of her father, a figure she had not seen in a long time. Ella didn’t know what to say to her father so she decided to keep quiet.

Budi was the first to speak up. “You can’t see your sister happy, can you!”

Budi’s words made Ella feel like she had woken up from a dream.

How could her father still have a little affection for her? It was just wishful thinking.

A perfect smile appeared on her face as she looked at Budi. “How can you say that? Looks like you’ve made a mistake. It’s not that I don’t like seeing my sister happy, but it’s you who don’t want me to be happy.”

They had made her suffer, throwing her away from the highest sky she once lived. She had lived for five years in misery.

But for them, five years was not enough.

They all really wanted Ella dead.

Is that what they call family?
