160 Items from the Past
Laras looked at Christian who was slowly disappearing into the distance. At the same time, several people in the meeting room also came out one after another. Laras immediately approached one of them and asked what had just happened.
Those few people knew Laras well and knew what had happened to her.
They all knew that Laras had extraordinary abilities and was very dedicated to her work. That’s why they were confused as to why Laras was suddenly transferred to another division.
They thought that Laras was only moved temporarily, just to hone her skills even more. After that, Laras would return to her original position, as the head secretary who would always be beside Christian.
Remembering Laras’ position which was quite important to Christian, they told everything that happened in the meeting room.
Laras smiled gratefully.
When she found out that Christian left the room not because of a problem with the presentation, Laras could guess what happened.
She felt a little happy because Christian and Ella’s relationship was not doing well. But what worried her more was, Christian seemed to care more about Ella.
If he didn’t care about Ella, how could his emotions be so volatile like this?
.....
It seemed that she had to do something if she didn’t want to lose Christian.
...
Three days passed quickly. Christian did not set foot back into his house in the next three days and fortunately, those were the most peaceful days for Ella.
But who would have thought that peace was just a mirage.
Ella didn’t know what happened to the man nor where Christian had gone, but the news was shocking.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPerhaps it’s because Christian suddenly stopped pressuring the Maheswara Family, just like when Christian suddenly attacked the Maheswara Family before.
Everyone was confused by his actions. What made Christian attack the Maheswara Family and what made him stop doing it so suddenly?
Only a few people knew the reason behind it.
Ella looked at the news from her cellphone with a flat gaze.
This man was really bad!
Christian was telling her that she couldn’t do anything without him. Ella would not have been able to take revenge on the Maheswara Family without his help.
This was a warning from Christian.
Ella was sure that the people in the Maheswara Family must be feeling very proud right now. They were able to escape one problem and saw Ella getting abandoned and dumped by Christian.
Her head hurt when she saw this news.
When she met Merry and Indri again next time, they would surely insult and humiliate her.
One more person who was bothered by this news was Liam.
Indeed, the media couldn’t be fully trusted. But he could also see from the movement of the shares in the Maheswara Family’s company and knew that Christian had let them go.
This made him very sure that Ella’s life at Christian’s house would not be good.
Was this the right time to free Ella from Christian?
Liam, who was usually very calm, looked agitated for the first time. He looked doubtful because he didn’t want to trouble Ella. He was afraid that if he tried to approach Ella continuously, Ella’s fate in the house would get worse.
But he was also afraid that something would happen to Ella. What if Christian hurt her?
Finally, he made up his mind to meet Ella.
Once at Christian’s house, the first person Liam saw was not Ella, but Nathan. Liam could see Nathan’s resemblance to Christian. From his facial features, Nathan looked like the man’s carbon copy but with a smaller body.
From the child’s gaze, it was clear that Liam’s presence was not welcome there.
Nathan had met Liam before and knew that the man in front of him was always bothering Ella. To his annoyance, the old woman did not hate this man.
He could feel danger in his heart, afraid that this man would take Ella away from him.
Therefore he wanted to prevent the two of them from meeting.
But before Nathan could kick him out, Ella was already walking towards him.
“Liam, why are you here?”
Ella was surprised to see Liam’s arrival. At the same time, she was also worried about him.
This was Christian’s house! Why did Liam drive himself into the tiger cage?
“I want to give you something.”
Liam ignored the uncomfortable look on Nathan’s face. He took a box out of the trunk of his car and placed it in front of Christian’s fence.
“What’s that?”
Ella didn’t like receiving stuff like this. She knew that she did not have the money to make up for it.
“This is your old stuff,” Liam said with a gentle smile on his face. “I’ve checked it. Nothing left.”
After saying that, he bent down to open the box and show Ella its contents.
“Let me see. Is there something missing?”
Ella looked at Liam with a surprised look. She remembered that some time ago, Indri had called her and asked her if she wanted her old stuff.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDid Liam take her old stuff from Indri?
How much money did he spend?
Were the items worth millions or even billions?
Even though she knew Nathan was beside her, Ella couldn’t help but walk over to Liam and take a look at the contents of the box.
Be it the jewels she gave Indri or the dolls she loved very much, they were all inside.
Her eyes immediately wet.
Perhaps, in the eyes of others, these items were completely meaningless. It’s just a bunch of worn out old stuff. But in Ella’s eyes, these items were memories of her childhood.
All that joy and sorrow... Those feelings were immortalized in these things.
“Thank you.”
Ella’s voice was as low as a whisper. She wanted to ask how much money Liam gave Merry and Indri, but she couldn’t do it.
If she asked, Liam would be offended. Liam still considered their relationship more than just money.
Nathan pouted when he saw Ella looking moved by Liam’s gift. His heart was getting more and more anxious. Aren’t there just old stuff? Did they mean that much to Ella?
A five-year-old like Nathan didn’t understand how much these past memories mean to Ella.
Nathan felt even more annoyed when he saw Liam. The longer he looked at him, the more annoying Liam looked. In his heart, he was looking for a way to get rid of this man.
Seeing Ella’s tears, Liam felt touched. He raised his hand to wipe the tears from Ella’s face. “You’re this big, why are you still crying?”
Ella shook her head. “Liam, that’s enough. I can’t accept all this.”
Ella raised her head and looked at Liam.
Just at that moment, Liam saw a red mark on Ella’s neck.
The expression on his face immediately changed.
