Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

390 It feels like falling in love

Christian saw Ella fold her arms across her chest and looked at her with an annoyed look. “Christian, have you forgotten? Do you remember how cold you used to be to me? When we first met, you told me to jump out of the window!”

In the past, maybe Ella would have let Christian do whatever he wanted.

She would let Christian order her to do whatever he wanted. She would allow Christian to blame her for anything that wasn’t her fault.

But now it’s different.

Ella wanted to be free. She wanted to be free to do whatever she wanted.

Christian doesn’t want to remember that moment. He answered in a low voice, as if he felt guilty. “There used to be so many women who approached me…” and those women weren’t sincere.

The way he used to torture Ella before, had now become a burden and guilt in his heart. He could imagine how sad and scared Ella was at that moment.

Including when Ella had to work at the bar to survive. Christian knew how stubborn Ella was. But Ella was willing to do whatever it took to stay alive. Even if she had to be a barmaid...

Ella’s eyebrows shot up at that. “Am I the most beautiful?”

.....

Ella held Christian’s hand and asked while tilting her head. Her gaze was so innocent that it made Christian want to hug her.

Christian nodded.

Actually, no. There are so many beautiful women in this world with their different beauty. But Ella’s attitude towards him intrigued Christian.

Ella looked confident and courageous, completely unconcerned about what other people thought of her.

Besides, Christian wanted to know what Ella’s goal was to approach him. He let Ella stay with him. When Christian was bored or when Ella did something that made him uncomfortable, Christian could leave her at any time.

However, as it turned out, Christian was trapped now.

Seeing Christian nod, Ella nodded as well. She was happy and said cheerfully, “Is it just beautiful? What about my abilities?”

“You have great skills… in bed.”

“Christian!” Ella shouted in annoyance.

Christian laughed once more. He stroked Ella’s wrinkled forehead and suddenly said, “We’re not in love yet.”

Their relationship is like a roller coaster that goes up and down fast. At first, they were just a master and mistress. Suddenly, now they are engaged.

Ella nodded and confirmed Christian’s words. She also wants to fall in love slowly, and feel the relationship between lovers.

She wanted to know what it was like to fall in love with a man who also loved her.

Christian thinks for a moment and says, “Yes. Our relationship is developing much faster.”

They will be engaged and married after this.

But thinking about it makes Christian feel satisfied. He didn’t regret it at all, as long as Ella was by his side.

In contrast to Christian, Ella wants their relationship to grow slowly. She didn’t want their relationship to develop too quickly.

“Actually, I want to feel what it’s like to fall in love with you.” Ella was pensive as she said, “Aren’t I your first love? Don’t you want to know what it’s like to be in love?”

“What is the point?” Christian raised an eyebrow and looked at Ella in confusion.

“When we are old, we can remember the times when we fell in love. We can remember our sweet and nostalgic memories,” said Ella with longing eyes.

Christian did not think that Ella wanted to grow old with him.

Hearing Ella’s words, Christian seemed to realize something he had never thought of before. Before, he had never thought of it, but now he wanted it too.

“In that case, okay. We can start falling in love now. But what should we do when we fall in love?” Christian asked seriously.

Suddenly, Ella remembered her painting and said, “We could fall in love another day. I have to paint now.”

Ella said it very calmly and immediately went downstairs without any guilt at all.

Christian narrowed his eyes as he looked toward the door. Why did he feel like he had been tricked by that tiny woman?

But Christian finally let Ella go. As long as Ella is happy.

In the studio, Ella immediately took a blank canvas and started painting the idea that was in her mind.

A teenage girl with a boy several years her senior sat under a big tree. In that spring, the grass swayed and some flowers flew into the sky.

The girl looked up at the sky, making her long hair flutter in the wind. Her eyes were bright, showing the innocence of a maiden full of dreams. But within that gaze, there was also shyness and a hint of hesitation as she felt what first love felt like.

Maybe that’s how Ella feels when dealing with Christian.

She tried so hard to hold back the feeling in her heart, while the feeling was constantly struggling to jump out of her chest.

You could say, it was the hardest thing Ella had ever experienced in her life.

Meanwhile, the boy beside her was sitting with his head down, as if he was thinking about something. His short hair covered one side of his face.

It was the image of Christian in Ella’s mind.

Ella will never be able to understand Christian’s attitude towards her and what Christian thinks of her.

That man is so mysterious.

The inspiration kept running through Ella’s mind, making Ella lose track of time and paint all night.

It was only 7 in the morning when Ella yawned and stretched her stiff body.

She packed her things and turned to see Christian sitting by the door holding his cell phone in his hand. His face looked exhausted.

Unbeknownst to her, Christian had accompanied her all night.

Ella didn’t eat dinner yesterday. So Christian probably didn’t have dinner either.

This small gesture touched Ella. Her hand holding the brush instantly froze in midair.

“Christian?”

After a while, she walked over to Christian and stood across from him. Nobody knew what made her want to smile and laugh stupidly, but she couldn’t help herself. She hugged Christian, her face and hands smudged with paint.

“Christian, I love you. I really really love you.”

It’s hard to contain her love. It’s hard not to love a man like Christian.

The sudden movement made Christian automatically trap Ella in his arms. He could feel the warmth of her body. The feeling of tiredness from not sleeping all night immediately disappeared.

For some reason, only Ella has this ability.

“I love you too.”

“Christian, let’s fall in love!”

Ella held Christian’s hand happily. She really looked cheerful, like a girl who just discovered love for the first time.

“Okay, let’s learn to fall in love,” Christian replied in a low voice.

...

Meanwhile, Nadia was listening to the report from the phone. A strange smile slowly appeared on her face. Ella would join the painting competition?

This is a very good opportunity.

Incidentally, Hartono also arrived at her door at this time.
