Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

303 Should I Care?

“Do you think I want to find you? Nathan is sick.”

The expression on Ella’s face immediately changed. Nathan is sick? But the boy was fine yesterday. Why is Nathan suddenly sick?

Seeing Ella’s worried face, Christian’s face looked gloomy again. In Ella’s heart, there is only Nathan. Christian only had to say that Nathan was sick and Ella immediately decided to come home with him.

Throughout their journey back home, Ella didn’t look at him at all.

Shouldn’t Ella be talking to him now? Or had he become a completely insignificant person to Ella now?

Various thoughts raced through Christian’s mind, making his face unsightly. His gaze fell on Ella as he said uncomfortably, “Did you forget something?”

This woman forgot to admit her fault!

Ella turned and looked at Christian with a questioning look. “Forget what?”

Hearing Ella’s answer, Christian became annoyed again. Is this woman pretending not to know? Or is it really not important to her? “What do you mean by that?”

.....

“I don’t know anything,” Ella shrugged nonchalantly without looking at Christian again. She decided to look at the scene that went outside the car’s window. She felt that their car was moving so slowly. Finally, Ella couldn’t help but say, “Could you drive a little faster.”

She knew that Christian’s car was an expensive car, but Christian drove it so slowly. Is he not ashamed?

Christian ignored Ella’s words and continued to drive at his previous speed. There was a doctor at home who took care of his son. Christian wasn’t worried about Nathan at all.

But this woman beside him gave him a headache.

“Christian, are you listening to me?” Ella’s face looked a little tense with annoyance. As she still didn’t get a response from Christian, Ella said irritably, “That’s your sick son. Why would I care about him?”

“You are his babysitter.” Christian replied. He couldn’t help but reply when he saw this woman didn’t care about his son at all. He felt that something about it was bothering him.

“If I remember, I’m not his babysitter anymore,” Ella said nonchalantly. As if she remembered something, she immediately said, “Plus, it seems you forgot something important. You never even paid my salary as Nathan’s babysitter.”

Hearing Ella’s accusation, Christian’s hands gripped the steering wheel tighter. Is that all Ella cares about?

“I don’t pay workers who don’t come to work.” Christian turned it into a serious conversation.

What’s the money for when Ella had Christian by her side? He could give everything to Ella!

What else made Ella so dissatisfied that she thought of asking for her salary?

Ella just nodded her head nonchalantly, not expecting to get the money from Christian, “Forget it.” Let’s just say that the money was her rent while living at Christian’s house for a few months. “Indeed, I should have used the money for rent at your house.”

“Ella!” Christian growled between his teeth. His brows furrowed in annoyance.

What part of ‘everything Christian owned Ella owned’ did this woman not understand?

Ella turned and looked at Christian. “What is it?”

When she turned, she looked into Christian’s face. She hadn’t seen that face in a long time.

She thought she’d feel at ease even when she saw Christian later. But as it turned out, when she faced Christian this way, she could feel her body shaking.

She even had to hold her hands tightly to hide her trembling.

Ella took a deep breath, trying to hide her feelings as she talked to Christian. “I hope that after you get married, you can pay more attention to Nathan. He is still young and needs guidance. You can slowly explain it to him so he can accept your relationship with Nadia.”

At this moment, Ella looked like a stranger giving Christian advice.

“I hope Nathan can be happy. His happiness is also very important.”

“And that’s why you said you really don’t care earlier, huh?” Christian pursed his lips. A strange feeling rose in his heart.

How long have they been apart? Why did Ella change so much?

He didn’t see a trace of the woman he knew, the woman who always tried to please him seemed to have disappeared. Now, Ella has completely changed.

She was no longer trying to please him, and simply ignoring him as if he wasn’t there.

Christian didn’t understand. What was wrong with their previous relationship? Why did Ella want to leave him? Hadn’t he already given everything for Ella?

He made Ella’s life better. He didn’t let anyone talk about her past. But why didn’t Ella want to be with him?

What made Ella insist on leaving him? And after seeing each other again now, Ella was like a different person.

“Should I care?” Ella asked back.

Christian’s face darkened. “Do you really want me to marry Nadia?”

“Want?” Ella tilted her head with a faint smile on her face. “Why ask me? What does that have to do with me if you want to get married or not?”

Ella was still beautiful today, but her style was completely different from the seductive woman she used to be. Now, she looked like someone new. Ella who looked calmer, like a girl who had just grown up.

Her current appearance made Christian feel a strange feeling in his heart.

He really missed Ella. He really wanted her even more than before.

So how could he let Ella not care about his marriage? He wanted Ella to care for him.

“Pack your things and return home today.” Even if Ella wanted to leave him, Christian wouldn’t let her!

The expression on Ella’s face was still the same as before. “I’ve learned a lot over the past few days. Christian, I want to live my own life. We are from different worlds. Why are you forcing me to stay at your house? If I’m not happy there, I’ll leave again. You don’t like me and think I’m a bother. I will feel nothing but annoyed to be there. What are we together for? Let me go, Christian.”

Christian’s hands gripped the steering wheel. Looking at the road ahead, he said firmly, “Do you think you have a chance to leave again? You said we are not from the same world. That means you understand and know that you will not be able to escape from me. As long as I still want you, I will catch you and make sure that you are by my side for life.”

His tone was so firm and determined.

“That’s impossible, Christian.” Ella turned and looked at Christian’s face. “Why don’t you want to face reality? My heart is not here.”
