109 Little Boy’s Savings
“Old woman, you’re back!”
Ella had not yet entered the house but Nathan could already hear her footsteps.
As soon as he saw Ella, Nathan immediately ran after her. He circled Ella repeatedly but did not find any packages in Ella’s hands.
Where’s his snack?
His tiny face immediately wrinkled. He had waited long enough, why did the old woman come home empty-handed?!
“Old woman, where are the snacks you bought for me?”
Ella greeted him with an awkward laugh. “I forgot to bring money earlier.”
“What? Why are you so stupid? How could you forget to bring money!”
Nathan continued to nag in annoyance. “See, you can’t do anything without me. Do you think you can live out there alone? I just told you to buy snacks and you forgot to bring money. If you are like this, you will die because of your stupidity, you know.”
.....
Ella frowned. How could she die just because she was stupid?
Ella really admired Nathan. As soon as he opened his mouth, all the words that came out of his tiny mouth were truly venomous.
Nathan took her hand and led her into the house, through the living room and straight to his room.
Nathan’s room was decorated in sky blue, which put Ella’s heart at ease. She thought that the color brought a peaceful feeling...
Right now, her heart was in turmoil. What if Liam realized that she was trying to hide something from him? What would he do once he learned that she had changed after five years?
The words that came out of Liam’s mouth echoed in her ears again.
‘I know you must have a reason for everything you do.’
Liam trusted her so he didn’t mind what Ella was doing now.
Reason.... Ella had so many reasons why she did all this.
She wants to take back what was rightfully hers.
She wanted to make those people regret what they had done to her.
She wanted revenge.
Ella tried to get the thought out of her mind. She looked at Nathan. Currently, Nathan was opening the nightstand in his room with his tiny hands.
When the nightstand opened, Ella’s eyebrows immediately rose.
The nightstand was filled with money!
This 5 year old little boy was way richer than she was!
Nathan looked doubtful as he looked at the pile of money in his nightstand. How much money should he give Ella? He didn’t know how much the snack cost...
After a long thought, he finally took out a wad of money and gave it to Ella.
“Old woman, here’s the money!”
Ella frowned when she saw how much money Nathan had given her.
Nathan cleared his throat and said, “I am very diligent in saving. Don’t forget to return the change to me,” he continued seriously.
”Okay.” Ella couldn’t help but laugh. This chubby kid was absolutely adorable.
Besides, Ella was curious. Why did Nathan save so much money? He should have known how rich Christian was. Even without saving, Nathan could spend his money as he pleased.
Ella wanted to ask. But when she saw the sadness on Nathan’s face, Ella decided to keep quiet.
Maybe this kid also had a secret that he wanted to keep to himself...
After taking the money, they both went downstairs, just as Christian arrived home.
Ella’s instincts told her to hide as soon as she saw Christian. She still hadn’t figured out how to explain her relationship with Haikal to Christian.
If she told the truth, Christian wouldn’t believe her.
Similarly, if she was lying, Christian would know right away.
She didn’t know how to comfort Christian nor calm him down. She felt that if she met Christian now, she would suffer even more.
Ella decided to leave through the back door. Seeing her running towards the back, Nathan thought Ella felt guilty for making him wait and wanted to hurry up to buy his snacks. He immediately waved his hand and said, “Hurry back!”
Ella almost stumbled at the scream.
But in order to escape from the cruel man behind her, Ella clutched the money she was carrying in her hands and ran to the supermarket quickly.
Christian’s eyes darkened when he saw Ella avoiding him. He got back into his car and chased Ella.
In the middle of the road, suddenly Ella was stopped by a black car. It almost made her heart drop to her stomach.
The car window then slowly rolled down, revealing Christian’s perfect face.
However, no matter how perfect his face was, Ella still didn’t want to look at him. She wanted to run as fast as she could from that place!
“Damn it!” She whispered to herself.
The supermarket was so close to Christian’s house. She didn’t expect Christian to chase her in a car.
“Come here.”
Christian looked at her coldly as did his voice.
That gaze convinced Ella that when she approached Christian, the man would surely kill her.
However, what could she do now? She could only obey everything Christian said.
“Christian...”
Ella stood in front of the window, lowering her head like a child who had made a mistake. But in her heart, she kept cursing the man in front of her.
What did this man really want?
No matter how hard she tried to explain it, Christian wouldn’t believe her. He trusted Laras more than Ella.
In addition, he sent Laras to get the documents to his house.
What did Christian want from her?
“Get in the car,” Christian said nonchalantly.
Ella opened the door and got into the car thinking what to do now.
Just as she closed the door, Christian stepped on the gas hard. The car drove so fast and out of the housing estate.
“Christian?”
Ella was surprised. Why did Christian take her away? She had promised to buy a snack for Nathan!
Throughout the journey, Christian remained in the driver seat with a straight face. After a long time had passed, he finally said, “Why did you run away when you saw me?”
Ella pursed her lips, cursing herself inwardly. But on the surface, she smiled and said in a sweet tone, “Weren’t you the one who told me not to show my face if I couldn’t give you the explanation you wanted? I’m just following your order.”
“Oh? So you’re blaming me now?” Christian’s gaze grew colder as it swept across Ella.
Ella shuddered when she felt that gaze.
How could she dare to blame Christian? Could this man stop twisting her words for once?
Ella cherished ??her life very much and still wanted to live!
“No... Of course not. You have everything in your hand, Christian. How would I dare to blame you?” Ella tried to say it as sincerely as possible, as if she had actually seen death knocking on her door.
Even though Christian knew that Ella was lying, he was still pleased with the compliments that came out of Ella’s mouth.
“Since when did you like me?” Christian asked nonchalantly, as if he’s asking about the weather.
