44 Already Dead
“I’m not fat!”
Nathan was annoyed that Ella kept insulting him as a fat kid. Then, Nathan remembered Ella’s previous words.
Did she just say she wanted to talk to him? Of course he would accept it!
He had already prepared a plan for this woman!
“Meet me later, nine o’clock at night!” Nathan said.
Ella wanted to laugh out loud at Nathan’s current behavior. He didn’t talk like a 5 year old, but like a middle aged man who usually teased younger girls.
she found a funny new side of this fat boy.
“I...” as Ella was about to agree, Christian answered first, “No!”
Ella should only belong to him at night. He wanted her to use the formal dress as a secretary for nothing. How could he let Ella accompany his son?
.....
“Father, why?”
Nathan felt his father was very strange today. Didn’t his father usually kick out all the women who tried to get close to him?
“She has something important to do,” Christian said to justify himself.
Ella frowned. Something important? What important thing should she do? Why didn’t Ella remember anything?
At least for now, the most important thing for Ella was to talk to Nathan.
Maybe because Nathan was the same age as her son, Ella felt sorry for the boy. Even though Nathan was naughty, his heart wasn’t actually that bad.
He was just trying to get attention.
“I have something to talk to Nathan about,” Ella said firmly.
Christian was immediately disappointed. Was he not as important as his son?
“No,” his voice was lower than usual and his face was even more grim. As time went on, his aura grew colder and more sinister.
Nathan, who was sitting beside him, unconsciously backed away. He wanted to ask what made his father angry like this, but he did not dare to say a single word.
Finally, he couldn’t help but look at Ella with pity. He seemed to have gone too far with this woman.
His father would definitely punish this woman harshly. According to what he knew about his father, whenever Christian acted like this, someone would unfortunately become his victim.
Ella didn’t understand why Nathan was suddenly looking at her, but she didn’t dare ask questions when Christian was watching her intently. Christian looked at her like she’d just committed a grisly crime.
“I...”
Ella looked doubtful for a moment but she insisted. “I want to talk to him.”
“Not gonna happen.”
Christian looked at the woman in front of him, surprised that she was being so stubborn for the first time.
“Are you willing to go against my words?”
Ella felt her body shaking as if she was at the end of the world.
“Christian ...” She immediately cracked a smile. “Nathan wants to talk to me. Maybe we can get closer later.”
Ella looked at him with puppy eyes. When he saw it, Christian could not refuse.
“Finish your talk before 7 pm!”
After he’d finished, Christian didn’t want to eat anymore. He couldn’t refuse Ella, but after complying with her request, he felt annoyed.
Finally, he got up and left.
Only Ella and Nathan were left in the dining room now.
Only now could Ella admire the dining room at Christian’s house. Above the dining table were four chandeliers that looked luxurious. All the decorations in the room looked very expensive.
Even the dining table was carved with a very charming motif.
The cutlery they used looked like they came from a palace.
Nathan watched Ella’s every move, especially when she looked at the luxury around her. This made Nathan even more convinced that this woman was no different from other women who tried to get close to his father.
He didn’t like them. He knew very well that they were all only after his father’s money.
He hated it when they brushed their hair in an exaggerated manner, pretending to be feminine and gentle. However, they only did all that in front of his father. Just to win his father’s heart.
Seeing Nathan feeling annoyed, Ella finally opened the topic of conversation.
“Where is your mother?”
There were rumors that Nathan’s birth mother tried to use various means to be able to sleep with Christian and conceive him. She wanted to use the child to win Christian’s heart.
But Christian was Christian. He was a cruel man.
He took his son and threw the woman away, completely ignoring her, not caring if she lived or died.
Of course all this was just speculation. The only one who knew the truth was Christian himself.
Ella knew Nathan knew nothing. She was just asking for fun, who knew if she could get information from Nathan.
“My mom?” Nathan seemed to hate the word. He frowned and put down his cutlery. “I don’t have a mother.”
Before Ella asked him again, he continued, “I never saw her.”
“You don’t want to look for her?”
Ella was still trying to get information from Nathan. No matter what his mother was like, Ella felt that it would be better if the woman raised Nathan herself.
However, it was not good for a child to lack the love of their parents.
And that was what happened to Nathan right now.
“Father said she was dead.” After saying that, Nathan got angry again. “Why are you asking so many questions? I won’t let you be my mother.”
Nathan pushed the plate in front of him and ran from the dining room.
Ella knew that she had touched a wound that Nathan didn’t want to open again, but she had to find out. She had to find out who the woman was.
Now, she was the only one left in the room.
When she saw the food on the table, she felt it would be a shame if this food was wasted.
She had spent five years in a mental hospital, eating with typical hospital food.
After being discharged from the hospital, Ella had to try to find food, sometimes even having to starve.
After dinner, Ella rubbed her stomach and walked to Nathan’s room. She had promised to talk to Nathan and she would not break her promise to this child.
She looked at the clock and it was 6:50.
Ella hurriedly ran upstairs.
Nathan, who was in the room, looked at the box in his hand with a smile on his face.
He sat on his bed with his legs crossed. But after waiting for quite a while, Ella didn’t come. His patience was running out.
Did she need that long to just eat her dinner?
Nathan put down the box and walked towards the door. He wanted to tell Ella to eat faster. But before he could leave his room, a knock was heard.
“Little master, may I come in?”
