50 Stubborn
Christian had just come down from the second floor when he saw that no one was downstairs. He didn’t see his son, but what was on his mind right now was not Nathan- it’s Ella.
Seeing the empty living room and dining room, Christian suddenly felt anxious.
This woman....
He’d only been gone for a while to do some paperwork in the study and Ella had disappeared by the time he came back.
Looks like the ‘punishment’ he gave Ella last night was still too light.
The butler in the living room looks terrified at Christian’s bad mood in the morning. He even swallowed back the words that were just about to come out of his mouth.
As soon as he realized the presence of his servant, Christian immediately asked coldly, “Where’s Ella?”
“Miss Ella is chasing the young master,” replied the butler. He’s afraid that if he’s even a second too late to answer, he’ll make Christian even angrier.
“Why is Ella chasing him?”
.....
Is his son looking for trouble with Ella again? Actually, Christian didn’t want to get involved in their problems.
He knew that he had spoiled his son too much and complied with almost all of Nathan’s requests all this time. It was the only way he knew to atone for his guilt for not being able to spend much time with his son. He felt sorry for his son who was always lonely...
Meanwhile, he didn’t want to be too harsh on Ella either. He had been rude to her before and he had promised never to do it again. Though Ella’s words had angered him last night, he only made love to her a few times and stopped when Ella was exhausted.
He also knew that he often felt complacent and obeyed Ella’s requests even though he didn’t want to.
The butler lowered his head and said, “Miss Ella chased after the young master when she saw the young master looking sad.”
“Since when did they get that close?” Christian snorted coldly. He headed straight for the garden before the butler answered.
By this time, the sun was already quite high in the sky, shining very brightly.
Nathan ran from his house into the garden, stepping on the grass.
With his tiny feet, he ran very fast. Even though his body was fat, he could still run nimbly.
He didn’t want to see the old hag to see him this sad. For some reason, everything Ella said made Nathan realize how lonely he had been...
Ella followed him and sadly realized that she couldn’t catch up to Nathan. Her legs and body really felt weak. It wasn’t easy for her to catch up to Nathan now.
Inwardly, she cursed Christian once again.
Just as she was about to continue pursuing Nathan, a cold voice sounded from behind her.
“Ella...”
Christian?
Ella thought Christian had left his house for the company. But apparently, he was still there.
“You run so fast. Looks like I didn’t work too hard last night.” Saying that, Christian walked to Ella’s side and grabbed her wrist.
Ella’s face reddened. As she struggled to free her hand, she realized that she was having a hard time moving because of the man’s strength.
She was worried to see Nathan who kept running.
“Your son ran away. Aren’t you going to look for him?”
Ella feels Christian is too relaxed. Is he not afraid that his son will disappear in this large house?
“The maids will look for him,” Christian’s voice is deep and his eyes are fixed on Ella.
The traces he left from last night were still on her neck, peeking through her shirt. Those reddish marks showed their madness.
“Ella, what exactly are you using?”
“Hah?”
Ella doesn’t understand what Christian means. Right now, all that was on her mind was Nathan. She couldn’t think of two things at once.
She tugged at Christian’s hand, holding it. “The most important thing now is to find your son. We’d better talk about something else later.”
She was really worried.
The fat kid had a stubborn attitude. What if he ran too far and ran into danger?
Unknowingly, Christian had let go of Ella’s hand.
It was the first time he had seen a woman who truly cared about her son. He didn’t know if Ella was really sincere or just pretending.
But he didn’t care much for it.
He knew that Ella had been pretending in front of him all this time. So, how Ella behaved in front of others didn’t matter to him.
Right now, Ella wasn’t thinking about Christian. Her head was filled with her worries for Nathan.
After running quite a distance, Nathan felt exhausted. He sat and lay on the grass trying to catch his breath.
When he looked back, he saw that there were only servants chasing after him. His lips immediately pouted.
It’s true, all women are liars, including that old hag!
Otherwise, why didn’t the woman go after him?
“Young master.”
As Nathan was thinking, the servant had already run up to his side panting heavily.
“Go away.”
Before the maid could speak, Nathan had stood up and brushed the grass off his shirt. He followed the servant back to his house.
At first, Ella didn’t pay much attention. But after running quite a distance, she complained why Christian’s house was so much bigger than normal houses.
What a rich man!
Her head kept looking left and right, while Christian’s gaze was fixed on Ella’s back.
Is it true that all of this is just an act? Is this woman’s acting that great?
In fact, Christian already knew that his son had returned home, but he didn’t want to tell Ella. He didn’t even know what his reason was.
He wanted to make Ella feel worried...
Over time, Ella felt exhausted. She sat on the grass, gasping for air. She lifted her head and asked Christian, “Christian, try asking your maid. Maybe they’ve found Nathan already?”
Under the sun, Ella’s face looked so beautiful. With the view of the garden behind her, the woman looked as if coming from a painting.
Since she had walked quite a distance just now, sweat started to fall down her temples. Her nose was also wet. She looked so cute right now...
Christian looked at Ella. For some reason, he could feel himself sinking deeper.
“Christian?”
She couldn’t understand why Christian was daydreaming at a time like this.
“Hmm?”
Christian immediately regained his senses and he held out his hand to Ella. “Let’s go back to the house. Let’s take a break.”
Ella just looked at the outstretched hand and then her eyes shot up to Christian’s face.
Time goes by very slowly. The two of them just looked at each other without moving an inch.
Christian isn’t in a hurry, leaving his hand outstretched like this, waiting for Ella to take it.
Stubborn.
They’re both stubborn...
