67 Meeting Despite Dodging
“Ahhh!”
A scream rang out, making Ella realize that Nathan was no longer beside her. So excited, Nathan ran to the other shelf without waiting for Ella.
“Nathan, what’s wrong?” Ella looked for where Nathan had gone, but instead she saw two people she least wanted to see on this earth.
Merry and Indri.
Time seemed to stop moving. Ella could only look at the two people in front of her carefully. She didn’t think that she would still run into these two despite her effort in avoiding them.
It seems fate is indeed strange.
“Are you blind?” A woman’s shrill scream was heard loudly.
The scream caught the attention of several visitors around.
It was Indri who shouted. After that, she looked towards the middle-aged woman beside her with worry. “Mother, are you alright?”
.....
“I’m fine.” Even though her mouth said it was okay, Merry’s forehead looked wrinkled. It was obvious that she was annoyed.
Ella knew that Indri really liked this game. Indri really liked to be a kind and devoted child to her parents, especially when she was in public or in front of other people.
She acted as if she was the most devoted and kindest child to her parents, on this earth.
After confirming that her mother was okay, she turned to Nathan and shouted loudly, “Whose son are you? Are you blind? You have no eyes, huh!”
“I... I didn’t mean to.” Nathan was not a coward. But when he faced an aggressive adult like Indri, of course he would feel scared. What’s more, he didn’t know whether this woman in front of him would hurt him or not.
Judging from her aggressiveness, this woman could have hit him.
What kind of little 5 year old child wouldn’t be afraid of this?
Nathan’s body was short and small so he didn’t see any adults in front of him. Moreover, he was so excited that he moved very quickly without paying attention to his surroundings.
“Oh, you impudent child! You’ve never been properly educated, have you? You’ve done something wrong, but why don’t you apologize? Whose child are you? Let me see what kind of parents raise and educate a kid like you,” said Indri, constantly yelling at Nathan with all her insults.
Her status as a daughter of the Maheswara Family had made her arrogant. Plus, she is engaged to Haikal now. In this city, who can stand against her?
With such a background, of course she would feel arrogant.
Nathan took a step back, feeling pressured by the woman before him. However, he felt his body being hugged by someone from behind. After that, his feet no longer touched the ground. He floated and his body was now in a woman’s arms.
That woman was none other than Ella.
The faint scent of the woman’s body made Nathan feel calm. He could smell the same soap his father used.
He was afraid of the woman who scolded him earlier. That woman was so fierce. Maybe if Ella didn’t come, the woman would hit him.
Ella raised her head and looked at the two people in front of her with a calm gaze, “I want to ask this young lady. You yell at a small child in a supermarket, in front of a lot of people. Who were the parents who gave birth to and raised you to be such an impudent person? Didn’t your parents teach you etiquette?” Ella said, insulting Indri back. She heard Indri’s insult to Nathan and used it to get back at Indri.
In fact, the parents who gave birth to and educated Indri were also her parents, to be more precise, her father. But Ella didn’t care anymore. Her former home was no longer her home.
She no longer had a home.
If she could cross out her family’s name, she would erase Maheswara from her name.
Hearing Ella’s words, Nathan felt much braver than before. Especially when he saw the shocked expressions on the faces of the two women in front of him, Nathan became even more delighted.
“Good job,” Nathan whispered in Ella’s ear.
Ella’s lips curved into a smile. She smiled at Nathan. She felt guilty for not taking good care of this child, allowing him to meet bad people.
Ella used her other hand to lightly stroke Nathan’s head.
The situation caught the attention of many people. One by one they began to gather to witness what was happening.
Indri’s face looked unsightly, but she looked even more surprised.
Ella!
“Why are you here?” She shouted uncontrollably.
Only then did Ella look at the two of them. “Oh, it turned out I was talking to my stepmother and step-sister. What a coincidence.”
Merry initially felt a little surprised. But she soon regained her composure and showed her graceful face. “Ella, where are you going? I’m worried about you.”
The woman looked sincere. As she stepped forward to touch Ella, the woman immediately dodged her.
“Ella, why are you... Are you mad at me?”
You could say, Merry did her best to play a good mother. Even tears streamed down her face.
“I know you’re worried about me.” Ella looked indifferent and said quietly, “You are worried that I will live too long, return home and take revenge on you, right?”
Ella had no intention of taking their treatment for granted. She would make them pay for whatever they did to her.
Nathan leaned on Ella’s shoulder, frowning.
That auntie looked like a bad woman pretending to be nice!
Nathan coughed loudly to get everyone’s attention and said, “Your hypocritical face is very, very ugly, old woman!”
There was a crack on Merry’s perfect face.
But in an instant, her face returned to its former expression. “This child is very sweet.”
“Child?”
Indri stepped forward and looked at Nathan. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. “Is this the illegitimate child you gave birth to without knowing the father?”
PLAQUE!
The loud noise made the entire supermarket fall into silence.
Ella carried Nathan with one hand and slapped Indri with the other.
The slap was so hard that it not only hurt Indri’s cheek, but also her palm. But Ella was very satisfied.
Nathan immediately laughed and gave Ella two thumbs up. “Good! Evil people should be punished!”
He also hated the two women in front of him.
“You dare to hit me...!” Indri held her face angrily. “Ella, you really are dead now. I will report you to the police!” Indri took out her cell phone to call the police.
Nathan blinked in surprise and looked at Ella before saying with a whisper, “Hey, you are in big trouble!”
