Chapter 52
Perhaps because Ella’s eyes were so clear, Christian finally believed her words. However, he felt annoyed again after that.
Why does he keep talking nonsense with this woman? If he wanted to, Ella would never be able to escape from him. He could just bind her by his side.
He removed his hand from Ella’s chin, wrapped his arms around her waist, and kissed her lips gently. “What did you eat earlier?”
“Porridge...”
Ella didn’t dare say that she finished all the food the maid served on the table.
After making love to Christian all night, not to mention running far enough to catch up to Nathan, she had exhausted all her energy. She was so hungry that it felt like she could eat all the food on her plates.
“What kind of porridge? What else besides it?” Christian continued to ask.
Ella immediately felt guilty and worried. Had Christian not had breakfast yet? Could it be that he also wanted to eat?
.....
However, Ella had finished all the food on the dining table. What would Christian eat now?
“Hmm?” Christian urged Ella to answer, displeased at being ignored.
“Chicken porridge, omelet, hotplate...”
Ella replied in a voice that was getting lower and lower. And Christian’s next sentence confirmed her guess.
“I want to try them too.”
Before Christian could get to his feet, Ella immediately stopped him.
“Christian,” Ella hugged Christian by the waist, restraining him from leaving. She looked up and saw Christian’s face. “You haven’t had breakfast yet?”
“You think I’ve eaten?” Christian’s voice seemed an octave lower.
It seemed, this woman didn’t care about him. The thought irritated Christian. “Is this how you treat me, the one who helped you?”
“That...”
Ella couldn’t answer Christian’s question.
Who would’ve known that a man, who was very organized in his life, never skipped meals, always paid attention to every appearance, clothes and so on... actually skipped his breakfast today...
However, this was not fully her fault. If Christian hadn’t eaten yet, why didn’t he follow her as she walked into the dining room earlier? If he had followed her, they could’ve eaten together.
Ella seemed to find an excuse and immediately asked, “Christian, you should have told me before. When I went to the dining room, why didn’t you come along?”
Ella blinked repeatedly, trying to look innocent and charming at the same time.
Christian’s warm breath drew closer to Ella as he said softly, “Shouldn’t you know for yourself without me saying it? You should be the one taking care of me.”
“Taking care of you?”
The smile on Ella’s face almost collapsed.
How should she take care of Christian? Did she also need to know how many times Christian went to the bathroom in a day? Or maybe should she just follow him around and remind Christian of his schedule for going to the bathroom?
Ella tried to contain her annoyance in her heart. She couldn’t express her anger. She could only swallow it back. “Christian, wait a moment. I’ll have your maid prepare food for you. Once the food is ready, don’t forget to finish it all.”
As soon as Ella got to her feet, Christian said in a low voice, “No need. I’m going to the office.”
“Okay. Be careful on the way.” Ella immediately waved her hand at Christian sweetly, bidding farewell. However, she said with annoyance inside her heart. ‘You fucking bastard!’
Ella’s sweet appearance resembled that of a beautiful housewife, and it unknowingly made Christian smile a little. However, he tried to keep his voice cold and indifferent as he spoke, “Come with me.”
“I...”
“Hmm?”
“Y-yeah. I will come with you!”
Those sweet words left Ella’s lips very smoothly. However, in her heart, Ella cursed Christian many times. She was really tired and wanted to rest, but she couldn’t seem to get away from Christian.
Finally, she followed Christian to his car obediently.
When the car started to run smoothly, Ella’s eyes felt very heavy. She felt very sleepy and finally she fell asleep.
Christian turned to his side and looked at Ella who was fast asleep.
Her loose hair looks a little messy, covering her face. Her beautiful eyes were closed and her face was peaceful.
As the car continued to rock, Ella’s head also stumbled forward. However, that alone was not enough to wake her up. She’d fallen into a deep sleep from exhaustion.
Christian hugs Ella’s waist and pulls her to lean on her shoulder. He told the driver to drive slower. After that, he looked again at the document in his hand.
It took twenty minutes later than usual to arrive at the company because the car was moving slower. Christian sees the woman leaning on his shoulder still fast asleep, showing no sign of waking up.
Finally, the man got out of the car first and then carried Ella.
You could say it’s a miracle when Christian comes late to his office. Usually, he is always on time and never skips work. But today, he was quite late. Plus, Christian comes with a woman in his arms.
The women working at the reception desk looked at their CEO and tried to control themselves, swallowing back the screams that were almost escaping their mouths.
This was an extremely rare sight, making them unable to believe their own eyes.
Various pairs of eyes looked at Christian with surprise and astonishment. Christian just gives them a cold stare, making everyone bow their heads respectfully.
As they entered the elevator, Christian saw Ella still asleep in his arms. Even when he carried her, Ella didn’t wake up at all.
It wasn’t until Christian arrived in his office that he realized why he had brought this woman into his office.
“Ella,” he called suddenly.
Ella was sleeping soundly, dreaming about her child. The two of them were living peacefully, happily playing in their garden. Suddenly, the devil came and called his name.
“Ahhh!”
Ella was so scared that she suddenly woke up, but right now she was in Christian’s arms.
Christian didn’t expect Ella’s reaction to be like this. He tried to hold Ella’s body with his hands, but in the end, their heads bumped into each other.
“Ouch! H-hurts...!”
Ella immediately shouted. She was confused when she saw Christian in front of her, but it seemed she hadn’t completely woken up from her sleep to realize her current condition.
She felt her head hurt terribly, and screamed at Christian, scolding him for being too close in front of her. “What are you doing in front of me?”
“Huh? Say it one more time!”
