Chapter 66
To Ella, it was this person who had ruined her life, her most beautiful youth.
To Ella, it was this person who pushed her into hell with their own hands, along with several others.
For Ella, Merry is that person.
Ella knew very well that her miserable days were Merry’s doings.
If it wasn’t for Merry, Indri wouldn’t have been able to think so cunningly.
Although Indri always thought of herself, such a cruel plan was not something a girl of Indri’s age could think of.
“Hey, why don’t you walk?”
Nathan went far enough to notice that Ella wasn’t following him. Finally, he looked back.
.....
Today, Ella took him to this place to buy some good food and like it or not, Nathan had to do it.
But what he saw this time took him by surprise.
Ella stood where she was with her hands tightly clenched. Her body no longer exuded the charming and graceful aura she had before.
She looks so cold now.
Ella looked just like the boy’s father when she’s angry.
Nathan looked at her in bewilderment, pursed his lips, wondering what had made Ella so angry.
Did she hate him as much as the other women?
While thinking about this, Nathan suddenly felt uncomfortable. He looked at the stroller he had brought before lonely.
He wasn’t tall enough to touch the handle at the top. He could only hold his legs with his tiny hands.
And he feels so sad.
Ella’s eyes fell on the pair of mother and child who were slowly drifting away. After that, she tried to cover up the hatred in her eyes.
In an instant, she turned into the previous Ella, the sweetly smiling Ella.
“Nathan.”
Hearing Ella’s call, Nathan immediately hid his feelings and rolled his eyes, looking indifferent. “Why are you just standing there?”
He couldn’t stop himself from asking again.
“I saw someone who was really annoying,” Ella smiled, not wanting to name the person.
Nathan’s eyes sparkled with hope. Apparently, Ella doesn’t hate him like other women who approach his father. Just now, she wasn’t looking at him, was she?
Maybe Ella was looking at someone else...
“Who is that person?” Nathan insisted on asking until the end.
“Fat boy...” Ella crouched down in front of Nathan and looked at him. “The person I hate is someone who has ruined my life. Because of her, I really suffered.”
“What does it mean?” Nathan didn’t understand what Ella meant.
He was too young to understand such things. What’s more, Ella only gave hints, and didn’t tell the truth directly.
“That...” Ella’s eyes seemed to dim and the smile on her lips faded. Right now, she really needed someone to talk to. Even though the person in front of her was only a 5 year old child who didn’t understand anything, she still wanted to tell her story.
“Would you like to hear my story?” She asked.
Nathan saw a glint in Ella’s eyes. It was not a gleam of joy or joy, but rather tears that threatened to fall. After thinking for a moment, he nodded. “Fine, you can tell me.”
“I’ve liked someone before,” Ella took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “I... I thought I would marry him one day. But then...”
“But then?”
Ella stopped talking for a while and Nathan couldn’t help but ask.
Seeing the curious child’s face, Ella suddenly felt it was inappropriate to tell this to a child. She shouldn’t involve children in her problems.
She thought for a moment, took a deep breath and suppressed the bitterness she was feeling.
“I... I didn’t marry him,” after saying that, Ella got up and walked over to choose a snack.
Nathan’s eyes widened. “Is that all?”
What kind of story is this?
“Yep.” Ella looked into Nathan’s face and felt a lot calmer in her heart. She didn’t have time to tell all the pain in her heart, but when there was someone who wanted to hear it, it was enough for her.
It was indeed painful to open the wounds of her past, but this fat boy in front of her made her feel much better.
Her eyes softened as she looked at Nathan.
Nathan still didn’t understand. “You lied to me, right? There must be more behind it...”
His curiosity was aroused and he had planned to listen carefully to Ella’s story. But it turned out that the story ended just like that.
After that, Ella ignored him.
“Hey! You have to tell me!”
Nathan scrunched up his tiny face and looked at Ella angrily. But Ella felt that expression didn’t suit the boy at all.
“I already told you. The story is over,” she said with a sweet smile.
Nathan was too young to understand the cruel world of adults.
“Oh, I see. I think I understand it even if you don’t want to tell me,” Nathan snorted proudly. “They bullied you, right?”
Ella was slightly surprised and felt her eyes sting. But she forced her head to shake. “I’m so smart, you know! How could they possibly bully me?”
Nathan held Ella’s hand as if he could see what Ella was hiding in her heart.
Ella thought Nathan would ask again. But the boy turned his gaze elsewhere, “Let’s go shopping. By the way, where are the snacks you mentioned earlier?”
“I’ll take you.”
Ella held his hand back, feeling Nathan’s small but firm hand.
“Which one do you want?”
When he arrived at the snack shelves, Nathan’s eyes immediately lit up. He had only seen all of this in TV commercials. It turns out that these foods are called snacks!
“Which one is good?” He turned and asked Ella. However, before Ella had time to choose, Nathan continued again, “I want to try them all, one each.”
Ella immediately regretted taking Nathan to the supermarket. Why did the thought even cross her mind? If Nathan wanted to buy one from each kind, how would they bring them later?
Even Nathan wouldn’t be able to carry a single plastic bag.
“Nathan, did you bring a bodyguard?”
“Why should I bring a bodyguard?” Nathan snorted at Ella and continued, “Do you think this young master is not strong enough to protect himself and his babysitter?”
Nathan thought that Ella was still thinking about the previous problem, regarding the people who bullied her.
Ella gave Nathan a thumbs up. “Of course you are enough.”
It is true that Nathan is Christian’s son. His brain and his demeanor... the resemblance is pretty uncanny. He might’ve been more confident than children his age.
Nathan was feeling very excited. He had already let go of Ella’s grip on his hand and grabbed the colorful snacks, throwing them into his stroller. His tiny feet were moving very nimbly now.
“Ahhh!”
Suddenly, a scream was heard, making Nathan very surprised.
Ella turned her head and looked for the source of the voice while asking, “What’s wrong?”
