Chapter 359 - 359 Nathan’s Childhood
Ella looked at the man behind her and shuddered when she saw a wide smile on his face. She felt that Christian would punish someone after this.
Christian placed his fingers on the keyboard and typed a few times. Ella saw a line on the screen slowly rising and it didn’t take long before it descended down like a free fall.
“What does this mean?” Ella turned and looked at the man beside her.
“It is the shares of the Maheswara Family,” Christian replied casually.
He knew that Ella did not want to involve him in the Maheswara Family’s problems. In the past, Ella had asked for his help to get revenge. But after they got back together, Ella never talked about revenge.
Christian felt a little frustrated by this. He’d had the chance to do it before, but he still couldn’t trust Ella.
Now, when he wanted to give Ella everything she wanted, she never asked.
Christian grabbed Ella’s chin, forcing her to look up at him and ask, “Why don’t you ask me for help?”
.....
Ella just looked at him blankly.
“I know what my grandfather told you.” Christian picked Ella from the work chair and placed her in his lap.
That one sentence made Ella frown.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Christian asked in a low voice, making Ella suddenly feel unfairly treated.
She wasn’t a hypocrite. She also wanted to tell her problem to someone. But if she told Christian about it, she would want to depend on him even more and want more from him.
“I don’t want to destroy the relationship between the two of you,” Ella said in a weak voice.
Christian laughed when he heard what Ella had to say. It turned out that Ella didn’t want to tell him about this problem because she was thinking about it.
He felt that the woman in his arms was really stupid, so he said, “I had a really bad relationship with him from the start.”
“Hah?” Ella couldn’t believe it. “But he was very good to you. He did everything for your good.”
All parents will always act like Hartono. As a grandfather, of course he expected his grandson to find a suitable woman.
Christian’s face looked a little gloomy when he heard Ella’s words.
“I haven’t told you about Nathan yet, have I?” Christian said. “Grandpa didn’t want to acknowledge Nathan at that time. Even after I did a DNA test and showed that Nathan was my biological son, grandfather still felt that Nathan was an illegitimate child who should not have been born into this world. Therefore, he did not allow me to announce this in front of everyone. After that incident…”
“My relationship with him deteriorated.”
“But Nathan used to live in the main house, didn’t he?” Ella’s eyes went wide as she listened. She remembered Nathan’s fear of Hartono. Maybe it was because it was related to Hartono’s harsh attitude towards him.
“When Nathan was 3 years old, he took Nathan with him. At that time, I was very busy working and was not in Indonesia for about 8 months. When I returned to Indonesia, Nathan had lived in that house for 1 year.”
Christian’s eyes remained on the screen as he told the story. There was a complicated feeling radiating from his eyes.
Ella knew Christian was blaming himself for what happened. As a father, he had failed to provide security and comfort for his own son.
“It’s not your fault. Don’t think too much about it.” Ella raised her hand to grip Christian’s hand tightly.
Christian could hear the sound of his heart beating fast as their hands intertwined. He lowered his head and kissed Ella’s lips.
Ella hugged Christian’s neck and returned the kiss.
Christian immediately picked her up and carried her to the room that was connected to his study.
After Christian put her down on the bed, Ella immediately hid under the covers and looked at the man in front of her uncomfortably.
“Christian, can’t you hold yourself back?”
Every night Christian continued to torture her like crazy!
“Are you feeling weak?” Christian smiled mischievously, forcing Ella to grip the blanket even tighter.
Ella shook her head and looked at Christian pitifully.
“You’re so tiny,” Christian said, petting Ella’s head. “But you drive me crazy.”
Christian was actually able to control himself. But when he met Ella, he seemed to lose all reasons.
“That is your own perverted thought. Why are you blaming me?” Ella pursed her lips and pushed away Christian’s hand that was approaching her.
“Next time there’s something, don’t hide it from me. Do you understand?” Suddenly, Christian turned serious. “If something makes you sad, tell me. I am here, I will not let you suffer.”
“Hmm…” Ella felt the warmth from Christian. It turns out that this is what Christian looks like when he’s gentle and warm. Even though he couldn’t change his habit of showing a scary face, Ella could feel the concern from his words.
“From today onwards, you must always be with me.” Christian thought for a moment before making that decision.
He wanted Ella to stay with him so that his grandfather couldn’t do anything to Ella.
“No,” Ella immediately refused.
She still wanted to go to the studio and learn to paint with Luca. Plus, whenever she was with Christian, the man would always turn into a hungry wolf.
“Say it one more time…” Christian said in a cold voice, leaving Ella speechless. This man’s face was still the same as before, fierce and sinister.
“I… I’m afraid it will affect your work.”
“No problem!”
But trouble for Ella!
“Christian, I think we should keep our distance for a longer lasting relationship,” Ella said as she hugged Christian’s waist. “If we’re always together, I can’t concentrate on painting.”
Her soft voice rang in Christian’s ears, making the man’s heart waver. Looking at his hesitating look, Ella continued, “How about you arrange for your bodyguards to follow me?”
“You prefer my bodyguard over me?”
Christian was displeased when he saw the plea in Ella’s eyes. All women always wanted to stick to him. But why did Ella want to stay away from him? Doesn’t she like him?
“It’s not like that,” Ella knew Christian would be angry so she tried to calm him down. “You’re so handsome. If you were by my side, I wouldn’t be able to concentrate.”
Christian knew that what Ella said was just a lie to calm him down. But Christian couldn’ fight back when he heard Ella whispering softly in his ear so he could only relent in the end. “I’ll have Leopard follow you.”
“Alright.”
Ella didn’t refuse because she had met Leopard several times and knew him quite well.
Looking at Christian’s face, Ella saw that the man’s forehead was still furrowed so Ella tried to comfort him again, “This is not a problem. I can protect myself. You also know I’m not a naive woman. I will not be easily fooled.”
