Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress-Chapter 296

296 I Don’t Want You To Be My Mother

“What are you doing here?” Christian knew that Nathan didn’t like painting. At home, his son was only interested in TV. f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

“I was just looking around.” Nathan looked a little guilty when he lied to his father. But Christian didn’t have time to notice the expression on his face. After looking around once more, Christian’s gaze fell on his son.

“What did you see here?”

“Hah?” Nathan didn’t expect Christian to get this answer. He was surprised and said, “Nothing.”

Christian’s face looked stiff again. He was sure that his son was hiding something from him.

Meanwhile, Luca was listening to the conversation between the two of them. He couldn’t help but smile slightly when he realized how loyal Nathan was to Ella.

The boy was only 5 years old, but he already knew the meaning of loyalty. He would never betray the people who were important to him.

Christian’s son was very young, but very attractive. ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

“Nathaniel Adipamungkas,” Christian suddenly called his son’s full name. His eyes fell on the boy’s face. “I’ll give you one last chance.”

.....

If Nathan didn’t want to tell the truth, Christian would punish him severely.

Nathan immediately lowered his head. It was the first time his father had called him by his full name. He didn’t expect that it would sound so scary!

“What last chance?” Even though Nathan was afraid, he still thought about Ella’s words.

What should he tell his father? How should he explain it?

“Who did you meet here?”

Christian looked at his son coldly. Within that gaze, there was a hope that the others were unaware of. Did Nathan meet Ella?

Christian’s mind was filled with that woman.

Nathan shook his head firmly. “No, I’m not meeting anyone.”

This time, Luca walked up to them and said, “This boy was alone just now.”

Christian lifted his head and looked at the man before him. The first time he saw the man, he could guess that he was in his 30s. He wore casual clothes, making him easy to approach. With a smile on his face, he displayed a friendliness that made everyone feel comfortable.

Seeing this man made Christian think of Liam.

And it also made the expression on his face unsightly.

He thought back to the man who kept trying to find Ella, haunting the woman.

Of course Luca could see Christian’s mood swings. He was confused. What did he do wrong to make Christian angry?

Seeing Luca come up to him and help him talk to his father, Nathan hurriedly said, “Dad, this is the owner of the studio. He asked me why I came here alone.”

Nathan looked doubtful for a moment and then asked, “I spoke to the man about the news that has been circulating since this morning. Are you really going to marry that woman?”

Christian frowned upon hearing this question.

“I have my own plans.”

How could he marry that woman? He had a plan that he couldn’t tell a kid at Nathan’s age.

The vague answer made Nathan’s fat face contort. “Father, I really hate that woman. Can you not marry her?” He asked, eyeing Christian, as if he wanted to know his father’s thoughts.

Christian crouched down in front of Nathan and held his son in his arms. After that, he walked out.

Nathan became even more panicked because his father did not answer his question. “Father, if you want to get married, find a woman who is as beautiful as the old woman!”

Nathan didn’t like Nadia’s ugly face and heart at all.

Christian’s eyes were gloomy as he said, “She’s gone.”

With annoyance on his face, Nathan wanted to open his mouth and tell his father that Ella was very close to him. But a second later, he swallowed his words again.

Luca looked at the scene before him with a surprised look. He wondered how Christian really felt about Ella.

Meanwhile, in the inner room, Ella’s heart fluttered when she heard what Christian had to say. She lowered her head and realized that there was a warmth surrounding her hand.

“Liam?” She looked at Liam in surprise.

Liam just smiled at her “Ella, do you want to go back to him?”

Ella shook her head. “No. Why do you ask that?”

“If you really don’t want to go back to him, don’t show that kind of expression.”

Liam’s face looked serious, showing concern for Ella. He was afraid that Ella would decide to leave here and return to Christian’s side. He was afraid he wouldn’t be able to see Ella again.

Because he knew that Ella’s heart was currently wavering.

Without saying anything else, Ella patted her cheek, as if trying to wake herself up. The conversation between her and Liam grew less and less and they finally fell silent.

Luca went inside and said, “They’re gone.”

Ella’s body that had been tense all this time finally regained its composure. She breathed a sigh of relief. “Good.”

Liam looked at Ella’s face, as if trying to observe her feelings. In the end, nothing happened. Everything he feared did not happen.

Ella didn’t return to Christian. Ella was still by his side.

He said nothing, got up and left.

Luca’s eyebrows shot up at the sight. “Sometimes, the best option is to follow your heart.”

He had experienced it before and he didn’t want Ella to feel any regrets in the future.

Ella just smiled bitterly and said, “Brother, do you know how big the distance between me and him is? I won’t be able to catch up with him just by taking a few steps.”

A woman like Nadia was worthy of Christian. Maybe Nadia wasn’t the best choice, but it was the most suitable choice for the man right now.

Luca nodded and decided to respect Ella’s decision.

He walked out of the room, surprised to see Liam still standing outside. The door to the room opened. Liam must have heard what Ella said earlier.

Just as he was about to ask, Liam suddenly said first, “Whatever Ella chooses, I will always support her. But if she doesn’t want to choose Christian, why won’t she wait for me?”

Why did he have to return late to Indonesia? Why did Ella have to meet Christian first and fall in love with him? Why didn’t Ella give him a chance if she really didn’t want to have anything to do with Christian?

Why didn’t Liam have a chance at all?

Luca found that he couldn’t comfort the man in front of him. The only thing he could do was pat him lightly on the shoulder and wish everyone the best.

...

Nathan got into the car and felt even more sad.

He didn’t want to go back home. He didn’t want to see the ugly woman named Nadia.

Beside him, Christian closed his eyes, as if he didn’t want anyone to bother him. His face was calm, but his heart was in turmoil.

For some reason, his heart felt empty.

After returning to his house in silence, Nathan saw Nadia sitting on the sofa. The woman’s presence made his anger resurface.

He clenched his fists and ran towards Nadia.

“Bad woman! I don’t want you to be my mother!”
