137 Not Getting Married
Being in Ella’s arms made Nathan feel very happy.
Same thing with Ella. No matter how hard her days were because of pressure from Christian, or because of her problems with her family, this chubby kid always gave her unexpected surprises.
That’s when Ella felt grateful for the decision she had made to become Nathan’s babysitter. Being able to see this child grow and change for the better was a very pleasing experience.
Nathan also felt very happy. He leaned in Ella’s arms and raised his tiny hands to return the hug. “Don’t worry. I will get my father to agree so we can get married.”
Ella immediately choked on her own spit at Nathan’s words. She let go of Nathan from her embrace and cleared her throat.
Why is this fat kid still thinking about marriage?
If she was also a 5 year old baby, maybe Ella would have nodded and agreed without hesitation because she knew that this chubby kid would definitely grow up to be a great man.
But unfortunately, Ella was 18 years older than Nathan. It was a crime to marry a child 18 years younger than her!
“Little master, we...”
.....
“Are you happy to go shopping?” Christian asked Nathan. However, his gaze remained fixed on Ella.
The woman did not reject his son.... Did she really want to marry Nathan?
Ella dared not raise her head under Christian’s gaze. She lowered her head and waited for an answer from Nathan.
Nathan was excited and nodded. “I am very happy. I also bought a lot of things for her. Dad, come and see them. Do they look good?”
Nathan immediately took another bag and took out a dress from it, then gave it to Ella. “You, quickly try this.”
Ella accepted the dress, but did not dare to raise her head.
Christian looked at Ella and back at his son. “Isn’t there one for me?” The question made Nathan realize that he had forgotten to buy something for his father.
Nathan didn’t know what to say and stubbornly remained silent. Christian asked once more, “Who is more important, me or your babysitter?”
He thought the question could be answered without a second thought. But Nathan looked doubtful for a while before muttering, “You are my father and that old woman is the future wife I will marry one day. How can I choose?”
Ella was flabbergasted. She was truly touched by Nathan’s words, but now it was far more important to save her own life.
“Of course your dad is more important,” Ella taught Nathan seriously. “You and your father are related by blood. Even if you marry your chosen one someday, you still have to respect your father.”
Ella said it seriously, not daring to turn to look at Christian.
Nathan tilted his head and asked, “Then, who is more important to you? Me or my father?”
“Of course...”
“Don’t forget who paid you.”
Christian’s words made Ella immediately shut her mouth.
Whatever the answer, she would still be wrong. So it’s better if she stayed silent.
Nathan didn’t understand how Ella was feeling so he urged her to answer. His tiny hands shook Ella’s hands. “Hey, just say it. I know I’m much more important than my dad, right? That’s why you want to marry me.”
Nathan’s adorable voice made Ella smile on her lips.
She imagined that her son was like him. If her son was like Nathan, she would not have to worry that her son would forget her after marrying someone he loved.
Ella didn’t know how to explain all this to Nathan. After thinking for a while, she finally said, “Little master, we are not getting married.”
“First of all, I’m much older than you,” Seeing Nathan’s disappointed face, Ella tried to explain, “There are many kinds of love in this world. I love you as a child, just as you feel for me. You like me because you depend on me. Just like... how you like your butler.”
Ella was talking nonsense, wondering if Nathan could understand the meaning of her explanation.
Nathan tilted his head and pouted for a long time. He understood Ella’s words a little, though not completely. After that he asked, “Then, who are you going to marry?”
At the thought of the old woman wanting to be with someone else, Nathan felt sad in his heart.
He didn’t know why.
Ella considered the matter very carefully, but she couldn’t find the right man.
Christian... Liam... They’re both way too far above her.
She didn’t deserve to be with any of them.
“I don’t know.” Ella smiled and shrugged her shoulders.
Christian frowned upon hearing that answer. Did this woman still plan to marry another man?
Nathan wanted to ask again, but before he could open his mouth, he saw his father tugging at the back of Ella’s shirt and forcing her to stand up.
Ella felt her heart drumming so hard. She didn’t understand what was wrong and wanted to ask. But a second later, she was carried off the floor. Christian put her on his shoulder, as if carrying a sack of rice.
Since her head was down, the blood rushed to her head making her face turn red. She immediately raised her head to look at Nathan and opened her mouth, hissing.
“Help me!”
Nathan immediately jumped off the couch and chased after Christian. “Father, are you...”
“Head butler, take the young master to his room,” as Christian’s order was heard, Nathan was immediately carried by the butler and they both left from there.
“Don’t worry, Young Master. Master only brought Miss Ella to try on her new clothes.”
“Then why don’t you guys bring the clothes upstairs?”
Nathan looked at the servants who were silent, standing on the side. The maids reacted immediately, taking several bags from the sofa and moving them upstairs.
After seeing that, Nathan just felt relieved.
On the other hand, Christian threw Ella on the big bed. Before she could rise to her feet, the man’s face drew closer to hers.
“Do you want to marry another man?” That dangerous tone made Ella gulp in panic
“No, I’m just answering Nathan’s question,” Ella’s gaze was lost, looking for an excuse to explain. “After all, a woman like me wouldn’t be able to get married.”
Somehow the reason that came out of her mouth sounded honest. That’s exactly what she thought.
Apart from a pretty face and a beautiful body, what else did she have?
She had no family, nor a good background.
She didn’t have a good education and had a very bad past.
She couldn’t cook, wasn’t smart enough, and wasn’t motherly either.
What did people see from her?
