144 The Biggest Luck of My Life
All the way back to Christian’s house, Ella kept paying attention to the news about Indri and Haikal, even reading every comment under the news.
Nathan leaned close to her, not understanding why Ella was so focused on the phone screen. Until finally, he saw a photo showing Indri’s face, Nathan realized that the woman in the photo was the evil woman who had bullied them at the supermarket before. Nathan immediately understood and said, “Old woman, is that her? That evil lady?”
Nathan still remembered the evil woman. “What’s with her?”
The boy was getting closer to Ella and his hand was holding Ella’s arm. His attention had been completely drawn to this news.
“A kid shouldn’t know the business of adults.”
Ella didn’t want Nathan to get involved in this problem. Besides, Indri was not a good person and Ella didn’t want her to affect Nathan.
Because of Ella’s words, Nathan’s chubby face immediately pouted. He might be small, but he was not stupid.
He was not happy when Ella treated him like a child who could not do anything.
As he got out of the car, the butler could see his annoyed face and greeted him immediately. “Young master, you have returned. Master is waiting for you in the living room.”
.....
The butler didn’t dare say that Christian was sitting in the living room looking angry.
Nathan just nodded and glanced at Ella briefly. He snorted and then left Ella as his short legs stepped forward.
“Give the flower to my father yourself!”
Ella could only shake her head with a smile, feeling exasperated by Nathan who was sulking. Her hand was still holding the rose she chose. But just as she was about to enter the house, the butler stopped her.
“Miss, is this the flower for Master?”
He had heard what had happened to his Master. A servant told him that his master asked Ella for a bouquet of flowers. But now all he saw in Ella’s hand was a single rose.
Ella smiled. “It’s not the amount that matters, but the feeling in it.”
Of course Ella wouldn’t give Christian ninety-nine roses. Let alone ninety-nine, she didn’t even want to spend more for a bouquet of roses.
Entering the living room, Ella saw Christian sitting on the sofa holding a business magazine in his hand.
At first, he was not aware of Ella’s arrival. However, the sound of Ella’s footsteps made him notice her presence.
Ella cursed him repeatedly in her heart. This man only pretended to be calm and cold in front of her. What a cruel man!
“Christian...”
Ella walked over to Christian carrying flowers behind her back. She looked at Christian with a mysterious smile on her face.
Christian immediately raised an eyebrow when he saw Ella carrying nothing. “Where are the flowers?” He asked, frowning.
How could Ella possibly hide a bouquet of ninety-nine flowers? Was Ella not willing to spend money to buy him flowers and come back empty-handed?
When he thought about it, Ella was indeed that type of woman.
Just as Christian was about to ask, Ella already reached out to cover his eyes.
“I wanted to surprise you.”
Ella’s tiny hands covered Christian’s eyes, allowing the man to feel the warmth of her palms.
For some reason, the woman’s touch could calm him down.
Ella didn’t expect Christian to actually close his eyes obediently. Only then did Ella realize that Christian was really looking forward to the flower from her. If she took out this ugly flower in her hand, would Christian...
After waiting for a long time, Christian became more and more impatient. When he opened his eyes, he saw the doubt on Ella’s face.
He immediately pulled Ella into his arms. Of course his movement allowed him to see the rose in Ella’s hand, which she had struggled to hide behind her body.
“Give it to me,” he said, raising an eyebrow.
Actually, Christian had prepared himself if Ella came back empty-handed. But he did not expect that Ella would fulfill his wish and buy him a flower.
Even if there was only one stalk, it was enough to make him happy.
Ella gave the flower with a little panic and nervousness. “Y-you know I don’t have any money. I can’t afford ninety-nine roses...”
The more she spoke, the more Ella felt her confidence decrease. She lowered her head, waiting for Christian’s answer.
Even though it’s only one stalk, the flower was very beautifully wrapped. Christian found a card inside and his lips smiled as he read the words scribbled on the white paper.
That one sentence was enough to make him happy.
“Read it to me.”‘
He handed the card to Ella and wrapped his arms around her waist. Christian’s whisper made Ella feel so embarrassed that the tip of her ear turned red.
Ella suddenly felt sorry. Why did she have to give the card to Christian? Why did she have to be so romantic? Now she must bear the consequences!
Reluctantly, Ella could only take the card and read its contents.
“Christian, meeting you was the greatest fortune of my life.”
As she wrote it, Ella didn’t think much of it. But now, that sentence sounded like a love confession. After reading it, her face immediately turned red like a tomato.
“Is it sincere?” Christian asked in a low voice.
Ella nodded immediately.
She did feel very lucky to have met Christian. Christian gave her a place to live in peace, not letting her live in the shadow of the Maheswara Family or the mental hospital that had imprisoned her for the past five years.
Because of her relationship with Christian, no one dared to disturb her, nor insult her for her past.
If it weren’t for Christian, everyone would have laughed at her, thinking she was a lunatic.
Everyone would embarrass her because she spent her last five years in a mental hospital.
Everyone would look down on her and think of her as the crazy eldest daughter of the Maheswara Family and was kicked out of her house.
While thinking about this, Ella hugged Christian back and rested her chin on the man’s shoulder.
“I will never be able to repay your kindness. If one day you are in trouble, if you have no place to live and no food, you can come to me. I will take good care of you.”
Christian felt very happy when he heard the first sentence. But the next sentence made him a little gloomy.
“Are you looking forward to that day? When I can’t eat and live in peace?”
Ella didn’t answer.
She just bit Christian’s neck in annoyance.
