169 Help Me Find My Mother
“I don’t want you anymore! I want my mother!” Nathan’s words took Ella by surprise.
Today, she had heard twice about Nathan’s mother. The first from Laras and the second from Nathan himself. Could it be that what Laras said was true?
Ella looked at the fat boy who was still rolling under his blanket with a doubtful mind. Would Nathan’s mother be back soon?
Nathan continued to roll around for quite a while but didn’t hear a response from Ella. As soon as he opened his blanket, he saw Ella idling with a blank gaze.
“Old woman!” Nathan turned and sat on his bed. “I’m talking to you!”
As a babysitter, shouldn’t Ella be coaxing him by now? Why did Ella even ignore him? Did she need to be told to do something as simple as this?
Ella looked at Nathan who was sulking and walked towards him. “I am guilty, Little Master. Next time I won’t do it again, okay?”
Ella was really tired.
After trying to please Christian, now she still had to persuade Nathan. It seemed she would age faster than she could think of.
.....
Apart from taking care of these two people, she still had to think about her love rival.
Inwardly, Ella could only take a deep breath.
Nathan wrinkled his tiny nose when he heard Ella’s apology. Did he just go too far? But he was very disappointed with what happened today.
He felt that Ella just left him. If he scolded Ella, he thought Ella would never leave him alone.
Nathan looked a little confused by Ella’s reaction as she just kept quiet.
He once read a book. The book said, a mother would love her child very much and would never leave him. If he could find his mother, would he be lonely and bored every day?
Nathan tilted his head and thought it was a very good idea.
“Old woman, can you help me find my mother?”
He moved his fat hand to approach Ella and took her hand. “I really miss my mother. Dad said my mom was dead, but I couldn’t believe it. I once asked the butler, but he said he knew nothing. If the butler didn’t know that my mother was dead, my father must have lied to me.”
Nathan looked very sure.
Ella also felt that what Nathan said made a lot of sense.
The butler had worked for this family for many years. There was no way he didn’t know about this kind of thing. Looks like Christian told them not to talk about Nathan’s mother in front of the boy.
For some reason, everything felt interconnected and only one conclusion could be drawn.
Nathan’s biological mother was still alive.
Maybe, as rumors said, Nathan’s mother was locked up on a deserted island by Christian because of her mistake.
Nathan was looking at Ella expectantly at this moment.
After thinking, Ella nodded. “If there’s anything I can help you with, I’ll definitely help you.”
Ella didn’t want to have any rivals, but she was more worried about Nathan’s feelings.
This fat boy did look arrogant and stubborn. But Ella also knew what Nathan was going through that made him much more mature than other children his age.
Ella couldn’t bear to see Nathan sad.
Even though Nathan got that answer, he somehow felt depressed. Hearing this old woman agree to his request did not make him feel happy.
It seemed he didn’t really want his mother back.
Nathan had never met his birth mother. What if his mother didn’t love him? What if his mother wasn’t as nice as Ella?
He still prefered Ella over his biological mother.
But he couldn’t swallow his own saliva. Nathan nodded and said, “Old woman, you can’t lie to me this time.”‘
“Hmm...” Ella smiled. Maybe, after Nathan’s mother returned later, she should leave this place.
Just thinking about it made her feel sad. Ella couldn’t help but hug Nathan.
“Fat boy, if I can... I want to stay as your babysitter.”
Ella thought that after Nathan’s birth mother returned, the woman would not be able to accept her being there. Unlike Nathan, any adult could understand the true relationship between Christian and Ella.
When that happened, Nathan would definitely hate her.
Nathan would surely hate her because she was trying to snatch his father from his birth mother.
Ella shook her head again after thinking about the matter. Why should she think about it now? It’s better to take a step at a time...
Just think about it later.
Nathan looked at Ella with a surprised look. He could never imagine Ella quitting her job as a babysitter.
In the past, he would have found a way to kick all babysitters, making them unable to stay any longer.
But he didn’t want Ella to go. He wanted Ella to always be near him.
“Do you want to leave me?” His hand gripped Ella’s shirt tighter. “I won’t let you.”
Ella looked softened and said, “I’m not going anywhere. But I’m a little hungry. Is there any good food?”
Ella’s answer made Nathan feel satisfied. He took Ella’s hand and asked her to come down. “Let’s eat.”‘
When they arrived downstairs, Christian was already seated at the dining table. His eyebrows rose when he saw Ella and Nathan descending the stairs together.
“What are you guys doing in the room?” His tone sounded displeased. As soon as he got home, Ella immediately left him and went with his son.
Ella even forgot he was there.
Nathan walked up to Christian in a good mood and said mysteriously, “This is my secret with her.”
Nathan knew his father didn’t want him to talk about his mother and Nathan decided to comply. He didn’t want to bear the consequences when his father got angry.
Christian’s gaze was fixed on Ella’s face. Seeing the panic on her face, Christian looked somber.
Why did this woman care about his son more than him? Even now, Ella prefered to keep her secret with Nathan.
Ella was right in front of him, but somehow Christian could sense that her thoughts weren’t on him.
“Ella...” When Christian called her name, only by then did Ella focus her attention on him.
“What is it? What can I do for you?” Ella’s answer made Christian even more depressed.
Everything Ella showed him was a lie. He could tell that she really cared about his son. Couldn’t she show the same to him?
Christian had lost his appetite now. He put back the spoon and fork he had just picked up and pushed back his chair. After that, he left Ella and Nathan alone in the dining room.
Ella didn’t understand what was happening. Nathan didn’t even know why his father was suddenly angry.
