171 Fear of Losing
“Say it one more time!”
Christian felt his heart would explode soon because of this woman in front of him. He didn’t know why this woman always triggered his emotions.
Why couldn’t Ella understand what he wanted? Not only was her IQ low, but her EQ as well.
Besides, Ella always managed to make him angry.
Of course Ella wouldn’t dare repeat her words. She just lowered her head when she realized that her words had angered Christian again.
She couldn’t fight Christian. While Christian still had interest in her, Ella must seize this opportunity so as not to lose him, the only person who could help her to get what she needed.
“Christian, I’m sorry,” she said softly.
However, her apology could not immediately erase the anger in Christian’s heart.
Ella shifted her body closer to Christian and lifted the spoon she was holding. “Christian, come on. This is just for you,” she added when she saw Christian not moving an inch.
.....
Christian only glanced at Ella, but still had no intention of moving.
Ella could only grit her teeth and feel her hand that held the spoon in the air getting sore. “I’ve already admitted that I was wrong,” she said as she lowered her head and looked at her rumbling stomach. Her lips were pouting as she continued, “I haven’t had time to eat all day, but I prefer to bring food for you. I’m starving, but you don’t want to eat the food I brought...”
Tears started to well up in his eyes. Ella was sure Christian wouldn’t have the heart to see her cry like this.
Sure enough, Christian reacted immediately. His gaze fell on Ella’s face.
He didn’t like seeing this woman cry.
This woman should be smiling happily or looking really strong as usual.
“Don’t cry,” Christian said with a deep breath.
In the end, it was Christian who had to lose. He took the plate and spoon that Ella was holding and put them back on the table.
After that, he took her in his arms and allowed her to sit on his lap.
Ella’s tears kept falling one after another. Pressing her lips together, she said, “What exactly did I do wrong?” She felt that it was a shame that she did not become an artist. If she played a role in a movie, maybe she could get an award.
“Who told you to come home from my office?”
Christian felt frustrated when talking about this matter. He only went out for a while to get Ella a glass of warm milk, but when he came back, he couldn’t see Ella anywhere.
When did he ever get warm milk for a woman? Only this time and for Ella.
But he felt that this woman did not appreciate his kindness at all.
Now, Ella just understood it. Could it be that Christian wasn’t home from work at that time? Was she jumping to conclusions too soon?
Ella looked surprised and showed a sad look in front of Christian. “I thought you had gone home and left me. I also feel I need to remind myself of my place.”
“What do you mean by that?” Christian asked in a calm voice.
Is this woman’s eyesight really that bad? Can’t she see? When has Christian ever cared about any other woman besides Ella?
“I... I’m just a temporary woman to you,” Ella said, holding Christian’s shirt tighter as if she was deliberately trying to wrinkle it.
She had never felt a crisis like this before because apart from her, no other woman had ever been close to Christian. Ella was relieved and confident that she would be able to reach her goal as quickly as possible.
But today was a slap in the face for her.
What was Nathan’s biological mother like? What if that woman kicked her out of Christian’s heart? What if Christian just left her as soon as she came back?
“Ella, is your eyesight that bad?” The sudden question made Ella confused. She shook her head. “Why are you suddenly asking?”
Was it possible that Christian liked women who wear glasses?
“Then you must have a problem with your brain,” Christian concluded at once.
Ella was about to refute it, but Christian grabbed her chin immediately. “Can’t you see how good I am to you? If there’s no problem in your eyes, it’s your brain that has the problem.”
“I...”
Ella literally almost exploded at Christian’s insults. Did he say that she had something wrong with her brain?
Isn’t it Christian’s fault? The man did not have the ability to show his feelings. How could Ella guess what was in the man’s heart if he didn’t say anything?
What kind of man would treat a woman who was special to him so rudely? Besides, Christian’s face is always sullen and gloomy!
She just dropped the coffee beans at Christian’s company but she had to pay double for them.
Besides, all the clothes in her closet were gifts from Christian’s son. The only thing the man gave her was the necklace around her neck.
But what does the gift mean? Christian gives the necklace to her as a gift for not lying to him!
It wasn’t a gift from a man to a woman he liked, but rather a threat so that Ella would never lie to Christian.
Ella tried to put on her usual smile and come up with an answer that pleased Christian. But she couldn’t.
Silently, she mumbled in search of the right answer. But she didn’t seem to have one.
“What are you thinking about?” Christian looked at Ella intently.
His instinct told him that Ella didn’t think anything good of him. In front of Christian, Ella always looked fake.
Although she kept smiling, she was always cursing and complaining about him inwardly.
Christian’s gaze seemed to be able to penetrate Ella’s heart, as if he could see what was in her heart and mind. Ella slightly backed away and immediately shook her head quickly. “No, I was just wondering if you would always be nice to me.”
Christian took a closer look at Ella. For some reason, today Ella seemed much softer than usual. The woman’s voice today was as calm as flowing water.
Christian felt odd, but he didn’t know what Ella was thinking.
“What do you think?” Christian asked Ella back.
Ella shook her head again. “Are you going to find a new woman one day to replace me?”
Only Christian knew whether Nathan’s birth mother would return or not. The woman he allowed to conceive and give birth to his child must have been very attractive in appearance, and even very intelligent.
Ella couldn’t underestimate her.
“It’s hard to answer,” Christian replied.
It was a deliberate answer. Christian just wanted to see how nervous Ella would be if he teased her like this.
He wanted Ella to be afraid of losing him.
