174 Not Your Toy
“You... You are just one of my toys.”
Didn’t Ella herself say that she was his mistress? In that case, Christian would grant her wish.
Christian wanted Ella to be his woman, but Ella just wanted to be one of his toys instead, she wanted to be his mistress.
Unfortunately, Christian himself did not know how to treat women. He didn’t know how Ella felt.
He did not know that Ella felt uneasy because she was afraid that someone would take her place.
Christian had no idea that it was his actions that pushed Ella to where she was now.
Maybe they really liked each other, they depended on each other. But they didn’t know how to act.
Christian didn’t know how to love, while Ella only focused on her revenge.
Those words entered Ella’s ears and went straight to her heart. She could hear the sound of her heart breaking in two. Her heart was void and nothing would be able to cover it again.
.....
How long should she survive like this? Why did she still have to feel this pain?
Why didn’t her heart just die? The world would be so much better off if her heart went numb...
It seemed that a few months with Christian made Ella raise her hope again. She fell into the illusion of a good life with him.
Ella closed her eyes and opened them again. This time, she had wrapped her heart in layers of armor, making her a strong Isabella. Isabella who didn’t need anyone.
“Ahh... Then thank you for taking care of me all this time.” Ella took a deep breath. “Since you’re sure you won’t regret it, you’d better get rid of me right now. Unfortunately, I’m not a toy or doll that you can treat as you please. If I have to die, I’d better do it myself.”
A light flashed in Ella’s eyes as she released her hand from Christian’s.
“Isabella!”
Christian didn’t expect Ella to let go of his hand without a second thought. The man’s screams were so loud that the butler who was ordering the other maids to clean the house immediately ran into the front garden.
What happened?
When he saw the scene before him, the butler immediately shouted, “Hurry up and go to the warehouse and get the mat!”
He was so scared that his heart nearly exploded.
Why do people like dangerous games? Are they crazy enough to want to jump off a building?
Christian held Ella’s hand in one hand, while the other held onto the balcony railing. His face was really scary right now.
Even though Ella wasn’t looking at his face, she could guess what Christian looked like right now.
If he didn’t care, why save her?
Ella said nothing and Christian couldn’t say anything either.
To prevent Ella from letting go, Christian tugged at her tightly. The pain and heat from his wrists reminded him that this woman’s life depended on him.
By this time, several maids had already picked up a mat and placed it on the ground. The butler became relieved after seeing it. “Sir, Miss, can you jump down?”
Christian let go of his hand and saw Ella land on the mat smoothly. After that, he also jumped down. Several maids helped him to his feet and let him go.
“Master, are you alright?” the butler wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked at Christian worriedly.
He could see that his master was furious.
Ella was also wearing the same expression.
There seemed to be a conflict going on between the two of them.
However, no matter how big of a problem they were, they shouldn’t have jumped from the second floor to settle it!
However, the butler didn’t dare say it in front of Christian. He just followed Christian and hoped that Christian wouldn’t be mad at Ella.
Otherwise, the relationship between the two of them would be strained further.
However, his hopes did not seem to come true. Christian sat on the living room sofa, as did Ella. He turned to the butler and said, “Tell her to stay in the east house.”
Nathan could also hear the commotion outside. He stood at the top of the stairs to the second floor, but when he heard Christian’s words, he froze.
The east house...
It’s the black house!
“Father?” Nathan looked at Christian in disbelief.
Did this old woman do something unforgivable to his father that the man treated her this way?
Christian didn’t even look at Nathan and went straight upstairs.
Ella didn’t react either. She didn’t look happy or sad.
Only Nathan looked in disbelief. He stepped and ran to Ella. “Old woman, you must not go there! The place is so dark!”
Nathan frowned. “Did you make dad angry again? Quickly apologize to him, he will surely forgive you. Or let me help you!”
“No need.”
Ella took Nathan’s hand and held it. The hand felt warm, making her heart calm.
“I’ll just stay there for a while and come back.”
“But...” Nathan still felt reluctant. If Ella lived there, how would he find her? He didn’t want to go to that black house and he didn’t want to be separated from Ella.
Ella shook her head. “It’s okay. Don’t you believe me?”
The smile on Ella’s face finally made Nathan purse his lips. He then said sadly, “If you can’t stand it, just tell me. I’ll talk to dad.”
Nathan patted his small chest. “You have to believe me too!”
“Hmm...”
Seeing this incident, the butler felt dejected. Wasn’t their relationship fine a while ago? Why did Ella suddenly make Christian angry?
The butler couldn’t think of a reason why all this was happening.
Several maids immediately packed Ella’s clothes and took her to the house on the east side. The butler wanted to ask, but to his surprise, Ella took the initiative to speak first.
“Does Christian hate it when people talk about Little Master’s birth mother?”
The butler was immediately surprised at Ella’s question. “Miss, it is a taboo topic to talk about.” The butler looked at Ella and asked, “Did you talk about this matter in front of him?”
“Yeah,” Ella nodded without trying to hide it.
Then, she thought about what the butler said.
Taboo?
How important was this woman in Christian’s heart that it became a taboo topic for everyone?
There were two possibilities. Either Christian really loved this woman or hated her!
Or maybe she didn’t want to follow Christian’s order and made him so angry that he sent her to an isolated island.
Ella had thought of so many possibilities and felt that some of the reasons didn’t make sense. Even the rumors circulating were unbelievable.
