Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

235 Father’s Birthday

Seeing Nadia’s back that was getting further away, something crossed Ella’s mind.

Ella knew Nadia would definitely tell Christian about her meeting with Liam and Haikal today.

They both knew Christian very well. Christian wouldn’t let anything he owned be touched by anyone else. Ella’s relationship with Liam could break her agreement with Christian.

Ella was feeling a little anxious about this matter. She felt she had better go home.

“Ella, let me take you home,” Liam could see Ella’s nervousness and offered to take her home immediately.

Liam didn’t wait for Ella’s answer and immediately pulled her towards the car. He opened the door and motioned for her to sit down.

All the way home, Ella looked very nervous. She was not only worried about her fate, but also worried that Liam would be involved.

Liam opened a conversation between them. “Ella, why didn’t you say anything? You don’t need to feel pressured. Haikal married Indri just to seize the Maheswara Family. I’m just helping him and profiting from him at the same time,” Liam said, trying to reassure Ella.

“If you get the house back, I’ll pay for it,” Ella replied with determination in her eyes. “I lived in a mental hospital for five years and my life was on the verge of ruin. But those times made me realize a lot of facts that happened. I don’t want to be in debt to anyone anymore, not even you. I don’t want to burden you. I want to live my own way in the future.”

.....

Ella cupped her hands together, squeezing them with anticipation as well as tension.

Liam knew what made Ella the way she was and Liam didn’t blame her for trying to protect herself. This woman’s heart was really hurt because of the people she trusted. It just takes time to heal all wounds.

However, a bitter smile remained on Liam’s face.

“Okay,” Liam replied softly. “I will stay by your side, forever.”

Liam had been gone too long, leaving Ella alone. He didn’t want to leave Ella again. He wanted to give Ella the happiness she deserved in this life.

Ella looked at Liam and laughed. “Liam, I don’t love you.”

The car suddenly squeaked because the brakes were stepped on too deep. After stabilizing her body, Ella looked at Liam with a flat gaze. “I know you won’t be able to accept it, but I don’t love you.”

“I don’t care,” Liam said. He stepped on the gas again and headed towards Christian’s house.

When she got home, Ella finally felt very relieved. Nathan immediately rushed over to her.

“When will dad be home?” Nathan asked with sparkling eyes.

Ella stroked Nathan’s hair and asked, “Why are you looking forward to your father’s return today?”

“Today is dad’s birthday.”

Nathan pulled Ella into his room and showed her a very complicated-looking cube toy from one of his cupboards.

“This is a gift that I will give to him. Do you think he will like it?” Nathan held the toy like he was caring for a tiny baby. “This is my favorite toy. I’m sure dad will be happy.”

Ella nodded. “Your father will be very pleased.”

Nathan stroked his toy like he was saying goodbye because soon, the toy would fall into the hands of his new master. After that, he turned and looked at Ella. “Old woman, what gift did you prepare for him?”

Ella blinked repeatedly, struggling to answer the question.

However, Nathan felt smart and could immediately tell what was on Ella’s mind. “You didn’t prepare a gift for him?”

Nathan put down the cube and invited Ella to walk around his room. “Choose any item from my room.”

Ella looked around her and her eyes fell on all the toys that were scattered there. If Ella took one of Nathan’s toys and gave it to Christian, Christian would kill her right away.

“Thank you, fat boy. But I’d better buy something right now.”

Ella had to prepare a present for Christian. The man was the one who would help her to get revenge, but Ella didn’t know his birthday. This was truly a disaster!

“Looks like it’s too late...”

Nathan tilted his head and looked at the clock. Not long after he said that, the butler’s voice was heard from outside.

“Master, you are home.”

“Why did your father come home so early?” Ella didn’t even have time to prepare gifts!

“Every birthday, dad will come home early,” Nathan took Ella’s hand and led her around. “Quick, choose one. Otherwise, father will be angry with you again!”

Seeing Ella who didn’t move, Nathan immediately let go of her hold and turned towards a small cupboard. As soon as he unpacked it, he found a beautiful box. The box seemed pretty good, so he was sure the contents were good too.

Nathan nodded in satisfaction and gave it to Ella.

“Old woman, here. Take this.”

The box is dark blue with a large red ribbon on the outside. Ella didn’t know what was inside, but the box looked expensive.

Ella is sure that at least this box will trick Christian, so she accepts it.

Christian had been sitting in the living room for a while before Ella and Nathan came downstairs.

The butler had already ordered the other servants to prepare the food.

“Dad, this is a gift from me.” Nathan runs into Christian’s arms and gives his cube toy to his father. “Do you like it?”

Christian frowned when he saw the cube in his hand. After that, he said casually, “No, I don’t like it.”

Nathan was very disappointed and immediately got off his father’s lap. Meanwhile, Christian looked at the cube in his hand with a gloomy face.

Every year, Nathan always gave him the same gift. All the gifts he got from Nathan were cube toys, only with different shapes.

Ella looks at the box in her hands and wonders if Christian will like it.

Ella didn’t know what was in the box, but she hoped it was something good. From the outside, this should be an expensive item.

Christian looks at Ella’s face as he recalls what happened this afternoon. He thought Ella loved him and wanted to be with him forever, but it turned out that he was the only one who thought this way.

It seemed that he was expecting too much.

“You’d better prepare something that makes me happy,” Christian said in a cold voice. Not only was his voice cold, his gaze was also cold as he fixed it on Ella.

He didn’t intend to forgive Ella so easily today.
