258 Hiding in One Place
“Go all the way and check the CCTV. No matter what happens, we have to find her.”
“Understood, sir,” Christian’s bodyguard replied. They immediately contacted their personnel to spread out in all directions.
They know very well the nature of their master. Now is not the time to play games.
...
After leaving the small hotel near the mental hospital, Ella went to her mother’s grave.
In the past, she was deceived by Merry and Indri. She thought they were her new family. She had made many mistakes.
If she wasn’t stupid, maybe the house left by her mother would still be in her hands. It was the only gift from her mother.
The cemetery was very quiet. Maybe because the weather was so hot that no one came to visit.
After searching for a while, Ella finally found her mother’s grave, a place she had forgotten about.
.....
Due to the influence of Merry and the others, she rarely came to visit her mother’s grave and pray for her. Thinking about it now, Ella felt like a rebellious child.
There is a photo of her mother on the tombstone. Ella raised her hand, unconsciously shaking her hand. She stroked the tombstone gently and said, “Mother, your daughter has come to visit you.”
There was a smile on Ella’s face, along with tears running down her cheeks.
Her mouth seemed to swallow the bitter taste. There was a pain she hadn’t noticed before, making her feel completely vulnerable and alone.
Apart from her, no one had ever understood how hard her life was. In order to take revenge and take back all that was hers, Ella had sacrificed everything.
“Mother, are you blaming me?” Ella asked in a soft voice. “I know you won’t blame me. I remember that you are the most gentle woman I’ve ever met. Never have I seen a woman as gentle as you, mom.”
Ella raised her hand to hug the tombstone, as if it were her real mother. She felt like hugging her mother.
Ella didn’t spend a lot of time with her mother, so there wasn’t much of an impression left in her memory. The only thing Ella remembered about her mother was her beautiful face, her sweet and gentle voice every time she hummed.
That’s all...
Ella talked in front of her mother’s grave for quite a while. She told the story of her life, from when she was a child to an adult. She sounded like a spoiled child sulking at her mother.
Unfortunately, her mother couldn’t say anything back under that tombstone now.
Ella was at her mother’s grave for three whole hours.
Ella was sure Christian would never have thought she was here. The man never thought about her, he didn’t care about Ella’s problem.
Supposedly, the time they promised had already passed by now.
Ella got up and walked out of the graveyard.
...
At this moment, Christian was really restless to death.
He couldn’t find Ella.
In this city, it was not difficult for him to find the person he was looking for. But he didn’t know why finding Ella was so difficult.
Ella purposely hid in one place, a place Christian couldn’t possibly find.
In the end, Christian could only return to his house full of disappointment.
Currently, Nathan was in his bed, playing with his transformer robots. But they didn’t catch his attention and his tiny lips were pouting.
When he saw his son, Christian finally felt a little calmer. He sat beside Nathan and asked, “Are you sad?”
“Hmm...” Nathan nodded. “I miss the old woman.”
Nathan did not hide his affection for Ella. Unlike Christian, who struggled to express his feelings.
Thinking about Ella, Nathan became even more sad. If his father wasn’t so stubborn, how could Ella go?
Nathan moved closer to Christian and then he said in a low voice, “Dad, why can’t you make up with her? You know she is my future bride. You two make it hard for me to be in your midst.”
Christian looked at him and said, “Why are you so confident, thinking that Ella likes you?”
“She confessed her feelings to me,” Nathan raised his head proudly. “Has she ever confessed her feelings to you?”
“Hmm...” Of course, Ella repeatedly expressed her love for Christian. But it is very difficult for Christian to know whether it was sincere or just a lie.
Nathan looked at his father in disbelief. He felt like being hit by a truck so hard that he lay back down and said, “Dad, you must be lying to me.”
“Why would I lie to you?” Christian raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Nathan ignored him and fell back into wondering. He just wanted the old woman back home.
He fiddled with the bracelet on his wrist, then pursed his lips. This bracelet is Ella’s bracelet since childhood. Ella decided to give her beloved bracelet to Nathan instead of selling it.
Christian looked at the bracelet and asked, “Did you buy it?”
“She gave it to me. She said this was her favorite bracelet when she was little.”
Nathan raised his hand so Christian could see the bracelet more clearly.
Christian twisted the bracelet and saw the engraving on the back.
Isabella Maheswara, followed by some numbers.
It was the woman’s birthday.
Thinking about the birthday, Christian felt disappointed again. His last birthday with Ella was a total mess. Ella was really mean, she didn’t even prepare a present for him. Christian was so disappointed that in the end he took Ella as his gift.
But sadly, Christian had lost his precious treasure now.
Nathan leaned back on his bed, thinking back on all his work with Ella. He felt that if he didn’t explain now, he would suffer more if his father found out later.
“Dad, I actually helped the old woman to leave,” Nathan whispered, lowering his head, afraid Christian would get mad at him.
After a long wait, he finally heard Christian speak. “I know.”
Christian knew. How could there be such an extraordinary coincidence?
Seeing Christian’s flat reaction, Nathan thought the man didn’t mind. Therefore, he immediately said, “Father, you’re not angry with the old woman, are you?”
“Don’t think like that,” Christian replied, stroking his son’s head.
How could Christian not be angry? It would be better if he never met Ella at all. That way, he wouldn’t feel this painful separation.
...
Ella walked quite a distance, feeling her legs getting more and more sore.
She wanted to find a job she could do. Restaurant waitress, shopkeeper, sales promotion girl, or whatever, Ella wanted to do it all.
After walking around for quite a while, she couldn’t find anyone who would accept her.
Accidentally, she saw a painting studio. The paintings on the windows caught her attention. She stood in front of the window for a long time while still looking at the painting.
