Chapter 76
76 Where’s My Surprise?
“Where’s my surprise?”
“Surprise?” Ella repeated the question with a furrowed brow, but she couldn’t remember what she had promised.
Did she say she wanted to surprise him?
The expression on Christian’s face instantly darkened. “You forgot about it?”
Perfect. He had been waiting in his office for so long but apparently, Ella had forgotten her promise. Not to mention that she met members of the Maheswara Family and also Haikal here.
“What did I forget?”
Ella still couldn’t remember her promise.
As soon as Ella asked it a second time, she felt a cold wind blow against her body. Unconsciously, she curled up. When she saw Christian’s face, she gasped and said quickly, “I remember, I remember it! How could I not remember my promise.”
At that moment, she finally realized that she had a very important task. She wanted to order food for Christian!
.....
The expression on Christian’s face turned a little better. He was annoyed that these two people from the Maheswara Family had almost made Ella forget her promise to him. He raised his gaze and said casually, “Slap her harder.”
“Ahhh...!” Merry’s scream was heard and then she fainted.
Christian’s bodyguards looked at each other and then looked at Indri. The woman’s eyes widened. “Didn’t my mother say she would replace me? Just wake her up by pouring water on her!”
Indri is different from her mother.
She needs a beautiful face to maintain Haikal’s love for her. Meanwhile, her mother was old and already had her father.
Indri felt that her mother had to sacrifice for her!
Ella took a deep breath when she heard a scream behind her. She felt that this mother-daughter relationship was truly pathetic.
Nathan continued to walk forward. While recalling what the two evil women had said to Ella, he hesitated for a moment and then decided to turn around and say to her. “Old woman, come here. I’ll tell you something.”
Ella held back her laughter, but then she walked over to Nathan and crouched down in front of him. “What do you want to tell me?”
“If someone bullies you, you have to bully them back. Don’t give in!”
Nathan said this in a soft voice. He patted Ella’s shoulder with his tiny hand. “If anything happens, I will help you. If I can’t help you, I still have my father! You must remember that my father and I are invincible.”
At the end of his sentence, his eyes lit up with admiration. It was a son’s admiration for his father.
“I know...”
Ella totally agreed with Nathan’s words. Christian is undefeated.
She smiled gently, feeling the warmth in her heart. For the first time in years, she felt someone was defending her. “Thank you, Nathan. I really appreciate it.”
After that, she hugged Nathan’s tiny body. The aroma that wafted from the fat boy’s body was a combination of milk and the prawn-flavored snack he had just eaten.
The two flavors didn’t match at all, but somehow it made Ella feel at ease.
“I know right...! I’m cute!”
Nathan looked very proud. He hugged Ella back tightly, but he said quickly, “Old woman, don’t be too happy! I didn’t say I liked you.”
They both hugged in front of Christian’s car. Ella felt that this was the happiest day she had ever had.
Only after you lose something will you feel how valuable it is in your life.
She could see that Nathan was starting to make a place for her in his heart.
How many sincere people does she have in this world?
Just this one child was enough to make Ella feel happy.
“Get in the car,” Christian said coldly. He looked at Ella and Nathan hugging each other with jealous eyes. For some reason, he felt neglected.
His cold voice made them both release their arms.
After Nathan got into the car, Christian’s bodyguard immediately gave him the rest of the snacks he had bought at the supermarket.
When he saw the snack, Nathan felt very happy. He took out the snack he tried earlier and gave it to Christian.
“Dad, this is so delicious”!
Christian then glanced at Ella.
He thought Ella had gone to the supermarket to buy ingredients and cook lunch for him. He did not expect that Ella went to the supermarket to buy his son junk food. And more importantly, when he looked around, he couldn’t find his share at all.
There was only one snack of each type, so Christian knew that Nathan himself chose it.
Ella was very disturbed by Christian’s stares.
She took the snack in Nathan’s hand and gave it to the man. “Aren’t you going to give it a try?”
“You’re giving me this?”
Christian’s words made Ella immediately retract her hand. Secretly, her lips look pouty. Indeed, this man in front of her was a rich man who had never tried this kind of cheap snack.
“Are you secretly cursing me in your heart?”
Christian suddenly approached Ella and asked what was making Ella’s mind wander.
The question seemed to echo in Ella’s ears, making her heart beat fast. How could Christian know what was in her heart?
Ella shook her head with a smile. “No, no. I know you don’t like this.”
She gave a random excuse. But even though she’d lied, Christian didn’t want to let her go. “How do you know I don’t like this?”
“That...”
Ella felt that she was actually good at lying. But in front of Christian, she had to think twice. She had to filter her words.
“I just guessed it,” said Ella in a low voice.
Nathan’s gaze kept shifting between the two of them. He thought for a moment and felt that, if he stayed in the middle of Ella and Christian, he couldn’t eat his snacks in peace.
He had to move immediately!
Finally, he changed his seat next to Ella, close to the window.
Ella saw Nathan who had moved. Just as she was about to tell him to sit quietly, Christian already grabbed her chin and demanded her attention.
“What surprise did you plan to give me?”
Looks like Christian still hasn’t given up.
“Still on the way.” Ella pointed out the window.
Christian turns and sees nothing outside. Actually, that’s not what Ella meant. What Ella means is that she ordered Christian food and it’s still on its way.
To be honest, she hadn’t ordered one yet and was intending to order one right now.
They are on their way. When they arrive at the company, their food will also arrive at the same time!
That’s a brilliant idea, isn’t it?
Seeing that Christian was about to get angry again, Ella immediately said, “Wait a moment!”
