Chapter 270
270 Promise to Eat Ice Cream Together
Christian had nothing to do with Nadia anymore. He just needed Nadia to pretend in front of the media so that he and Nadia could create big news.
He deliberately wanted to create gossip by using Nadia, hoping that Ella would be jealous and reappear in front of him.
Now, there are no reporters, no one to keep an eye on them so Christian doesn’t have to pretend anymore.
Christian had told Nadia to get out of his car but Nadia didn’t move at all. Christian doesn’t want to waste any more time. He immediately got out, ignoring the woman in the car.
Nadia gritted her teeth and finally came out due to being left alone.
The butler immediately greeted her and stopped her from entering the house. “Miss, let me ask the driver to take you back home.”
The butler’s words made Nadia frown. “Tian didn’t say anything, why did you kick me out? Do you think you can send me away as you please?”
“Miss, as a butler who has worked for Master for many years, I can understand what Master is thinking without needing to ask.”
Nadia seemed to be swallowed up by her anger when she heard these words. But before she had time to vent, a car had come up to her. Finally, she could only get in the car angrily and leave.
.....
In the living room, Nathan was seen watching a movie that had just come out in theaters holding a basket of popcorn. He looks very relaxed.
After Ella left, he was so bored. He was tired of playing alone. He was tired of traveling alone. He can only rely on movies to relieve his boredom.
Seeing Christian coming, he immediately waved happily. “Father, come watch with me!”
Christian saw the smile on his son’s face. After feeling tired all day from having to work and dealing with that annoying woman, his mood improved a little after meeting his son.
“Have you found the old woman yet?” Nathan couldn’t help but ask.
Nathan was also annoyed with Ella. She told him she’d call him after she left. But after waiting for a long time, she still hadn’t contacted him.
Did Ella lie to him?
“Not yet.”
Christian tugged on the tie that was choking his neck. His brow furrowed from the tiredness of the day. “You miss her that much, huh?”
“Of course,” Nathan answered without thinking.
Christian didn’t understand why his son liked Ella so much that he asked, “Why do you like her?”
“Because she’s beautiful. She is different from other women,” Nathan said, looking at his father. “She said he would not marry you. So I like her. Other women approached me because they wanted to marry you, but she didn’t.”
Nathan repeatedly emphasizes that Ella does not want to marry Christian.
Christian frowns upon hearing this, feeling that this son is not adorable at all.
After that, he asked again, “If I marry her one day, what do you think?”
Hearing Christian’s question, Nathan was in complete shock, not expecting his father to think about it. Christian wanted to say something to cancel his question, but Nathan was already screaming frantically. “Why are you so mean to me? You are grown, but still want to snatch my future wife! Didn’t I tell you that she likes me!”
Nathan felt very disappointed with his father.
“I told you that Ella is too old for you,” Christian is utterly helpless as he confronts his son. Why did his son know love at such a young age?
When Christian was a child, he only thought about how to finish the homework his tutor gave him so he could go play.
Maybe times have changed.
“True love knows no age,” Nathan snorted. He looked at his father and said in an annoyed voice, “Just look how good I am to that woman. I bought her clothes, woke her up in the morning, gave her medicine when she was sick. Plus, when I found out that she was going to run away from home, I gave her my savings.”
When he said that, Nathan’s little face looked very proud.
“Even though it’s all your money, she will remember how good I was to her. If one day she comes back, she will definitely choose me because I’m good to her.” That was what Nathan had in mind.
However, this is not something good for Christian.
He frowned deeply, but what his son said made a lot of sense. Ella would only remember Nathan’s kindness because Christian had never been kind to her.
Nathan looked at his father in surprise because he was not angry with him. Just as he was about to say something, suddenly the sound of his cell phone ringing interrupted him.
He took out his phone and looked at the number. He did not recognize the number and looked at his cell phone with a strange look. But he still went upstairs to take the call.
As soon as the phone was connected, a woman’s voice was heard from the other side.
“Nathan!”
“Old woman!” Nathan almost screamed.
He had been waiting for three days and finally Ella contacted him!
Ella said guiltily, “Sorry, I forgot to buy a cell phone.”
“Old woman, you really are a fool!” Nathan laughed, happy to be able to chat with Ella like before. But after that, he felt disappointed again. “I’m so bored because you’re not here. You said you wanted to take me out for ice cream, no?”
Nathan’s voice sounded so sad that Ella felt guilty. She immediately tried to comfort him. “Alright, alright. How about this weekend?”
“Yeay! Let’s gooo!” Nathan immediately rose to his feet happily.
He and Ella chatted for a long time. For the most part, Nathan would talk about how boring his house was because Ella wasn’t there. Every day, he could only chat with the butler.
Ella listened to Nathan patiently and occasionally responded.
After a long chat, Nathan finally ended the call reluctantly. He didn’t forget to remind Ella of their promise to eat ice cream together this weekend.
After hanging up, Ella looked at her phone screen doubtfully. Should she tell Liam she’s still in the city?
But when she thought about the way Liam was looking at her, Ella couldn’t bear it. She didn’t want to keep Liam waiting because Ella knew that she wouldn’t be able to give him happiness.
Finally, Ella put down her phone and decided to sleep.
...
In the middle of the night, Liam is awake. He wasn’t sleepy at all.
He looked at the painting he bought today and thought about Ella.
How could there be such a coincidence?
His hand rose to caress the frame of the moose painting and realized that there was a small inscription affixed to the deer’s leg.
A painter is bound to leave an imprint on her paintings, Liam knew that.
When he took a closer look at the writing, his eyes immediately went wide. He immediately changed his clothes and ran to his car, not caring even though it was night.
