Chapter 304
304 Undeniable Requirements
“Do you think you have a chance to leave again? You said we are not from the same world. That means you understand and know that you will not be able to escape from me. As long as I still want you, I will catch you and make sure that you are by my side for life.”
“That’s impossible, Christian.” Ella turned and looked at Christian’s face. “Why don’t you want to face reality? My heart is not here.” Her lips curled into a beautiful, clear smile.
She kept telling herself that she shouldn’t be attracted to Christian. This man is too dangerous. He’s not someone she could deal with.
Even though her feelings for Christian were sincere, she was afraid she wouldn’t get the same from him. Christian’s feelings for her were fleeting.
“Not here?” Christian snorted. “Is it on Liam?” Thinking of the man again, Christian felt disappointed. But he remembered what Liam had told him. “Liam wants us to be together.”
Ella looked at Christian in disbelief.
She couldn’t believe Liam would say such a thing to Christian. After all, Liam was her friend. And Ella knew Liam didn’t want her to come back to Christian’s side.
Liam always reminded her how much she struggled to leave Christian’s house. Liam also previously prevented her from returning.
Ella also made it clear that she didn’t want to get back together with Christian.
.....
She liked her current life.
“You don’t believe it?” Christian was feeling happy now. Slowly, the speed of the car increased.
“Liam wouldn’t say anything like that,” Ella said confidently.
“Why would I need to lie to you?” Christian’s question made them both fall into silence.
Ella frowned and decided to look out the window. No matter what Christian said, true or false, she would not come back to him.
It didn’t take long for their car to stop in front of Christian’s house. Ella immediately got out of the car and ran upstairs to Nathan’s room.
She was really worried about Nathan’s condition now.
The butler came out of the room as soon as he heard the sound of approaching footsteps. He was really surprised but at the same time happy when he saw Ella. “Miss Ella, you’re back?”
The family doctor followed the butler and said, “Will a good day come?”
He had just had a conversation with the butler about Christian’s anger issues. His attitude towards his son had not changed at all. But to the maids... that man was really mean now.
Ella just smiled bitterly. “I came back just to see Nathan. Don’t think anything strange. Otherwise, Christian will be mad at you.”
“That...” Just as the doctor was about to speak again, Christian suddenly appeared behind Ella with a cold stare. His gaze swept across the two people in front of him, causing the butler and the doctor to step back before rushing downstairs.
Ella glanced at Christian behind her. After that, she opened the door and entered Nathan’s room.
Nathan was lying on the bed with the IV in his arm. His face was red and his brows furrowed from the discomfort he felt.
“How can Nathan suddenly have a fever?” Ella sat on the edge of the bed and held Nathan’s forehead to check his temperature. She looked very worried.
It’s still very hot.
Ella felt very depressed when she saw Nathan. Usually, the boy was always cheerful and spoiled. But now, Nathan could only lie on the bed with an uncomfortable face.
Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead because his body temperature was too hot.
It was rare for Ella to take the initiative to talk to him first. Christian sorted out his feelings and said, “Maybe Nathan didn’t put on the blanket properly last night so he had a fever.”
After Christian said that, the room was silent again.
Ella had absolutely no intention of caring about Christian. The man also felt uncomfortable. Inwardly, he wondered if Ella had found someone out there so he wanted to leave her.
But who is that man?
Definitely not Liam.
In that case, was it the man who owned the studio...?
Thinking about that man made Christian feel even more uncomfortable.
Why did Ella choose that man over him? What is he lacking?
Christian had lost his ability to think. His mind was full of images of Ella and another man together.
“Ella, why are you staying in that studio?” Christian raised his hand and grabbed Ella’s wrist. “Do you have a relationship with the owner?”
Ella rolled her eyes at the accusation. “What’s the matter with you? What if I had a relationship with another man?”
“Your business is also my business!” Christian said irrationally.
Ella looked at Christian and felt that this man was so... naive. How could Christian say such a thing?
“Christian, we no longer have any relationship. Please let me go.” Again, Ella’s smile is dazzling in Christian’s eyes.
Did she say they no longer have any relationship anymore? Christian’s heart ached when he heard this.
He couldn’t think of any reason anymore and immediately said, “You want to go, huh? If our agreement isn’t over, you’ll never be able to get away from me!”
Christian regained his composure and sat down in a chair saying, “I know what you want. If I stop helping you, you’ll never get it. You know that, right?”
Of course the answer was yes. If Christian interfered, no one would be able to stop him.
“What do you really want from me?” Ella couldn’t help but ask. She didn’t care at all.
Christian already had a fiancée. Why was that man still interfering in her life?
Seeing Ella’s irritated face, Christian’s lips twitched. “If you are by my side, I will make everyone who has ever been cruel to you feel a life worse than death.” Christian raised his hand to stroke Ella’s hair. “How about it?”
He thought Ella hesitated as she thought about the condition he put on her. Isn’t that offer very attractive? Ella had no reason to refuse.
Wasn’t that what Ella wanted earlier?
In the past, Christian didn’t give it to Ella because he was still testing the woman. Now, Christian could give everything for Ella.
But sadly...
“I don’t want to be your mistress.” Ella closed her eyes and continued, “So no matter what you offer, I won’t accept it. And please remember that you already have a fiancée. After Nathan recovered, I would leave and we would never see each other again. Now, just do your job and I’ll do mine too.”
“Isabella!” Christian immediately shouted loudly. “You really are naive!”
