Chapter 307
307 Master’s Heart Is With You
Christian thought he could get Ella’s attention by slamming the spoon on the table. He waited patiently for Ella to talk to him.
Who knew that Ella didn’t even blink an eye. She was still eating quietly.
She didn’t care about Christian nagging like an old man. If Christian didn’t like the food, he didn’t need to eat.
Christian was disappointed for not getting an answer from Ella and cleared his throat, “Don’t eat. Today’s food is too salty.”
“So what? The cake is bitter in your mouth?” Ella was still eating her food happily.
She knew that Christian did it on purpose. In the past, Ella also knew his intention but unfortunately, she didn’t dare to fight Christian. Now she wasn’t afraid of anything anymore. She shouldn’t be afraid to say whatever she had in mind.
Christian gripped his cutlery tightly. He could guess what Ella was thinking right now. But what can he do?
He could only remain silent. He didn’t want Ella to leave his side again.
He struggled to get Ella back to his side. He wouldn’t let Ella go again.
.....
“Are you challenging me?” Christian pursed his lips uncomfortably.
Ella shook her head. “No, I’m just telling the truth.” She lifted her head suddenly and looked at Christian. “You don’t care what I say, do you?”
That smile on Ella’s face made Christian feel full before he even swallowed his food. The anger that had soared in his chest suddenly disappeared.
He did not know what made this woman so easy to make his mood swayed. He was happy when he saw her. When Ella wasn’t around, Christian felt like he’s missing something.
While Christian was still thinking, Ella had put down her spoon and fork. “I’m done eating.”
Ella rose to her feet half saying it. But Christian grabbed her wrist before Ella could take a step. He pulled her hand so Ella fell into Christian’s lap.
“Come with me,” as he said, Christian hugged Ella in his arms.
Ella squirmed uncomfortably, but that only made Christian’s breathing even more irregular.
He missed Ella so much. He knew that whatever this woman did could make him feel a tremendous sense of longing. He wanted Ella.
And Ella could trigger that longing very easily.
“Don’t move,” a hoarse voice rang in Ella’s ears, making the woman’s body stiffen. Ella’s face immediately turned red when she realized that Christian’s body temperature was warmer than usual.
“Christian, you...”
Why was Christian thinking about perverted things again!
Knowing what Ella was about to say, Christian immediately replied in annoyance, “If you weren’t the one teasing me, how could I be like this?”
“When did I tease you? It’s all because of your dirty mind!” Although Ella said so, now she was no longer moving in Christian’s lap. She didn’t even dare to support all her weight on Christian’s body.
“I just want to eat in peace,” Christian said irritably.
Now, Ella had awakened the sleeping tiger inside him. How could he still have an appetite?
If possible, he really wanted to ‘devour’ Ella in this place, right now.
Christian bit Ella’s ear, a gesture so ambiguous and seductive. It made an electric shock sting all over Ella’s body. A feeling she had never known before, spread throughout her body.
“Christian, stop looking for trouble!”
Ella tried not to lose her mind. She immediately stood up from the man’s lap. Without waiting for him to speak, she immediately ran out of the dining room.
The butler watched Ella leave the dining room with a blush on her face. He was an old man who had a lot of life experience. Of course he knew what was going on between Ella and Christian. They were both just too proud to admit that they loved each other.
The butler was feeling anxious. Ella just returned to this house. He felt it was best for Christian to hold himself back.
But he couldn’t possibly advise his master directly, could he?
In that case, there was only one way he could help his master.
He stepped forward to stop Ella and bowed his body respectfully, “Miss, can we talk for a moment?”
“I?” Ella was surprised when she saw the butler’s serious face. She brushed her hair to cover her embarrassment at this moment and said, “If there’s something, just tell me. There’s no need to be so polite.”
“Miss, Master is actually looking forward to your return soon,” the butler said sincerely. “He requested that the master bedroom be unchanged, just as it was when you left. He also requested that we not tidy up the things you left while cleaning the room. If you don’t believe me, you can see it by yourself.”
Ella looked surprised at the butler’s words.
How could Christian do that?
“Please come with me.” The butler stretched out his hand and motioned for Ella to follow him.
Ella was about to refuse. But seeing the look on the butler’s face, she finally said nothing.
After opening the main bedroom’s door, the extraordinarily large room was still the same as before. It didn’t change in the slightest.
Ella’s eyes fell on the dressing table in the room. The phone she had last put there was still in its original place, as if no one had ever moved it.
The butler said at a very opportune moment, “Miss, have a look. Has anything changed from the place? Master always told the servants to be careful.”
He continued to talk beside Ella, seeing her surprised expression, then tensed and regained his composure. After that, he took a deep breath and said, “After you left the house, Master was in a very bad mood. He rarely spoke or smiled.”
At the end of his words, he pleaded very sincerely, “I beg you not to leave again.”
Ella lowered her head and smiled a faint smile. “What do you mean? Christian already has a fiancé.”
An awkwardness flashed in the butler’s eyes. He also saw what happened this morning with his own eyes. But Christian said that nothing had happened.
As Christian’s servant for many years, the butler chose to trust him.
“Miss, Master’s heart is with you,” he said.
“I know that you are a smart person. I also know that you are a very reasonable person. Try listening to your own words just now. Does that make sense?” Ella asked, leaving the butler speechless.
