Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

325 Is Being Stingy Hereditary?

“Christian ...” The words had already reached Ella’s lips. She was about to say it but she hastily stopped herself.

She loved Christian.

Unfortunately, the weight of the words was too heavy. It couldn’t be said easily.

Hearing Ella call his name, Christian’s body tensed up. He thought he would get the answer he wanted from Ella’s lips. But unlike what he had imagined, the woman in front of him suddenly stopped talking.

It was undeniable that there was a hint of disappointment in his heart. However, Christian tried to ignore the feeling. He knew that it was difficult for Ella to do so because of what had happened to her in the past.

The betrayal she felt was so great that her heart was now surrounded by a very thick wall.

But Christian was sure that sooner or later, Ella would surely show her feelings.

Breakfast was served neatly on the table. They ate leisurely, ignoring Hartono who was in the family room, waiting for them.

Since childhood, Nathan had always been afraid of Hartono. When he knew that his great-grandfather would come to the house, he did not want to come out of his room. He didn’t want to eat breakfast downstairs, not even with Christian and Ella.

.....

As long as Hartono was in this house, he didn’t want to step foot out of his room.

Currently, Hartono who was sitting in the family room could only stare at the dining table with a fierce look. He didn’t expect Christian to be this serious with Ella.

In his opinion, his grandson was being blinded by love so he didn’t know what was best for him.

Only Hartono knew what was best for Christian.

Hartono’s cell phone suddenly rang and he took it out in annoyance. However, when he saw who was calling him, his face rejoiced.

“Nadia, why did you call grandpa today?” Nadia was the future granddaughter-in-law that he wanted.

The Soetanto family had a sizable business overseas and was growing. If Nadia and Christian married, the status and wealth of the Adipamungkas Family would increase.

Fame, wealth and honor… There were not enough words for these three things.

Hartono was also the same. He devoted his life to raising the Adipamungkas Family and ensuring that their family would continue to prosper.

Nadia’s voice from the other side sounded soft. “Grandfather, why do you ask that? Can’t I call if there’s nothing?” After that, Nadia chuckled. “Tian is busy with work and doesn’t have time to accompany you. But I’m not busy. I can replace him.”

“You are indeed a good girl,” Hartono took a deep breath.

After reading the news circulating today, Hartono knew that his grandson had told everyone that the news about his engagement to Nadia was just a hoax. This made Hartono restless since morning.

He wanted Christian to be engaged to Nadia.

Hartono didn’t really listen to what Nadia said on the other side because he was thinking about what happened last night. “Nadia, Christian was only interested in that woman for a moment so he said such a thing yesterday. I apologize to you on his behalf.”

Hartono took another deep breath and said, “Don’t worry. I am here to help you. I won’t let that woman step foot into the Adipamungkas Family. The only granddaughter-in-law that I will accept is you.”

Nadia’s eyes flashed the light of success.

The older a person got, the worse his memory would get. Therefore, Nadia had to keep reminding Hartono about this.

But unfortunately, Hartono’s guarantee alone was not enough. She needed real evidence.

“Grandfather, does Tian like her that much?”

“Yes, I am also helpless in this.” Hartono felt that Nadia was a very understanding child. Even at times like this, she could understand the predicament he was feeling.

When would Christian come to his senses and see what he saw?

“Then, how about having a one-on-one talk with that woman?” Nadia said it as if she had the idea by accident, even though she had actually thought about it for a long time.

Nadia’s words made Hartono seem to have realized something. With Christian, he couldn’t do anything to Ella.

As long as Christian and Ella could be separated, didn’t he have a chance to teach the woman a lesson?

“Nadia! You gave me a great idea.” After knowing what he had to do, Hartono immediately felt relieved.

Nadia’s idea would solve this big problem very easily.

“Is that true?” Nadia asked with a smile. “I think that woman will definitely pretend in front of Tian to please him. Even if she wants something, she won’t say it in front of Tian.”

“You’re right!” What Nadia said made a lot of sense to Hartono’s ears. He also thought the same thing as her.

“Don’t worry. I will talk to him later.” After saying that, Hartono ended the call.

In the dining room, Ella ate her bread in a happy mood. Seeing Ella who only ate bread, Christian got porridge and various side dishes for Ella. “Eat a lot. You’re too skinny,” he said as he handed food to Ella.

Every time he ate something, he wouldn’t forget to get it for Ella. The attention that Christian gave made Ella touched.

She didn’t think that this man cared so much for her.

However, Ella felt she was not that thin. She didn’t lose weight either.

When she was about to ask Christian if she was too thin, Christian spoke first. “When you sit on my lap, I can only feel your bones.”

Ella could only glare at the man in front of her with a sharp gaze and then continued eating her bread without paying any heed to the man.

After finishing the bread, she also ate a bowl of porridge. “How much money do you think your grandfather would give me to leave you?”

Ella thought for a moment and then guessed. “Judging from your value, he should at least give me 100 billion, right?”

Christian’s face immediately looked grim. “You want to leave me?”

Ella nodded her head firmly. “By staying with you, I can’t get money anyway. I’d better accept that money from your grandfather so that my life will be comfortable forever. I will become a rich woman and make everyone jealous of me. I can travel around the world every day. My life will definitely be very happy.”

Ella said it while imagining it so that her tiny face showed an overwhelming sense of longing.

Christian snorted coldly, destroying Ella’s imagination without hesitation. “My grandfather really loved money. He won’t give you 100 billion. Not even 10 billion.”

“What?” Ella looked at Christian in disbelief. “Is being stingy hereditary in your family?”
