Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

“That... It’s hard to explain.”

The butler looked at Ella again, but decided not to ask any further. After all, he was too old and he could not interfere in their affairs.

Nathan finally understood the situation and tugged at Ella’s sleeve. “Old woman, what did you say to dad that he got so angry?” He asked innocently.

Ella could only stroke the boy’s head. Every time she moved, she could feel the cold diamond on her neck.

She should be happy to receive such a beautiful gift. But sadly, this necklace felt like a bomb to her instead. She just needed to wait until the bomb suddenly exploded and destroyed her.

Unknowingly, her hand touched the necklace around her neck. She stroked the pendant and the necklace was visible from under her shirt.

Nathan watched Ella’s every move and finally realized what was wrapped around the woman’s neck. “Did dad give you this?” His eyes sparkled brightly when he saw the beautiful necklace. “That’s so beautiful! My dad does have very good eyesight.”

Ella felt helpless when she looked at the fat boy who always idolized his father. It seemed that whatever Christian did was always perfect in Nathan’s eyes.

.....

Unfortunately, this necklace was not from Christian.

Ella couldn’t help but take a deep breath. “It’s not from your father.”

After that, Ella regretted her answer. With this sentence, she had to explain everything to Nathan.

What should she say? There’s no way she bought it, right? She was poor and had no money.

If she had said that someone had given it to her, wouldn’t Nathan be disappointed?

Ella felt very dizzy when dealing with this father and son duo.

Just as she was about to change the subject, Nathan was already hugging her leg tightly. “Who gave it to you? Hey, did you find a new lover?”

Ella didn’t have time to answer. Nathan kept interrupting her. “You are my babysitter! You can’t have a lover! I don’t like women who have boyfriends!”

His disapproving expression made Ella want to laugh.

“The previous babysitters were around 35 to 40 years old. Don’t they all have husbands?”

If Ella left Nathan like this, not only Christian would have a monopoly on her in the long run, but Nathan too.

She would not be able to escape for the rest of her life!

“That’s why I kicked them all out!” Nathan folded his arms across his chest and narrowed his eyes at Ella. He couldn’t believe this old woman could find another reason. He thought Ella wouldn’t be able to refute his strong argument though!

Ella thought for a long time and couldn’t say anything back to Nathan. It was true that Nathan had kicked out all of his previous babysitters.

None of them lasted long.

“Old woman, together with this young master of yours, you will never be in trouble. What makes you dissatisfied?”

Seeing Ella about to leave, his arms that wrapped around Ella’s legs became tighter, making it difficult for Ella to move.

“My dear young master, haven’t you said this many times? How about you look for another sentence? Maybe I’ll consider your suggestion.” Ella lowered her body and released Nathan from her feet.

After that, she carried Nathan into the house.

Nathan became quiet and obedient in Ella’s arms. As long as Ella is nearby, he wouldn’t be so daring to make mischief.

He looked at Ella and asked, “This young master has already wasted his precious time just to keep you company. Shouldn’t you be moved?”

“...” Ella decided to be quiet. Isn’t her time valuable too?

Nathan was dissatisfied from not getting an answer from Ella. He wanted a nod from her.

Finally, he hugged Ella even tighter. “Old woman, why don’t you answer me?”

“Hmm?”

Ella answered Nathan nonchalantly and wanted to carry him into the living room.

But when she saw the figure sitting on the sofa, Ella immediately stopped walking. Her legs didn’t seem to dare to go any further.

When she thought back to the diamond necklace around her neck, Ella felt her head hurt.

Nathan released himself from Ella’s arms and ran towards Christian. “Father, the necklace around the old woman’s neck is very ugly. Quickly tell her to throw it away.”

Nathan was sure that what had angered his father was the necklace, just like him. Because Ella was wearing something someone else had given her, he and his father became annoyed.

This woman could irritate these two at the same time.

Ella felt that what Nathan said would not help her.

Christian glanced at Ella with cold eyes and said, “She likes it. Let her wear it.”‘

“Father?”

Nathan looked at his father in surprise. This is absolutely not his usual style!

Why was his father’s reaction different from what he expected?

He thought for a moment and then turned to Ella. “Old woman, do you like that necklace around your neck?”

Ella immediately shook her head. How dare she like this necklace?

“Look! She shook her head,” Nathan said quickly. “Dad, tell her to take it off. I don’t like seeing her wearing that necklace.”

“The necklace is already around her neck. Let’s see if she dares to take it off.”

Christian leaned back on the sofa gracefully, looking up at Ella with raised eyebrows.

He was sure that this woman did not dare to disobey his orders.

Ella took a deep breath. “I’m guilty,” she said in a low voice.

“From the start, I didn’t want to accept this necklace. Everything that happened today was also an accident. I did not expect to meet Indri and her mother. I didn’t expect anyone to defend me either.”

“Hmm...” Christian still stared at Ella intently. “Then?”

Then?

Ella was silent. So what? What else should she explain? She explained everything!

“Stupid woman!” Nathan couldn’t help but remind Ella. “Father asked you to explain the reason.”

“Reason...” Ella hurriedly racked her brain and answered, “I don’t want you to misunderstand me.”

Christian stared at Ella for a long time before he suddenly stood up. He walked over to Ella and looked at Ella’s intertwined hands, showing her nervousness.

He felt the urge to take this woman in his arms and comfort her, telling her that everything would be alright.

Everything would be fine.

He would help her to get everything she wanted.

With Christian by her side, Ella could get whatever she wanted.

But Christian kept all of that in his heart. Let him keep what’s in his heart to himself.

The corners of his lips curved slightly as he drew closer to Ella’s ear. “It seems... We’re not close enough that we keep misunderstanding each other. What if we get closer?”
