Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

“You are not me. You can’t decide my heart and my future,” Liam’s voice sounded a little heavy. At the same time, he could feel the disappointment in his heart.

He didn’t understand. Hasn’t Ella left Christian? Why is Ella still rejecting him vehemently like this? Why didn’t Ella give him a chance?

Ella looked at Liam with a sincere look. “I really think of you like my brother. You are my most precious family.”

Of all the friends she had, there was only one person left in her life. The only friend who is still nice to her is Liam.

Liam clenched his fists and said, “If that’s the case, I really want to be your family. I... I’m willing to be your husband...”

It was Liam’s first time expressing his feelings like this, so he said it awkwardly. Even his face looks a little red.

He had never said anything like this to another woman. All his love is only for the woman in front of him, since then until now.

“I know I’m late coming back to your side. That’s why, I want to spend the rest of my life making up for that mistake of mine.”

.....

Liam said it nervously. He is like a teenage boy who is expressing his feelings to a classmate he likes.

“No. Liam, you don’t owe me anything.” Ella smiled and continued, “You think love can be forced?”

Liam shook his head.

While resuming her work, Ella said, “My answer is the same. Love can not be forced.”

Ella can’t force Liam to love another woman. Because Liam’s heart has chosen Ella.

But Ella is the same. She couldn’t love Liam. Because her heart has chosen the wrong man. The man she could never get.

The man who didn’t love her...

Ella couldn’t force her heart to love Liam. Her heart decided to have no feelings for Liam and she couldn’t force herself to change it.

Even though Liam is helping her to take back her mother’s house, the only feeling Ella feels in her heart is gratitude, not love.

Liam’s face looked uncomfortable.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought about this possibility, the possibility that Ella didn’t love him. He had thought about it too.

But he did not expect that he would get the answer so quickly. He wasn’t ready to hear it now.

“Ella, I can wait. I can wait until your heart opens to me and I will still be here for you.” There was a determination in Liam’s eyes as he spoke. “I already told you and I will keep telling you until you believe me. I just hope you remember that I will always support you no matter what.”

“Thank you. If you’re having trouble and I can help you, I’ll definitely do it without hesitation,” Ella said sincerely. A gentle smile appeared on her face.

Liam’s heart seemed to be pierced by that smile and he immediately averted his gaze.

He thought for a moment and then decided to talk about another topic. “Do you like Nathan? If we have time, we can go together with him again next time.”

When talking about Nathan, Ella’s eyes always showed tenderness.

“Hmm... Yeah. Next time.”

Unfortunately, whenever she talked about Nathan, she would always think of Christian.

When he saw Ella’s dim face, Liam couldn’t help but ask. “Do you like him?”

He didn’t need to mention Christian’s name. The two of them also already knew who they were talking about at the moment.

Ella’s hands were shaking slightly. Then, she looked at Liam with a surprised look. “How could I possibly like him? I’m just a mistress. He is too far for me to reach. Doesn’t it all look pretty ridiculous?”

While saying that, Ella’s lips twitched as if she felt that she had insulted herself. Her smile turned sad.

Liam’s face changed. But in the end, he said nothing.

Yesterday, before separating, Ella had time to tell Nathan the address where she lived and where she worked now.

Even so, she still felt surprised when she saw the fat boy running towards her with his short legs.

“Nathan, you ran away from home again?” Ella looked at him suspiciously.

Nathan snorted. “The house is too noisy. I don’t want to stay there.”

“Hmm?” Ella tilted her head in confusion.

Noisy? Did Christian and Nadia immediately prepare for their engagement today?

Before Ella could ask, Nathan was already chattering at length.

“As soon as I woke up today, I saw my great-grandfather at the door of my father’s room. Dad was not wearing clothes and the ugly woman was crying beside him. I was too angry to say anything and could only listen to their conversation. Great-grandpa said he didn’t want to listen to dad’s excuses. My father must marry that ugly woman soon!”

Nathan imitated his grandfather when Hartono said this to Christian.

Ella wanted to laugh at the boy’s annoyance, but she couldn’t laugh at all.

She took a deep breath and reminded herself not to fantasize too much about Christian. Even though Christian had once provided warmth in her life, a warmth she hadn’t felt for the past 5 years, Ella couldn’t have hoped for more.

It is all over.

Her relationship with Christian is over.

Ella smiled and looked at Nathan. “Your father’s marriage is a good thing. You should have congratulated him. And you must believe that your father has chosen a wife who is kind to everyone, including you.”

Nathan pouted, looking not at all pleased.

He looked at Ella in annoyance, not expecting Ella to say that. But what Ella said made sense so he couldn’t help it.

He knew that his father loved him and would not let him suffer.

But still, Nathan felt that the ugly woman was not a good woman. He didn’t want that ugly woman to be his stepmother.

...

At the same time, at Christian’s house, Christian is dressed neatly. He looked at the woman beside him coldly. The woman is sitting on the sofa with her head lowered, seemingly afraid to look at him.

Nadia has also put on her clothes. But somehow, her style changed. She was no longer wearing the long skirt she used to wear before. Now, the skirt she was wearing was shorter.

It seemed that Nadia remembered Haikal’s suggestion to her, that men preferred women who dressed less.

That’s why she wanted to seduce Christian with the way she dressed.

The atmosphere in the family room was very stiff. Suddenly, a crisp laugh was heard. “You want to be my fiancée?” Christian asked.

Finally, Nadia heard what she wanted all along so she snapped out of her reverie. She immediately lifted her head and looked at Christian.

“That seems to be the case.” A smile appeared on Christian’s face, a cruel one. “If that’s what you want, I’ll grant your wish.”
