116 Showing the Way
“Are you hiding something?” Nathan looked at Ella suspiciously.
Ella really panicked. This fat boy’s instincts are really strong!
But the next sentence that came out of Nathan’s mouth made Ella want to laugh.
“Quickly bring out the delicious food you are hiding!” Nathan turned Ella around. After confirming that Ella had nothing to hide, he looked at Ella discontentedly. “Huh? Where is it! You must have finished it!”
“Fat boy, can you not think about food all the time?” Ella caught Nathan’s body and teased him. “You just ate some snacks last night, but you’ve gained a lot of weight.”
“No, I’m not!”
Nathan looked at Ella in annoyance. “I’ve weighed myself today!”
His weight was still the same as before. He’s not fat!
Ever since Ella called him a fat boy, Nathan had always taken care of his appearance. He didn’t want to show weakness in front of this woman and let Ella continue to make fun of him.
.....
“Yes, yes...” Ella nodded nonchalantly, carrying Nathan back to the house.
Just as she arrived home, Ella was surprised for the second time today.
A group of maids and bodyguards were already standing in a row. Meanwhile, the butler was already standing at the front, facing Christian who was wearing a dark gray suit.
The cold aura from the man was felt even though Ella had not entered the house.
Ella didn’t dare to move nor go any further. She could only swallow her saliva and asked in a low voice. “Fat boy, what’s this?”
“Father was looking for you,” Nathan said. “You disappeared so early in the morning, making my dad worry. He told everyone to look for you. What a hassle.” Nathan took a deep breath. “What can you do without this young master? Were you lost earlier?”
Nathan looked at Ella with an understanding look, as if he already knew that Ella was a woman who couldn’t do anything without him.
Ella raised her eyebrows. Indeed this place was big. But she was not a child who could get lost easily!
She wanted to explain, but she felt Christian’s cold aura pressing down on her. No matter how much she wanted to defend herself, Ella felt her throat tighten.
“Christian...”
Ella lowered Nathan from her arms and stood in front of Christian with her head down.
“Where are you going?” Christian asked in a deep voice.
He was relieved when he saw that Ella was fine. But at the thought of how many men had seen her out there, anger rose in his eyes again.
Ella stepped back and said, “It’s very sunny in the morning. So I took a little walk.”
Why did everything she did seem wrong in his eyes?
“Sunny weather?” Christian snorted coldly. “As a babysitter, your first job in the morning is to take care of my son as soon as he wakes up.”
Ella nodded her head obediently. “Well. I will not forget my responsibilities.”
She knew that Christian was really angry now. Therefore she better nod her head and agree to everything he said.
“Butler!” Christian called casually. “Since Miss Ella has already admitted her guilt, her salary this month will be cut in half.”
Everything happened so fast that Ella couldn’t react. She could only stare at Christian with her mouth agape.
Cut in half? It hadn’t even been half a month since she became Nathan’s babysitter!
“Do you have a problem with it?”
Christian shoved his hands into his trouser pockets and squinted. “Do you want your entire salary cut?”
“No, no!” Ella immediately replied in a panic. She won’t be able to win against Christian. It was better for her to obey his words. “It is very difficult for me to earn money. I know you have a lot of money. Please don’t cut my salary!”
Half of her salary.... How many million rupiahs would be taken from her?
She had to be patient and keep up with Christian and Nathan’s bullshit. How could she survive without earning money?
“I’m giving you one more chance to tell me what you just did.”
Christian held Ella’s chin and looked at her intently as if he already knew what Ella was doing and was only testing her for now.
Ella realized that she underestimated Christian too much. Christian could tell even the slightest lie from her eyes.
Ella couldn’t hide anything from Christian, including her encounter with Liam. She had to find an excuse immediately!
She gritted her teeth and racked her brain. “I really just took a short walk.” After that, she got an idea and moved on. “By the way, there was someone who got lost out there earlier. I showed him the way. Don’t you believe me?”
Ella took Christian’s hand. Her hands were already sweating from nervousness, but she had to make Christian believe her.
She couldn’t let Christian know where Liam was. She didn’t want Liam to get into her troubles.
Christian looked at her and snorted coldly. “You know what will happen if you lie to me.”
Christian was already looking at the CCTV when he realized Ella was missing. He saw Ella talking to a man before they both disappeared from the camera.
Initially, the first thought that came to Christian’s mind was that he would lose Ella. This man could have taken Ella from his side and after that, Ella would never come back to him.
Christian knew that Ella had certain goals in approaching him and he still couldn’t accept that woman completely. However, Christian couldn’t tolerate the thought that another man could have Ella.
He didn’t want Ella to belong to another man.
“How could I lie to you?”
Ella held Christian’s hand gently. She looked like an obedient wife as she looked at Christian with sparkling eyes. Her body emitted a gentle aura, making it difficult for anyone to take their eyes off her.
This woman’s charm is so strong that Christian can’t fight it.
Christian lifted Ella and looked at her with a serious look. “It’s time to pay off the debt.”
He didn’t care even though there were dozens of maids in the room and immediately carried Ella upstairs in his arms.
Ella’s face immediately turned red. She clearly remembered that she still owed Christian coffee beans.
Behind them, the maids lowered their heads and tried to hide their smiles, while Nathan looked at Christian and Ella with amazement.
That morning, Ella and Christian spent their day in their room, not coming back outside.
...
After several hours passed, Ella was still lying in bed with her eyes closed. She wanted to go back to sleep and dream, but the sound of her cell phone kept bothering her.
Even though she let the phone ring until it went silent on its own, it didn’t take long for it to ring again.
Ella took the phone and picked up the phone.
But before she could speak, she heard someone screaming.
“Ella, you bitch!”
