285 An Unknown Woman
“Please tell the man that the little boy needs attention and affection.”
Ella asked a woman passing by to pass on a message to Christian. She also gave several hundreds of thousands of bills to her.
It’s like getting a windfall.
“Just conveying a message?” She wasn’t stupid either. She looked at Ella suspiciously. How could anyone want to give money this much just to relay a message?
“Yes.”
Ella nodded repeatedly and then tears came from her eyes. “Actually, that child is my son. But I’m already divorced from his father. Today, I met my son secretly. Who would’ve known that his father found out about our meeting...”
While telling this, tears streamed down her face, “You know, our relationship as ex-husband and wife is not good. My ex-husband has a lot of money, so I don’t dare fight him. But I couldn’t bear to let my son be treated like that. Look at the woman he brought with him. She scolded my son in public until he cried. My son is only 5 years old.”
Ella’s appearance was really desperate that touched the woman too. She is also a woman and a mother. If it was her son who was treated like this, of course she would not accept it.
“Don’t worry. I will help you.”
.....
Of the 1 million that Ella offered, the woman only took one hundred thousand and said, “100 thousand is enough. Let’s just say you treat me to a meal here.”
Ella was deeply moved by the woman’s kindness.
She could see that she was fair and even refused to take all of her money.
But... a second later Ella regretted asking her for help.
The woman walked quickly to Nathan’s desk and looked at Christian, “Do you know why your son is like this?”
Christian was very surprised by the arrival of this unfamiliar woman, as was Nathan.
Why did this woman suddenly appear and defend him?
In his heart, Nathan was really grateful that someone had defended him. Now, he wanted to see if the haughty Nadia in front of him could still fight him.
Nadia’s face turned cold. It was clear that she was disgusted by the woman who had just appeared.
The woman was wearing old clothes. How dare she come and interfere in their problem?
Did she want to look for trouble? Obviously Christian and Nadia looked very fashionable, they were rich people. This woman was ignorant to challenge them!
However, the woman didn’t care at all even though the people in front of her were wearing expensive clothes. At this moment, there’s only the words of the woman who begged for her help in the bathroom.
She looked at Nathan whose face was filled with tears, and her heart was saddened.
Then, she said, “What this child needs is love from his family. If you want to replace his biological mother with a stepmother, do you think that woman will treat this child like her own?”
The woman snorted, “Stepmother is stepmother. How could it be compared to a biological mother who gave birth to a child from her own womb?”
Christian’s face slowly darkened.
He didn’t like this conversation. He didn’t like other people talking about Nathan’s birth mother. It was a taboo topic for him.
And now, this stranger was suddenly talking about it...
Nadia’s face grew even hotter with embarrassment. In the eyes of others, she was a stepmother who bullied her stepson. They might even misunderstand and think of her as Christian’s mistress or a homewrecker in someone else’s marriage.
But the woman in front of her was still babbling on and on. “I also have children. The way to educate children is hard but you have to be patient. How old is your son? Is it right to rebuke him harshly in front of everyone like this?”
Ella who peeked from behind the toilet door could only hold her head which was getting dizzy. How should she stop her?!
Luckily, the woman accidentally looked in her direction. Ella waved her hand, signaling the woman to stop and leave.
The woman understood the sign. She remembered what Ella had said about her ex-husband who had a lot of money.
Therefore, she decided to leave immediately.
When Nathan heard that someone was defending him in public, he sobbed and said, “There are still good people in this world.”
That’s really touching!
Nadia clenched her fists angrily. She didn’t expect an unknown woman to show up and tell Christian all that.
However, that anger only briefly flashed in Nadia’s eyes and was instantly replaced by gentleness.
Christian looked at Nathan intently, as if thinking about the truth in the unknown woman’s words.
Christian had absolutely no experience raising children, or educating them. After all, he was a father, not a mother.
“Nathan, I’m so sorry,” Nadia is a smart woman. She could see that the woman’s words had touched Christian’s heart.
Therefore, she couldn’t make Christian any angrier now. Plus, she was the one who brought up this matter and she was the one who had to end it by apologizing.
When Christian heard Nadia’s apology, the expression on his face didn’t improve.
Apart from Ella, Christian didn’t care about other women at all.
But now, he thought back to how Ella and Nathan had become close.
He remembered that Ella and Nathan were like mortal enemies the first time they met, just like a dog and a cat. At that time, Ella also felt that Nathan’s character was a little bad. That’s why Ella spanked Nathan’s ass once. But Ella didn’t punish him in front of other people so that Nathan did feel deterred, but did not feel humiliated.
After that day, Nathan’s attitude got better.
While thinking about it, Christian’s gaze fell on Nathan.
At first, Nathan still wanted to eat. He had just tasted a little food, not satisfied. But when he noticed his father’s gaze, he ended up just drinking and not daring to look at the food again.
He felt very anxious.
He was afraid that Christian would find out where Ella was hiding. If that happened, Ella would definitely leave and they would never be able to see each other again.
“Why do you keep looking at me? Is there anything else you want to say?” He said as he pursed his lips nervously.
Christian’s gaze remained on Nathan as he asked, “How did Ella teach you before?”
