288 Spending the Night Alone at the Bar
Nathan was very satisfied with his food. Liam’s grilled meat was delicious and tender so he ate a lot of it. His belly, which was already fat from the start, became even more bloated.
He had forgotten his determination to go on a diet and showed his slim body to Ella.
His mind was only filled with food, food and food!
Whenever Nathan ate, Ella always looked at him with tender eyes. After leaving Christian’s house, the person she missed the most besides Christian was Nathan.
She missed his funny chatter along with his strange behavior. She wanted to accompany Nathan to play and watch as usual. But sadly, she couldn’t anymore now.
After eating, Ella got up and took Nathan’s hand. Meanwhile, Liam walked beside him. The three of them walked out of the restaurant, looking like an extraordinarily beautiful harmonious family.
Liam doesn’t mind if other people misunderstand their relationship. Even his mood got better because of that.
Meanwhile, Ella was feeling a little embarrassed. She felt bad for Liam, but there was no way she could correct how everyone looked their way.
In the end, she could only pretend that nothing happened.
.....
After eating a lot, they decided to take a short walk. The three of them went to a park nearby.
During their outing, Liam always took very good care of Nathan.
Nathan was a naughty little boy full of curiosity. Nobody knew if he asked out of curiosity or just because he wanted to embarrass Liam, but Liam answered all of them patiently.
Nathan even asked Liam to buy him a drink. Seeing Liam go to buy a drink, Ella said to Nathan, “Did you do that on purpose?”
Nathan felt helpless, like a child caught doing something naughty. He made excuses and said, “I... I just trained him to be more responsible.”
He folded his arms across his chest and looked away, not wanting to look at Ella.
Nathan could clearly see that Liam liked Ella. That’s why Nathan treated Liam like this. He didn’t want anyone to take Ella away from him.
“If someone did this to you, would you be angry?” Ella’s question did not get any answer from Nathan. Of course Nathan would be furious if he was treated like that.
Ella did not scold Nathan for his misbehavior. She stroked Nathan’s head gently and said, “Next time, don’t be like that. When Uncle Liam comes back, apologize to him.”
Nathan felt very reluctant. He squirmed in his chair for a long time and finally he said, “An ugly woman came and took my father from me. I don’t have a father anymore. Now, a man has come and wants to take you from me. If I don’t keep you, I’ll lose everything.”
Nathan blinked his eyes and said seriously.
That was what he feared in his heart.
He had lost his father’s attention and time. He couldn’t lose this old woman again.
Otherwise, he will have nobody. He will be sad and lonely.
Ella also felt sad when she heard Nathan’s words. It turned out that Nathan, who always looked cheerful and mischievous, had a sad feeling in his heart.
Nathan raised his fat hand and patted Ella’s back saying, “Then promise me you will never ignore me. Promise me that you will always accompany me.”
“I promise,” Ella smiled.
Nathan breathed a sigh of relief. His gaze fell on Liam who was walking towards them. Ella let go of their intertwined pinkies.
From afar, when he saw Ella and Nathan, Liam thought of Ella’s child.
Liam knew Ella really loved Nathan, maybe because Ella missed her child. She had no place to express her affection so she gave it all to Nathan.
But Liam didn’t want Ella and Nathan to get too close. After all, Nathan is Christian’s son.
He saw Christian searching for Ella frantically at the small hotel the day Ella disappeared. Liam knew very well from Christian’s reaction that the man’s feelings were far more than they appeared on the outside.
But Liam didn’t know why Christian couldn’t find out where Ella was.
While Liam was still thinking about it, Nathan was already waving his hand in front of him. Liam gave a water bottle in his hand to the fat boy.
Nathan saw sweat dripping down Liam’s forehead, probably because the weather was quite hot today. But Liam still wanted to buy them this drink. Holding the bottle tighter, Nathan said, “Uncle, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have treated you like this.”
Liam was a little surprised. But after that he shook his head and smiled, “It doesn’t matter.”
Ella stood at the side and nodded with great satisfaction.
Liam’s gaze was fixed on Ella with tenderness in it. He knew that Ella had said something to Nathan so the boy’s attitude immediately changed.
Ella felt uncomfortable with the gaze and said, “Let’s go.”
...
-At night.
Christian was seen in the VVIP room of a bar. He kept pouring glass after glass into his mouth, not caring how many drinks he had to pay.
He knew he wasn’t going to sleep tonight so he decided to go to the bar alone.
This bar was where Ella once worked.
The bar manager occasionally checked Christian’s condition and saw Christian continuing to drink desperately. He wanted to persuade Christian to stop drinking, but the man didn’t care at all.
After finishing another bottle, Christian felt dizzy. Only Ella was on his mind at the moment. He pulled the tie around his neck roughly and called for the bar manager.
The bar manager was shaking. He knew that Christian was in a bad mood today. He felt even more nervous when he was called.
“Master, is there anything I can help you with?”
“Where’s Ella?” Christian asked in a deep voice.
When he heard that name, the manager felt cold sweat run down his forehead. He didn’t know where Ella was nor why Christian was looking for her.
The circulating news said that Christian was in touch with Nadia now. The manager thought for a moment and asked, “Sir, how about I call Miss Nadia and ask her to pick you up?”
“I asked, where is Ella?” Christian slammed the wine bottle on the floor, shattering it into pieces. The shards of glass reflected the colorful light from the bar.
The manager immediately held his chest in fear. His heart was about to burst.
He immediately contacted Ella. But unfortunately, after trying to contact Ella many times, the call didn’t go through.
In the end, he had no other choice but to contact Nadia.
