93 Dating Another Man
“Good morning, Haikal.”
Hearing Ella’s gentle voice, Haikal felt his heart at ease. He had his cell phone in his hand as he walked to his large work chair. His eyes narrowed slightly, showing a devious intent.
“Regarding what happened yesterday... should we meet for a chat?”
Subconsciously, Ella clenched her fists. But she remembered Christian’s words last night. The man didn’t want her to hurt her hand again so she let go of her grip. “You look very confident that you can get the house from my sister,” she said with a smile.
“Don’t you believe me?” Haikal looked relaxed. “Indri loves me very much. You know that too. As long as I want it, as long as I ask for it, she will give it all to me. After all, I am Haikal Adisurya.”
Ella agreed with what Haikal said because her former self was also like Indri. She was too blinded by love and willing to give anything to Haikal so as not to lose him.
After thinking for a moment, she said, “Where?”
“You are still as firm as before,” said Haikal. “How about the café where we usually go? I can’t wait to see you again.”
Disgust rose from Ella’s heart, but she still tried to calm down.
.....
“Hmm... Fine then. See you later.”
After hanging up the phone, Ella leaned against the window looking at the scene before her. She thought for a long time then went upstairs to change her clothes.
“Old woman, where are you going?”
However, Ella did not listen to the question. Right now there was only one thing on her mind- her mother’s house.
She would not let the people who made her suffer to live in her mother’s house. They didn’t have the rights for that.
“Old woman!” Nathan called again, but the only answer he got was the sound of the door closing.
His brow furrowed in annoyance. The butler beside him could only wipe his sweaty forehead, trying to find a way to explain to the boy.
But before he could speak, his young master took out his cell phone and called his father.
“Father! That old lady went on a date with someone else!” He said, his face filled with anger.
As a babysitter, shouldn’t Ella take care of him? Why did she even go out by herself?
On the other side, Christian’s face immediately looked grim. He didn’t say anything for quite a while. Nathan’s little heart could not endure the long silence and he asked again, “Father, are you listening to me?”
“Who will she meet?”
Christian’s voice sounded very cold and scary.
Nathan felt goosebumps on his body as he stuttered to answer, “The person from yesterday... Haikal...”
As soon as Christian heard that name, he immediately hung up his phone without a word.
Nathan looked at his disconnected cell phone with a sad look. After that, he turned his head towards his butler. “Don’t anyone love me anymore?”
His expression looked a little hurt.
Why did he feel his father was angry with him?
However, Nathan realized that the anger was not directed at him, but at his babysitter who just walked away. “This is all her fault. Father must be very angry with the old woman.”
Nathan nodded confidently and his eyes returned to the television in front of him.
However, he didn’t want to watch it anymore.
At the thought that the old woman would meet another man, he felt uneasy. He felt like his toy had been stolen by someone else.
...
The café where Ella and Haikal met was not located in the city center. It’s on a fairly quiet street, but the view was very beautiful.
The trees lined the roadside, slightly blocking the sunlight that entered the cafe, making the atmosphere feel cool.
Sometimes the wind would blow hard, making the leaves fall.
Ella was seen standing in her purple dress looking pensive.
She hated this place.
This place was in her memories that she didn’t want to remember anymore. Even the good memories became bad memories for her now.
Ella took a deep breath and walked into the cafe.
The café was still the same as before, as if the past five years had not changed its appearance in the slightest, not leaving any traces behind.
The decor was European-retro style, making anyone who walked inside feel like they’re back in the 17th century.
The crisp sound of the bell snapped Ella out of her memories.
She lifted her head and saw Haikal sitting by the window in his gray suit, smiling at her. Just like old times.
Unfortunately, Ella had changed.
“Haikal...”
Ella greeted him coldly and sat across from him.
“You don’t have to be so awkward with me.” Haikal looked calm. Every move he made now was very organized, as if to show that he was different from five years ago.
Within five years, Haikal had also changed a lot.
He was no longer the cheerful boy who didn’t know how to be serious. Now he was a company leader.
He raised his hand and called the waiter. “Two cappuccinos.”
“No,” Ella stopped the maid. “Black coffee for me.”
Haikal raised his eyebrows and then nodded. “That’s all.”
The servant nodded and followed Haikal’s words. The man was very satisfied with the servant’s attitude which made him feel superior.
His move showed that he was from the upper class. Who dared to oppose him?
Ella’s gaze was still fixed on the scenery outside of the window.
After five years, Ella realized that time was something very magical.
Sadness filled her heart, but she had learned how to hide her feelings.
After a while, she looked at Haikal and said, “I want my mother’s house back. What can you offer?”
Haikal looked at the woman in front of him casually. “Why the rush? We haven’t reminisced about our past.”
“Reminiscing about our past?” Ella’s lips curved into a smile. “Okay. How about we talk about how you killed my son.”
Ella’s eyes suddenly looked cruel.
Becoming a mother made her realize that although she did not know who the father of her child was, it did not prevent her from loving the child.
Even though she hated the man, her son was innocent. And Ella loved her child with all her soul.
Haikal’s face immediately changed. “That’s a long time ago. Don’t talk about it.”
He also did not know anything about the child. He knew that after Ella gave birth, the child...
He immediately stopped his thoughts.
Why talk about the bad past?
Now Ella was in front of him and he couldn’t wait to get this woman back.
He lifted his hand and grabbed Ella’s hand that was on the table.
Their hands touched each other. “It’s easy to get your mother’s house back, you know.”
