Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress-Chapter 409 - 409 As Family

409 As Family

—At Christian’s house.

Ella had already told the maids to quickly serve the food on the table even before dinner time. She wanted when Christian came home with Liam later, the food was ready so they could enjoy it right away.

After that, Ella waited for their return.

Nathan was already sitting at the dining table swinging his legs. His saliva was almost dripping when he saw the fried chicken in front of him.

Suddenly, he remembered something and raised his head to look at Ella. “Old woman, aren’t you afraid my father will be jealous?”

Ella turned and looked doubtful for a moment.

Even this fat kid knew Christian would be jealous. It seemed her luck would be bad after this dinner ended.

Ella thought for a moment and her gaze fell on Nathan pitifully, “If your father is angry, can you help me?”

“Dad’s not mad at me,” Nathan blinked innocently.

.....

Before Ella came, he had never seen his father angry. That’s why Nathan admired Ella. Only Ella can make his father show emotions like an ordinary human.

Ella could only be silent, looking at the food on the table. Finally she decides to go to the kitchen and ask the chef to prepare Christian’s favorite side dish.

At least, this can lighten the punishment even if only a little, right?

Not long after, the sound of a car engine could be heard from inside the house. Ella peeks at the door, finding Christian and Liam appearing at the door together.

Christian’s black suit made him look more serious today, unlike his relaxed face when he left for work. Now, his face was stiff and his thin lips were tightly pressed together.

With one glance, Ella could tell that Christian was angry.

She couldn’t do anything more.

It’s just dinner. Would Christian be at a huge loss just for inviting Liam to dinner just once that he put on a sour face like now?

While complaining in her heart, Ella already walked and approached Christian first. “Why do you look annoyed? Are you too tired from work?”

Ella held Christian’s hand gently. ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m

The warmth that Christian felt from the woman’s tiny hands made his heart melt.

He lowered his head and looked at the woman who was looking at him innocently and trying to please him. Although his heart melted a little, Christian still said, “I’m in a bad mood.”

Hearing Christian say it out loud, Ella didn’t know how to answer. Is Christian mad at her because she invited Liam to dinner together at home?

At first, Ella wanted to kindly ask Christian’s permission. But his blatant refusal made Ella immediately contact Liam. Ella knew Liam wouldn’t turn her down.

And it’s true. Liam couldn’t do anything. He couldn’t refuse Ella’s request.

But Ella’s action made Christian feel this way.

The sight in front of Liam was very warm. As he looked forwards, there was no feeling of envy, jealousy or anger in Liam’s heart. The only thing he felt was relief.

The woman he loved was about to become someone else’s wife, but all Liam felt was relief.

He’s not the selfish type. He would never force Ella to reciprocate his love. He knew Ella didn’t love him and he didn’t want Ella’s life to be unhappy.

Now, seeing Ella’s happy is Liam’s greatest happiness.

Christian waited a long time, but got no answer from Ella. He wanted her to persuade him again. But why didn’t Ella care?

That made him even more annoyed.

Feeling Christian’s stare getting colder and colder, Ella hurriedly said, “Why are you in a bad mood?”

“Because there’s a woman that pisses me off,” Christian said, holding Ella’s chin. “Ella, is it because I was too good to you that you’re doing it your way now, hanging up on me one-sidedly?”

Ella’s eyes darted from Christian’s face, completely unwilling to answer the man’s question.

Liam then tried to help Ella. “Christian, maybe there’s something important Ella has to tell me.”

“Right!” Ella immediately responded. “I have something important to talk to Liam about.”

Ella raised her hand to gently remove Christian’s hand from her chin. After that, she walked towards Liam.

“Liam, I already called Brother Luca. The designer problem will be sorted out soon enough.” After saying that, Ella led Liam into the dining room and left the still annoyed Christian.

Christian looked at their backs and felt angry.

How annoying!

Christian is still waiting at his place, hoping that Ella will come back and coax him to dine together. But Nathan came to him instead and said, “Father, don’t wait for the old woman. She won’t come back.”

After saying that, Nathan gave his father a pitiful look. Christian was really annoyed, especially when he got that pitying look from his son.

His son and his fianceé both didn’t care about his feelings!

As his head was fuming with rage, Christian walked towards the dining room.

At the dining table, various types of food were served very neatly.

Ella sat to Liam’s right. The two of them were talking about the past, looking very happy. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

Christian who was sitting at the end of the dining table, could only look at Ella while she smiled. That smile made the anger in his heart suddenly disappear.

Ella had this very strange effect on him. She has a magical power that can make his feelings constantly change.

“By the way, how are uncle and aunt?” Ella thought back to the press conference that was on the news today and asked in a concerned tone.

Liam’s parents weren’t the kind of people who wanted to get the spotlight on the media. Although they have a lot of business, they rarely attend parties that could attract attention.

So, today’s press conference must have been carried out with compulsion.

Liam understood what Ella wanted to say. He smiled and told Ella he had nothing to worry about. “My parents are fine. Even though they were confused yesterday, now they can breathe a sigh of relief because we’re working with Christian’s company,” Liam said honestly.

Ella looked a little relieved by that and she nodded. “In that case, good.”

“Ella,” Liam looked at Ella gratefully. “If it weren’t for you, I probably wouldn’t have been able to get through things this easily. Thank you.”

“No need to thank me,” Ella immediately waved her hand.

Compared to all the good that Liam did for her, this favor from Ella was insignificant. Like Liam, his parents are also very good to Ella.

“I’ve always thought of you as my family. Your problem is also mine,” when Ella said this, Liam didn’t reply with words, but with a nod and a smile that showed how grateful he was for Ella’s help.
