328 New Pawn
“Did she paint there to become a famous painter?” Nadia asked in surprise. That was the only possible reason for Nadia.
If it’s only a matter of money, isn’t living with Christian more than enough?
“You think she can be famous?” Indri laughed out loud. “How could it be? She doesn’t even have talent.” So far, Indri had never heard that Ella had a talent for painting. She had never seen Ella paint while at home. Ella also did not study in this field.
Nadia smiled sarcastically. But she did not dare to underestimate Ella like Indri. She knew that Ella was not a brainless woman like Indri. Whatever Ella did, there must be a purpose.
“Call a famous painter and give them some money. Have them sue Ella for plagiarism. It doesn’t matter even if Ella doesn’t have any talent, she still can learn and get better. We have to stop her right now.”
Indri’s eyes shone brightly. She really liked this idea.
“I understand. Thanks for your advice.” Indri got up and was about to leave, but Nadia stopped her and said, “This solution is your own idea. You will find the painter yourself. If something happens to you and you say my name, I won’t admit it. Do you know that?”
“I understand,” Indri nodded.
Nadia felt more relieved when she heard that. “If you break your promise, I will make you suffer the consequences.”
.....
Nadia took a sip of her coffee and set it down gracefully.
Indri was stunned for a moment, feeling threatened by Nadia’s words. She rushed to leave the house.
She didn’t notice that there was a strange glint in Nadia’s eyes.
Indri did not realize that now she had become one of Nadia’s pawns. A pawn that Nadia could use and get rid of at will.
…
Meanwhile, Ella was still in the studio, finishing her painting. She was so focused on her work that she didn’t notice that someone was coming.
As soon as she lifted her head, she saw Liam.
Liam looked like he’s not feeling well. His face looked pale and his whole body looked limp, almost powerless.
“Ella,” Liam greeted Ella while trying to look okay.
Actually, he was also invited to James’ birthday party yesterday, but he decided not to come. Why come to the party? He would see Ella with another man.
It would hurt his heart so he decided to run away.
“Liam? You come?” Ella looked at him with a smile on her face.
This woman in front of him made Liam’s heart even more complicated.
He was the one who told Christian Ella’s location, telling the man to meet her. At that time, Liam didn’t think about Ella’s feelings. He knew that Ella was a person full of doubts. Sometimes Ella was very firm in her decisions and sometimes she was very doubtful.
Liam was afraid that Ella would hate him if he made the decisions for her.
Luca got up from his seat to fix his painting canvas. He glanced at Liam and said, “If you have something to say, say it. Keeping it to yourself makes you feel uncomfortable, doesn’t it?”
He could see Liam’s hesitation.
Perhaps because he had experienced so much in this life, Luca felt that he should not live life with doubts.
Liam looked at them, as if asking for support, and then he said, “Ella, I want to know. Do you hate me now? Or are you thanking me?”
Ella put down her paintbrush and looked at Liam seriously. “Liam, haven’t I told you many times? You are my family. How could I hate you?”
Liam was very relieved. But at the same time he also felt very disappointed. The little girl he liked for a long time, finally fell in love with another man.
“Christian said that if he fell in love with me, he would marry me,” Ella said suddenly, making the two men in front of her flabbergasted.
Liam thought, at least Christian would give Ella status as his lover. But he didn’t expect that Christian would move so quickly and would even marry Ella.
But would Christian fall in love with Ella?
Liam frowned as he thought about it.
Ella looked at Liam and raised an eyebrow in question. “Liam, what did you say to Christian?”
Ella felt that a man like Christian would never think about marriage. Otherwise, he would not have remained alone with his 5 year old son.
She knew that something was driving him to do it.
Liam looked embarrassed as he replied, “I told him to give you a proper place by his side.”
Liam didn’t ask Christian to marry Ella. What he meant last time was to make her his lover, not wife!
Ella’s face immediately reddened and felt hot. It turns out that Christian is thinking about marriage. Her heart immediately beat fast.
“Ella, marrying Christian is a good choice for you,” Liam said calmly.
It didn’t matter even if Christian already had a child. By marrying Christian, Ella’s life will be better than before and Ella will not have to suffer anymore.
The Maheswara family will not dare to touch Ella again.
Ella shrugged her shoulders and said, “How can you be so sure? No one can predict what will happen in the future. After all, my relationship with him is still new.”
In marriage, there was not only happiness. Only a few lucky people could enjoy a happy married life.
There were also unhappy families. For example, her own family.
Just look at what her father did to him, how her father treated her. All of this made Ella’s heart feel cold.
Even though Ella didn’t remember her mother very well, the maids and people around her often tell about her birth mother. Indeed, her father and mother were happy and loved each other. But what happened after that?
After her mother died and left her alone, her father did not hesitate to use her for profit. Her father did not hesitate to destroy her life.
Ella wanted love. But she dared not hope for more.
Liam didn’t say anything this time. He also knew what Ella had been through so far that her opinion about love was so distorted.
Everything had happened and only time could heal her.
…
Around 2 pm, Christian was still at his company. Unfortunately, he couldn’t focus on work.
He was used to Ella being there. Ella’s absence made him unable to calm down.
Ella seemed to keep appearing in front of him even though it was just her shadow. Finally, Christian got to his feet and walked out.
Jason was holding a document when he was about to enter Christian’s room. But he saw Christian come out of his study instead.
Seeing Jason, Christian immediately said, “I have to go now.”
That one sentence made the document in Jason’s hand almost fall and scatter.
