347 This Is Better
“You don’t want to thank me?” Christian asked, wrapping his arms around Ella’s waist and resting his head on her shoulder.
Silently, he inhaled Ella’s signature scent. A nice scent, mixed with the smell of the same soap he used. For some reason, knowing that Ella had a slight scent in common with him fostered an inexplicable feeling in his heart. It was as if a part of his heart was screaming that this woman belonged to him.
“Hmm…” Ella leaned back against Christian’s head. After that, she opened the news and asked the man. “What do you think about this news?”
The news that Ella showed from her phone’s screen was about Haikal.
News about how Haikal can’t compare to Christian. The person also suspected that Haikal was involved in this matter because he wanted to snatch Christian’s lover. He even insulted how bad Haikal’s taste for women was, so he chose Indri and left Ella.
The article really slammed Haikal as if he was the worst man in the world.
When she first saw it, Ella was absolutely sure that the person who wrote this article had a deep hatred for Haikal.
If Haikal saw this kind of criticism, he would definitely feel very angry.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Ella became even more convinced that it was Christian who did this.
.....
In Ella’s opinion, Christian was a man who quietly drifted off. Even though he didn’t appear to be doing anything, it seemed that he had put in his efforts secretly.
How could he pass up an opportunity like this?
Ella thought Christian would never do something like this before because it was such a trivial thing.
But now everything has changed. Christian’s feelings and attitudes towards her have also changed a lot though he is still sometimes unreasonable and likes to be jealous of everyone. However, Christian is not as cold as he used to be. If Ella is close to another man and Christian is jealous, Ella can easily calm him down.
Ever since she got back to Christian again, she had to admit that her days had been much happier. She felt much safer and more comfortable.
With Christian, she doesn’t have to think about anything. She knew that there would always be someone to help her. With Christian by her side, Ella feels empowered and confident.
Christian coughs awkwardly at Ella’s question. A blush appeared on his face, a rare sight if one might say.
“Do you think I have that much free time?”
“Yes,” Ella replied without trying to cover it up.
Christian couldn’t help but smile on his face and hugged Ella’s waist tighter. “How about we do something so I won’t have much free time?”
Ella immediately understood what the man meant.
What a pervert!
“Can’t you be serious a little bit?” Ella said irritably.
“Hmm…” Christian muttered. He kissed Ella’s lips before saying, “Indri has been kicked out of the Adisurya Family’s house.”
Ella nodded, showing that she already knew about it.
Her nonchalant attitude made Christian frown. He grabbed Ella’s cheeks and made her look at him. “And you don’t care?”
Hearing that question, Ella found it difficult to explain her current feelings.
What should she care about? Should she care about Indri’s life and death?
Ella felt she wasn’t that kind of person.
She felt that what happened to Indri today was the result of her own deeds. If Indri accidentally got into trouble with her, how could all this have happened to her?
“Why should I care about her?”
Christian felt a little relieved when he saw Ella’s indifference. “After they divorced, Haikal would be a widower. He doesn’t have a partner anymore.”
Christian knew that Ella had no feelings for Haikal anymore. But for some reason, he couldn’t get out of his uneasiness, as if he was facing a dead end.
When he remembered that Haikal was Ella’s first love, it was as if a big fire was burning in his heart.
Many people said that first love was the hardest love to forget.
It must have happened to Ella too.
Christian is very upset. Why didn’t they meet earlier? Why wasn’t he Ella’s first love?
“What does that have to do with me if he doesn’t have a partner?” Ella rolled her eyes. She didn’t know what this man was thinking in his mind.
“Doesn’t that mean you can meet him often?” Christian felt that this topic of conversation was heading in a dangerous direction. He knew that his mood could turn very bad after discussing this matter. But now he could only carry on.
“Are you telling me to meet him?” Ella raised her eyebrows and looked at Christian’s face. She could see the change in his face, see the anger that was starting to burn.
“Why are you angry? Is that what you want?” Ella said, trying to free herself from Christian’s arms.
“You dare to do it?” Christian hugged her tighter and warned her in a low voice. “If you dare to meet him, I will drag you back to this house and make you food for stray dogs!”
Hearing the threat, Ella could only curl up in Christian’s arms.
“Can’t you be a little gentler?”
That sounds really bad.
“I’m just reminding you to cherish your life,” Christian said with a smile on his face.
Ella held Christian’s hand and felt the warmth from it. It seemed like she had to stop flirting with this guy, or else it would be dangerous for her. “Now I’m by your side. I will never think of another man again. Don’t worry.”
Ella said those words with ease.
Even though she really liked Christian, Ella didn’t really intend to stay with Christian forever. Being next to Christian put a very heavy pressure on her.
But right now, it was the best choice for her. Better to just let things flow.
Christian was very relieved to hear that. But at the same time, he was also annoyed remembering the many men who approached Ella.
“You will marry me soon.”
Again, Christian talked about marriage.
Ella felt a little helpless when she heard that. “Haven’t I told you before? This is better.”
“But I don’t think so,” Christian said, frowning.
He didn’t have anything to tie Ella to him so he was always worried. By getting married, they would be bound forever and Ella would not be able to leave him.
But Ella didn’t want to.
This was the first time a woman said to him she didn’t want to marry him. It didn’t make sense!
Ella didn’t know that Christian was upset with her. She only thought about how to answer Christian with the right reasons. In the end, she simply said, “Let it flow with time.”
