Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

353 Love Can’t Be Equated

“If Nathan’s birth mother returns, what should I do? Would Nathan like her more than me? And what about you? Would you prefer her over me?”

When he heard Ella’s barrage of questions, Christian wasn’t upset at all. He even felt happy.

This woman finally knew what it’s like to be jealous and panicked!

Christian pretended to think it over seriously and said, “If he was a lot more considerate and intelligent than you, I’d probably prefer him. That’s why you must always be nice to me. You know that, right?”

This was a very rare opportunity. There’s no way Christian could have missed it, right?

Ella tilted her head and looked at the haughty man. “You said you wanted to marry me?”

Ella opened her eyes and looked at Christian with a pitiful look. Now the drowsiness was completely gone.

Christian became even more proud when he saw it. “See how you look later.”

“What if I’m not being nice?”

.....

“Of course I wouldn’t marry you if you weren’t being nice.”

Christian had just said it, but Ella was already out of bed. She smiled as she looked at the dumbfounded man. “It seems that my attitude is very bad. How about we don’t just get married?”

“Ella! You are talking nonsense!” Christian’s good mood this morning just disappeared.

After what happened, Ella still didn’t want to marry him.

He raised his hand to pull Ella back into his arms and said viciously, “If you refuse when I propose to you, I will kill you.”

Christian would never want to experience the humiliation of being rejected during a proposal!

Although the words that come out of his mouth sound cruel, Christian always treated Ella gently.

He hugged Ella tightly, but not so tightly as not to hurt her.

“You want to force me to marry you?” Ella struggled and put her hand on Christian’s chest.

However, her movement actually had the opposite effect. Christian was tempted. What’s more, on a morning like this, one of his body parts was very active.

Christian’s eyes darkened as he kissed Ella’s cheek and said, “I’m going to force you to marry me. Just try it if you have the ability to escape from me.”

“Can I run away from you?” Ella asked desperately.

“It’s good that you know that,” Christian nodded with satisfaction. His gaze fell on Ella’s delicate face. “I have already announced to everyone that you are my woman. If you don’t marry me, everyone will laugh at us,” he said seriously.

Ella thought for a long time, but found no connection between the two sentences. If she parted with Christian, wouldn’t all the women in town cheer for it?

Ella leaned closer to Christian’s and leaned in his arms. After that, she asked seriously, “I really want to know the woman who gave birth to your son.”

Christian took a deep breath. It seemed like Ella wouldn’t let go of this topic if he didn’t answer. Ella would keep asking questions until Christian answered them.

Determined to tell the truth, Christian asked, “Do you really want to know?”

“Yes.” Ella got nervous when she saw the serious look on Christian’s face. Her hands that held Christian’s chest involuntarily clenched into fists.

She was afraid that one day she would come and get rid of her. She was afraid that she had a special place in Christian’s heart.

Her relationship with Christian had become this good. If that woman came…

In an instant, various scenarios appeared in Ella’s mind and each one made her feel very nervous.

Christian thought for a long time as if contemplating whether he should tell Ella the truth. In the end, he said, “Just like you, I don’t know who that woman is.”

“Ah?” Ella was stunned.

The answer was completely unimaginable in her mind.

“Christian?” Ella sounded doubtful. “So… you slept with an unknown woman?”

The discomfort in her heart had been replaced with curiosity and surprise. There was an urge in her heart to gossip.

She really admired the woman who could make Christian like this. In this city, who dared to force Christian to sleep with her?

That woman was so brave!

Seeing the interest in Ella’s eyes, Christian pinched her cheeks. “Your man slept with another woman. Why are you so happy?”

“I’m not happy. I was just curious.”

Ella rested her head on Christian’s bare chest again. Christian’s breath was on the top of her head, making her feel a little hot.

Time passed in silence.

Suddenly, Ella asked, “Do you hate that woman? I really hate the man who slept with me.” Ella paused for a moment and then continued, “At least you are much luckier than me. You still have Nathan. While I have no one. Why did they have to kill my son?”

Ella’s voice was slightly trembling. Christian immediately hugged Ella’s waist and buried his head in Ella’s hair. “If you like kids, we can have them later.”

“I don’t want to for now,” Ella said, shaking her head. “Nathan would definitely reject the idea.”

“You only have Nathan in your mind every day,” Christian murmured displeasedly. When would Ella put him in first place?

“Nathan is your son. Of course I have to care for him. Plus, I really like her. He is a very sweet child.” Whenever she talked about Nathan, Ella always felt happy. Her gaze would look warm as if her motherly side radiated.

She could imagine how Nathan would grow up in the future. With a dreamy look as if imagining the future, she said to Christian, “I’m sure Nathan will grow up to be a gentle and warm man. There will be many women who will fall in love with him. He’s very sweet.”

Ella looked so innocent. Christian felt exasperated as he stroked her head gently. “You stupid.”

He had never seen a woman like Ella. Usually, women would fall in love with him first and try to get close to Nathan just to get him.

But Ella fell in love with his son first.

Christian was silent for a moment, trying to process Ella’s words. After that, he found a pretty important point. “Do you like a gentle and warm man?”

A gentle and warm man like Liam?

“Women who have suffered in their life like this type,” Ella said. She didn’t change her position and remained in Christian’s arms.

“I’m not that kind of man. So… you don’t like me?” Christian asked calmly.

Ella blinked her eyes repeatedly. “Love is not that simple. Let me give an example. In the past, you liked women who were gentle and innocent. But after meeting me, you fell in love with me. You can’t perceive love this way. No love is the same. Love cannot be equated.”
