232 I’m Sorry
“If I wanted to get married now, the woman I would choose would still be her.”
When Hartono heard these words, his hand gripped his walking stick more tightly. His face was red from holding back his anger. “Today, you must cut off your relationship with this woman!”
This is the first ti Hartono has seen his grandson be stubborn just because of a woman.
“Grandpa, it seems that getting older makes you forgetful,” Christian said in a calm voice. However, in that calmness there was also stubbornness.
He walked to a chair and sat looking at his grandfather. “You should know how I am. I don’t like being controlled by other people.”
“Do you want to go against for such a woman?” Hartono turned his gaze towards Ella. His gaze was filled with hatred when he saw her.
anwhile, Ella looked unconcerned.
She never wanted to marry Christian, so Hartono’s threats did not apply to her.
“Do you rember what happened five years ago to Nathan?” Christian said coldly. His gaze was still straight towards Hartono.
.....
Hartono’s face imdiately paled when he heard Christian’s words.
At that ti, Hartono did not want to accept Nathan. The child born out of wedlock was a stain on his family’s reputation. Plus, it’s unclear where Nathan ca from.
After that, Christian did a DNA test and took Nathan away without asking Hartono’s approval.
What did Christian an by discussing the matter? Did that an, if he opposed, Christian would leave the family to marry this woman?
“Christian, have you gone mad?” He said, looking at Christian in disbelief. He couldn’t believe his grandson would do sothing like that just for a woman.
Christian ignored Hartono’s strong rebuke. He pressed a button on the phone on the table. “Co here.”
anwhile, Nadia who was outside could only bite her lip in annoyance. She doesn’t understand why Hartono suddenly becos soft in front of Christian.
Nadia could hear Hartono’s voice trembling slightly after Christian ntioned the problem five years ago. Was there sothing he didn’t know from five years ago?
Nadia didn’t stay there any longer for fear of being caught by Christian’s secretary. She imdiately went downstairs.
As soon as the elevator closed, the other opened. The secretary who got a call from Christian rushed into the CEO’s room.
He looked at Hartono who was sitting while frowning and then said carefully, “Master, please co with .”
“What does this an? I am the head of the Adipamungkas Family!” Hartono snorted coldly. He glanced at the stupid secretary, but still stood up from his seat.
As soon as they left, the room fell silent.
Christian looked at Ella who was still standing in front of the sofa. The man’s face was flat and emotionless.
“Are you afraid?” Christian asked with a faint smile on his face.
Ella shook her head and took a deep breath. “He’s very temperantal.”
It was true what Nathan said earlier. His great-grandfather was scary.
“Don’t worry. I am here. He wouldn’t dare do anything to you,” Christian hugged Ella gently. He brought his lips to Ella’s ear and whispered, “I was very touched by your love confession just now.”
“Love confession?” Ella asked confusedly.
When did she confess her love for Christian?
“It seems you misunderstood.” Ella tried to free herself from Christian’s embrace. Her heart had a bad feeling.
What she said earlier was only ant to convince Hartono that Ella could stay by Christian’s side. Who knew that her statent would be misunderstood.
In fact, it was Christian who took her statent seriously.
Even though Ella had more feelings for Christian, she knew how far the distance between her and the man was.
Even though Ella loved him, she would never dream of getting him.
“Did I misunderstand sothing?” Christian’s eyes looked dim. “Explain to .”
Ella stepped back, then looked at Christian’s face and gulped in fear. She felt like she wanted to keep her mouth shut forever so she didn’t have to explain all this to Christian.
But if she didn’t explain now, things would get even more complicated later on. The bigger the misunderstanding, the bigger the consequences would be for Ella. And she wasn’t sure she could bear it.
“I thought, if I said that, your grandfather would accept . But I didn’t expect him to be so much more stubborn than I imagined.” Ella smiled bitterly. She moistened her dry lips and continued, “From the start, it was clear the agreent between us that we would only get what we needed. I will always rember it. Even if you want to marry , I can’t do it. I don’t deserve you and you don’t love either.”
Ella’s voice grew weaker. “Nathan won’t accept as his mother. We’d better maintain our current relationship. After I get my revenge, we will separate and live our own lives. You will still be the man everyone dreams of.”
After saying that, Ella chuckled. Her eyes looked dreamy as if imagining a beautiful future.
Christian found the smile on Ella’s face dazzling. A smile he rarely saw.
“How about you?”
“I will use the Maheswara Family’s money to buy a house abroad. What do you think of the idea?” Ella’s eyes sparkle like stars, making Christian’s heart flutter even more.
Christian held Ella’s chin and said in a cold voice, “You dare to do it?”
“Why are you this rude?” Ella smiled and took Christian’s hand. “By the ti that happened, you might have forgotten about . Maybe you don’t care where I am anymore. Maybe then, I will think of you. I will tell people how kind you are, the only person who would help through this difficult ti.”
Seeing Ella’s glowing face, Christian could feel the fire inside him ignite. All the happiness he felt earlier disappeared in an instant.
“Don’t you rember? You can only leave if I tell you to.” Christian had absolutely no intention of letting Ella go. He even thought about keeping her by his side his whole life.
Ella imdiately waved her hand. “I don’t rember those words. And I refuse to.”
Ella knew that this was the right ti to please Christian and win his heart. After all, Christian had just said he would choose her if he had to get married tomorrow.
But upon hearing that statent, Ella was surprised and felt confused, not happy.
She could be an obedient woman who fulfilled everything Christian wanted. But love? Ella didn’t want to love anymore...
Christian felt his lungs were about to explode. “Ella, you...”
“Christian, I’m sorry.”
