Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

243 Won’t Eat

In the living room, Christian looked dazed as he played with the barbie doll Ella gave him yesterday.

Nathan had been observing his father for a long time and was very confused by his behavior. Finally, he dared to approach his father and ask, “Father, what about the old woman?”

His father didn’t allow him to get any closer to the main room so Nathan couldn’t see Ella.

Christian only glanced at him. He didn’t say anything and was still fiddling with the barbie doll in his hands.

Nathan became even more sad because he didn’t get an answer from his father. He walked over to Christian and sat beside him, brushing away the barbie doll that’s making his father dazed.

“Father, I’m talking about an important matter.”

Losing the doll in his hand, Christian is forced to turn his gaze to Nathan in annoyance.

Nathan felt a little scared at his father’s gaze and slightly backed away.

“Father, you need to calm down.”

.....

Why is this father constantly angry? Nathan did not understand what made his father so angry. Except because... he took the barbie doll from his father’s hands?

Does that mean his father really likes the doll?

Nathan immediately put the doll back into Christian’s hands and said, “Dad, if you like it, take good care of it.”

Christian’s face instantly turned gloomy.

Nathan didn’t know what to do. He wanted to ask his father about Ella’s condition. But given the current situation, he knew that he would not get any answers.

Just as Nathan was about to leave in frustration, Christian suddenly said, “You care about her?”

“Yes,” Nathan replied, nodding. Then he continued, “Dad, I know you are very disappointed that the old woman forgot your birthday and gave you this doll. But you have to believe that she didn’t do it on purpose.”

Nathan tried to appear sincere and persuaded Christian to believe what he said.

Christian looked at Nathan for a long moment before saying, “Someone took a photo of her with another man.”
Christian did not mind the gift given by Ella. He was just a little disappointed that Ella forgot his birthday, but he could forgive her for the trouble.

What made it difficult for him to forgive Ella was because she had met another man. He didn’t want his woman to be with another man.

“Perhaps there was a misunderstanding?” Nathan also didn’t like seeing Ella with another man. But he was not as temperamental as his father. He wanted to help the old woman and would do anything to persuade his father.

As long as his father forgave Ella, everything would be easier.

Hearing what Nathan said, Christian raised his eyebrows and walked upstairs.

A servant came back into Ella’s room, wanting to clear up the breakfast plate she had brought. She felt very relieved when he saw the empty plates and glasses.

‘Fortunately, Miss Ella has eaten it all. Otherwise, the Master will surely be angry again.’

When Christian appeared at the door, Ella was still curled up under the covers. She closed her eyes, but couldn’t sleep at all.

The pain all over her body reminded her of what she had experienced last night. Her hands were clenched into fists when she heard Christian’s footsteps. She didn’t know what to do with Christian.

“Why is she sleeping again?” Christian asked coldly.

The maid replied shakily, “Miss Ella fell asleep after breakfast. Maybe because she wasn’t feeling well.”

The second sentence made Christian’s brow furrow.

He felt a little guilty for not taking better care of Ella last night. Maybe he went too rough.

He walked back to the bed. Seeing Ella’s tiny body buried under the blanket, Christian raised his hand and caressed her head which was sticking out of the thick blanket.

Ella’s skin was so soft against Christian’s fingers, making him feel so comfortable.

Ella snuggled deeper and slightly shy away from feeling Christian’s touch. She felt fear from the bottom of her heart.

“Don’t be afraid,” the man’s voice was still as attractive as before.

Christian stroked Ella’s head gently. His gaze seemed to be getting softer.

Ella just closed her eyes tightly, not wanting to see anything in front of her. She didn’t want to see Christian.

Ella could feel the hand on her head disappearing. The sound of Christian’s footsteps rang in her ears, getting farther and farther away.

Just as she thought Christian was gone, an angry voice rang out, “You threw away your food?”

Ella hid herself under the blanket without saying anything.

“Isabella!” Christian shouted. After that, Christian pursed his lips, as if trying to contain his immense anger.

He thought Ella had learned a lesson for everything she did and regretted her actions. But he didn’t expect this woman to be so stubborn.

“Who gave you the courage to go against me?”

Christian walked back towards Ella and immediately pulled her out of the blanket.

Ella kept her eyes closed. When she felt Christian close, her body trembled even more violently.

“Ella, answer my question!”

Christian let go of Ella, letting her fall back onto the bed. After that, he gripped Ella’s wrist tightly.

Ella let Christian do anything to her, but she didn’t open her eyes and said nothing.

If she couldn’t fight Christian, she’d better run away from all of this. She’d better just keep quiet and let Christian do whatever he wanted to her.



She didn’t have the energy to fight Christian anymore.

Christian’s gaze fell on the bruises on Ella’s neck. Finally, he averted his eyes and told the servants who were standing on guard outside the door to come in.

The servants trembled at the sight of Christian sitting on the edge of the bed. They knew that their master was furious.

Christian kicked the trash can with his foot, causing the maids to squeal a little. Then, they lowered their heads without saying anything.

“Is this what you mean by having finished the meal?” The servants saw the milk and bread in the trash. The bread was still whole and a little wet from the milk Ella had thrown away.

The floor was dirty with the scattering trash. But the servants did not dare to complain.

Their faces looked pale.

“Sir, we are sorry. We will pay more attention to her next time,” the maids immediately apologized and admitted their mistake.

“If she lost the weight, I will punish you!” Christian said grimly. “Hurry up and get some new breakfast.”

It didn’t take long, a tray containing new food was brought straight to the room.

Christian looked at his servants coldly. After that, when he turned his gaze towards Ella, he looked a little softer.

“Get up and eat first,” though his gaze was gentle, Christian’s voice was still cold.

Ella was silent for a long time and finally answered, “I don’t want to eat.”
