Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

362 A simple declaration of love

After talking to Budi on the phone earlier, Ella’s mood was ruined. Ella had been sitting on the sofa looking out the window since then. Sadly, her mind was wandering all over the place.

She couldn’t focus at all.

Christian took a light blanket and covered her, worried about Ella’s current condition. After that, he stroked her head gently, “Why think about other people’s words? Now you have me. You know that, right?”

He was also depressed seeing Ella like this.

At Christian’s words, Ella turned and looked at the man’s face. She could see the seriousness in Christian’s eyes so Ella knew his words weren’t just consolation.

The man was serious.

She raised her arms and wrapped them around Christian’s waist. “Thank you. If it weren’t for you, I would have never known what that person’s true nature was like,” Ella whispered.

For the past five years, Ella had always wondered why all this had to happen to her. Even though she asked a thousand times, she never got the answer.

Until finally, the answer she was looking for finally came out of Budi’s mouth. It turned out that her father had used her since she was a child.

.....

Of course that wasn’t the answer she was expecting.

Now, she really felt stupid for still believing that her father loved her.

“But you weren’t happy after finding out.” Christian took a deep breath. Indeed, finding answers was not always a relief, as Ella was experiencing now. “Don’t worry, I’ll avenge everything for you.”

“Christian, I’m really tired.” Ella took a deep breath. Her voice sounded weak, as if she had exhausted all her energy. Her eyes felt hot as she blinked repeatedly. She lifted her head, not wanting to let the tears fall. But the tears welled up and obscured her vision.

“If you’re tired, rest first.” Christian stroked Ella’s head gently and sat down beside her. He embraced Ella and let her rest her whole body on him. Christian seemed to want to tell Ella that it’s okay to share the burden with him.

He was willing to endure everything for Ella’s sake, if that would stop her from being said.

Christian’s eyes turned sharp when he saw this incident. He would not let any of the Maheswara Family escape. He would not let them live in peace.

Ella didn’t say anything else. She just leaned against Christian’s body and closed her eyes.

As if comforting a small child, Christian patted Ella on the back gently and waited for her to fall asleep before carrying her to bed.

However, just as Christian was about to let her sleep, Ella frowned. Her sleep was not peaceful. She turned her body over and over again, feeling uncomfortable.



Finally Christian decided to take off his shoes and climb into bed, hugging Ella and sleeping with her.

Because of Christian’s warm embrace, Ella finally fell asleep. The hug made her feel safe and comfortable.

…

When Ella woke up, Christian was no longer beside her. He had returned to his study and was taking care of some work.

Ella looked at the clock on the wall. It’s 8 o’clock at night.

Afraid that Ella will wake up suddenly, Christian didn’t close the door to his room. Ella tilted her head, peering at Christian who was out there with a gentle gaze.

She suddenly remembered the gift circling her finger.

She raised her hand and looked at the ring, removing it from her finger to take a closer look.

The ring was very beautiful and Ella really liked it.

She twirled it and found an inscription engraved on the inside of the ring. The writing was in English.

Ella turned it around and looked at it closely with the help of the dim light from the lamp above the nightstand.

‘Isabella, I Love You’

At the same time, Ella’s heart felt like it was being squeezed hard. Fireworks seemed to explode in her head. There was a feeling that filled her heart completely until it rose to her eyes.

She tried not to cry.

She tried not to shed tears because of this beautiful confession of love.

Simple, but beautiful.

That man…

Too shy to reveal it directly, Christian resorted to this method.

What if she didn’t find this inscription? Would Christian wait for her to express her feelings first before he confessed his?

‘You stupid…’

She turned and looked at the man who was still focused on reading the document in his hand.

Christian’s left arm was injured. Since Ella couldn’t bandage it neatly, the bandage wrapped around his arm looked really ugly.

Ella knew Christian must be disgusted by the bandage. But since Ella had done it for him, he seemed unwilling to take it off.

Christian also attacked the Maheswara Family to make Ella happy.

Ella saw all of this with her own eyes.

At that moment, Christian realized that Ella was awake. He immediately put down the document in his hand and walked towards her.

“How do you feel?”

Christian even raised his hand to check Ella’s temperature from her forehead. He was afraid that Ella would be stressed and sick because of this problem.

“I’m fine.” Ella looked at Christian closely. She took Christian’s big hand and said, “Christian, I love you.”

The sudden confession of love left Christian feeling overwhelmed.

He opened his mouth and found that he couldn’t make the slightest sound.

Happiness, surprise and excitement swept through him. He didn’t even know what kind of expression he had on his face right now.

Ella looked at him with a faint smile. “Why are you reacting like this?”

“Ella…” Christian could only call out Ella’s name and hugged her tightly as if to fuse their bodies into one. “Is what you said true?”

“Do I look like I’m joking?” Ella asked back.

Christian thought for a moment and said, “You lied to me a lot before.”

“So you know?” Ella was shocked and shouted. She thought she had lied so well that no one would know. But it turned out that Christian knew everything.

That’s really embarrassing!

“Do you think I’m stupid?” Christian felt so happy now that he didn’t care about the things Ella did before.

Even though he knew that Ella wasn’t sincere to him at first, Christian still wanted Ella by his side.

Ella pursed her lips and couldn’t stop herself from saying. “Why didn’t you tell me? Pretending and acting is really hard!”

While doing so, Ella was overjoyed because she thought she managed to trick Christian. How could it never have crossed her mind that Christian already knew everything?

In Christian’s eyes, Ella was like an open book, and he could easily read the storyline.

Ella was really embarrassed to death!

“Oh, one more thing.” Suddenly, Christian looked serious. “Indri wants to apologize to you.”
