Perfect Revenge : CEO's Lovely Mistress

370 The Sun Still Shines Bright

“Christian, why did you let a stranger live here?” Hartono said unhappily. His gaze was fixed on Ella, trying to insinuate the woman.

He wanted Ella to know that she didn’t deserve to be in this house, let alone behave as if she’s Christian’s wife.

Christian lifted his head and looked at Nadia. “Did you hear that? Go,” he said casually.

The expression on Nadia’s face looked a little stunned, not expecting Christian to treat her so coldly. After that, she regained control of her expression. There was no need to speak because Hartono was defending her.

As she expected, Hartono immediately said, “Christian! I brought Nadia here.”

“And? Is she not a stranger?” Christian leaned on the sofa looking at Hartono nonchalantly. The cold expression in his eyes made the old man’s heart shiver.

After that, Hartono felt annoyed again. Christian was his grandson. Why should he be afraid of his own grandson?

“Why are you talking like that? Nadia is your fiancée!” Hartono looks at Christian with a face full of disappointment. He didn’t know why his grandson was always against him, especially after this woman came to his life.

Besides, Hartono couldn’t see how good Ella was compared to Nadia.

.....

According to him, Ella couldn’t be compared to Nadia.

Nadia is his chosen granddaughter-in-law. She’s the best partner for Christian.

What’s so good about Ella?

“Actually, who wants to get married? Or is it you?” Christian asked casually.

Hartono immediately answered, “No, you.”

Does this still need to be questioned again?

The corners of Christian’s lips curl into an ironic smile. “Then why is it that you know better who my fiancée is? Even better than me,” he quipped.

“You insolent brat!” Hartono could only say it with anger.

Meanwhile, Christian didn’t care about Hartono at all. He just looked at him indifferently and said, “Grandpa, I will introduce my fianceé to you.”

After saying that, he pulled Ella closer to him. He hugged her tiny body in his arms, feeling much calmer when she was by his side.

He would do anything to protect this woman.

Christian could see that Ella had been silent beside him. He knew that she felt insecure when she was there. She wasn’t confident when she faced Hartono and Nadia who tried to corner her.

Christian will not stand by and let his woman be treated so unfairly.

Christian is the one who will provide security for Ella. He will let Ella know that in this world, Ella is not alone. Even though she has no family, Ella still has Christian who will always stand up for her.

“This is my fianceé, Isabella Maheswara. After much thought, I plan to get engaged to her.”

Ella feels that Hartono will soon explode because of Christian’s behavior. Every sentence that came out of Christian’s mouth seemed to trigger Hartono’s anger.

At first, he didn’t want to get into trouble with Hartono and remained polite to him. But Hartono continued to show a bad attitude towards him.

In addition, Ella felt sorry for Nathan who was always scared whenever he saw Hartono.

She could see Nathan hiding behind Christian. Finally, Ella smiled as she looked at Hartono. “Hello, Grandpa. I am Christian’s fianceé.”

Inside Ella’s mind, she felt like a criminal. She never thought of herself as a good person.

If someone was looking for trouble with her, why should she remain polite and try to please that person?

Of course she had to fight!

Ella looked at Hartono’s face which was slowly turning more and more unsightly. Somehow that expression made her mood feel happy.

She smiled and continued, “I know you don’t like me that much. Don’t worry. After Christian and I are married, I won’t be visiting you so you don’t get angry often. After all, you are old and being angry is not good for your health.”

Ella felt much more relieved after saying the things she kept in her heart.

Christian listened to Ella’s words and smiled indulgently. He felt very satisfied with what Ella said.

From those words, Christian could sense that this woman cared about him too.

Hartono stomped his stick on the ground angrily.

“Who do you think you are!”

Hartono understands what Ella said. Ella is trying to give him a message that once she is married to Hartono, she will not go to meet him at the old house!

This woman is trying to control Christian!

Really ignorant!

Hartono felt as if there was a fire burning inside his stomach. He looked at Ella, wishing he could drag her out right now. He said coldly, “Get out right now!”

“Grandpa, this is my house.” Christian got to his feet to protect Ella behind him. He stood up straight, protecting his woman.

His gaze was fixed on Hartono with annoyance in his eyes. Ella is his woman. How dare Hartono throw him out of this house?

Even though Hartono is his grandfather, he can’t treat Ella like this.

“I think you are completely blinded by this woman!” Hartono took a deep breath with his face still red. His eyes were wide, he looked very angry.

Nadia immediately rushed to grab Hartono’s hand while trying to calm him down. She said softly, “Grandpa, it’s okay. It’s enough for me to see Tian happy.”

“What are you talking about?” Hartono said depressedly. He held Nadia’s hand back and he continued, “The only granddaughter-in-law I acknowledge is you.”

Ella just smiled as she listened. She felt that Hartono was old so he could not see the sincerity and deceit behind Nadia’s calm face.

After hearing what Hartono said, Nadia shook her head quickly. “Grandfather, I really don’t care. I don’t feel hurt or sad.”

However, Hartono understood what Nadia meant. She said she wasn’t hurt when in fact she was. Nadia said she didn’t feel sad, but actually she did.

Finally, Hartono comforted her. “As long as I’m alive, Christian will definitely marry you.”

“Don’t even think about it.” Christian frowned impatiently. He turned and looked for the butler. “Quickly serve the tea. It’s late. It’s better if you go home early.”

Ella saw the sun outside which was still shining brightly. She couldn’t hide her smile.

Did he say it’s getting late? The sun is still high in the sky.

That excuse is really not good!

Hartono swept the teacup on the table with his wand, sending everything falling apart on the floor.

“Christian, don’t expect to marry that woman. You have a relationship like husband and wife with Nadia. So you have to marry her!”
