421 The Meaning of a House
“This swing…” Ella paused as she looked at the white swing in front of her. The swing looks nice with the seat made of white padding. The back has a backrest made of rattan. Everything is painted in white.
Not only that, various kinds of flowers adorn the swing, making it look like it came out of a fairy tale.
“I prepared it for you. Do you like it?” Christian asked.
As soon as those words left Christian’s mouth, Nathan and the butler were shocked at the same time.
The one who couldn’t accept it the most was of course Nathan. This was the surprise he had prepared for Ella while waiting for the old woman to come home! Meanwhile, the butler who was behind him felt his face stiffen.
If his Master has said so… What can he do?
At the same time, Christian stands where he is, looking completely guiltless. Eyes wide, Ella looks at Christian in disbelief.
Is this really a gift from Christian? Since when did Christian become this romantic?
Ella walks over to Christian and immediately hugs him. “Christian, thank you.”
.....
A satisfied smile appears on Christian’s lips. It was true that whatever Nathan prepared was always according to Ella’s taste.
Christian didn’t feel guilty when he claimed the surprise Nathan had prepared for Ella beforehand. He didn’t even look at his son at all.
At this time, Nathan glared at Christian, hoping he’d find the slightest trace of guilt on his father’s face. But it’s a shame that his wish was not fulfilled.
“Dad…”
Nathan couldn’t help but call out his father’s name, but he got a warning look from Christian instead.
His father threatened him!
Nathan took a deep breath and…. He gave up! He felt very annoyed and angry, he wanted to complain to Ella. But right now, Ella is in Christian’s arms and they both look very sweet.
Nathan turned to his butler and the old man smiled with relief. No matter how big the storm was out there, after returning home, everything became calm and peaceful again.
This is the meaning of a house. A shelter from the waves and storms out there.
“There, try the swing,” Christian puts his arm around Ella’s shoulders and leads her towards the swing.
Nathan’s gaze was fixed on the two of them, filled with displeasure. After pondering for a while, he finally moved his fat legs to walk towards Ella.
“Old woman, let me sit with you.”
“You want to play with her too?” Christian glanced at his son coldly, then invited Ella to walk towards the swing again.
The swing was painted white, decorated with various kinds of flowers by Nathan so that the swing looked very sweet. From white, blue, pink, yellow … the flowers made the swing look colorful and bright.
So that he could ride this swing with Ella, Nathan made it big enough for two people. But instead of him, it was Christian who was sitting there.
The other three people there immediately fell silent, speechless.
Finally, it was Ella who spoke up. “Christian, what are you doing? You’re already big. Let Nathan play this swing with me. Come down first.”
“I prepared this,” Christian was not embarrassed in the slightest.
Nathan puffed his cheeks in annoyance and leaned closer to Ella to climb into her lap.
“Old woman, my heart hurts!” With a pitiful look, he looked at Ella, trying to look pathetic.
Ella knew Nathan must be sad that Christian wouldn’t let him try this swing. Finally, Ella carried Nathan into her lap and smiled. “Let’s play together.”
Nathan’s eyes immediately lit up brightly, looking proudly at the butler and his father.
The butler could only try to hold back his laughter and leave the three of them to relax.
Meanwhile, Christian frowned. Nathan shouldn’t have interfered when he spent his time with Ella. His son should have come to his senses.
Unfortunately, Nathan didn’t care. In a naughty manner, he ignored Christian who was there.
A light breeze blew, accompanying them as they played with the swing. The atmosphere is very calm and peaceful. The butler, who was still on guard on the terrace, looked a little sweaty from the hot sun. But a smile graced his face.
Ella looked down at Nathan who was on her lap. Nathan’s face was full of joy. The corners of his lips curved into a smile. In the past, he thought this swing was a girl’s toy so he rarely played with it. But now he found this swing very enjoyable. Perhaps he would spend many afternoons here with Ella.
His loneliness when he was at home alone had suddenly disappeared without a trace since Ella’s arrival.
After that, he lifted his head and looked at Christian who was beside him. Christian’s face still looks cold, making it hard for anyone to read his feelings now. Is this man angry? What could’ve pissed him off?
Ella thought for a moment and then stroked Christian’s back gently.
Christian turns to the side at Ella’s touch and sees a smile on her face. That smile looks cute. With the sun partially shining on her face and the wind blowing her hair, Ella looked very beautiful and shining.
Christian knows that Ella is beautiful all the time. But right now, she really looks amazing, like an angel who shouldn’t be on this earth.
Anything from Ella can always touch his heart.
Ella was not the most beautiful of all the women he had ever seen in his life. Not the woman with the kindest heart in the world too. There are more beautiful women out there, also kinder and more noble women. But Ella is the only woman he wants in this world. Regardless of her past, Christian wants to be one with Ella, fuse their bones and blood into one.
Seeing Ella’s face, Christian feels lost.
Ella notices the look of admiration in Christian’s eyes and immediately blushes.
She wanted to say something at this point, but didn’t know what to say. In the end, she could only stare back at Christian.
After a long time, Ella finally said, “Destiny is very beautiful.”
Destiny brought them together. It was fate that made them find each other. Fate brought them together.
“Yes,” Christian replies, holding Ella’s hand.
Ella was silent for a moment and a moment later immediately grabbed Christian’s hand tightly.
Christian has become an important part of her life. Even though there are many obstacles in her life, Ella will struggle to face them.
She will fight to stay with this man.
