Chapter 422 - 422 A Scary Movie
422 A Scary Movie
Considering Ella’s mood today, Christian doesn’t need to go to his company. He accompanies Ella all day at home, watching television in the living room.
At night, Nathan was lying in bed playing with his cell phone. He wanted to watch a movie before going to bed. Just then, Christian came into his room. He helped Nathan to choose a movie and returned the phone to Nathan.
“The swing is beautiful,” Christian said at first. “Ella is sad today. That’s why I said I prepared the swing to make her mood better. Sorry for earlier.”
Nathan could hardly believe his own ears. Did his father admit he was wrong?
Is he hallucinating?
Before he realized it, Christian was out of his room first.
Nathan was happy that his father admitted his mistake. He turned on the movie his father had chosen for him and started watching it.
He had never seen a movie like this before. For some reason, the poster looked a bit lettery. When he saw a female ghost in a red dress suddenly appear on the screen, Nathan screamed loudly and even threw his cell phone.
“Ahhhh!” The loud scream echoed throughout the house.
.....
The butler rushed into Nathan’s room, followed by Ella.
“Nathan, what’s wrong?” When Ella entered Nathan’s room, she saw the fat boy sitting on the bed. Her arrival made Nathan burst into tears.
“I’m so scared...” He said, pointing at the phone that was already lying on the floor.
Ella glanced at him and frowned. “Why do you watch a scary movie at night?”
“Scary movie?” Nathan was still crying in fear while sobbing. Tears still welled up in his eyes as he recalled that it was his father who chose the movie for him.
How could his father treat him like this?
He immediately felt even more dejected and complained to Ella, “Old woman, father chose it for me…”
The butler who was standing on the side wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Was it true that his master did such a… cheap trick?
Did the master prank his own son?
However, looking back, maybe it was because Christian was annoyed with Nathan for interrupting his time with Ella on the swing this afternoon.
For the second time today, the butler couldn’t help but laugh.
When Ella heard Nathan’s complaint, the corners of her lips twitched, suppressing a smile. She was still stroking Nathan’s back and trying to comfort him. “Don’t worry, I will teach him a lesson later. Next time, we’ll pretend to be a ghost and scare him. How?”
Nathan stopped crying and lifted his head. He felt that this method made a lot of sense so he nodded.
Incidentally, Christian walked into Nathan’s room at this time.
He picked up the phone that was on the floor and looked at the screen while raising his eyebrows. He looked completely innocent for scaring his own son.
“I picked the wrong movie,” he said casually.
Nathan’s tears returned to his eyes. His heart ached. He wondered, was he really his father’s biological son?
He turned and looked at Ella and asked, “Old woman, am I really my father’s son?”
“Yes,” Ella nodded confidently.
Nathan thought for a moment and then asked again, “Then why is he treating me like this?”
“Your father didn’t mean it. He was careless.” Ella was at a loss for words, not knowing how to explain.
Nathan tilted his head for a long time and finally nodded. His innocent nod made Ella feel guilty for lying to a small child.
She had sinned!
Just as she was about to say something, Nathan was already hugging her arm crazily. “Old woman, I am still very scared. How about you sleep with me tonight?”
“Hmm… Alright,” Ella immediately agreed without any hesitation. She was also worried that Nathan would not be able to sleep tonight.
When she felt the gaze behind her body, Ella couldn’t help but curl up. She forgot Christian when she agreed to Nathan’s request.
But she felt sorry for Nathan. The fat kid looks so pitiful…
After thinking hard, Ella finally decided to stay with Nathan. “I will accompany you tonight. Don’t be afraid.”
After saying that, she turned to Christian and asked, “You don’t mind, do you?”
“I’m going to my working room.”
Christian turned and left the room. There was a hidden meaning behind that sentence— come to me later.
Ella couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
Christian made his son scared at night and now he’s mad!
As long as Ella was with him, Nathan felt very happy. He hugged Ella while telling many stories. Ella’s presence made him excited and didn’t want to sleep.
Around 10 o’clock, Nathan finally felt tired and fell asleep.
Ella lowered her head and looked at the fat boy in her arms with a gentle smile on her face.
Suddenly, she really missed her own child.
She has seen many interactions between mother and child from others. A mother sings her child in her arms and the child smiles happily because their mother is with them.
Ella also wanted to do that to her child.
Ella lay down and stared at the ceiling in Nathan’s room, thinking about her son. She still remembered the first time she heard the heartbeat of the fetus in her womb. She was able to see her son via ultrasound during the examination.
As she thought about it, a smile appeared on her lips, but tears started to pool on her eyes. The pain was still felt to this day. It was much more painful than cutting her own hand.
During the five years she was in a mental hospital, Ella often imagined moments with her child, imagining if the child was still alive.
She must be very happy.
She lived for five years with hatred in her heart. Since she knew that her son was gone, the hatred in her heart grew stronger and gnawed at her, making her unable to see the happiness in her life. There was only hatred in her eyes.
In the darkness, Ella wept silently.
She heard the door open and immediately wiped the tears from her face.
Christian walked to the bedside and immediately picked up Ella from Nathan’s bed, leading her out of the room.
This woman… Did she have no intention of listening to his order tonight?
Ella was silent even though Christian carried her. She lets Christian carry her into the study, snuggled up so her body rests on Christian’s chest.
Christian feels something is wrong with Ella’s condition. He lowered Ella on his desk and looked at her face. When he touched Ella’s cheek, he could still see a trace of her tears.
“Did you cry earlier?” Christian felt as if his heart was being gripped. He thought Ella was sad about her painting being disqualified so he tried to cheer her up. “I’ll take care of it. It’s just a small competition. Don’t be sad.”
“Yeah,” Ella just nodded, letting Christian hug her while she’s still sitting on the table.
