233 Offering Cooperation

“Christian, I’m sorry.” Ella looked up and looked at Christian while expressing her apology weakly.

On her face, the woman still had her usual smile. A smile that was made of a thick layer of her defensive mask, to keep others from getting into her heart.

Seeing Ella this way, Christian felt a sense of frustration he had never felt before.

This woman made him feel many new feelings that he had never met before.

“No,” even though his lips spoke those cold words, his hand still gripped Ella’s hand gently. “Don’t you love me?”

“Why do you think like that?”

“Because...” not finishing his sentence, Christian could only frown. After that, he let go of Ella’s hand and said, “Come out.”

Ella nodded and obeyed Christian’s words. She left the room without a second thought.

After closing the door, Ella leaned against the door with her heart pounding like a drum. What did Christian say to her just now? Was that his love confession?

.....

Ella raised her hand to stroke her chest. She knew what her heart was feeling right now. She felt hope.

The hope made her panic and rushed into the elevator.

As soon as she left Christian’s company, Ella immediately walked to the bus stop and waited for the bus heading towards Christian’s house.

Not long after, a black Bentley suddenly stopped in front of her. Ella saw Liam’s figure from the lowered window.

“Ella,” Liam smiled gently as usual.



It had been quite a while since Ella had last seen Liam. His body that was previously thin from stress seemed to have returned to normal. In addition, Liam looked more energetic, not as pale as before.



“Liam, did you come here for business matters?” Ella asked. This man came to a place near Christian’s company. It’s possible that Liam wanted to meet with Christian to discuss business matters.

Saying that, Ella stepped back, as if to distance herself from Liam.

Her deliberate action made Liam disappointed. But his disappointment was overcome by his excitement when he met Ella today.

“I want to take you to meet someone. Get in,” he said while leaning against the window.

Ella wanted to refuse, but Liam seemed to have expected Ella’s reaction and said, “The person we are going to meet is Haikal.”

“Why do you want to take me to meet him?” Ella looked at Liam in surprise.

After the wedding party, news of Haikal and Indri filled the whole network. Their marriage looked very peaceful and serene. Haikal was never seen in nightclubs or other places again.

Apparently, he had made an agreement with the Maheswara Family.

“It’s still a secret,” Liam was mysterious by hiding the reason for their meeting. Seeing Ella’s beautiful face, Liam’s eyes were filled with tenderness. “Ella, get in the car. I know you won’t be able to refuse.”

“Liam, I...”

“It’s about the Maheswara Family. Are you sure you don’t want to come with me?” Liam knew that Ella would insist on refusing him so Liam interrupted her first.

Liam also knew that Ella wouldn’t turn him down when it came to her family matters.

Without Ella knowing, Liam’s hand gripped the steering wheel tighter. There was a hint of anger as Liam pressed his lips together.

It was those people who had made Ella what she was and Liam was not going to let them go.

Hearing that this matter involved the Maheswara Family, Ella immediately nodded. “Thank you, Liam.”

Ella immediately entered the passenger seat, making the expression on Liam’s face much better. Their car slowly headed towards their destination, a western restaurant located not far from there.

During the trip, Liam kept looking for things to chat with Ella. Naturally, he could make Ella feel comfortable around him. Just as he was about to get out of the car, Liam couldn’t help but say, “Ella, you don’t have to walk away from me like this. You know how I feel for you. I want to marry you. I don’t care what your past was like and what you are now. Indeed I am no better than Christian. But if you want to leave him, I will accept you as you are.”

Ella’s hand that was holding the car’s door instantly stiffened.

“Liam, forget it. All of your family members will not agree that you have a relationship with a woman like me.” Ella turned her head and looked at Liam’s face. “I know that ever since we were little, when I was the eldest daughter of the Maheswara Family, your family wasn’t very happy when you played with me. And now...”

“They won’t be able to interfere in my personal affairs,” Liam hurriedly replied while looking at Ella’s face with affection.

He immediately got out of the car and opened the passenger’s door.

Ella opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she stopped herself. She knew that Liam saw through her and what Ella just said was the truth.

Ella could never be with Liam because she didn’t deserve him.

Unfortunately, Liam is too stubborn and doesn’t want to face this reality.

The two of them immediately entered the designated restaurant. Liam said something to the waiter who opened the door for them so that the waiter immediately escorted them to the VIP room.

As soon as the door was opened, Ella saw Haikal leaning on a chair while enjoying wine.

Haikal had always been known as a classy man in the city. Not only because of all the luxury goods that he used, even his demeanor always showed that he came from a rich family.

Unfortunately, Haikal couldn’t even compare to Liam, let alone Christian.

Hearing the sound of the door, Haikal immediately turned his head. His eyes lit up brightly when he discovered that it was Ella who had entered the room.

Ella wore a simple long dress today. With her long flowing hair, she looks elegant without much effort.

“Haikal,” Ella’s faint voice when she called his name made Haikal’s eyes sparkle even more. He completely ignored Liam and went straight to Ella, looking at her with a surprised look. “Ella, why are you here?”

“Of course she has the right to participate in anything related to the Maheswara Family,” Liam led Ella to sit opposite Haikal. “I want to talk about cooperation with you.”

Haikal looked at Liam and Ella who were sitting side by side. Their closeness made Haikal frown in displeasure, but he didn’t say anything.

Now he was much more interested in what Liam had to offer.

“What cooperation?”
