109 Little Boy’s Savings


    “Old woman, you’re back!”


    E had not yet entered the house but Nathan could already hear her footsteps.


    As soon as he saw E, Nathan immediately ran after her. He circled E repeatedly but did not find any packages in E’s hands.


    Where’s his snack?


    His tiny face immediately wrinkled. He had waited long enough, why did the old womane home empty-handed?!


    “Old woman, where are the snacks you bought for me?”


    E greeted him with an awkwardugh. “I forgot to bring money earlier.”


    “What? Why are you so stupid? How could you forget to bring money!”


    Nathan continued to nag in annoyance. “See, you can’t do anything without me. Do you think you can live out there alone? I just told you to buy snacks and you forgot to bring money. If you are like this, you will die because of your stupidity, you know.”


    .....


    E frowned. How could she die just because she was stupid?


    E really admired Nathan. As soon as he opened his mouth, all the words that came out of his tiny mouth were truly venomous.


    Nathan took her hand and led her into the house, through the living room and straight to his room.


    Nathan’s room was decorated in sky blue, which put E’s heart at ease. She thought that the color brought a peaceful feeling...


    Right now, her heart was in turmoil. What if Liam realized that she was trying to hide something from him? What would he do once he learned that she had changed after five years?


    The words that came out of Liam’s mouth echoed in her ears again.


    ‘I know you must have a reason for everything you do.’


    Liam trusted her so he didn’t mind what E was doing now.


    Reason.... E had so many reasons why she did all this.


    She wants to take back what was rightfully hers.


    She wanted to make those people regret what they had done to her.


    She wanted revenge.


    E tried to get the thought out of her mind. She looked at Nathan. Currently, Nathan was opening the nightstand in his room with his tiny hands.


    When the nightstand opened, E’s eyebrows immediately rose.


    The nightstand was filled with money!


    This 5 year old little boy was way richer than she was!


    Nathan looked doubtful as he looked at the pile of money in his nightstand. How much money should he give E? He didn’t know how much the snack cost...


    After a long thought, he finally took out a wad of money and gave it to E.


    “Old woman, here’s the money!”


    E frowned when she saw how much money Nathan had given her.


    Nathan cleared his throat and said, “I am very diligent in saving. Don’t forget to return the change to me,” he continued seriously.


    ”Okay.” E couldn’t help butugh. This chubby kid was absolutely adorable.


    Besides, E was curious. Why did Nathan save so much money? He should have known how rich Christian was. Even without saving, Nathan could spend his money as he pleased.


    E wanted to ask. But when she saw the sadness on Nathan’s face, E decided to keep quiet.


    Maybe this kid also had a secret that he wanted to keep to himself...


    After taking the money, they both went downstairs, just as Christian arrived home.


    E’s instincts told her to hide as soon as she saw Christian. She still hadn’t figured out how to exin her rtionship with Haikal to Christian.


    If she told the truth, Christian wouldn’t believe her.


    Simrly, if she was lying, Christian would know right away.


    She didn’t know how tofort Christian nor calm him down. She felt that if she met Christian now, she would suffer even more.


    E decided to leave through the back door. Seeing her running towards the back, Nathan thought E felt guilty for making him wait and wanted to hurry up to buy his snacks. He immediately waved his hand and said, “Hurry back!”


    E almost stumbled at the scream.


    But in order to escape from the cruel man behind her, E clutched the money she was carrying in her hands and ran to the supermarket quickly.


    Christian’s eyes darkened when he saw E avoiding him. He got back into his car and chased E.


    In the middle of the road, suddenly E was stopped by a ck car. It almost made her heart drop to her stomach.


    The car window then slowly rolled down, revealing Christian’s perfect face.


    However, no matter how perfect his face was, E still didn’t want to look at him. She wanted to run as fast as she could from that ce!


    “Damn it!” She whispered to herself.


    The supermarket was so close to Christian’s house. She didn’t expect Christian to chase her in a car.


    “Come here.”


    Christian looked at her coldly as did his voice.


    That gaze convinced E that when she approached Christian, the man would surely kill her.


    However, what could she do now? She could only obey everything Christian said.


    “Christian...”


    E stood in front of the window, lowering her head like a child who had made a mistake. But in her heart, she kept cursing the man in front of her.


    What did this man really want?


    No matter how hard she tried to exin it, Christian wouldn’t believe her. He trusted Laras more than E.


    In addition, he sent Laras to get the documents to his house.


    What did Christian want from her?


    “Get in the car,” Christian said nonchntly.


    E opened the door and got into the car thinking what to do now.


    Just as she closed the door, Christian stepped on the gas hard. The car drove so fast and out of the housing estate.


    “Christian?”


    E was surprised. Why did Christian take her away? She had promised to buy a snack for Nathan!


    Throughout the journey, Christian remained in the driver seat with a straight face. After a long time had passed, he finally said, “Why did you run away when you saw me?”


    E pursed her lips, cursing herself inwardly. But on the surface, she smiled and said in a sweet tone, “Weren’t you the one who told me not to show my face if I couldn’t give you the exnation you wanted? I’m just following your order.”


    “Oh? So you’re ming me now?” Christian’s gaze grew colder as it swept across E.


    E shuddered when she felt that gaze.


    How could she dare to me Christian? Could this man stop twisting her words for once?


    E cherished ??her life very much and still wanted to live!


    “No... Of course not. You have everything in your hand, Christian. How would I dare to me you?” E tried to say it as sincerely as possible, as if she had actually seen death knocking on her door.


    Even though Christian knew that E was lying, he was still pleased with thepliments that came out of E’s mouth.


    “Since when did you like me?” Christian asked nonchntly, as if he’s asking about the weather.
