309 Feeling Like a Bully


    “Father, why did you snatch your son’s future wife from him?” Nathan whispered in his weak voice.


    “Fat boy! You have got up!”


    The joy and enthusiasm shown by E made Christian feel ufortable. Why did E react like this?


    Was his son’s position in E’s heart higher than his?


    His heart became even sadder when he realized that.


    After a while, Nathan felt his sleepiness disappear even though his body still felt ufortable. He looked at his father weakly and said, “Father, don’t let the old woman go again, will you?”


    Nathan’s request made E and Christian both silent. Why did Nathan suddenly ask such a question?


    E’s expression was awkward for a moment as she looked at Nathan. She smiled at Nathan and said, “Are you feeling better?”


    E deliberately changed the subject.


    .....


    Nathan frowned. He wouldn’t be able to calm down until he got a definite answer from E. He wanted to tell E and his father about what Nadia had told him yesterday, but he had doubts. He hesitated when he thought about his great-grandfather.


    If his great-grandfather didn’t like E and wanted to hurt her, would his father be able to protect her?


    Nathan gritted his teeth and said, “That evil woman wants to hurt you. Old woman, you must not leave my father’s side.”


    They all knew very well who the evil woman Nathan was referring to.


    If it weren’t for Nathan’s serious face, Christian and E would have thought Nathan was joking. They thought Nathan was sulking as usual.


    “I’m not a fool. Don’t worry about me,” E stroked Nathan’s soft cheek. “I am also very strong. That woman won’t be able to do anything to me.”


    “But my great-grandfather likes her very much,” Nathan looked very depressed when he said it. He knew very well how scary his great-grandfather was.


    Seeing E who was still calm, Nathan finally said again, “Great-grandfather is so scary, especially his eyes.” He took a deep breath as he recalled the time he lived in the main house.


    “It doesn’t matter. I am not afraid.” E smiled. “I feel bad for him and respect him because he is your great-grandfather. But to me, he is just an insignificant person. So I’m not afraid of him at all.”


    Light seemed to return to Nathan’s eyes as he looked at E with admiration. This woman deserves to be his future wife. This woman is very brave.


    Christian was listening at the side and looked serious. His grandfather wanted to harm E? He opened his mouth and said, “I won’t let anything happen to you.”


    “I’m not a kid. And I’m not that stupid,” E looked at Christian and said calmly.


    She wasn’t the naive girl she used to be. She knew how to take care of herself.


    Seeing E like this, Christian felt a little annoyed. This woman had absolutely no idea what was happening to her. “How can you be this confident? You’ve never even faced him before.”


    Meanwhile, Christian knew his grandfather very well. He knew what his grandfather could do.


    Christian knew what his grandfather used to do when he was still in the business world. Even though he was retired, that didn’t mean he’s not as cruel as he used to be. He still had many ways and connections if he wanted to destroy someone.


    “If I leave you, do you think he’ll waste his time on me?” E pouted and her eyes fell on Christian’s face. She could clearly see the anger in the man’s gaze.


    She knew that Christian wanted to strangle her to death right now.


    Christian couldn’t understand why E still insisted on leaving him. Was staying by his side so bad that she always tried to escape?


    “I won’t let you go,” his eyes were fixed on E, looking at the woman coldly.


    E could feel her broken heart. In front of this man, she felt tremendous pressure. Even though she tried to be confident and didn’t care, her heart still said otherwise.


    Nathan looked even more panicked upon hearing E’s words and he immediately said, “Old woman, can you not go? I’m lonely here.”


    For the first time, Nathan spoke in a tone that appealed to others.


    E herself was surprised when she heard that. In her heart, Nathan was such an important figure that she could feel her heart slowly melt when she heard him say it.


    She didn’t want to leave Nathan. She didn’t want Nathan to feel lonely. She didn’t want Nathan to feel like he didn’t have a family, like she did.


    But Christian...


    Christian could see the doubt in E’s eyes. As he had expected all along, Nathan’s position in E’s heart was far from his own. He was nothing, while Nathan was everything to E.


    While he shouldn’t feel this way, Christian couldn’t deny that he felt jealous.


    Christian pouted and looked at E. “Do you think you can get out of this house without my permission?”


    Regardless of how they both feel, Christian is someone who never gives up. He never fails to get what he wants, no matter what.


    Just as E was about to answer, Christian continued, “Stay here. I’ll let you go to the studio if you stay here.”


    This was the greatest tolerance Christian could give E. If E still refused to ept it, Christian didn’t know what else to do but force her.


    She didn’t want something bad to happen to E because of his grandfather...


    E frowned as she looked into Christian’s face, as if thinking about the reason why the man in front of her insisted on not letting her go. Suddenly, sheughed. “Do you want to use me as a shield because you changed your mind and don’t want to marry Nadia?”


    E tilted her head. She was smiling right now, but it didn’t reach her eyes.


    Christian felt a headache when facing this woman. He just wanted E to be by his side. Why did this woman always think bad things about him?


    Was he that bad in E’s eyes?


    “If I don’t want to get married, do you think anyone can force me?” Christian replied coldly.


    If he was afraid of his grandfather, he might have married the woman of his grandfather’s choice when he brought Nathan to the Adipamungkas Family.


    E averted her gaze from Christian’s face. Her heart and mind seemed to be at war with each other, making E unable to decide.


    Unknowingly, her hands were tightly clenched.


    E knew exactly how she was feeling right now. Although she was toote to realize it and refused to admit her feelings, now she realized what she felt in her heart.


    She wanted to stay with Christian.


    Different from her previous goal, she didn’t want to approach Christian with the excuse of revenge. This time, her heart was truly sincere. She wanted to be with Christian because her heart always beat faster when she was next to him.


    She wanted to be with Christian because her heart was pushing her to do so.


    Nathan looked at the two people in front of him with a gaping mouth. He didn’t know what had happened. But somehow, he felt like a nuisance here.


    Just as he was about to ask a question, Christian suddenly got up and walked out of the room. “Come with me.”
