Chapter 223
Unfortunately, it wasn’t the warm welcome that she received from Christian. “Sorry, I don’t remember you.” He just looked at Nadia briefly and then looked away.
He prefered the petite woman in his house. Ella looked much more pleasing to the eye than the woman who was approaching him right now.
When he thought that Ella was still waiting for him at home, he had no intention of staying here any longer.
“Tian, ??you’ve changed a lot,” Nadia’s face showed sadness. Looking at Christian, she took a deep breath. “I didn’t expect you to be this cold to me.”
The faint scent of perfume wafted from her body, it smelled like a refreshing floral scent. Although the perfume was not excessive, Christian still did not like it.
He frowned and stepped back to avoid her.
“Tian?” Nadia was aware of Christian’s every move. She looks at Christian with wide eyes and a look of disbelief.
Tears started to well up in her eyes, but she bit her lip to hold them back. Then, a wide smile appeared on her face. “I know I’ve been gone too long. You must be in love with another woman. But Tian, ??you should be looking for the right mother for Nathan, right?”
.....
Of course Christian really didn’t like it when he heard that statement. Nadia seemed to be leading Hartono’s opinion.
From the start, Hartono disliked and even suspected Nathan’s birth. Unfortunately, the DNA test results that year proved that Nathan was indeed a descendant of the Adipamungkas Family. However, it was not enough to make Hartono forget about how Nathan was born in this world.
Nathan would be forever an illegitimate child, a child Christian had out of wedlock. And that didn’t sound good to their family.
However, if there was a woman who married Christian and they had another child, the origin of the child would not be the same as Nathan’s.
The child would be the rightful heir of the Adipamungkas Family.
Christian’s lips seemed to be twitching as if holding back his emotions. “He’s 5 years old now. He can live without his mother,” saying it, Christian clenched his fists tightly.
Nathan’s birth mother was something that nobody should casually talk about in front of him. Was this woman not afraid of death? Christian didn’t mind making this woman regret her words.
“Tian, ??grandpa is also very worried about you.”
Nadia looked very sincere. She held Hartono’s hand and shook it gently. “Isn’t that right, Grandpa?”
Nadia’s soft voice made the wrinkles on Hartono’s forehead disappear.
Since childhood, he really liked Nadia. Nadia was a graceful and gentle girl, very different from all the women who tried to get close to his grandson. No one deserved to be with Christian other than Nadia.
Together with Nadia, things would be much better.
Christian and Nadia are a very compatible couple in Hartono’s eyes.
When Hartono was about to answer, Christian had already said, “From the way you talk, it seems that you are very interested to be with me?”
Christian’s voice is filled with cynicism, making Nadia’s face unsightly.
But today she has come prepared and she won’t give up easily just because Christian doesn’t care about her.
“Christian, is this how you treat women?”
Hartono looked at his grandson with a displeased gaze. Wrinkles appeared on his face again. Holding Nadia’s hand, he patted the back of her hand gently as if trying to comfort the girl.
He completely trusted Nadia. As long as Nadia can be his granddaughter-in-law, Christian will definitely get rid of the woman who’s currently with him now.
Hartono was so determined that his gaze on Christian became increasingly firm. “There’s nothing wrong with Nadia thinking this way. Isn’t she much better than the women out there?”
The more he thought about this, the angrier Hartono became. He thought back to his grandson’s attitude towards the woman in the newspaper.
“That lowly woman.... Why not just cut ties with her?” Hartono continued. “In the business world, there are all kinds of ways to take down opponents. Maybe one of your rivals sent her on purpose to bring down your business...”
“Do you think I’m stupid?” Christian’s gaze remains calm.
He glanced at Nadia and noticed the worry on her face. The woman’s worried look didn’t touch him. The man then turned his gaze to the other side in boredom.
He didn’t know if Ella had lied to him or not. But he felt that Ella was far more genuine than the fake woman in front of him.
Christian didn’t feel the sincerity from Nadia at all and didn’t want to find out if she really approached him sincerely or not.
None of that matters to Christian.
Nadia felt disapproved. She is the only daughter of the Soetanto family and is always spoiled by all of her family. She is a princess who always gets everything she wants. How could she accept being treated like this?
When she returned to Indonesia this time, she thought it would be very easy for her to become Christian’s wife. Who would have thought that Ella suddenly appeared and took her place.
She had also investigated Ella’s origin yesterday.
Ella, who was once a gem in the Maheswara Family, was so cruelly thrown into a mental hospital because she was pregnant out of wedlock. Not long ago, she was released from the mental hospital, and suddenly had a special relationship with Christian.
She didn’t expect that Ella had such a good skill that she could attract Christian’s attention.
Even though she is abroad, Nadia always follows news about Christian. Therefore, Nadia also knows that Christian has not had a relationship with any woman in a long time.
However, Ella suddenly appeared, without any sign, and usurped the place that belonged to her.
There was hatred in her heart as she realized that something that should have belonged to her had been snatched away by someone else.
“Tian, ??grandpa didn’t mean it like that,” Nadia smiled gently. “I heard you fell in love with a woman. Is that true?”
Before Christian could answer, Nadia had already continued, “Grandpa and I are just curious, what attracted you to that woman?”
The expression on Nadia’s face was perfect, as if she was asking just out of curiosity.
Hartono didn’t want to talk about Ella, but when Nadia did, he chimed in. “Try to explain to me.”
Hartono is also very curious about why his grandson would accept a woman who has had a child in the past.
“Do I need to explain it to you?” Christian snorted coldly. His gaze shifted to Nadia. “And you, stop using my grandfather’s name all the time. No one has been able to tell me how to live my life.”
