Give Me an Excuse

"It seems… We're not close enough that we keep misunderstanding each other. What if we get closer?"

Before Ella could understand the meaning behind Christian's words, the man had stopped in front of her and hugged her.

Her feet were off the ground and the only strong arms supporting her were Christian's. Her hands immediately went up to circle Christian's neck.

When she realized that Nathan was still in the same room as her, Ella whispered, "Put me down, your son is still here."

"He won't mind."

Before Ella could protest again, Nathan's excited voice was heard. "Father, you must teach this old woman a lesson so that she realizes her mistake!" The fat boy said as he approached his father.

Right now, his still short body only reached his father's thighs.

"I'll go first."

Ella raised her eyebrows in astonishment. This fat boy used to hate it when she's around Christian. But now he didn't mind at all.
