Getting Closer

"Miss, did something happen?" The butler asked when he saw the tense atmosphere between Ella and Christian.

"That… It's hard to explain."

The butler looked at Ella again, but decided not to ask any further. After all, he was too old and he could not interfere in their affairs.

Nathan finally understood the situation and tugged at Ella's sleeve. "Old woman, what did you say to dad that he got so angry?" He asked innocently.

Ella could only stroke the boy's head. Every time she moved, she could feel the cold diamond on her neck.

She should be happy to receive such a beautiful gift. But sadly, this necklace felt like a bomb to her instead. She just needed to wait until the bomb suddenly exploded and destroyed her.

Unknowingly, her hand touched the necklace around her neck. She stroked the pendant and the necklace was visible from under her shirt.
