400 Visiting Her Mother


    E looked at Indri and Merry who were getting further away with longing eyes. Even though she hated them the most in this world, E still felt jealous of their rtionship.


    E missed her mother.


    If her mother was still alive, E was sure her rtionship with her mother would be the same as Merry and Indri. Or even much better than that.


    But sadly, it was just a dream. Her mother had died and could nevere back again.


    Christian who was standing beside E could clearly see the expression on E’s face.


    “Thinking about your mother?” Christian managed to pierce E’s heart with just one question.


    E felt a little embarrassed because Christian could tell her feelings so easily. After that, she looked at Christian with a confused face. She felt, the longer she was with Christian, the less she could hide from him.


    Even the man could see what she was thinking with just one nce.


    Christian took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it,pletely unconcerned that they’re still in the hospital.


    .....


    Just as E was about to warn him that smoking wasn’t allowed here, Christian already said in an awkward voice, “E, take me to see your mother.”


    Christian said it softly, like when Liam talked to E.


    For some reason, when Liam called E’s name, there was a special tenderness that Liam didn’t give to other people.


    Christian also wanted to do the same.


    E was surprised to hear the soft tone of Christian’s mouth as he called out to her. But what surprised her even more was that the man wanted to meet her mother.


    “Are you serious?”


    “Do you think I’m joking?” The man asked back and focused his attention on E’s face.


    E was silent for a moment, finding it difficult to breathe. She blinked repeatedly and unconsciously, tears rolled down her cheeks.


    She sobbed as she raised her hand to wipe the tears away. “I don’t know what’s been going ontely, but I cry so easily. Christian, do I look ugly?” Sheined.


    “You were ugly from the start. You haven’t changed,” Christian smiled. He put his arm around E’s shoulder and asked her to get out of there.


    E couldn’t believe what Christian said. No matter what Christian said, E was sure that she was beautiful. She was very confident in her appearance.


    “Christian, you better exin to me. How am I ugly?” E asked with a frown.


    “Let me take a closer look,” Christian stopped walking and lifted E’s chin, watching E’s face for a long time. “Perhaps in the eyes of others, there are many bad things that tarnish you. But in my opinion, you are perfect.”


    Christian felt that E was the perfect woman.


    Of course she is. E is his woman.


    She must be perfect.


    Plus, Christian didn’t really care what people thought of E. To him, their opinions would not affect him.


    Now orter, he would always think E was perfect.


    E nodded repeatedly. She looked up and said, “Christian, although you are selfish, cold, arrogant, evil and cruel in the eyes of others, in my opinion, you are also the perfect man.”


    Christian frowned.


    Is this woman insulting him or praising him? Why did her insults outweigh her praise?


    Plus, E mentioned all of his ws tantly, making absolutely no attempt to cover it up.


    And again, since when did he have all that ugliness? Why didn’t he notice it?


    Arrogant and selfish? What about all the money he donated to the orphanage?


    Seeing Christian start to think about her words, E hurriedly took his big hand and said, “Let’s go. You said you wanted to meet my mother, right?”


    …


    They went to the grave where E’s mother rested.


    The ce was quiet and serene. Budi bought thend as his wife’s final resting ce not because it was a special and quiet ce so he could visit her any time. But because the ce was quite far from the city center and the price was rtively cheap.


    Budi was not willing to spend a lot of money on his dead wife. A dead woman had no meaning and value to him.


    But E didn’t mind even though the ce was a little far away. E thought the ce was nice and not crowded so the surrounding was always clean.


    The photo on her mother’s grave had faded, but her face could still be seen dimly. E knew that her mother was very beautiful, especially at her prime.


    All the beauty that E had right now came from her mother, even though the aura they gave off was different. Everyone could feel the gentle and motherly aura of E’s mother. Meanwhile, E looked more like a rose blooming beautifully. Bold and glittery, with the thorns surrounding her, making anyone bleed to the touch.


    In appearance, E got her looks from her mother. Meanwhile, E got her stubborn nature from her father.


    The wind blew against the two people standing in front of the tomb. The leaves that fell on the ground began to fly along with the dust that littered the path. They stood in silence looking at the tombstone in front of them, as if afraid that a single sound would disturb the peace in the ce.


    Christian turned to look at E’s condition and found that the look in E’s eyes was dreamy, showing that her mind had wandered from her body.


    E looked at the photo with a longing gaze, as if she was remembering everything that happened in the past. Her lips trembled slightly at that.


    After that, E tried to contain her feelings and said to the photo of her mother, as if she wanted to speak directly to her. “Mother, this is my fiancé, Christian Adipamungkas. Don’t worry about me. I live happily now,” E said in a trembling voice. “Christian has been very good to me. Every day he kept asking me to marry him. I… I am very happy.”


    Unfortunately, E will never get an answer from her mother. She will never see her mother smiling at her when her daughter showed her the man she loved.


    Christian smiled at that. His heart seemed to flutter when he heard what E said. He took E’s hand and said, “Mom, I will take good care of Isabe.”


    Tears welled up in E’s eyes again.


    “Christian, why are you so annoying?” She said annoyed. Why did Christian have to say something heartwarming when E’s feelings were unstable like this?


    “Why? You don’t like it?” Christian asked.


    “No!” E replied irritably. Because of Christian, her tears were flowing more profusely now. She had a hard time stopping herself from crying.


    Christian could see E pouting and sulking like a child. Instead of being annoyed, Christian even felt exasperated when he saw it.


    He really wanted this woman.


    He wanted to spend the rest of his life with this woman.
