Chapter 263



The woman’s gaze was fixed on a man’s face.

However, Ella only said in a low voice, “I don’t know him.”

That weak voice made Luca take a deep breath. “Youngsters,” he said, shaking his head, indicating that he did not understand youth love.

Luca’s attitude reminds Ella of the butler at Christian’s house. Ella shook her head, trying to get rid of unimportant thoughts and looked at Luca with a smile. “Why do you look like an old man? You’re still in your 30s right?”

“Little girl, I am already 36 years old.” Luca looked at Ella helplessly.

“36?” Ella was really surprised.

Luca didn’t look like a 36 year old man at all. Ella guessed that he was in his early 30s.

Luca was used to Ella’s kind of reaction and said, “A lot of people think I’m very young. But think again. If I’m 30, how can I open a studio like this?”

.....

Ella nodded, finding Luca’s explanation very reasonable.

All this time, Luca had only depended on his own efforts. If he had an outstanding supporter or family background, he would have become a famous painter at a young age, not setting up a small studio like this.

“But you look so young!” Ella said.

“I’ve been married once,” Luca suddenly said. As he said that, his voice sounded much lower.

Ella was shocked when she heard the information. As Ella was thinking whether she should ask or not, Luca had already continued his story, “My wife was a very gentle woman. She really loved cleanliness. She liked to clean and cook so I didn’t have to worry about the house.”

Luca seemed to be lost in his feelings. His eyes looked a little confused, not knowing which way to look.

“At that time, our life was very difficult. I couldn’t make much money from my paintings so she had to work in a factory. Not long after, she became pregnant.”

While telling that part, Luca’s lips curved into a smile. Ella could feel what Luca was feeling at that moment. Luca must be very happy.

There is nothing happier than knowing that his little family is about to grow. The woman he loves is pregnant with their child.

“I don’t want my wife to suffer, but she said she had to work hard for our child. At 7 months pregnant, she was still doing heavy work so our child was born prematurely...”

Luca paused for a moment. From the man’s story, Ella could already guess that the ending of this story didn’t have a happy ending.

His wife and child left him that day. Forever.

Luca took a deep breath and said, “The doctor who treated my wife is a famous doctor. He was afraid this matter would affect his reputation so he gave me a lot of money. The hospital that treated my wife did the same. That day, I lost my wife and my baby, the two most precious people in my life. But that very day, the two of them made this poor man rich.”

From start to finish, Ella didn’t say anything.

Almost everyone had a past that they didn’t want to remember. What Luca told today was a story buried in his heart. One that he buried very deep.

After that, Luca continued his story. “I want to use the money to make myself a famous painter. The idea had me doubting it for three whole years. But in the end, I remembered that my wife hoped that one day, we would have a studio of our own. That’s why I bought this studio and accepted paintings from anonymous painters to help them.”

In the past, Luca was a man who only cared about himself. However, as time went on, he became more and more mature.

Opening a studio was his dream together with his wife and Luca had achieved it all, even though his wife was no longer by his side.

“You are fine now.”

Opening a studio like this has also been Ella’s dream since long ago. Unfortunately, Ella is too childish and too immersed in her world that she forgets what her dream is.

When faced with someone like Luca, Ella thought back to her dream. She was amazed at Luca who managed to go through all of that.

“I thought you would pity me.” Luca looked helpless. He didn’t understand why this woman in front of him had a different response from most people.

No wonder the Maheswara Family was confused when dealing with Ella.

Luca always follows the latest news so he also reads news about the marriage between Haikal and Indri.

Luca was sure that Ella’s parents would have a hard time managing their eldest child.

“I feel my life is much worse than yours. You should be the one taking pity on me.” Ella put down the newspaper she was carrying. “There’s no need to think about unimportant matters. It’s better to pay attention to the sales problem.”

“Little girl, do you think she hates me?” Luca couldn’t help but ask.

It was an incurable disease that he had suffered from for many years. His heart was filled with guilt and that guilt kept eating away at him.

“No,” Ella answered confidently. “Didn’t she love you? If she loved you, everything you do would always be right in her eyes.”

Because love can change everything. Love can tolerate everything.

“Is that true?” Maybe because he got the answer he wanted, Luca looked a little more excited.

“Yeah,” Ella nodded her head confidently.

She is also a woman. If she positioned herself as Luca’s wife, she wouldn’t want the man she loved to live in misery forever.

She’d want to see Luca live a happy and affluent life so she could rest in peace.

After the conversation was over, they went back into the studio and started painting. Even though Ella looked fine, the painting couldn’t lie to her.

Ella usually liked bright colors, but for some reason, she put a slightly gloomy color in her painting today.

Unknowingly, her mood that day worsened because of the news she read.

If only she and Christian were lovers, he would definitely think Christian’s attitude today was a childish gesture to attract her attention. Christian tried to make her jealous and make her return home.

They would fight and make up.

It was a natural thing for an ordinary couple.

Because of a small problem, they will fight and then make up. And it will happen again and again.

But sadly, Ella and Christian are not a couple.
