Hearing Felix's poor Chinese, Ella, who picked up food for Samuel, put down the chopsticks immediately and answered politely, "Thank you, Felix. Emma is also a rare beautiful lady of note."
Ella said that sincerely, because Emma was indeed very beautiful. How lucky Samuel was to have such a beautiful ex-girlfriend.
Ella heard that Emma's parents divorced, and her father got remarried after he became a nouveau riche. Her mother always went to places like casinos and nightclubs, so it was indeed ironic to say that she was a lady of note.
Ella admitted that she was not generous, so she didn't object to being called narrow-minded.
Emma liked her husband, so Ella couldn't ignore Emma.
As Ella mentioned Emma suddenly, Samuel, who knew Emma well, stopped. He pinched Ella's hand under the table gently. How naughty Ella was.
He said nothing. Ella didn't know what he thought. However, Ella misunderstood Samuel's gesture and instead thought that Samuel was blaming her and defending Emma.
She felt sad, but she was more determined. Emma had made the first strike by coming over here, so she wouldn't sit and watch.
She married Samuel with great difficulty. She wouldn't let go of him no matter what difficulties she encountered later.
Emma surely knew Ella was mocking her. She stopped smiling. Her family was a taboo subject, so she was infuriated by Ella's deliberate mentioning of her family.
Before she said something, Catherine spoke first.
She wanted to scratch Ella's proud face, "Ella, didn't Samuel teach you manners?"
Samuel frowned. How could she judge his wife?
Ella, feeling embarrassed, tried to respond, but Samuel said coldly first, "Catherine, it's dinner time. If you feel bad, you can leave." The loses of Catherine as his lawyer as well as the case brought in by Emma were acceptable to Samuel.
However, Ella was his wife, so he had to tolerate her willfulness and temper.
He could understand Ella. If Emma hadn't talked to him and asked him out in his firm today, Ella wouldn't have said something so provoking.
If Sum were to ask Ella out, he would be pettier than Ella.
Besides, the other reason why Ella did that was because she loved him.
Samuel knew all this, so he held her hand more tightly. Then he picked up food and put it in her dish as if nothing had happened.
Obviously, Samuel was being partial to Ella. Catherine and Emma were embarrassed.
It pained Emma to see that Samuel, instead of blaming Ella, still picked up food for her.
Ella looked at the food in her dish and was moved to tears. How nice Samuel was. He was defending her and wasn't coy about his affection towards her at all…
Samuel's rather cold reply made the atmosphere a bit embarrassing for both of them.
Anna looked at this scene silently. After everyone went quiet, she wore a professional smile and looked at Felix. She spoke in fluent English, "Do you like the Chinese food tonight? Are you used to it?"
Felix liked beautiful women, and liked making contact with beautiful women more. He had won the hearts of nearly all the beautiful women around him, including Emma...
