Sum walked up to Ella, slightly teasing Jerry in her arms. "Ella, just deal with your parents' funeral. Don't worry about the company. You can go to work at any time."
"My wife is not going to work. We'll take this time as unpaid work" said Samuel. He was greeting the guests at the front entrance. When he heard that Sum was already here, Samuel wondered where did Sum enter the house. Why didn't he see Sum coming in?
Looking at Samuel, Ella said with a little embarrassment in her voice: "Thank you, Mr. Su. I'll go back to work after this brief period of time." Samuel was about to divorce her. If they divorced, she had to work, so that she could afford to live independently. Therefore, she must not take this job lightly.
Samuel walked up to her and took Jerry from her, then looked at their son and said: "Honey, I know you feel bad. Be good. I'll raise you and our son."
People came in and out of the mourning hall, looking at the situation here with curious eyes. Are these three people the main protagonists of the latest circulating gossip?
Ella was not in the mood to bicker with or to fight against Samuel, she simply replied, "Mr. Su, we will speak soon"
"OK." Sum soon left after saying goodbye to them.
During all this time, there seemed to be a disturbance outside. The new comers were Harry, Lola, Chuck and Daisy.
Eason came in with them. Lola hugged Ella, who looked very pale, and said: "Ella, it's all going to be all right."
Daisy also walked to her and said: "Ella, don't be sad."
Their comfort made Ella's eyes turn red with tears.
Samuel took out the handkerchief in his pocket and wiped her tears: "Don't cry." Ella had been crying for all these days. He really started wandering whether this woman was made out of water.
Ella took over the handkerchief from his hand and nodded her head. Man's fate is as uncertain as the weather. These general principles are widely known, but it isn't really easy to face the reality.
The four people bowed to Richard and Jenny's portrait, and left after talking for a while.
When Melody's party left, Viola came over and was just about to leave with Jerry.
Ella was feeling bad and wanted her son to be with her: "Mother, Jerry stays with me today."
"No way!" Viola said loudly, looking at Ella in disbelief.
Samuel was talking with a guest, and after he heard Viola's voice he immediately rushed to them.
"Mother, what are you doing. There are still guests here." Samuel wrinkled his brows.
Viola knew that her son had hated this woman recently. She pointed at Ella and said: "Her parents just died, and Jerry is so young. What if he sees something unclean?"
Ella felt so angry after hearing her speaking those words that she wished she wouldn't have to speak with Viola anymore.
"Mother! Jerry can be anywhere he wants to be. Why are you being so superstitious?" Samuel reprimanded her, and dragged her out of the mourning hall.
They soon disappeared from Ella's eyesight. Looking at the tablet and the portrait of her parents, Ella felt even more confused.
Her mother-in-law didn't like her, and her husband wanted to divorce her. What should she do now...
Tears streamed down her face, and a chubby little hand covered her eyes. "Mom, Mom, yah yah yah." Jerry suddenly called her mum, which surprised her.
"Son, are you just calling me mum? Say it again." Jerry called mum before, but not as clear as he did now.
Jerry's little hand continued to wave in front of her eyes. Ella wondered if he was indeed wiping off her tears.
