Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 570

"Hello..." He picked up the phone eventually, with an inkling of what the phone call was about.

"Samuel, don't you think she needs to apologize to us?" Emma's voice was soft, contrary to her bossy nature. This made Samuel wonder if it was the same Emma he was used to.

"I'm busy today. Maybe we should talk about this some other time." He answered perfunctorily, showing no intention to further delve into the topic.

"Samuel!" Emma responded, her voice dripping with anxiety," Listen to me. If Ella apologizes to us, then I will let it go."

Emma's compromise left nothing for Samuel to say. "Fine. We will come meet you, where are you right now?"

Then the call ended soon after.

He glanced at Ella and took a deep breathe. Then, he turned the car around and followed the directions that Emma had given him.

Ella sat confused, wondering why Samuel had turned the car around. "Where are we going?" She asked quizzically. They sat there in silence for a while. Ella couldn't help but wonder what had changed. Who was on the phone? Why is he quiet? She thought to herself.

Just before she could bring up the same question, Samuel responded "We're gonna see two people."

Ella wanted to ask who these two people were, but she knew from the tone of his voice that he didn't want any more questions. They continued to sit in silence as they inched closer to their destination.

20 minutes later, at the Dominator Coffee Shop.

Samuel led Ella, who was straddling baby Jerry on her hip, to a room on the second floor.

Pushing the door open, Ella frowned when she saw Emma and Catherine, inside.

So this is who we were going to meet? She thought, as she looked at Samuel and shot him a menacing look.

Samuel ignored the expression on her face and pulled out a chair for her to sit on. Ella received the gesture and sat on it, placing Jerry on her lap.

Emma and Catherine's faces were still visibly scarred, which consequently vented Ella.

An awkward silence fell on the room, and the tension between the four individuals grew as they waited for their coffee to arrive.

As Ella was amusing her son leisurely, Samuel spoke with a low voice," Ella, apologize to Emma and Catherine."

Immediately, Ella's eyes shot up in astonishment. She couldn't believe that he would ask her to apologize to them after all that had happened. Her heart broke, but she didn't want them seeing her breakdown. So she feigned annoyance, to keep her mind away from crying.

She diverted her eyes to the two sisters, who were eagerly waiting to hear her response. But in return, all they saw was Ella grinning. Then she spoke," So you two ladies want him that badly? Well, he's yours. I want nothing to do with him. You're welcome!" Then Ella stood up, kicked the chair out of her way, opened the door and walked out with her son snuggled closely in her arms.

Samuel had predicted that she would be resistant," Ella." She could clearly hear his low booming voice, even though she was half-way out the door.

Trying to push back the tears, Ella, turned and smiled," Samuel, from today, I will no longer love you and I want a divorce. You have betrayed me and our love. I can't take this."

Her words cut deep like a butcher's knife.

Samuel could feel his world shutter into pieces, as the words played over and over again in his head in a loop.

"Ella, please." His voice pleaded.

But Ella had made up her mind. She turned and walked downstairs without even looking back.

By the time, Samuel had gathered enough momentum, and raced out of the coffee shop, Ella had already gone. He watched as the taxi she was in disappeared into traffic.

That night, Ella didn't return to the old house.

Samuel paced back and forth, a little anxious.

He even checked every hotel, using all his resources, yet no one had booked a room under the name of Ella.

By the time he returned to the old house, it was already 9 pm. He found Melody in the living room

"Grandma, do you know where she is?" Samuel asked, noticing how calm she was, when her beloved Ella and her great-grandson didn't return home.

She took a glance at his grandson, who looked a little tired, and said," You don't have to search for them, I know where they are."

"Where are they? Tell me!" Samuel responded, his voice dripping with angst.

"They will come back in a couple of days. So you don't have to worry about them." Melody knew where they were, but she intended not to tell him.
