Get you in my arms novel Chapter 19

Ella was happy. She couldn't help smiling. She looked at Sophia triumphantly, declaring her victory.

Sophia's face was pale. She didn't care too much about what Mrs. Xu said. She knew that she disliked her because of her poor family. She never wanted to give up. What she was afraid of was that John would give in. "Mrs. Xu, we don't live in the feudal society now. I and John love each other. And John is your son, not your puppet. You have no right to affect his love life or control his marriage."

"Who do you think you are? How dare you teach me a lesson?" As soon as she finished his words, she raised his hand and slapped across the face. Then, John ran to Sophia to protect her. The slap fell on him.

"Step away, John!" He was boiling with rage.

"Mom, John did nothing wrong. If you want to hit me, just do it."

"Why don't you listen to me?" Mrs. Xu was so angry and helpless that she had to put down her hands and said, "Okay, I won't hit her, but you must ask her to get out right now. I'm annoyed to see her!"

"I'm sorry, Sophia," said John apologetically, scratching her head. "My mom is very angry now. You'd better go back first."

"I'm leaving, John. You have to remember that there is nothing wrong with our love, and no one can separate us." She said in a firm voice, her eyes coldly flashing across the faces of Mrs. Xu and Ella, and then left.

When she went out, she seemed to be exhausted. Her legs were weak, and she fell back. A solid arm held her from behind. When she turned around, she was slightly shocked. "Lucas, why are you still here?"

"I was worried about you, so I waited outside." He smiled slightly to cover the sadness on his face. The door was open, so he heard what happened inside. He didn't expect her to be so persistent in love. It seemed that he was really going to lose hope.

"Take me out of here as soon as possible." Her eyes were full of tears. He nodded and carried her into the elevator.

The whole day, she did not speak again. She sat in the garden alone, staring at the phone, and waiting for the call from John. She was so anxious. She did not know whether he insisted or yielded. She was afraid that it would be the result. While Lucas had been standing on the balcony and staring at her. His eyes were deep and deep, with a kind of unpredictable colors wandering in his eyes for a long time.

John called him four days later, and he brought good news that a mysterious overseas investor invested two hundred million dollars in X Group. Now all problems were solved, so he didn't have to be trapped by Ella anymore.

He picked her up after work and promised to have dinner with her and watch a movie. She was overjoyed. She knew that day would come soon. This episode should be a test to them by God.

It was late at night when she came back.

Rose, the steward, had not returned to her room. She had been pacing anxiously in the hall. "I'm looking for a maid again. Ah --" she sighed as she talked to herself.

"Why do you want to hire a maid again?" Sophia was confused.

"I have to ask you. Did you do anything to make him angry?" The corners of Rose's mouth twitched.

"No, we are good. I will ask him myself." As soon as she ran upstairs, the door was pushed open without a knock.

Standing motionless in front of the window, the night wind blew in from the window. The plain window gauze waved up and down, making him seem to be just a long shadow.

"What is it?" His voice was cold. He was not happy to be broke in directly.

"Why do you want a maid? I did a good job." Somehow, she felt a little sad.

"It's you?" He turned around, with a gleam shining in his eyes.
