Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 106

"You can be with either Emma or Catherine, whichever you like. And you can have another dozen children with them as long as you want. If you can leave Jerry's custody to me, I promise you I won't find him a stepfather..."

"Look, Samuel. It was all my fault back then and I do apologize. I know I was wrong, and I shouldn't have forced you. Can you let go... of me and Jerry..."

It seemed to Samuel that all Ella cared about was Jerry. Everything she said and did was for Jerry rather than for him.

"Don't you know I'm really upset?" He interrupted her begging coldly.

Ella was speechless.

All she said just now meant nothing! Ella shot back angrily, "Upset? Then why do you bother calling me, Mr. Shao?" They actually hadn't seen each other for quite a long while. Ella couldn't help wondering if he ever missed her during these days...

But soon she found the idea too silly. She must be too full of herself to think he would ever miss her.

"I'm upset because my wife was such a wayward and unpredictable woman." Certainly, it was not easy to be Ella's husband.

What did she mean by saying "Don't involve her"? And the "Old lady"? If she were an old lady, then there wouldn't exist such a creature as a young and beautiful lady in the world.

Ella rolled over on the bed to check Jerry. Staring at her son tenderly, Ella lowered her voice and said, "Mr. Shao, is it fun to go back and forth like this?"

Samuel raised his eyebrows and gave her an answer laced with double meaning, "Absolutely. I'll show you what going back and forth is like personally when you come back."

What the heck? To show her personally?

Why those four words sounded really inviting from his mouth?

Going back and forth... "Samuel, you're such a jerk!" Ella's face turned red suddenly out of embarrassment.

She never meant in that way!

"What's going on here?" Samuel seemed to be totally confused about her sudden accusation.

"I... You..." Ella faltered for a while and then dropped the topic and moved on, "Goodbye!"

Nevertheless, Samuel commented on her reply later and said, "You are the most beautiful woman in the whole world." But only Samuel knew the real meaning of the comment.

By saying she was beautiful, he actually meant on that very special intimate moment.

Though things didn't work out as she wanted, Ella did feel much better after talking to Samuel.

And it was not until she went to bed that night when Ella finally saw Samuel's latest reply on her post.

Then she quickly scanned through the comments below. Most of them were talking about how sweet Mr. Shao and Mrs. Shao were.

Instead of cheerful, Ella felt rather sad about the situation.

Samuel had been creating the impression that their marriage was just as happy as it seemed. However, only the two of them knew the truth of their marriage.

Was it likely that a happy couple would talk about divorce every now and then?

And did he just compliment her as beautiful? Ella managed a bitter smile. As far as she was concerned, Samuel must have been really concerned about how their marriage looked in the public to say these words. Despite the fact that they had been married for so long, Samuel had never said any sweet word to her...

And Ella knew he probably would say those words only to Emma.

And she thought of how nice he was to her lately. Ella persuaded herself that maybe it was because she happened to be his wife rather than he was into her or something.

Anyway, it had nothing to do with Ella at all. And she believed that he would perform his duty and play his role as a nice husband to whohever happened to be his wife.

Everything made sense in that way.
