Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 144

Samuel didn't care about that until he discovered grandma's video call history log with someone called Yi. He could tell that Yi was very likely to be Ella. Not only grandma, but Jerry had been in touch with Ella too.

What's more, Ella must have been instructing Jerry to hide their contact from him.

'Ella Bo, what a sophisticated woman you are!

How do you still win Jerry's affection after disappearing for four years?' Samuel thought to himself.

After the smoke in the room dissipated, he stood up to close the window and went to the bathroom.

Jerry had already fallen asleep when he stepped out of the bathroom.

He turned off the bed lamp, laid beside Jerry and held him close.

Fondling Jerry's chubby body, Samuel couldn't help displaying a grin.

Jerry wriggled to find a comfortable position in Samuel' arms and muttered in his sleep, "Mom...Jane..."

Hearing Jerry muttering about Ella, Samuel was immersed in dejection, so much so that he neglected Jerry's mentioning of the name "Jane".

Samuel and Jerry had moved out of the Royal Mansion since Ella left.

Thus in the last few years, most of Jerry's time was spent staying in the old house with his great-grandma, taking part in banquets with Samuel or roaming in Samuel's company to kill time.

It was the first time that Samuel had stepped into the mansion in four years.

But he didn't have the chance to get upstairs.

Samuel was convinced of the old saying that a strict father cultivates an outstanding son, But he had been a loving father trying his best to meet all Jerry's requests over the years.

He found Jerry was smart but also a little precocious.

Samuel thought living without a mother's care was the reason for Jerry's precocity at first.

He thought Jerry might have been subconsciously pushing himself to become strong.

But he denied this assumption soon after he knew Jerry had been in touch with Ella.

The clock on the wall was making the tick-tocking sound, preventing Samuel from falling asleep.

He loosened Jerry, grabbed his mobile phone on the night stand and unlocked it as he walked towards the study room. Samuel couldn't help opening Wechat and inputting Ella's new phone number into the search box. The result was the user named Yi, as expected.

He sent a friend request to Yi with text saying, "Your son misses you!"

'The only one she cares in this family now is Jerry. For her, I am nothing but a jerk who forced her to have an abortion four years ago.' Samuel was lost in thought.

Unexpectedly, his request was accepted by Ella. He thought Ella had already fallen asleep.

But neither of them sent greetings to one another.

Samuel browsed Ella's Wechat album. Most of the photos were about herself shooting films and taking part in activities.

But there were also several photos of a little girl with either her back or side, facing the camera.

'Who is this little girl? Is she her daughter? Did she give birth to a daughter for another man?'

At this thought, Samuel was furious. He returned back to the chat page and sent a message to Ella, "Are you hooking up with another man?"

Samuel stared at the screen, waiting for Ella's reply, anxiously. 'If she dares to reply with a yes, I will kill that man!' He clenched his teeth and thought.

Seeing Samuel's question, Ella, who was lulling Jane to sleep in the bed, was confused. She was baffled about why Samuel asked that question.

Thinking of Catherine, Ella replied, yes. 'There are rumours circulating on the internet about me and many handsome male entertainers so this answer will be convincing to Samuel.' Ella thought with a bitter smile.

In her opinion, even if she gave Samuel a negative answer, Samuel would still be suspicious of her.

Later on, when Ella was about to fall asleep, her mobile phone on the night table rang, indicating a new Wechat message.
