Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 15

Samuel looked Ella and saw her sad expression. Somehow his face did not hurt that much anymore.

Eason also looked at Ella's sad face and thought to himself: 'If only I did not need to attend the pressing of International Garments in Milan, I would come back sooner!'

'If my buddy dares to be mean to my sister, I will not let him get away with it!'

Eason gave Samuel a stern look and picked up his nephew who was kicking his tiny legs in the pram.

His mood was better as he looked at the adorable Jerry. Eason turned to Ella and asked: "Ella, what is his name?"

Ella was still not pleasant with what had happened. She gazed at her big brother and said:, "Jerry Shao."

Samuel heard what she said and raised his eyebrows. He noticed that Ella had completely different tones when addressing to her brother and himself.

She was always gentle and soft when talking to himself. But when she talked to Eason, she sounded crisp and playful.

Eason seemed very used to Ella's tone. He looked happily at his nephew. Normally he should be very happy about the fact that his sister was with his best friend, but why she was with Samuel whose heart was occupied?

Maybe all these were fate!

Eason looked at Samuel who was sitting on the sofa in silence and said: "Why don't you two join me in dinner? I am literally starving to death!" Eason's voice sounded weary.

"We are not going.?Look what you have done to him. How can he still eat dinner?" Ella gave her brother who had now calmed down another stern look and walked into her room. Right before she closed the door, she said:"Wait for me, I am going to get changed."

She and her brother argued sometimes but she did understand that Eason meant well. So it did not matter who gave in first.

Eason looked at the closed door and turned around with Jerry in his arms. He looked at Samuel seriously and said: "Samuel, I know you have been with Ella for a long time, but you actually don't know much about her. You might think that she is weak and soft but that's only because she likes you very much. If she was with someone she dislikes, she would not even cast a glance in their direction."

Then Eason looked at Jerry and continued: "She can be quite timid sometimes, but she does have a stubborn temper. She grew up with parents' and a brother's love and care. With that kind of environment, of course she is a little bit spoiled and ill tempered. But the way she treats you, I see nothing but carefulness and respect."

On hearing these words, Samuel already knew what Eason wanted to tell him. It was quite clear that Eason wanted to tell him that Ella liked him and he must cherish her.

"You two already have a child together. If you can treat Ella decently from now on, we can still be good buddies. I do not want to be friends with a scumbag!"

Samuel scornfully glanced at Eason and said, "You sound like as if you were not a scumbag yourself!" Samuel thought to himself, "The rate this guy changes his girlfriends is faster than me changing my clothes."

Eason proudly shook his head and replied, "I am charming and most importantly, I am single without a wife!"

"I can be with whoever I want."

"Sure, just don't complain when you get an STD." Samuel commented in a cool voice and took Jerry out of Eason's clutches. "Don't contaminate my son with your dirty face."

... Eason had no idea since when Samuel had become so annoying that he had to restrain himself from slapping him!

The door was opened again. Ella showed up with a loose light yellow blouse and jeans. She had a pair of flat shoes on her feet. In her hands, was a big mother bag full of diapers, a water bottle, wet tissues, etc. She had packed everything.

Now that she had a small baby, she could no longer wear dresses and high heels!

She looked at the two men in the living room who were gazing her in silence and then took her son from Samuel and said, "Let's go."

Ella's face was lit up with joy and she seemed quite happy. This made Eason relatively relieved.

The three walked out of the apartment. In the elevator, Samuel took the chubby baby and the big bag from Ella's hands.
