Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 18

Samuel had better be nicer to Ella, or I will grab every chance to win her over.' thought Sum.

Dinner somehow ended in a pleasant way. After bidding Sum goodbye, Ella naturally got into Samuel's Porsche.

"Ella, keep in touch. I am not leaving this time. If you need any help, please let me know!" Sum looked at the woman who was sitting on the car seat and hinted something in his words.

"Thump!" Samuel slammed the car door shut and cut off the gaze between the two.

He scornfully glanced at Sum and thought: 'Am I invisible? How dare he say that in front of me?'

"Even if my wife needs help with something, she can always turn to her husband, me! We don't need to bother Mr. Su." Samuel said to Sum. Samuel thought to himself: 'Isn't Ella blind? This guy apparently has intentions for her. But she is just too ignorant to see it herself! Why on earth did she still have dinner with him?'

Sum lost all his smile. He did not even try to hide his scorn and said to Samuel, "You sneak around behind her back with other women. How can you make her happy?" Sum thought to himself that Ella was out of Samuel's league!

Samuel knew it very well that he was referring to Emma. His clenched his fists out of anger.

"Be a man. If you cannot bring her happiness, you should just let go, instead of trapping both of you in agony." Sum's gaze lingered at the car window. He swore to himself that if Ella was not happy with Samuel, then he would not let her go.

"Mr. Su, you think too much. My wife and I are both very happy!" With these words, Samuel sat into the car decisively and roared away.

Sum stood there and watched the Porsche disappear into the distance. He really regretted that he was away from C Country all these years.

Ella looked at Samuel and noticed the anger on his face. She did not dare to say anything. She wondered what were they talking about just now? She started to nurse Jerry to sleep with a soft lullaby.

When they arrived at the apartment, Samuel left the car. Unlike his usual behavior, this time he slammed the door shut and walked directly into the building.

Ella was very confused. She sat in the car for a moment and and walked out of the car with Jerry in her arms.

Inside the apartment.

Actually, Ella really wanted to ask Samuel what was going on? But the door of his room was closed tightly; she could only return to her room with the baby.

After she put down the baby, Ella walked into the bathroom. She hadn't enjoyed a good bath for a month as she had given birth. Today she should definitely have a good bath.

She ran a hot bath and walked out of the bathroom to check the baby. She lifted Jerry up from the bed and put him into the cot in case he hurt himself.

Therefore, even if he woke up somehow while she was in the bath, he still would not fall.

She walked into the bathroom at ease. As her wound was not fully recovered, she dared not bath too long. After 20 minutes, she stepped out of the bathtub and stood underneath the shower to wash her hair.

The shower was loud enough to cover Jerry's crying sound. Ella was not aware of the situation.

Samuel had just had a quick shower and the crying sound next door made him concerned. He frowned his eyebrows and walked over to check.

He politely knocked on the bedroom door but got no answer. He pushed the door open and walked in.

The baby was crying and kicking in the cot. But Ella was nowhere to be found! Then he heard the running water from the bathroom and realized that she must be showering.

Samuel walked towards the cot in a hurry and lifted up the baby. He tried to comfort Jerry, but it was in vain.

When he was at a loss, Ella walked out of the bathroom in her pajamas.

"What took you so long? The baby has been crying!" Samuel had already lost his patience.

Ella felt a little bit sad on hearing his accusation. She said nothing but quickly wrapped her wet hair in a towel. Then she took her son from Samuel's hands.

Samuel looked at Ella and noticed her unhappiness. He felt that he was too mean just now. Ella put her son on the bed and brought over a new diaper.

Jerry had pooped just now. That was why he was crying. Ella skilfully wiped Jerry's little butt clean and changed a new diaper for him.

She then patted him for a while. Not long after, Jerry fell back asleep.

Samuel stood there and watched her. Her long hair was still wet but she managed to do all these things well. This made Samuel reflect on his own behaviors. "She was such a nice woman. Why am I treating her like that?"

He took over the baby and said to her, "Go and dry your hair."

"No need. He is already asleep. You should go to sleep as well." She refused him and put Jerry on the bed.
