It was getting darker and darker. Everything went quiet.
Jerry cried at the right moment. Ella Bo touched her weary eyes gently. She was so sleepy.
Samuel was in a good mood. He put his son onto the bed, beside his mother, then he lay on the bed, too.
Seeing his son lying between them, he started pondering.
Sometimes when one began with something, it became addictive and hard to quit. Samuel had grown accustomed to this domestic life.
From that day on, Samuel moved back to the bedroom voluntarily. His relationship with Ella Bo strengthened over time.
Their life was simple but happy.
Before long, Jerry's first-month celebration came.
A five-star hotel was already reserved.
Ella Bo wore a pinkish purple knitted sweater on top and a black dress the lower half, with her feet wearing black flats.
With long hair tangled up into a bun, she looked like a college girl instead of a mother.
At this moment, she was holding her son, who kept his eyes open, accepting various praises from different people in the hall.
"The Shao family's little boy is so lovely. See, his eyes are just like the mother. Apart from that, he is more like his father."
Ella Bo was happy to hear that her son was more like his father.
"Yes, his father and mother are of good appearance. Their son must be handsome, too."
"The father is a well-known lawyer. He must be good at coaxing girls when he grows up. Ha ha ha."
Several rich ladies made jokes about Ella. Hearing what they said, Ella smiled.
'I hope my son will be as excellent as Samuel.;
Samuel was greeting guests in the doorway. Melody headed for Ella Bo as soon as she arrived.
"Good day, grandma." Ella Bo stood up instantly, dragged a chair out of the table and offered to help her sit down.
Melody clenched Ella's hand and said, "Ella, you are holding your baby. Don't bother. I can sit down myself."
Seeing how kindly Melody treated Ella Bo, which was not her style, everybody was envious.
"Melody must like her granddaughter-in-law so much. See, she is smiling like a flower."
Melody heard that rich lady and said, "Of course, my granddaughter-in-law is so excellent. I couldn't have hoped for a better one" Melody was satisfied with Ella.
People around here laughed. Ella Bo's face was glowing with happiness.
She accidentally took a look at Samuel, who was busy entertaining guests in the doorway. Samuel felt the gaze. He turned back and their eyes met.
He blinked at Ella Bo. Ella felt shy and withdrew her eyes.
Melody witnessed this. She laughed and said to Ella Bo, "Well, Look at you two love birds."
Hearing what Melody said, everyone here followed her eyes. They saw Samuel still looking at Ella.
People all witnessed this. Before long, words about Samuel's affection towards his wife Ella's soon spread like wildfire through the upper class.
It broke the rumor that these two were not so in love due to lack of wedding.
