Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 20

Nevertheless, Samuel married another woman. If only she could get a chance, she would definitely not let go of Samuel or just watch him be happy!

The dinner held for the one-month-old Jerry was rounded off. They went back to the old house.

Due to granny's request that night, Jerry would stay in the villa for a couple of days.

On one hand, Melody really liked her great-grandson. On the other hand, she hoped that Samuel and Ella could spend time alone together.

Ella handed over her son in hesitation to Melody. It was true that the nanny was here to help and her parents-in-law were not quite occupied these days. All of them could offer help if needed.

Ella sat in the empty room, waiting for Samuel to come back. He was on the errand of sending some baby necessities to the villa.

After Jerry left, she felt quite relieved from all the burdens. But somehow, she also seemed to have lost something.

When Samuel came back, Ella was dozing off. When she heard his footsteps, Ella sprang up from the bed.

She quickly ran over, held up his wrist and asked impatiently: "Was Jerry crying? Was he naughty? Did he drink the powdered milk? Did he miss me or not?"

Samuel laughed and took the impatient Ella into his arms, "Our son was behaving well. He was not naughty and I would assume that he was not missing you that much." He was teasing her on purpose.

Ella fell for the trick and curled up her lips. She uttered: "This little monkey, I don't like him anymore." Of course she did not mean any of that!

Samuel looked at the discouraged Ella and whispered in her ears, "You don't need to love him. I love him. So all you need to do is to love me."

... Her face went red. Ella lowered her head and buried it into Samuel's chest.

Sam was just so annoying sometimes!

Samuel felt amused when he caught her being embarrassed. He said: "Wait for me, I am just gonna have a quick shower."

He was definitely hinting at something in his words. Ella quickly ran back to the bed and pulled the sheet over her head. She was all embarrassed now.

She could feel that Sam's heart was gradually warming to her these days.

He was more caring when with her. This kind of happiness made her intoxicated.

With that happy thought, she fell asleep soon.

When Samuel stepped out of the bathroom, he found a snoring little woman on the bed.

He dried his hair and embraced her in his arms. He tried every means to wake her up.

"Jerry, stop it. I need to sleep a little bit more." Ella softly murmured and fell back to sound sleep while holding Samuel's hand.

Samuel was amused as he realized that she had mistaken him for their son.

He turned off the light and was ready to fix her.

Soon Ella woke up from her deep sleep. In the dark night, she saw Samuel's eager eyes and smiled in silence.

Just as Ella thought she could be happy with Samuel forever, Emma turned up and turned her happy days into a nightmare.

When Jerry was about four months old, Ella decided to go out to work.

Samuel respected her decision and advised her to work in his own law firm.
