Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 218

Jane was curious when Ella kept hanging up the phone. She asked, "Mom, why aren't you answering your phone?" Ella looked at her, noticing that she had similar eyes to her father.

"No. Let's get to sleep."

Ella edited a quick message and sent it before she went to bed with her daughter.

Samuel, in his car, was in a confused state when he read her message.

'Mr. Shao, I'm no longer a little girl who can easily be fooled."

He was helpless because Ella refused to answer any of his calls, unable to find out why she was angry. He called home, but was told that Ella hadn't arrived yet.

Then he called Eden, only to be told that Ella left as soon as she finished working at around seven.

Where could she have gone?

An idea crossed his mind and he called Eason.

Eason was trying to cheer Anna up because she had been depressed lately because of Judith.

"Honey, don't be sad. It's no good for the baby."

Judith's appearance had resurfaced some feelings that Anna had wanted to keep hidden.

"Okay." She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to push away the thoughts from her mind.

When Eason's phone rang, Anna didn't open her eyes, but listened quietly when he answered it.

"Oh, hi, what a surprise!"

Eason's tone was playful, recalling Samuel's and Ella's passionate embraces that had caused an internet frenzy.

"Eason, is she there?" Eager to know the answer, Samuel asked politely.

In fact, he didn't want to be that polite because Eason was a show off.

"Wow, pigs do fly? Listen to how polite you are being. It's quite unusual!" Eason teased him dramatically.

Eason didn't stop making fun of him until Anna patted him on the shoulder.

"Samuel, what's the problem now?" He felt something was wrong with Ella when he saw her earlier, but didn't want to pry.

It stumped Samuel too. He also wondered what he had done to make her angry.

"I'm not too sure. That's why I want to ask her." Judging from the way Eason was speaking, Samuel concluded that Ella was at his house. Samuel continued, "Open the door for me in twenty minutes." He hang up the phone then.

Eason put on his slippers hurriedly, ran to the room Ella was in and knocked at the door.

Jane had just fallen asleep but Ella was wide awake. When she heard the knocking at the door, she got off the bed and went to answer it.

"Ella, Samuel is on his way. But Jane..."

The news startled Ella. Out of reflex, she said, "I'm leaving right now." At that moment, Ella realised that she wasn't mentally prepared enough to have Jane and Samuel meet each other.

She was about to walk back in the room and change, when Eason pulled at her sleeve cuff, "What's wrong with you two?"

He didn't want to see the two of them break up again.
