Samuel shrugged in defeat. Ella thought that they had been divorced four years ago, So she had the right to find love and had the freedom to be with that man.
He felt it was his fault. Because of his behavior, he had pushed Ella to the arms of another man.
Samuel felt so heartbroken that he couldn't even breath. 'Samuel, what have you done?
Stupid! You are really fucking stupid!'
"Cra--ack!" Samuel threw his ashtray towards the glass table, causing them both to break. This sound frightened his assistants and secretaries, who were situated outside his office.
They pushed and shoved, but no one dared to go in to see what had happened.
"Wasn't Mr. Shao in a good mood recently?"
"Yeah. Did you see the hickey on his neck today, and the scar on his lips the other day? Those were marks of passion. How could he be angry?"
"You dare to laugh? How about you go and see what happened?" Molly hesitated whether to go in or not. If something had happened, she needed to tell Ella immediately.
The secretary drew back in terror and pushed Molly forward.
Molly looked at them helplessly. Then she knocked on the door.
"Come in." The deep voice summoned Molly to walk in.
When she walked in, she saw the glass table that stood in the middle of the office smashed into pieces, together with his favorite ashtray.
Turning to face Samuel, Molly observed that he was leaning on his chair with his eyes closed.
"Mr. Shao." She called out.
Even though Molly called out to him, Samuel still kept his eyes closed, "Speak."
"Are you okay?" She asked with great courage. If only Ella was there, it would have been easy. Although she had been working for Samuel for so long, his temper was so bad that she was afraid to approach him.
A silence fell between them. Molly had thought that he would not answer when he suddenly said, "I have controlled her too much."
Even if he knew that Ella had had a child with someone else, he knew he had no right to be angry.
Of course, Molly knew who he was referring to.
She had only heard a little about them, so she didn't know how to reply.
"If you feel guilty about Ella, you should make it up to her. What a woman wants most is a man to pamper her with no reason."
Molly didn't know whether she was right to say what she said.
'What a woman wants most is a man to pamper her with no reason.'
Samuel knew that he could follow that advice. But how would he stop being guilty? Can he make Ella forgive him?
"She..."
Finally, thousands of words turned into two words, "Forget it."
From now on, he decided that he would not mention anything about her past anymore, and that he needed to work towards living a happy and healthy marriage.
After blowing off steam, though he still felt angry when he thought of the child, he decided to turn a blind eye, As long as Ella no longer contacted the father. And he wanted to know who the father was. If he hadn't treated Ella well, Samuel was going to deal with him thoroughly.
Samuel's anger dissipated visibly, making Molly feel relieved.
She was considering how to tell Ella what was going on when Samuel commanded, "Don't tell her anything, understood?"
"Okay." She nodded and walked out of the office to call a cleaner to clean up.
Soon afterwards, Samuel received a call from Ella. Before that, he had called her bodyguard.
"Where's the girl?"
"She gotten in a car and left. I don't know who sent the driver."
