Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 234

Samuel didn't know how long he had searched, but it felt like a long time had passed before he managed to find the taxi Ella was in. It was heading for Emerald Community.

Samuel stepped on the gas and drove the car 150 yards, quickly weaving into other lanes, and cutting off other cars.

He ignored the other drivers shouting and swearing, and finally overtook the taxi. He swung the steering wheel and his Lamborghini veered into a sidelong position across the road.

No one dared say anything, seeing such an expensive car complete a maneuver like this.

The taxi's brakes squealed to a stop; Ella's forehead banged against the seat.

As she rubbed her aching forehead, she thought gloomily: "More trouble! When will it end?"

Before she could even complete this thought, the back door of the taxi was opened, and she was dragged out.

Samuel treated her like a ragdoll and pushed her into the car in front of the dumbfounded crowd which had gathered around.

After he did all this in one go, without any hiccups, Samuel rounded the other side of the Lamborghini and got in. In Ella's dazed state, she hadn't taken in much of what was going on, and didn't even notice him punch the ignition. In a moment, he was out of sight again.

Two minutes later, the drivers of the other cars were still standing around flabbergasted, lost for words.

In the car.

Ella collected herself and calmly leaned back in the car seat, without saying a word. She didn't know what she could say, actually. She could only think about how embarrassing she must have appeared, to be involved into such a scandal.

"What's on your mind?" Samuel tried to hold her little hands, but she brushed him away.

She only had distrust for him.

And then, he said, "Ella, don't misunderstand me. You'll let Molly down if you act like this. How sad she will be if she knows you don't trust her at all."

"Samuel, " Ella murmured, "I trust Molly, but I don't trust you."

'Am I really that terrible?' he thought sadly.

'Not one man is good! They even flirt with their wife's best friends! ''

...

"You've got it all wrong, babe." He turned the car around and drove for the villa district where The Royal Mansion was.

Upon hearing her husband's plea, she tried to hide her smile. She was secretly pleased, but there was only despair written on her face.

Samuel dropped her off at the door of the villa, and put it in park.

As he got out, he saw Ella under the streetlight walking toward the gate.

Ah! Wrong way! It killed him to see her so upset.

Samuel quickened his pace to catch her again.

Ella was thumbing through her phone, chatting with Molly on Wechat: "I know. Don't worry. I'm not going to quarrel with him."

Do not quarrel with him? she echoed. That's impossible! He filled her with jealousy. If she wouldn't quarrel with him, and have it out with him now, then all her tears would be for nothing. And it would happen again, no doubt.

Hearing the footsteps behind her, Ella clicked her phone into standby, and put on a despairing face once more.

Soon, Ella was in his warm arms. She smiled, and buried in his chest, secretly.

"Babe, it's so late. Where are you going?"

"I'm leaving."

"Don't. Are you crazy? Who knows what kind of perverts are out there on the streets at this hour." He pulled back to look at her.

"Either I go, or you get out of here!" Ella said frostily.
