Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 27

After the baby fell asleep, Ella put him in the middle of the bed. She piled some quilt along the bed edge in case the baby should turn and fall, then she walked downstairs.

In the kitchen, the maids were still busy working. They completely ignored her when she walked in.

Because of Viola's attitude, the maids did not treat Ella fairly.

Ella knew about their attitudes but she did not say anything. She took out a box of milk from the fridge and pulled some milk into a pot to heat.

One of the maids disagreed and murmured: " I just washed that pot clean..."

Ella was cross, so she turned around and confronted her: "So what? I cannot use the pot you just washed?"

The maid curled her lips and walked away with no more words.

Ella looked at her back and took a deep breath. How come they all treated her in such a nasty way? Wherever she went, she was always neglected.

When Ella carried the warm milk back to the bedroom, Samuel just stepped out of the bathroom.

He was in a piece of gray robe and was drying his short hair with a towel.

"Samuel, I just heated up the milk for you. Please drink it while it is still warm." She carefully walked up to him and held the milk up for him.

Samuel stared at the milk and frowned his eyebrows: "You don't need to do these things. Just leave them to the maids." What he was trying to say was, she was his wife and there was no need for her to do these errands in person.

However, Ella paused, as she thought he did not like her doing these things for him. "Oh, okay!"

Samuel took over the milk and randomly put it on the table next to him. He intended to drink it after he had dried his hair.

Ella mistook his behavior and confirmed that Samuel did not like her doing that for him. She looked at the milk and then cast a sad glance at her sleeping son. Ella felt a little bit down as she walked into the bathroom.

In the bedroom, Ella's phone on the table started ringing.

Samuel drank the milk and picked up the phone. He saw the caller's name and his face was gloomy instantly.

"Mr. Su." He answered the phone.

Sum was quite surprised to hear a man's voice. He paused for a second and then he directly asked: "Mr. Shao, where is Ella?"

'Ella? How dare he call her like that!' Samuel sneered, "My wife is in the shower. What are you up to? If you don't have anything important to say, I am going to shower as well.

Sum heard the scornful tone from his voice and knew exactly that Samuel was showing off. Sum paused for a second and then said: "Well, when she is done, please tell her to call me back. I have something important to say to her."

Call him back? Samuel thought Sum must be out of his mind. "You can just say it to me."

"Say it to you? Are you acting on behalf of Ella now?"

"Of course!" Samuel replied without any hesitation.

Sum paused again, then he said: "I will call her tomorrow then." Then he hung up the phone. Samuel stared at the phone and then he blocked Sum's number.

When Ella stepped out of the bathroom, Samuel mentioned nothing to her.

Ella cast a glance at the man who was browsing through his phone on the bed, then she walked to the other side of the bed. She knelt on the bed and carefully put the baby between them.

She cuddled her son and closed her eyes. Ella was ready to fall asleep.

All of a sudden, the baby was taken away from her chest. She opened her eyes and saw Samuel putting their son on the other side of the bed.

Then he leaned over and hugged her tightly.

Ella sniffed his body scent and her breathing got heavier. Her Samuel did nothing, and there she was, already falling for him. He was just so irresistibly charismatic.

"Let's talk."

"Talk?" Ella's imagination was running wild. What on earth did Samuel want to talk about with her?
