Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 31

To be honest, Drake's smile was quite sweet. But Ella did not like him.

She heard his compliments but was not pleased at all. She politely replied: "Thanks. I met someone I really like. The idea of getting married with him just came naturally." Samuel was the only man who made her feel the impulse to tie the knot.

"Someone you really like? You like Samuel?" His direct question offended Ella.

But she still replied with a forced smile. "Yes. I like him very much." He knew her husband was Mr. Shao, why did he still refer to her as Ms. Bo?

Her smile seemed dazzling to him. Drake nodded along but an evil thought just came across his mind.

"So how come, Ms. Bo, you are all alone here?" He knew Samuel was now occupied in a meeting but he asked her on purpose.

The way he addressed her really upset Ella. She directly said to him, "If you can, please call me Mrs. Shao. It will make me much happier."

Drake paused at her directness. After a while, he laughed and said: "Well, Mrs. Shao, have you had dinner already? How about me buying you a meal?"

"We don't know each other that well." She did not have the habit of hanging out with some strangers, so she rejected him straightaway.

"Oh, excuse me, allow me to introduce myself to you. My name is Drake. I am a lawyer here as well." He deliberately said his name vaguely.

Ella took it as Rake? She thought for a moment. It did ring a bell somehow. It was quite normal, as Samuel's law firm was big-sized and they had a strong team of lawyers.

It was not possible for her to remember all their names.

"Sorry, Rake, I need to go now as I still have something to do this evening." She didn't know she heard it wrong.

Drake Shao did not correct her. That was exactly what he wanted.

"Fair enough. I will buy you dinner in the future then. Goodbye Ms. Bo, oh, Mrs. Shao." He didn't want to push her.

He was such a nuisance. He knew she was a married woman and yet he offered to buy her a meal!

"Good bye." Ella did not want to talk to him anymore. She turned around and started walking in the opposite direction.

Drake stared at her back, overwhelmed by an evil idea.

Ella had been waiting by the road for more than half an hour when she finally received Samuel's call.

They met up and Samuel drove her towards her parents' house in his Porsche.

On their way, Ella thought of Rake and curiously asked Samuel whether his firm had a lawyer whose name was Rake.

Samuel thought for a while and shook his head. He asked her whether she knew his surname. Ella shook her head. Therefore, they dropped the topic.

It was quite late already, so they didn't bother to go to the Shao family villa to fetch Jerry.

When they arrived at the Bo family's villa, Jenny already made a table full of nice dishes herself.

"Father, mother!" Ella greeted her parents warmly and then ran towards the dinning table. She was truly attracted by the delicacies on the table.

She couldn't remember when was the last time she tried her mother's cooking. She hurried to have a taste!

Jenny had another plate of food in her hands when Samuel came in. "Mother, father!" Samuel greeted them warmly as well and handed Richard a gift he had bought in advance.
