Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 4

In the flower garden.

Melody Han took out a wet tissue for Ella. "Wipe your sweat with this. Pregnant women cannot tolerate hot weather." While saying those words, she fetched out a wet tissue from a melon tray.

"Grandma, thanks for the watermelon." The two of them stayed in the old house, while the servants were out to buy vegetables. Ella felt much better after wiping her sweat off her cheeks.

Melody Han made a gesture to show didn't mind and said, "It is very easy to cut up a watermelon. The watermelon is so sweet!"

Ella responded with a nod of approval and placed the remaining peel down. When she was ready to pick up another slice, she heard somebody remark, "Don't you know that pregnant women shouldn't eat too much watermelon?"

Ella and her grandma turned around at the same time. They saw Samuel at the door in a white T-shirt.

At this moment, he, with a gloomy face, was staring at Ella who was subconsciously protecting her stomach.

Being pleasantly surprised for a while, Ella was scared into putting the melon in her hands back on the tray immediately.

Melody Han made a long face for a minute. With a hint of sarcasm in her voice, Melody Hand said, "I even forgot I have a grandson, too!"

Poor Ella! Though Samuel rarely kept her company, she never complained.

Worse, Samuel had the nerve to appear on the entertainment news with that woman, Emma!

The number of people who wanted to dig up Samuel's personal business increased, as his fame rose. Some news was unexpectedly exposed in public yesterday.

In particular, the provoking headline – "Golden Layer has an affair with Editor-in-Chief Emma, when he has a pregnant wife at home."

Ella got so upset upon receiving that news, that Melody Han was at a loss for how to comfort her.

Even so, Ella still felt pleasantly surprise the moment she saw Samuel today.

The fact that she didn't get angry over Samuel's inappropriate behavior was proof of how much her granddaughter-in-law loved her grandson. Melody Han thought to herself.

"Grandma!" Samuel greeted Melody Han respectfully.

Melody Han pulled a face and ignored his arrival. Somewhat embarrassed, Ella hurried to say, "Grandma, don't be offended, since Samuel is back."

Melody Han glared at Ella after hearing what she just said, "Why do you call him Samuel? You should still address him as 'husband', even in my presence."

Err......Err.... The stylish grandma made Ella purse her lips into a smile.

The weather didn't seem to be so stifling after Samuel saw the smile of the woman with rose cheeks.

"Grandma, let's head in. It is a bit hot here." Ella supported Melody Han by her arms, and they went toward the house.

Melody Han glanced at Samuel. She then patted Ella's hands, "Ella, don't concern yourself with someone who doesn't consider you worth his time and don't cry sadly at night on your own! You are now responsible for your own health and your baby."

How did grandma know? Embarrassed, Ella quickly denied with a flush face, "No, no, no.......I didn't cry. Grandma, I'm really happy being with you and having you spoil me!" Fearing that the man behind her might generate some strange ideas, she sped up the pace.

Perhaps her pregnancy caused her to become a little sentimental. She couldn't help shedding tears on the nights she lay on the large bed all alone.

Ella muttered in her mind, 'How did grandma know that? Did I cry rather loudly?'

Melody Han sighed to herself as she watched her granddaughter-in-law. She knew that her son, daughter-in-law and grandson all liked Emma. She prayed that everything would be fine after Ella gave birth.

Samuel genuinely felt uncomfortable, since he was completely oblivious of how the two supported each other.

However, Samuel was troubled by what grandma just said. 'Why would that woman cry at night? For his sake? Shouldn't she know that she was bound to spend those nights alone? So was she hoping that he'd stay with her?'
