Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 49

Anna looked at Ella and remained speechless. Sister-in-laws? An abandonment crime? Abandonment referred to the crime relating to parents abandoning their children or children abandoning their parents or by not supporting them in any way.

Eason was at worst a rapist or a man who cheated on women's feelings.

But the goal she had in mind had now been accomplished, and she would leave the rest up to Ella.

Anna heard Ella get on the phone and exaggerating: "Dad! I've got something important to tell you!" After her phone call, she came back to the assistants' office.

Five Minutes Later

Ella grasped her phone in her hand and was running to Anna: "Ann! Ann! Oh! No! Sister! Sister!" Her disturbed voice made her words sound incoherent.

She took Anna by her hand and pulled her to a more private, discreet place where they could talk: "Mom said that dad had booked a plane ticket and that if you are pregnant, you must come to our home. My parents will be fully responsible for you. Oh! No! My brother will take this responsibility upon him!"

She was going to have a sister-in-law! Ella was so happy now!

Pregnant? An odd grimace struck on Anna. How could she be pregnant? She wasn't a child anymore, and she had definitely known how to take her morning after pills.

Anna had just wanted Eason to give her a reason for his leave. She wanted to ask why he was avoiding her now, and more than this, she wanted to know why he was avoiding her now.

She never thought of making Eason responsible for any of this, and now she just nodded absently to Ella's excited words.

Jenny visited their company in the afternoon.

Samuel was not there, and Ella was in the office, busy printing some documents for him.

When her her mother was downstairs, she ran down the stairs to pick her up.

Ella settled Jenny into the office, went out, and called Anna in.

Anna looked confused when she saw the lady sitting in sofa, and even frightened when Jenny started to talk with her.

"Mom finally found you, my dear daughter!" She had been looking for her daughter-in-law for more than 30 years! Jenny was so excited that she almost cried out when she took Anna's hands, who was so pretty and capable in her eyes now.

Her son was finally getting married, and she could now finally be relieved of the burden of an unwed son.

Er......r.... Ella and Anna watched the scene with slight awkwardness. "Mom, calm down a bit. You've frightened Ann."

Anna's hands were still held tight by Jenny: "Mrs. Si..." said Anna awkwardly. Eason's mother was so passionate about her. She was almost overwhelmed with emotion.

Jenny calmed down a little. She patted Anna's white little hands, and guaranteed her: "Ella told me what had happened between you and my son. If Eason dares to abandon you, I'll break his legs with my own hands!" While hearing her speak these words, Jenny started gnashing her teeth, Anna was confused when she saw that now Jenny was so serious. Wasn't this Eason Bo a casanova? Did neither one of his previous lovers ever came back to him before her?

Or did Jenny react like all of the other women Eason had sex with?

Ella looked at her mother sitting on the couch, and thought of Viola. Why couldn't she meet a mother-in-law who liked her this much?

Jenny then started talking a lot to Anna. She reluctantly left the law firm after she had confessed to her tons of important things.

At night, Ella got a phone call from Samuel. Samuel told her that he would have a business dinner tonight, and that she would have to go back home alone, on her own.

She decided to get a good night's rest and visit their old house the following day and spend it with her son.

Samuel did not return home until nearly midnight. The bedroom door was strongly pushed open and Ella woke up.

She looked at the time. It was almost twelve o'clock now. Sitting up in bed, this time she noticed that Samuel was walking unsteadily and was off balance.

She could smell the wine on him a mile away. "Are you drunk?" Ella jumped out from the bed and held him in her arms.

When Samuel saw her, he immediately embraced her and kissed her gently on her lips.
