Samuel took a look at the woman with red-rimmed eyes and an expectant look on her face. He took a drag on his cigarette, "If Miss Gu is willing to wait, you can wait until I divorce Ella." Pausing for a moment, he pondered whether, if Ella improved her behavior, he would really have to give up on her.
Samuel wanted Catherine to understand that he didn't want her. She shouldn't concentrate on him any more.
He thought Catherine would understand it, but he was wrong.
Boldly, Catherine took a few steps forward. At this distance, Samuel could clearly see the outline of the bruise on her face, covered in heavy foundation.
She placed her hand on his waist and squeezed her fingers. Feeling his breath, she whispered in his ear, "Samuel, I'm willing to wait.." As long as he was willing to divorce Ella, she was willing to wait as long as it took.
The office door creaked open, but neither Catherine of Samuel heard the noice. Samuel frowned at the woman in his arms. Neither of them noticed the man at the door, snapping photos on his camera phone.
Samuel crushed his cigarette in the ashtray and pushed Catherine away, "Get out!" His cold expression frightened Catherine.
What was she doing? The relationship between her cousin and Samuel was not clear yet. She shouldn't expose her thoughts.
Besides, his divorce wasn't settled yet. Why was Catherine being so hasty and forward.
Calming down a bit, Catherine returned to her normal, bubbly self. "Mr. Shao, I will not pursue the matter any more. But I refuse to leave the firm. This is all because I'm waiting for you." With these words, she walked towards the door.
""Don't waste your time on me. It's not going to work out." Turning the doorknob, Catherine suddenly noticed that the door had been unlocked.
"Whether it does work or not, I know the answer. Mr. Shao, I've loved you for eight years. She turned her head, looking at Samuel confidently. There was no turning back now.
After Catherine left the room, Samuel sat in his office chair. He was shocked by her brazenness. Honestly, in eight years of working with Emma, he had scarcely noticed Catherine.
However, being loved by Catherine was not a good development.
Remembering the feeling of Catherine against his body, Samuel frowned and decided to change his suit. He threw the old suit in a trash can without thinking.
After work, Samuel went straight to the old house. He knew that his feelings were true when he saw Ella with their son.
"Sam?" Melody saw Samuel first and immediately stopped him while he was busy changing his shoes.
Samuel let out a sigh. Ella must have told Melody everything. Besides, grandmother cared about Ella so much.
Samuel picked his son out of the little car and sat next to Melody, "Grandma." The couple, completely ignoring each other, annoyed the slightly traditional Melody.
Melody slapped Samuel's shoulder. So there it was. She must know everything, even about the arrest.
"People need to take responsibility for their actions. It's no use hitting me now." Melody was suddenly confused.
Ella had been meaning to leave the room. After hearing Samuel's reaction, she picked up her phone and pretended to play with it.
"What are you talking about? Are you talking about yourself? First Emma and now Catherine! Did you forget your marriage?" With the last word, Melody felt the need to beat Samuel with her walking stick.
One hour ago, Ella had received a photo on her cell phone. Ella, still weak from the previous day, had sat on the coach without noticing the text message. Melody, sitting to her right had instantly recognized Samuel in the picture.
Upon closer examination, Melody was disgusted to see his arms around Catherine, Emma's cousin.
Upon closer examination, Melody was disgusted to see his arms around Catherine, Emma's cousin. Samuel's first reaction was to look at Ella. Was this her doing? What nonsense had she told his grandmother?
Seeing Samuel denying it, Melody stood up suddenly, walked to Ella and snatched her phone.
