Emma gently rubbed her temples, sitting on an armchair.
She knew this afternoon that Samuel went to the old house. Even though it was night, there was no sign that he would come back.
She also knew that his wife was at the old house, too. She could not give that woman and Samuel any chance to get along.
So she went out for a drink deliberately so as to force him to come back.
She was so vulnerable just now. Why didn't he want her? Was it because he minded that she was not a virgin anymore?
The year when she was 17, Samuel's uncle forced her. Samuel saved her accidentally, but it was still too late.
Emma staggered into the bedroom and closed her eyes, thinking what she was going to do. Should I let Samuel go?'
The next day.
Samuel went to the court for an international fraud case. As for Ella Bo, she walked to the mall, slowly and alone.
The baby had so many clothes that Samuel's grandma bought for it. She just needed to buy some baby aprons, little socks and such.
With one foot into the baby's area, her cell phone rang. 'Who would call me?'
She sat on the bench nearby and took her cell phone out.
It was a stranger. "Hello!"
"Ella Bo?" A cold voice came out of the cell phone. If she got it right, that was Emma.
Ella Bo looked at the call that was got through. Such a bummer!
"What can I do for you?" She looked at a black tie on a male model nearby, which had dark striped pattern. "That would be very handsome on Samuel." She thought.
Emma listened to the calm voice. Actually, she didn't care about her attitude at all, "Do you know where Samuel went later that night?"
Ella Bo knew, of course, "When my husband picked up the call, I was in his arms. Of course I know where he went!"
Emma clenched the cigarette in her hand, "Alright. But it was me who was in his arms after midnight!" She deliberately made that sound sweet.
"So what? You are just a mistress! Aren't you?" A mistress was deemed to be scorned forever.
Emma smiled. "Mistress? Did he even touch you again, after you became pregnant?" My question was simple, but if that woman thought too much, it was not me who was to blame.'
Ella Bo frowned. "What does that mean?" Was she telling her Samuel's physical desire these months was taken care of by her, Emma?
"We've got so much time ahead of us. If you are willing to be a mistress for life, that's fine for me." Ella Bo hung up the phone. "This woman, Emma, was such a bummer!" She thought.
When the call was hung up, Emma's face was distorted with fury. Ella Bo's mind raced swiftly. "Emma called me. It's not as simple as all that!"
After lunch, Ella Bo was walking in the dining room for several circles to digest, while Melody was reading today's newspaper.
Suddenly, the door was opened. Ella Bo saw Samuel coming in. "Why does he come back now?" She had no idea.
"Grandma!" Samuel greeted Melody wearing a poker face. Melody glanced at him and nodded.
When Ella Bo was about to greet him, Samuel turned his cloudy face to her.
