Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 93

Indeed, money is never the issue for them.

Both Harry and Samuel were wealthy, therefore they wouldn't have an issue in the future.

"Since my husband is rich, I should make use of his money and have several gigolos for fun?" Lola remarked and the room erupted in laughter. The mood was finally light and happy. Ella gave Daniel a strawberry toy that was beside him, but he threw it away with a disgusted look on his face.

Ella was surprised by the boy's sudden move and thought it to be rather cool.

"I agree" Harry mused.

"Since we are planning our children's futures, I might as well give birth to a daughter that Daniel can marry?" Ella remarked, holding Daniel tightly in her arms.

Samuel looked at Ella, an evil glint in his eye. Ella looked up at Samuel, and her body visibly sank into the sofa as if to make herself look smaller. She knew all too well what that look symbolised- "the punishment."

Lola noticed this interaction and moved closer to Ella. "What is it? Why is he looking at you like that? Will everything be okay?" She wanted to find out if Ella will be okay. She didn't like what was happening.

With Jerry in his arms, Samuel stood up and put Daniel in Lola's arms. Then he placed his son where Daniel was. He caught Ella by the elbow and prompted her to stand up.

"Thanks for taking care of my wife and son these past few days. We'll go home now." And with that, they walked towards Samuel's car.

Lola was about to object but Harry held up his hand to stop her. Lola succumbed and escorted them to their car. Standing by the main door, Harry, Lola and their children looked on as Samuel and his family entered their car. Ella looked back at Lola and said, "I'll call you tomorrow. Thank you."

"Okay! You are more than welcome to come here if you want. My door is always open." After saying those words, Lola waved them off.

Ella pulled down the window and responded. "Of course! Goodbye."

"Bye!" said Lola.

Both husbands were angry with this new development, Samuel more so than Harry.

They are annoyed by the fact that their wives are more close to each other than to them.

Half an hour later, they arrived at The Old House.

Upon seeing Ella and Jerry, Melody run to the door to welcome them home.

"Finally you have come back. Oh, how I have missed you, come here you two." Melody embraced them both. She took Jerry in her arms, and proceeded to the living room.

Melody glanced at Samuel for a second and noticed his sullen expression. She wasn't sure how to tackle the situation. So she opted to occupy herself with Jerry. Ella changed her shoes and proceeded to the kitchen.

It was time for dinner.

Soon after, Vincent and Viola arrived also. They all sat down to share a meal.

They were delighted when they saw Jerry.

Ella and Samuel sat on opposite ends of the dinning table, each in their own world.

After finishing dinner, Melody ushered Vincent and Viola to the living room. Samuel followed suite. Ella excused herself and went outside with Jerry in her arms. She wanted to take a walk and clear her head.

Jerry fell asleep soon after, forcing Ella to cut her walk short. She needed to place Jerry in his cot so that he could sleep.

Just as she opened the door, she heard Viola's voice coming from the living room. "I saw Emma yesterday. I felt sorry when I saw the bruises on her face. I can't believe Ella did that. How can you stand her? Do you know how heartbroken Emma is?"

"I did ask her to apologize to Emma but then, she got upset and took Jerry, disappearing from home for three days!" Samuel responded, his voice almost a whisper. "That's just disrespectful!"

Do you know Emma is still waiting for you? She cries and tells me that she still loves you. Don't you love her anymore?" Viola was the opposite. Her voice was loud and she didn't care if Ella could hear her. She sat there and waited for Samuel's answer.

"What if I still love her? Nothing can happen between us. I am a married man." Samuel's voice sounded impatient but clear.

Ella stood still as thoughts raced through her mind. It was because of me and Jerry that he refused Emma, even though he still loved her. Ella thought.
