Trapped with a Lawyer

Samuel shrugged in defeat. Ella thought that they had been divorced four years ago, So she had the right to find love and had the freedom to be with that man.

He felt it was his fault. Because of his behavior, he had pushed Ella to the arms of another man.

Samuel felt so heartbroken that he couldn't even breath. 'Samuel, what have you done?

Stupid! You are really fucking stupid!'

"Cra--ack!" Samuel threw his ashtray towards the glass table, causing them both to break. This sound frightened his assistants and secretaries, who were situated outside his office. They pushed and shoved, but no one dared to go in to see what had happened.

"Wasn't Mr. Shao in a good mood recently?"

"Yeah. Did you see the hickey on his neck today, and the scar on his lips the other day? Those were marks of passion. How could he be angry?"

"You dare to laugh? How about you go and see what happened?" Molly hesitated whether to go in or not. If something had happened, she needed to tell Ella immediately.

The secretary drew back in terror and pushed Molly forward.

Molly looked at them helplessly. Then she knocked on the door.

"Come in." The deep voice summoned Molly to walk in.

When she walked in, she saw the glass table that stood in the middle of the office smashed into pieces, together with his favorite ashtray.

Turning to face Samuel, Molly observed that he was leaning on his chair with his eyes closed.

"Mr. Shao." She called out.

Even though Molly called out to him, Samuel still kept his eyes closed, "Speak."

"Are you okay?" She asked with great courage. If only Ella was there, it would have been easy. Although she had been working for Samuel for so long, his temper was so bad that she was afraid to approach him.

A silence fell between them. Molly had thought that he would not answer when he suddenly said, "I have controlled her too much."

Even if he knew that Ella had had a child with someone else, he knew he had no right to be angry.

Of course, Molly knew who he was referring to.

She had only heard a little about them, so she didn't know how to reply.

"If you feel guilty about Ella, you should make it up to her. What a woman wants most is a man to pamper her with no reason."

Molly didn't know whether she was right to say what she said.

'What a woman wants most is a man to pamper her with no reason.'

Samuel knew that he could follow that advice. But how would he stop being guilty? Can he make Ella forgive him?

"She..."

Finally, thousands of words turned into two words, "Forget it."

From now on, he decided that he would not mention anything about her past anymore, and that he needed to work towards living a happy and healthy marriage.

After blowing off steam, though he still felt angry when he thought of the child, he decided to turn a blind eye, As long as Ella no longer contacted the father. And he wanted to know who the father was. If he hadn't treated Ella well, Samuel was going to deal with him thoroughly.

Samuel's anger dissipated visibly, making Molly feel relieved.

She was considering how to tell Ella what was going on when Samuel commanded, "Don't tell her anything, understood?"

"Okay." She nodded and walked out of the office to call a cleaner to clean up.

Soon afterwards, Samuel received a call from Ella. Before that, he had called her bodyguard.

"Where's the girl?"

"She gotten in a car and left. I don't know who sent the driver."

Samuel frowned.

If she is Ella's daughter, then it only made sense that the father was in C Country.

Which meant that Ella remained in contact with him.

'I need to have a talk with her after I deal with Catherine tonight.'

Thinking about this, Samuel took his car keys and walked to the underground parking lot.

At the Plenilune Restaurant.

He dragged on his cigarette as he watched Ella picking dishes for their son.

She also occasionally put some braised pork and fish into his bowl.

Suddenly, Ella put down her chopsticks and turned to Samuel, taking the cigarette out of his mouth.

"Samuel! What do you want?" Ella stared at him.

He began smoking when they met. And now, half the meal time had passed, and he was still smoking.

But he hadn't touched any of the food that she had put for him.

Samuel took the half cigarette from her hand and put it out in an ashtray. "Nothing, let's eat."

"Don't smoke infront of our child!"

"It doesn't matter. He will also smoke when he grows up."

...

Was it a good reason?

"Dad, I won't pick up that bad habit like you." Jerry looked at Samuel with contempt and pledged never to smoke!

Ella put down the chopsticks and looked at Samuel with a serious expression, "Will you?"

"No, I won't do that again." Perceiving that Ella was on the verge of getting angry, Samuel quickly picked up the chopsticks to eat.

"You'd better smoke less. It's not healthy for you." If she didn't use her right as a wife, he would forget who he was.

"Okay."

Of course he could follow her instructions. He had never smoked in front of their child before. But recently his temper had been fluctuating a lot, and he failed on numerous occasions to control himself. Ella nodded, albeit surprised that he agreed without hesitation. She took the chopsticks and continued to pick dishes for them.

The atmosphere was harmonious.

After dinner, Samuel asked a bodyguard to send their son back to the villa first. He had phoned the maid in advance to wait for Jerry at the door.

After Samuel trusted Jerry to the bodyguard, he went to a restaurant with Ella.

Ella knew what they were going to do. The day had finally come.

After getting out of the car, Samuel put an arm around her shoulder, then walked towards the restaurant.

Ella raised her head and looked curiously at the man with a poker face. Samuel seemed to be acting unusual.

Why? Because they are going to deal with Catherine? Did he feel heartbroken?

Ella suddenly stopped and stood steadily in the hallway.

She slipped off his arm from her shoulder.

When he saw the stolid expression on her face, he cast a curious glance towards her.

Ella said faintly, "Samuel, if you don't have the heart to do it, you can go. I can deal with her alone."

"What do you mean?" He didn't have any feelings for Catherine. He walked over to hold Ella and kissed her on her cheek. I
