Trapped with a Lawyer

Chapter 106 The Games of Jealousy

"You can be with either Emma or Catherine, whichever you like. And you can have another dozen

children with them as long as you want. If you can leave Jerry's custody to me, I promise you I won't

find him a stepfather..."

"Look, Samuel. It was all my fault back then and I do apologize. I know I was wrong, and I shouldn't

have forced you. Can you let go... of me and Jerry..."

It seemed to Samuel that all Ella cared about was Jerry. Everything she said and did was for Jerry

rather than for him.

"Don't you know I'm really upset?" He interrupted her begging coldly.

Ella was speechless.

All she said just now meant nothing! Ella shot back angrily, "Upset? Then why do you bother calling

me, Mr. Shao?" They actually hadn't seen each other for quite a long while. Ella couldn't help

wondering if he ever missed her during these days...

But soon she found the idea too silly. She must be too full of herself to think he would ever miss her.

"I'm upset because my wife was such a wayward and unpredictable woman." Certainly, it was not easy

to be Ella's husband.

What did she mean by saying "Don't involve her"? And the "Old lady"? If she were an old lady, then

there wouldn't exist such a creature as a young and beautiful lady in the world.

Ella rolled over on the bed to check Jerry. Staring at her son tenderly, Ella lowered her voice and said,

"Mr. Shao, is it fun to go back and forth like this?"

Samuel raised his eyebrows and gave her an answer laced with double meaning, "Absolutely. I'll show

you what going back and forth is like personally when you come back."

What the heck? To show her personally?

Why those four words sounded really inviting from his mouth?

Going back and forth... "Samuel, you're such a jerk!" Ella's face turned red suddenly out of

embarrassment.

She never meant in that way!

"What's going on here?" Samuel seemed to be totally confused about her sudden accusation.

"I... You..." Ella faltered for a while and then dropped the topic and moved on, "Goodbye!"

Nevertheless, Samuel commented on her reply later and said, "You are the most beautiful woman in

the whole world." But only Samuel knew the real meaning of the comment.

By saying she was beautiful, he actually meant on that very special intimate moment.

Though things didn't work out as she wanted, Ella did feel much better after talking to Samuel.

And it was not until she went to bed that night when Ella finally saw Samuel's latest reply on her post.

Then she quickly scanned through the comments below. Most of them were talking about how sweet

Mr. Shao and Mrs. Shao were.

Instead of cheerful, Ella felt rather sad about the situation.

Samuel had been creating the impression that their marriage was just as happy as it seemed.

However, only the two of them knew the truth of their marriage.

Was it likely that a happy couple would talk about divorce every now and then?

And did he just compliment her as beautiful? Ella managed a bitter smile. As far as she was concerned,

Samuel must have been really concerned about how their marriage looked in the public to say these

words. Despite the fact that they had been married for so long, Samuel had never said any sweet word

to her...

And Ella knew he probably would say those words only to Emma.

And she thought of how nice he was to her lately. Ella persuaded herself that maybe it was because Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

she happened to be his wife rather than he was into her or something.

Anyway, it had nothing to do with Ella at all. And she believed that he would perform his duty and play

his role as a nice husband to whohever happened to be his wife.

Everything made sense in that way.

The conclusion was that Samuel didn't love her at all. He was still in love with Emma. Everything he did

for Ella, such as buying her the ring, the house and the car, was simply because she happened to be

his wife. And that was the only reasonable explanation...

Realizing that Samuel had never loved her, Ella couldn't help holding Jerry and bursting into tears.

Her phone rang while she was about to cry her eyes out. It was Samuel again...

He was such an annoying man. Why did he tease her over and over again when he obviously didn't

care about her?

"What?" Noticing her unusual voice, Samuel frowned and then curled his lips silently.

"Why are you crying?" It looked like he was bullying her. But he was actually the one who got bullied.

And she was the one who was cheating behind his back.

"What do you want? Just say it or leave me alone." Ella got up from the bed and walked to the balcony

in case the noise should wake Jerry up. And she hoped the night view of France from there would help

her calm herself down.

Then it suddenly hit her that it was nine o'clock in France, which meant it was three in the morning back

in China. Shouldn't he be on bed already? Why would he call her at this hour?

"Ella, tell me. Do you enjoy cheating behind my back?" Samuel sounded really aggressive. He gulped

down the wine and refilled his cup again.

Ella had no idea what he was talking about. How could she be cheating behind his back when she was

doing nothing at all?

"What do you mean by that?" That was how he saw her? A slutty woman? Who had been finding every

chance to cheat on him?

Thinking of what Emma told him earlier, Samuel closed his eyes and tried to control his temper. And all

of a sudden, he smashed the cup in his hand into the wall.

The glass cup was immediately shattered into pieces. Ella was startled by the noise at the other end.

"Sum had followed you to France the moment you landed. Ella, are you two going to date in France

now? Very well done I must say." Playing innocent in front of him? Was that all she got?

Sum? What about him? Ella was completely puzzled. She had never seen him again since that night.

"Samuel, is that all your chicks are capable of? Spreading rumors? I've heard enough!" If she was right

about this, the source of the news must be either Emma or Catherine.

She knew they would never leave her in peace.

"Don't involve others. You are the one to blame."

"Well, well, Mr. Shao. How very touching! I can't even say anything against them now, can I?" Ella

immediately answered back with sarcastic remarks.

Closing his eyes and reclining back on the couch, Samuel then said, "What? Are you jealous?"

Hearing clearly the teasing in his tone, Ella blanked out for a moment. He was right about it. She was

jealous.

Samuel knew how much she liked him after all. Ella saw no point in hiding her feelings from him. So

she admitted, "Right, I am jealous. Got a problem? Go ahead and hang up."

Samuel was obviously pleased with her confession. "Problem? Ella, you don't know the half of it." He

would let Ella have a taste of her own medicine.

Divorce, in your dreams! That was never going to happen, not until he had grown tired of her.

Trying to keep as calm as she could be, Ella said, "Mr. Shao. As a lawyer, do you know the

consequence of defamation?" She didn't have to remind him.

"Trying to defend yourself with laws now? Don't you know you were already doomed the second you

showed up in my room last year?" Ella would never get away with it if he used it against her.

Ella went silent immediately when he brought that up.

Then she mumbled, "Why holding on that? I'm the one who was risking everything, and you clearly had

nothing to lose..."

She really meant it. And that was her first time with a man.

Samuel tried to say something, but Ella hurried to interrupt, "Never mind that. Now let's go back to the

real matter. You have made me jealous. So what about I make you jealous for a change?" She would

play along if that was what he wanted, but not by his rules. She would make her own game!

Samuel was clearly irritated by her threat in the end.
