Trapped with a Lawyer

Chapter 179 Sum Is Getting Married

If Samuel behaved himself, she wouldn't be angry, and she would certainly drink less.

If he did not, alcohol would be a necessity. She needed to use alcohol to numb herself at times.

The man opposite her didn't think that way. Her saying that "We will see" meant to him that it depended

on the situation at that moment.

"If you don't behave, I will still do the things that I have told you i will do."

Huh? The woman looked at him at a loss and felt confused. He had threatened to do numerous things

and Ella didn't know what he was referring to now.

"I will end your career in the entertainment industry." He warned, with no hint of joking in his eyes.

...

"I..."

"Ella!" Another voice interrupted and broke the tension between them.

Thanks to Samuel, she hadn't even worn a mask or glasses before leaving the apartment. It wasn't

surprising that someone would recognise her. But the voice sounded so familiar.

When they looked up, Ella's eyes widened while Samuel's became darker.

"Sum!" What a coincidence! Ella stood up from the chair excitedly at the sight of her old friend. It's a

small world indeed.

Ella and Sum happily hugged, and Samuel and Sum simply shook hands.

"I've been in America for two years." Sum smiled and explained to her.

From Sum's smile, Ella saw a different person. His smile was bright and his body radiated joy and

calmness.

Samuel held Ella's hand which was on the table. She couldn't help looking at him, and found his eyes

glistening with displeasure.

Ella took back her hand and smiled at Sum, "I've been here for two years also." Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

"I know." Sum took in every detail of what was happening, but his expression remained stolid.

"Did you come here alone?" Samuel's eyes were filled with anger. Ella had to think about every word

before saying it.

Sum smiled and shook his head from side to side. At that moment, a tall strong blonde man came to

Sum's side.

He spoke to Sum, which made Ella's eyes grow wider in shock.

"Dear, the bill is paid already, let's go." Looking at Sum, the foreign man had exotic eyes that were

clearly filled with love and affection. Ella understood the expression in his eyes because Samuel

sometimes looked at her like that.

"There is no need to hurry Alan, let me introduce you. This is my friend Ella, and this is her... husband,

Samuel... ehh.. Mr. Shao." When introducing Samuel, Sum hesitated a little, but still introduced him in

accordance with his understanding.

"How are you? It's very good to meet you." The foreign man was warm, and gave Ella a hug.

And then he shook hands with Samuel.

"Ella, Mr. Shao, this is my boyfriend. His name is Alan."

'Cough!' After hearing Sum's introduction, Ella choked because of her saliva.

And Samuel was surprised too, but he quickly regain his composure, with a satisfied smile plastered on

his face.

Looking at Ella, who was coughing badly, he handed her a glass of water, "Dear, drink some water, you

will feel better."

Ella was still shocked by the news that Sum had just told them and didn't hear Samuel's words. She felt

much better after drinking quite a bit of water.

"Sum... I..." Ella was trying to make sure that she had not misheard.

An inexplicable emotion appeared on Sum's eyes but vanished quickly. He nodded and held Alan's

hand, "Yes, Ella, our wedding will be in November, and I will send you the details if you want to come."

Because of Ella, years went by and Sum start to have other feelings in his heart. He no longer believed

in women, and love.

Ella disappeared for two years. To get rid of the shadow cast by Ella, he sold his company and came to

America alone.

When he began to build his new company, Sum got to know Alan, the president of the company that

cooperated with him. After the intense chase, Sum started to believe in love again and the two got

together.

Homosexuality was not uncommon abroad, and many lovers got married, and the many around them

supported their new union.

"Hmm... Then... I wish you all the happiness." Ella was incoherent, and she didn't know what to say.

Her mind was a mess.

"Thanks, then we've got to go. Ella, Mr. Shao, goodbye." The four shook hands and said goodbye.

Looking at Sum, who was holding Alan, Ella numbly sat back in her chair, and started to digest what

just happened.

Sum was going to get married, to a man.

Ella was still lost in thought even when the dishes were brought. Samuel just cast a look at her, as he

arranged the food on the table.

Two minutes later.

"Enough! No more thinking!" Sum had been gone for a while already, but Ella was still in a daze.

Samuel yanked her back to reality with his booming voice.

A delicate bowl of millet porridge and a few dishes were put in front of her. Ella came back to herself.

Feeling like she was in a dream, she tried to get confirmation from Samuel, "Have we just met Sum?"

Sum took a mouthful of porridge, "Yes, he and his boyfriend are getting married."

...

It was not a dream. Ella took up the spoon and started to eat the porridge like a machine.

"Ella." Samuel interrupted her thinking again.

"Huh?" He stopped eating. Ella looked at Samuel and noticed that he was very angry.

He was pissed-off? Why?

"From now on, you must not think of any other men. Only me, understood?" Samuel leaned forward,

getting closer to her, and pinched her delicate chin.

"Oh, okay okay." No more thinking, no more thinking! Samuel almost kissed her. Ella reminded herself

to never think of another man in the presence of Samuel ever again, or she would be in trouble.

Samuel was satisfied and took back his hand. Then, he started eating.

Women are so much trouble, Samuel thought as he scooped more delicious porridge in his mouth.

"I don't want millet porridge, Samuel, the porridge is the same. Let me have wheat kernel and pumpkin

porridge."

"Finish this first."

"No! I hate the millet porridge. If I don't get the type I want, I'm not going to eat at all." Ella threw the

spoon in the bowl and it clattered against it loudly. They stared at each other stubbornly.

She just didn't want to eat millet porridge!

Half a minute later, Samuel called the waiter, "Another wheat kernel and pumpkin porridge, please."

"Yes sir, please wait a moment."

Ella stopped frowning, and happily pushed the millet porridge aside and waited for her wheat kernel

and pumpkin porridge.

Samuel finished up his and her portion of millet porridge within a few minutes.

This surprised Ella. Samuel even had her leftovers.

Later, Ella went to the restroom, taking the opportunity to call the villa and she then spoke with her

daughter for 10 minutes.
