Trapped with a Lawyer

Chapter 69 She Must Win Back Samuel's Love

Sum walked up to Ella, slightly teasing Jerry in her arms. "Ella, just deal with your parents' funeral.

Don't worry about the company. You can go to work at any time."

"My wife is not going to work. We'll take this time as unpaid work" said Samuel. He was greeting the

guests at the front entrance. When he heard that Sum was already here, Samuel wondered where did

Sum enter?the house. Why didn't he see Sum coming in?

Looking at Samuel, Ella said with a little embarrassment in her voice: "Thank you, Mr. Su. I'll go back to

work after this brief period of time." Samuel was about to divorce her. If they divorced, she had to work,

so that she could afford to live independently. Therefore, she must not take this job lightly.

Samuel walked up to her and took Jerry from her, then looked at their son and said: "Honey, I know you

feel bad. Be good. I'll raise you and our son."

People came in and out of the mourning hall, looking at the situation here with curious eyes. Are these Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

three people the main protagonists of the latest circulating gossip?

Ella was not in the mood to bicker with or to fight against Samuel, she simply replied, "Mr. Su, we will

speak soon"

"OK." Sum soon left after saying goodbye to them.

During all this time, there seemed to be a disturbance outside. The new comers were Harry, Lola,

Chuck and Daisy.

Eason came in with them. Lola hugged Ella, who looked very pale, and said: "Ella, it's all going to be all

right."

Daisy also walked to her and said: "Ella, don't be sad."

Their comfort made Ella's eyes turn red with tears.

Samuel took out the handkerchief in his pocket and wiped her tears: "Don't cry." Ella had been crying

for all these days. He really started wandering whether this woman was made out of water.

Ella took over the handkerchief from his hand and nodded her head. Man's fate is as uncertain as the

weather. These general principles are widely known, but it isn't really easy to face the reality.

The four people bowed to Richard and Jenny's portrait, and left after talking for a while.

When Melody's party left, Viola came over and was just about to leave with Jerry.

Ella was feeling bad and wanted her son to be with her: "Mother, Jerry stays with me today."

"No way!" Viola said loudly, looking at Ella in disbelief.

Samuel was talking with a guest, and after he heard Viola's voice he immediately rushed to them.

"Mother, what are you doing. There are still guests here." Samuel wrinkled his brows.

Viola knew that her son had hated this woman recently. She pointed at Ella and said: "Her parents just

died, and Jerry is so young. What if he sees something unclean?"

Ella felt so angry after hearing her speaking those words that she wished she wouldn't have to speak

with Viola anymore.

"Mother! Jerry can be anywhere he wants to be. Why are you being so superstitious?" Samuel

reprimanded her, and dragged her out of the mourning hall.

They soon disappeared from Ella's eyesight. Looking at the tablet and the portrait of her parents, Ella

felt even more confused.

Her mother-in-law didn't like her, and her husband wanted to divorce her. What should she do now...

Tears streamed down her face, and a chubby little hand covered her eyes. "Mom, Mom, yah yah yah."

Jerry suddenly called her mum, which surprised her.

"Son, are you just calling me mum? Say it again." Jerry called mum before, but not as clear as he did

now.

Jerry's little hand continued to wave in front of her eyes. Ella wondered if he was indeed wiping off her

tears.

She wiped her tears in surprise, and talked to her son: "Good boy. Call me mum."

Jerry showed his three or four lovely teeth, looked at Ella, and spoke clearly: "Mum..."

Ella kissed his face in excitement. She was now so happy that her son had called her mum.

"Father, mother, did you see it? Jerry called me mum. If you were destined to leave, why didn't you wait

until brother married a wife and had a baby, and Jerry called you grandpa and grandma..."

In the evening, Ella had planned to live at home. But Eason rejected her, and asked Samuel to take

them away.

The three of them went back to the Royal Mansion. Samuel went to his study after taking a shower.

Ella slept on the bunk bed in the baby's room with her son. Looking at the sleeping baby, Ella began to

be lost in deep thought.

Her parents had suddenly just left the world, and she felt she lost everything. Her brother lived abroad

for most of the time. If Samuel divorced her, she would be left all by herself.

She made up her mind and decided to try to win back Samuel's love.

It was now getting late. Samuel went back to the bedroom after finishing all the work.

The bedroom was empty. Samuel opened the door of the baby's room. In the dim light, he saw that the

two of them, mother and son, were sound asleep together.

Sitting next to them for a while, Samuel didn't want to break this harmony and went back to the

bedroom.

As he had an important case, Samuel got up early in the morning.

After coming downstairs in the morning, he found out that someone had got up even earlier than he.

Jerry was biting on one of his toys on the blanket in the living room, and Joy Liu was watching him.

In the kitchen, Ella fried an egg, and was about to heat up the milk. Seeing Samuel, she said: "Samuel,

wait a minute. Breakfast?will be ready soon."

Samuel looked at his watch and found that time was running short. He had to go to the company as

soon as possible: "No, thank you. I'm in a hurry. Help yourself." The he kissed Jerry and left the villa in

a hurry.

Ella looked at the heart-shaped egg in the plate, her eyes turning red and filling up with tears. She put

the milk back into the fridge and ate the fried egg.

Ella was bored at home in the morning, and so decided to take her son to the shopping mall and buy

some things needed in the house.

SLD Mall

Ella parked her car and walked into the mall with her son in her arms.

Floor 1 of the Mall

Two women wearing high heels walked towards the boutique: "Catherine, are you a kid? Why do you

have to ask me to shop with you?" Emma was dragged into a boutique, looking extremely reluctant.

"I have to go to the company soon, but it won't take long." Catherine saw a sky-blue key chain that?had

a crystal dolphin with diamonds in it.

She had just stretched her right arm and the key chain was immediately taken away by someone else.

She turned her head and saw a familiar person. This woman wearing a white woolen coat and holding

a baby was Ella! Catherine and her sister sneered. How small the world could be!

"Miss Bo, what a coincidence!" said Catherine with a mocking tone.

Ella looked at the two sisters with indifference and avoided talking to them as she was in a bad mood.
