Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 182

After Ella walked into her apartment, she launched a video chat with her son. Melody grinned from ear to ear when she noticed Samuel who appeared on the screen.

"Mom, I miss you and my little sister. When can I see you again?" While he was upset that he hadn't see them for a long time, Jerry noticed that his mom was winking fervently. Then he suddenly realised that he had mentioned his sister in front of Samuel.

Samuel heard Jerry talking about his sister when he was wearing a bathrobe after taking a shower. Confused, he turned around and looked at Ella, who was video-chatting with her back to Samuel

As he took two steps closer, he heard Jerry saying, "Lola's daughter is so cute. Mom, can she come to America again with us?"

Ella heard Samuel halt after Jerry said the words. She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Of course she can." If he paid attention to her voice, he would find that it was slightly trembling.

They stopped video chatting after half an hour. But Samuel was very quiet, he even didn't talk to his son.

Ella was indignant about it. She slammed her phone on the nightstand and looked at him, busy on his phone, "Samuel!"

"Wife!"

"I'm not your wife. I have a question to ask!" Standing beside the bed, Ella folded her hands with a stern face, as if it was an interrogation.

Samuel put the phone aside and let Ella sit beside him, "Honey, what's wrong?"

Ella decided to set aside the way he addressed her because she had something more important to ask.

"Is Jerry not your son?" Samuel was shocked by this question, because the answer was obvious. A bad feeling rose in his heart.

"Kiss me. Then I'll tell you." He was way more clear than Ella that Jerry was his son.

Ella lost her cool because of his frivolity, and she pinched his face really hard.

"You'd better behave yourself!"

"Yes, ma'am." The man moved his body a little bit and sat squarely, deliberately. He said with a ferocious voice, "If I found out that he's not my son, you'll know what I'm capable of!"

...

"Of course he's not your son." Provoked, Samuel lunged at her and placed himself on top of her, leaving her no chance to escape.

"Then give me one, my own son."

Ella was flustered, as her struggling hands were held over her head. "Samuel, you know Jerry is your son, don't you? He is your son! Your son!"

He got off from her as he grinned. Yet as Ella took sighed in relief, Samuel put his hands around her waist and put her on top of him. Then, she sprawled across his body.

Ella flushed as she accidentally touched Samuel's pectorals. She was surprised that even though he was busy every day, he could spare time to work out.

Satisfied, Samuel looked at his woman, whose tiny hands kept rubbing his chest, and he said, "How do they feel? Do you like them?"

Upon hearing this, Ella immediately pulled her hands back as if she had just burnt them. "Let me go take a shower. You should sleep."

She nearly surrendered under his increasingly enhanced flirting skills.

Samuel bared his white teeth as he watched Ella's figure walk away from him.

Later, Samuel watched her taking pills and both of them went to sleep.

When she was drifting into sleep, she wondered why Samuel behaved himself that night. But she chose not to ask him lest he got any weird idea.

At 6 o'clock, Ella sat up in bed as the alarm rang.

She had missed the commercial shooting the day before so she did not want to miss it again.

She quietly got off the bed, but Samuel opened his eyes and got up as well.

Being curious, Ella brushed her teeth and washed her face with Samuel by her side. Then, Samuel put her in his car to take her for breakfast.

He left after he took her to the set and watched her get into her dressing-room.

Ella was confused as she watched Samuel walk away. 'What does he mean by doing this? Has he become my bodyguard?'

After Samuel took Ella to the set, he drove to the chef's place. He had called ahead to find out if the chef was available.

Then he began to learn how to cook. Looking at the lampblack, Samuel frowned.

Samuel was actually gifted in cooking. He could cook many delicious dishes after only three days of learning.

Ella had gone to the villa to see her daughter. However, when she returned to the apartment, she was astounded by the dishes on the table.

"Is there a cook in the aprtment?" She wanted to know if the meals were cooked by Samuel.

It was the first time she had seen Samuel wearing a white apron, which made him look like a family man.

Samuel shook his head and served the last dish, mapo tofu, and put it on the table.

Looking at the eight dishes and the soup, Ella became speechless.. "Samuel, are you trying to feed a pig?"

The food was way two much for them.

"Ella, how can you say that? These exquisite dishes are not for pigs!" Samuel was a little upset because it was the first time he had cooked for her.

Seeing Samuel's face change, Ella immediately held his arms with a smile on her face, "I'm sorry. Now, Chef Shao, will you feed this patient who just recovered?"

'That is truly a little mean. After all, he must have put a lot of effort into it.' She thought.

Samuel's face turned bright as she apologised with a smile on her face, "Wash your hands, then we can eat."

After washing her hands, Ella started eating the food. Soon after, she exclaimed in between bites, "Oh wow, so tasty. This is incredible... What magic did you use? Delicious!"

Leisurely leaning on the chair, Samuel watched Ella gobbling, his eyes filled with love.

'Ella, I'm gonna make it up to you, ' he swore inwardly.

At the set.

Ella had just finished a shoot for a promotional video. Her phone rang as she was taking off a pair of long eardrop earrings in front a mirror.

It was Lola.

"Hello, Lola." She answered the phone briskly while watching her face in the mirror, which seemed to be plumped under Chef Shao's care.

Ella was astonished by something Lola said, "You can pay me that much? But I'm just a B-list celebrity? Surely you have made a mistake."

"Harry's idea? But, you know, I can't go back to C country. Jane needs me."

"I know this is hard-to-come-by, but..." Ella hesitated. But she suddenly recalled that Samuel said Jerry would come to live with her. Then she would have two kids to take care of, which would increase the pressure on her.

Lola repeated what her husband had told her about Ella while she was in Harry's arms.

"Ella, you can't stay in America forever. Jerry is in C Country and you have two kids to look after. You must earn as much money as you can." Besides, you don't have anyone to support you except your friends. If you come back, while you're busy, Daisy, Lilian and I can help you look after Jane. What do you say?"
