Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 38

Hearing Felix's poor Chinese, Ella, who picked up food for Samuel, put down the chopsticks immediately and answered politely, "Thank you, Felix. Emma is also a rare beautiful lady of note."

Ella said that sincerely, because Emma was indeed very beautiful. How lucky Samuel was to have such a beautiful ex-girlfriend.

Ella heard that Emma's parents divorced, and her father got remarried after he became a nouveau riche. Her mother always went to places like casinos and nightclubs, so it was indeed ironic to say that she was a lady of note.

Ella admitted that she was not generous, so she didn't object to being called narrow-minded.

Emma liked her husband, so Ella couldn't ignore Emma.

As Ella mentioned Emma suddenly, Samuel, who knew Emma well, stopped. He pinched Ella's hand under the table gently. How naughty Ella was.

He said nothing. Ella didn't know what he thought. However, Ella misunderstood Samuel's gesture and instead thought that Samuel was blaming her and defending Emma.

She felt sad, but she was more determined. Emma had made the first strike by coming over here, so she wouldn't sit and watch.

She married Samuel with great difficulty. She wouldn't let go of him no matter what difficulties she encountered later.

Emma surely knew Ella was mocking her. She stopped smiling. Her family was a taboo subject, so she was infuriated by Ella's deliberate mentioning of her family.

Before she said something, Catherine spoke first.

She wanted to scratch Ella's proud face, "Ella, didn't Samuel teach you manners?"

Samuel frowned. How could she judge his wife?

Ella, feeling embarrassed, tried to respond, but Samuel said coldly first, "Catherine, it's dinner time. If you feel bad, you can leave." The loses of Catherine as his lawyer as well as the case brought in by Emma were acceptable to Samuel.

However, Ella was his wife, so he had to tolerate her willfulness and temper.

He could understand Ella. If Emma hadn't talked to him and asked him out in his firm today, Ella wouldn't have said something so provoking.

If Sum were to ask Ella out, he would be pettier than Ella.

Besides, the other reason why Ella did that was because she loved him.

Samuel knew all this, so he held her hand more tightly. Then he picked up food and put it in her dish as if nothing had happened.

Obviously, Samuel was being partial to Ella. Catherine and Emma were embarrassed.

It pained Emma to see that Samuel, instead of blaming Ella, still picked up food for her.

Ella looked at the food in her dish and was moved to tears. How nice Samuel was. He was defending her and wasn't coy about his affection towards her at all…

Samuel's rather cold reply made the atmosphere a bit embarrassing for both of them.

Anna looked at this scene silently. After everyone went quiet, she wore a professional smile and looked at Felix. She spoke in fluent English, "Do you like the Chinese food tonight? Are you used to it?"

Felix liked beautiful women, and liked making contact with beautiful women more. He had won the hearts of nearly all the beautiful women around him, including Emma...

Anna took the initiative to talk to him, so he was very happy, "It is great! Did you arrange it?"

The atmosphere warmed with the talk between Anna and Felix.

When they almost finished dinner, Samuel began to talk about the cooperation case with Felix.

Ella, with a faint smile, peeled the shrimp quietly. Putting the shrimp in Samuel's dish, she saw his confident look when he was working. It was so charming.

After peeling five or six shrimp, Ella wiped her hands clean and then got up to leave the private room.

In the toilet, Ella squeezed some hand lotion to wash away the greasy oil on her hands.

She turned on the tap. Meanwhile, a woman was standing next to her, "Emma will be transferred back to the company in C Country. After the case is solved, she will come back." Catherine turned on the tap and washed her hands.

Then she entered the bathroom, as if she didn't say that just now.

Ella washed her hands slowly. 'Emma would return to C Country?' 'For Samuel?'

It should be true, or Catherine wouldn't say that to her.

Ella sighed. It seemed that there would be a fierce fight between Emma and her in the future.

Ella returned to the private room. A bottle of white liquor was opened. All the cups were filled with white liquor, except Ella's.

Sitting back to her seat, she found the shrimps in Samuel's dish had gone. He must have eaten them up. Thinking of this, Ella smiled.

After Ella sat down, Felix spoke to her, "We would like a drink with you, but since you are preparing for the second baby, perhaps it is better if you don't." Then he cast an ambiguous look at Samuel and Ella.

Er......r.... The second baby? When did they decide it? Ella looked at nearby Samuel with a blush. Did he tell them about it?

Samuel also looked at her with a smile.

Ella stood up and said, "Felix, I'm sorry to have disappointed you. I'd like to toast you with a cup of tea."

They clinked glasses. Ella had some tea and sat down.

Emma drank several cups of liquor quietly. Ella saw that and felt painful in her stomach. Did Emma want to get Samuel's attention by hurting herself intentionally?

Halfway through the discussion, Emma approached Samuel with a wine cup in her hand and staggered on her way.

"Samuel, a toast to you. Thank you for handling this case." Emma's cheeks were reddish. She stood beside Samuel flirtatiously.

It was the first time that Ella saw Emma being so charming, which was in stark contrast to her usual image as a professional woman. No man would refuse her invitation, right?

Sure enough, Samuel picked up the cup in front of him and said, "My pleasure." They clinked glasses and drank.

Being drunk, Emma spoke a lot. She filled her cup with white liquor again, "Samuel, after this case is solved, I will be transferred back to the periodical office in C Country. As my ex-boyfriend, will you give me a welcome?"

The atmosphere became embarrassing again.

All the eight people in the private room now knew that Emma was Samuel's ex-girlfriend.
