Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 81

Samuel took a look at the woman with red-rimmed eyes and an expectant look on her face. He took a drag on his cigarette, "If Miss Gu is willing to wait, you can wait until I divorce Ella." Pausing for a moment, he pondered whether, if Ella improved her behavior, he would really have to give up on her.

Samuel wanted Catherine to understand that he didn't want her. She shouldn't concentrate on him any more.

He thought Catherine would understand it, but he was wrong.

Boldly, Catherine took a few steps forward. At this distance, Samuel could clearly see the outline of the bruise on her face, covered in heavy foundation.

She placed her hand on his waist and squeezed her fingers. Feeling his breath, she whispered in his ear, "Samuel, I'm willing to wait.." As long as he was willing to divorce Ella, she was willing to wait as long as it took.

The office door creaked open, but neither Catherine of Samuel heard the noice. Samuel frowned at the woman in his arms. Neither of them noticed the man at the door, snapping photos on his camera phone.

Samuel crushed his cigarette in the ashtray and pushed Catherine away, "Get out!" His cold expression frightened Catherine.

What was she doing? The relationship between her cousin and Samuel was not clear yet. She shouldn't expose her thoughts.

Besides, his divorce wasn't settled yet. Why was Catherine being so hasty and forward.

Calming down a bit, Catherine returned to her normal, bubbly self. "Mr. Shao, I will not pursue the matter any more. But I refuse to leave the firm. This is all because I'm waiting for you." With these words, she walked towards the door.

""Don't waste your time on me. It's not going to work out." Turning the doorknob, Catherine suddenly noticed that the door had been unlocked.

"Whether it does work or not, I know the answer. Mr. Shao, I've loved you for eight years. She turned her head, looking at Samuel confidently. There was no turning back now.

After Catherine left the room, Samuel sat in his office chair. He was shocked by her brazenness. Honestly, in eight years of working with Emma, he had scarcely noticed Catherine.

However, being loved by Catherine was not a good development.

Remembering the feeling of Catherine against his body, Samuel frowned and decided to change his suit. He threw the old suit in a trash can without thinking.

After work, Samuel went straight to the old house. He knew that his feelings were true when he saw Ella with their son.

"Sam?" Melody saw Samuel first and immediately stopped him while he was busy changing his shoes.

Samuel let out a sigh. Ella must have told Melody everything. Besides, grandmother cared about Ella so much.

Samuel picked his son out of the little car and sat next to Melody, "Grandma." The couple, completely ignoring each other, annoyed the slightly traditional Melody.

Melody slapped Samuel's shoulder. So there it was. She must know everything, even about the arrest.

"People need to take responsibility for their actions. It's no use hitting me now." Melody was suddenly confused.

Ella had been meaning to leave the room. After hearing Samuel's reaction, she picked up her phone and pretended to play with it.

"What are you talking about? Are you talking about yourself? First Emma and now Catherine! Did you forget your marriage?" With the last word, Melody felt the need to beat Samuel with her walking stick.

One hour ago, Ella had received a photo on her cell phone. Ella, still weak from the previous day, had sat on the coach without noticing the text message. Melody, sitting to her right had instantly recognized Samuel in the picture.

Upon closer examination, Melody was disgusted to see his arms around Catherine, Emma's cousin.

Upon closer examination, Melody was disgusted to see his arms around Catherine, Emma's cousin. Samuel's first reaction was to look at Ella. Was this her doing? What nonsense had she told his grandmother?

Seeing Samuel denying it, Melody stood up suddenly, walked to Ella and snatched her phone.

"Open the message and look for yourself. Samuel, what kind of a man have you become?" Samuel was getting more and more unreliable, which made Melody choke with apoplectic rage.

Seeing Samuel deny the charge, Melody wanted to leave the house.

Despite not having her phone Ella headed up the stairs and went to the bedroom.

So Catherine loved Samuel after all. Since they were hugging, maybe the feeling was mutual.

But Samuel was divorcing her at the moment. Ella didn't consider herself qualified to mind his business.

Even if Samuel divorced her to be together with Catherine, she wouldn't put it past Catherine! So it was Catherine, the one who had framed her? She wouldn't put it past her.

Ella's figure disappeared at the top of the stairs. Samuel studied her phone. The picture was from an unidentified number.

It was a picture of that afternoon, in his office!

Someone had photographed him with Catherine sent the picture to Ella. Samuel felt his blood beginning to boil.

"You shouldn't be angry. You should be responsible for your bad behavior!" Melody picked up her great grandson from Samuel unhappily.

Ella must be devastated! Why hadn't he said anything? She was worried to death about them.

"I have done absolutely nothing with that Catherine." Crossing his legs, Samuel deleted the phone. He was fairly certain he knew who the photographer was.

"Well if there is nothing to it, why don't you explain it to Ella? Are you an idiot?" Melody had taken Jerry away in order to give Samuel a chance to go after Ella.

Alas! She had always tried to teach him well, but he had grown into an intolerable man.

Samuel drummed the table with his forefinger, "No need to do it." There was nothing to it, nothing to explain.

Furious, Melody gave Jerry back to Samuel and left the living room.

Walking so quickly, it was scarcely possible to think that she already nearly 80 years old.

Jerry looked at his dad and smiled, showing a few teeth.

Caught up in the commotion of the moment, both Melody and Ella had forgotten to dress the baby in a diaper. At this moment a small tragedy occurred.

Jerry, wearing an open-crotch pant, faced Samuel and sat on his leg. Looking at his son, Samuel smiled for the first time that day.

And then, suddenly.. A gush of warm fluid sprayed onto Samuel's face.

...

Taking a moment to realize what had happened, Samuel looked angrily at his son.

How dare Jerry pee on his face! He ought to be spanked!

Samuel let out a long sigh, grabbed the boy by the back of his pants and walked upstairs.

Jerry, delighted to be suddenly airborne, laughed all the way up the stairs.

In the bedroom

Ella was blowing on a cup of boiling water when Samuel opened the bedroom door from outside. At first glance, she could see the frustration on his face. He was dripping from his head and shoulders. What had happened?
