Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 134

Our house... Ella's eyes watered, because in recent years every time Melody mentioned something about the Shao's she would say "our family."

She nodded like a little girl, and said, "Grandma, I'll call you when I leave."

"I have a question to ask you."

"Grandma, What is it?"

After taking a deep breath, Melody asked, "It has been years. Have you forgiven Samuel? Is it possible for you to remarry him?"

Though Melody had known that Samuel was engaged to Catherine, she would never accept Catherine as her granddaughter-in-law.

In her heart, Ella was her only granddaughter-in-law.

Ella had been considering it as well. In the middle of the night, she had been thinking of him.

Yet she couldn't stop the anger and hate from affecting her, every time she thought of Jane.

"Grandma, he has a fiancée and he will marry her soon. It's impossible for us to get remarried now."

She murmured.

To everyone's surprise, Catherine defeated Emma and became engaged to Samuel.

Ella knew what she was capable of.

However, she was not as sly as Catherine back then.

"Ella, as long as you can forgive him, I will make him break off his engagement with that Catherine. If he refuses, then I'll beat the crap out of him till he says yes." Melody was aware that her grandson still had feelings for Ella, but she didn't know if Ella did.

Melody was serious about it. Nevertheless, Ella leaned on Melody's shoulder and said, "Grandma, that would be unnecessary. We are both good now. But you can still beat him when he stops me from seeing you.

Being single is not that bad. I don't need to rack my brains to please another guy or be irritated and mentally tortured."

"It still depends on your fates. But whatever happens, you'll always be my granddaughter."

"Thanks, Grandma."

Two hours later, she finally walked out of Melody's room. She held her children in her arms and stayed awake the whole night.

Five days later, it was time for Jerry and Melody to leave.

The four parted reluctantly. Ella said to her son, "Sweetie, be a good boy for your Grandma. Your sister and I will come and visit you soon."

Upon hearing that his mom and sister would visit them, Jerry was extremely delighted, "Yes, Mom. I'll wait for you and Jane."

"Well, Ella, the flight is boarding. You should go back now." Melody spoke, fighting back tears. Ella waved goodbye with tears in her eyes as she watched Melody getting on the plane holding Jerry's hand.

Melody reminded Jerry on the plane, "If your daddy asks where we have been after we return, don't say that we have met mom, okay? Tell him that we just visited numerous sites in Los Angeles."

Though Ella had reminded her son of it before, Melody was still afraid that Samuel might discover that they had met and stop them from traveling to see Ella ever again. Hence, she wanted her grandson to be prepared.

"Don't worry, grandma, I won't tell!" He never had.

Samuel went to meet his grandma and son in person at the airport in C country.

"Grandma." Samuel stubbed out the half burnt cigarette and threw it into the dumpster. Then he picked up little Jerry, who was getting heavier and heavier. "He has grown quite a bit in 5 days. What were you feeding him in America?" Samuel asked rhetorically.

Melody didn't want to talk to her grandson. When she looked at him, all she could see and think about was Jane.

She glared at Samuel and got in his brand-new Maserati.

Feeling confused, he put his son in the backseat of the car.

Then he placed the luggage, which was handed to him by other maid, in the trunk of the car.

When they arrived at the old house, Samuel volunteered to help Melody with the luggage, but she refused because there were many things that Ella had bought for them, as well as numerous pictures they had taken together.

Puzzled, he went to his bedroom with his son snuggled in his arms and put him on the bed. Then they gazed at each other awkwardly.

"Mr. Samuel, aren't you very busy?" Jerry was rearing to have his dad leave, so that he could play with the toys his mom bought for him.

"Why are you calling me that? Call me Dad." He's just as difficult as his mom. He thought to himself.

Jerry ignored him, then he threw himself down on the bed and began to play with his IPad.

Staring at Jerry who looked very happy, Samuel felt confused.

Something doesn't feel right. He thought to himself.

Grandma hates traveling the most. But since that women left four years ago, she began to take Jerry out of the country frequently.

They went to France two years ago, then they started going to America two years later.

America! That was where Ella was. Everything started to make sense now.

"Jerry." Upon hearing Samuel's solemn voice, Jerry was startled.

Looking at Samuel's gloomy expression, he was slightly startled because he had never seen his dad like this before.

"What?" He plucked his courage and answered, trying not to make his voice tremble.

"What did you do when you were in America with great-grandma?" He stared at his son, trying not to miss a single change in his expression. However, Jerry went blank at first, then he scrambled down the bed and ran out.

He shouted as he ran, "Great-grandma, Samuel is about to beat me! Samuel is about to beat me..."

Looking at Jerry's receding figure, Samuel suddenly recalled a scene her voice echoed in his mind. "Samuel's gonna beat me, Samuel's gonna beat me..." How similar they were.

Jerry slipped into Melody's room as soon as the door opened.

Striding into Melody's room, he began to rummage through the luggage without noticing their opposition.

He found some toys, clothes, shoes, foods and drinks. Then he noticed several photos in the lowest layer. At that moment, Melody anxiously shouted for the first time in her life, "Get your hands off my luggage."

But it was too late, Samuel had seen the picture that was on top.

It was a woman, who was holding a smiling Jerry, riding a merry-go-around in a park.

Her bright smile made Samuel clench his fists.

Melody seized the opportunity to take back the photos and she intended to lock them up as soon as she opened the cabinet. She didn't want Samuel to find the photos of Jane at the bottom.

Samuel was shocked and he stood still, but then he became angry. What a clever woman. She knows it would be much easier for her to see Jerry through Melody. He thought to himself.

Then he saw Melody's new cellphone.

He picked up the new phone he bought her and slid the lock screen.

The only communication app on it was WeChat.

The account name at the top was E. It had to be her, Samuel gritted his teeth in anger.

Then he checked their chat history. It was clear that there were video chats, lasting more than half an hour, every other day.

No wonder she asked me to buy her a better phone. She wanted to launch video chats with Ella! He suddenly realized it.

After Melody had locked the cabinet, she turned around and saw Samuel was checking her cellphone.

"Samuel. You bastard. Don't invade my privacy. It's against the law!"

She took back her phone in a huff. But it was too late, Samuel now knew everything.

During those four years, through video chats, that woman had successfully planned for grandma and Jerry to go abroad and meet her.

"She has no right to see her son since she left him just like that!" Samuel roared in his heart, but the words remained unspoken.

Eventually, Samuel left the old house without saying a word.
