Trapped with a Lawyer

Chapter 9 I Have Something to Ask You

Emma gently rubbed her temples, sitting on an armchair.

She knew this afternoon that Samuel went to the old house. Even though it was night, there was no

sign that he would come back.

She also knew that his wife was at the old house, too. She could not give that woman and Samuel any

chance to get along.

So she went out for a drink deliberately so as to force him to come back.

She was so vulnerable just now. Why didn't he want her? Was it because he minded that she was not a

virgin anymore?

The year when she was 17, Samuel's uncle forced her. Samuel saved her accidentally, but it was still

too late.

Emma staggered into the bedroom and closed her eyes, thinking what she was going to do. Should I

let Samuel go?'

The next day.

Samuel went to the court for an international fraud case. As for Ella Bo, she walked to the mall, slowly

and alone.

The baby had so many clothes that Samuel's grandma bought for it. She just needed to buy some baby

aprons, little socks and such.

With one foot into the baby's area, her cell phone rang. 'Who would call me?'

She sat on the bench nearby and took her cell phone out.

It was a stranger. "Hello!"

"Ella Bo?" A cold voice came out of the cell phone. If she got it right, that was Emma.

Ella Bo looked at the call that was got through. Such a bummer!

"What can I do for you?" She looked at a black tie on a male model nearby, which had dark striped

pattern. "That would be very handsome on Samuel." She thought.

Emma listened to the calm voice. Actually, she didn't care about her attitude at all, "Do you know where

Samuel went later that night?"

Ella Bo knew, of course, "When my husband picked up the call, I was in his arms. Of course I know

where he went!"

Emma clenched the cigarette in her hand, "Alright. But it was me who was in his arms after midnight!"

She deliberately made that sound sweet.

"So what? You are just a mistress! Aren't you?" A mistress was deemed to be scorned forever.

Emma smiled. "Mistress? Did he even touch you again, after you became pregnant?" My question was

simple, but if that woman thought too much, it was not me who was to blame.'

Ella Bo frowned. "What does that mean?" Was she telling her Samuel's physical desire these months

was taken care of by her, Emma?

"We've got so much time ahead of us. If you are willing to be a mistress for life, that's fine for me." Ella

Bo hung up the phone. "This woman, Emma, was such a bummer!" She thought.

When the call was hung up, Emma's face was distorted with fury. Ella Bo's mind raced swiftly. "Emma

called me. It's not as simple as all that!"

After lunch, Ella Bo was walking in the dining room for several circles to digest, while Melody was

reading today's newspaper.

Suddenly, the door was opened. Ella Bo saw Samuel coming in. "Why does he come back now?" She

had no idea.

"Grandma!" Samuel greeted Melody wearing a poker face. Melody glanced at him and nodded.

When Ella Bo was about to greet him, Samuel turned his cloudy face to her.

"Go upstairs. I have something to ask you." After saying this, he dragged her by the arm and went

directly upstairs.

"Why, what are you doing, Samuel? Ella's pregnant, go slower." Melody put down the newspaper and

came along.

Seeing these two quarreling, her heart pounded.

Samuel lifted her up, looking at the old woman behind him, " Are you satisfied now?"

Seeing this, Melody did look satisfied. She covered her smiling mouth and sat back to the sofa.

"These two kids are really getting along. Good sign!" Melody thought.

Ella Bo put her hands around his neck in fear of falling down accidentally. She was not silly. Seeing

Samuel's depressed face, she absolutely knew that Samuel didn't come back out of his love.

Samuel took Ella Bo into the room and locked it.

When he turned his head back, a bag showed up in her hand. She looked at Samuel happily, "Sam, I

bought this tie for you today. Check it out. Do you like it?"

She took a delicate box out of the bag and opened it. It was a tie with dark striped pattern. She hoped

he'd like it. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The box was hit to the ground with a slap by Samuel. Suddenly, a tie dropped out.

Looking at that tie, Ella Bo's face turned pale. 'This was the first gift I ever bought him. Look how that

turned out.' She thought to herself.

Samuel took a look at the tie on the ground and then at this pale woman. He felt a kind of uneasiness.

But he thought of the thing this morning and got angry, "Emma just called you to say goodbye. Why did

you say that to hurt her?"

Ella Bo moved her eyes to Samuel and said calmly, "What did I say?"

Called for a goodbye? What, he bought that?

Samuel looked at her calm face, "Why did you ask me? Don't you know yourself?" He raised his voice

and his face was filled with anger.

This was the first time for Ella Bo to see Samuel in such rage. What did Emma actually say?

"Was it because I called her a mistress? Or because I said I was in your arms last night?" She asked

calmly.

Hearing Ella Bo say mistress, his face turned more gloomy, "Why the hell did you say Emma was a

mistress? This is slander. You could be sued, you know that?" He looked at this woman in front of him

coldly.

"Oh, so she isn't? She was in your arms last night, too, wasn't she? I said nothing wrong!" She was

getting more and more emotional.

"What are you talking about? Ella Bo, if there is a mistress between you two, that should be you!" What

Samuel said was like a knife, stabbing at Ella Bo's heart.

Yes! If she hadn't slept with Samuel, she wouldn't have gotten pregnant and married him, and Emma

wouldn't have been involved.

Seeing Ella Bo's face turning pale, Samuel could not bear it. But he couldn't help saying, "You told

Emma to die? How could you! You even said that I loved you. To be honest, I will love anyone except

you!" The man laughed in contempt.

Ella Bo laughed, too. 'Emma was good at making Samuel believe her. For sure, if I said the truth, he

wouldn't believe me. So I might not bother to explain!' Ella thought.

"How could I not know how scheming you are when I was with you, Ella Bo!" He scoffed in a cold voice,

but the woman kept silent.

Samuel flew into a rage. He grabbed her wrist and said, "What do you mean by acting dumb?"

He came to confront her and she was embarrassed by that fact? Embarrassed by the bad thing she

had done?
