Trapped with a Lawyer

Chapter 59 It's So Damn Hard To Love Someone

The charity party was held by Harry in Lola's name, and it was themed on wild animal protection.

Ella's heart was like a glass cup that in a moment fell and shattered into thousands of pieces when he

saw Samuel.

This was just the beginning. Later on, Ella always saw Samuel appear on all sorts of entertainment

news with different women.

A few days had passed, and he didn't come back to the old house. And almost every day he would ask

Viola to bring Jerry to the company to see him.

And she also saw him go out on a date with another woman, with her son in his arms.

So now it went viral in the news that Mr. Shao and his wife had divorced. And the photo that he dated

other women while he was holding his son in his arms confirmed the story.

As Viola took Jerry to the company more and more often, she had less time to be with him.

Ella often looked out of the window at the sycamore trees outside, lost and lonely with a weary thought.

Lola called her several times, and sent her many Wechat messages, but she didn't know yet how to

explain the whole situation to her.

Lola was so furious that she even wanted to call Samuel and tell him off on her behalf, but she stopped

her.

She told Lola that it was all her fault, not Samuel's in the least.

Lola had no choice now but to ask her out and speak with her about what had happened.

And Ella agreed. The following day, after Viola left the old house with Jerry, she changed her clothes

and went out of the old house in which she had stayed for such a long time.

The sun was shining bright outside. They met at a cafe.

When she arrived, Lola was already sipping on a coffee.

"The old house is a bit far away, I'm sorry. You must have been waiting for me for a long time." She

looked at the beautiful woman in front of her, who was growing more and more beautiful day by day,

with a little embarrassment.

She was even stunned when Lola smiled at her. Maybe this was what a woman should look like when Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

she was married out of true love!

"No. Tell me about what happened to you." Lola anxiously looked at Ella's pale face.

Ella clenched her coffee cup between her small hands and looked at the big screen outside on the

shopping mall nearby. An Ad for an APP named MoboReader was on play.

It said that they headquartered in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, and that this MoboReader was one of the

most popular distributors of reading content in whole China, and that its core staff came from internet

giants like Baidu, Netdragon, 91, etc. The company operated two major reading APPs: MoboReader

and Android Reading.

Ella watched and read the whole advertisement, and then saw that it switched to the news that Samuel

attended the charity party. Ella winked back the tears, lowered her head, and slowly began telling Lola

about recent events.

When she finished, she took a sip of the tepid coffee in her cup.

Lola didn't know how to comfort her, either: "He will understand eventually! You did it because you

loved him so much and he doesn't understand now!" It's so damn hard to love someone.

Ella shook her head, "I've already told him that. But he didn't understand. And he was furious at me."

Samuel had told her that what he hated most was cheating, and she had now been confirmed of her

guilt.

"Well, we can see that Samuel also cares about you very much. Maybe everything will be okay when

he stops being so angry with you and calms down a bit." Lola held her hands into her own and

comforted her softly.

They talked for a long time, and by the end of their talk Ella felt much better!

When they were almost ready to leave, Lola took out a handbag from under the table and gave it to

her: "Ella, happy birthday to you in advance!"

Ella took the handbag, and remembered that tomorrow was her birthday. She was so upset with all that

had happened that she even forgot her birthday was coming!

"Thanks, Lola, but how did you know that it would be my birthday tomorrow?" Would Samuel know?

She dared not to tell him.

Lola smiled, "You were an actress, and your birth is posted online everywhere. I saw it on Weibo."

Oh! So she knew it, but… "Lola, tomorrow... It's also Emma Gu's birthday." She shared the same birth

date with Emma, Samuel's former girlfriend.

Lola rubbed her forehead. What sort of weird coincidence that was.

"I guess he doesn't even know when my birthday is." Ella smiled bitterly as she spoke these words.

"I can tell him" replied Lola. She could not bear to see her so broken and upset.

Ella shook her head: "No, thanks. We'll see tomorrow if I really mean anything to him." If he indeed felt

that his wife meant something to him, he would know, just like she knew his birthday was in February.

She had also bought him a birthday gift this year, but as she couldn't find him, the gift was thrown away.

Late in the afternoon

Ella drove back to the old house in the BMW Samuel had bought for her.

Before stepping through the door of the old house, she heard people talking and laughing inside the

living room. She heard Viola, and...

And her.

In the living room, Samuel sat lazily on the sofa, with his eyes narrowed, watching Viola and Emma

playing with his son.

Jerry grinned cutely at Emma.

The air froze as she entered the room.

Samuel had brought his mistress to their home. Was he trying to swagger around in this decadent

manner?

"Mother." said Ella. With her broken heart, she took her son from Emma's arms.

Viola scolded her in discontent: "Emma is our distinguished guest. Where are your manners!" Don't you

even know how to say hello?"

... Guest of honor, how honored? Ella stood silently and dumbfounded.

The man on the sofa slowly closed his eyes when he saw entering the room.

He didn't even want to see her face, even though he'd already tried ignoring her as much as possible.

She didn't want to stay here not even for a split second. As she carried her son up on the first stept of

the staircase, a voice was heard shouting: "Stop!" Samuel's cold voice made her stop.

"Don't you see mom is having fun with my kid? Bring him back here."

Ella chewed on her lower lip in utter embarrassment. It was so humiliating to hear him say words like

that.

She handed her son back to the livid Viola: "Mother. It's so kind of you." Then she went upstairs

defeated, and alone.

She didn't step too far, and Viola and Emma continued at once to talk and laugh back at one another in

the living room.

She even heard Viola say: "I'll soon let Sam divorce and you can come here earlier and stay longer."

"Mrs. Shao..." Emma's coquettish voice made Ella want to cry rivers.

Now she knew there was definitely no place for her in this house anymore.

It was quiet upstairs. She knocked at Melody's door but she wasn't in her room. Grandmother hadn't

come back at home. Ella returned to her bedroom.

Her son was always away from home these days, and it was really boring and sad for her to be alone.

Ella considered whether she should get a job or not.

Lying in bed, bored, she stared at the phone in her hand, opened an APP and looked for some suitable

job for her.

Her phone rang. It was Sum who was calling her, with whom she hadn't got in touch for ages.

"Hi, Sum!" She tried to make her voice sound as normal and casual as possible.

But Sum still sensed something was wrong with her. He felt sorry for Ella when he saw Samuel with

other women on TV.
