Trapped with a Lawyer

Chapter 16 We Will Have a Little Reunion

He walked out of the bedroom of Ella and Jerry immediately, rushed back into his room, and took a

cold shower.

Ella smiled too when she fed Jerry, thinking about what just happened.

Was that a huge improvement from where she started? If a man is willing to kiss a woman, does it

mean that he is already interested in her?

Ella felt even happier when she thought about that. Her face radiated sweet happiness.

The next morning Samuel got up early to defend a criminal case in court.

Half in a dream, Ella seemingly saw Samuel come into her room and kiss their sleeping son beside her.

Then he gave Ella a kiss on the cheek too, and left the apartment in a hurry.

She grinned stupidly, and kissed Jerry on the cheek. She was so happy now!

At noon, Melody came over. She had come here more often since Jerry was born. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"Ella, is he awake now?" She couldn't wait to rush into the room after changing into slippers.

Ella put her shoes in order, "Granma, slow down! He is awake now. He is playing by himself." Ella

watched Melody jogging towards Jerry, thinking that she should send Jerry to the Shao's family house

when he grew older, and she would go out to work too.

That way, Jerry could spend more time with Melody, and bring her family more happiness.

Melody picked up her dear great-grandson who was waving and stretching to her, and kissed him again

and again, "My dear, great-granma missed you so much."

At this time, Ella's phone started to ring. A stranger was calling. She picked it up and went out of the

bedroom, "Hello?"

"Ella!" A familiar male voice sounded from the other end, but she couldn't recall who it was.

"Who is that?" Her phone barely rang since she quit the entertainment industry.

The voice softly chuckled, "It's me, Sum."

Sum! Ella cried in delight, "Sum, long time no see! Where have you been?" Sum was one of her

college classmates. He once wooed her but failed to win her.

Then they became good friends. Sum even saved her from trouble several times.

But in the recent years he disappeared. He was said to be abroad according to other classmates. All of

his contact information became invalid, and no one had got in touch with him since then.

"I went abroad for a few years, and came back some time ago to start my own company. He spoke

briefly.

Ella nodded, "Alright. Are you back for good?" She sat on the sofa and watched Mrs. Qi busily cooking

lunch in the kitchen.

Sum said bitterly, "I heard that you were married to Samuel." She had married that top international

lawyer. It would appear he was a step late.

He liked Ella for seven years.?When he graduated from the university, he didn't have anything, nor was

he capable of doing anything, So he chose to go abroad to advance himself.

He now came back as a successful man, only to find that his Ella had married someone else and gave

birth to a son.

The news hit him so hard that he almost felt hopeless. He was now running a company of hundreds of

employees. But all of what he did was for her.

It took him more than a month to regain the courage to call her.

And his courage came from what he saw. The other day he spotted Samuel associating with a woman.

Seemingly there was something going on between them. He wondered whether Ella was happy with

Samuel.

Ella didn't know what to say. She was not sure whether Sum still liked her or not. But it had been such

a long time, she guessed he shouldn't have such feelings for her.

"Yes, my son just had his one-month-old birthday." Sum flinched at the happiness in her tune.

After a long while, he asked with a broken heart, "Do you have any spare time this evening? You can

bring your son here, let's have a classmate reunion."

In the evening? Samuel seldomly came back for dinner, and Melody usually went back before dinner. It

should do. She was bored at home anyway.

"Sure, where will we go?"

"Is your Wechat account linked with your phone number? I'll friend you and send you the address."

Sum looked at his reflection in the gym mirror, at his stubbly chin and and long tousled hair. He will

clean himself up before going to meet her. He knew that Ella liked her man to be tidy and sunny. He

would not win her heart if he turned up like a caveman.

"Okay."

"Good, I'll get in touch with you later." Sum hung up the phone in a great mood. He punched at the

sandbag in the gym out of happiness.

Ella added Sum in her Wechat friend list and then she leafed through his Moments. But there was

nothing but a picture of landscape, which was posted two years ago.

She put her cellphone aside and went into the bedroom. Jerry was sleeping now in Melody's arms.

Melody heard Ella answering a phone call. When she saw her come in, she blurted out, "Got any plans

for today?"

Ella was just going to have a dinner with her classmate, so there was no need to hide, "Yes, grandma,

one of my classmates just came back from abroad and we will have a little reunion."

Ella very much wanted to catch up with her old friend, because their relationship used to be very good!

He always gave the impression that he was sunny and?intelligent.

Melody nodded, put the sleeping baby on the bed, and went out with her.

"Will Samuel go with you?" Melody asked casually again.

"I don't think so. He is so busy. He seldomly comes back for dinner. I'll ask the nanny not to cook

tonight. We will have dinner outside." When thinking of Samuel, Ella's heart was filled with sweet

happiness. She was really satisfied that Samuel was willing to take a step forward.

They chatted casually and went to the living room, then Melody told her to go to the hospital for a

reexamination in ten days.

As for the celebration party of Jerry's one-month-old birthday, Melody figured that Jerry was still too

little; they could hold the celebration party when he was 100 days old.

When she asked for Ella's opinion, Ella nodded, "It will do."

In the evening, Ella put a backpack on her back, and took the baby out of the apartment.

Sum was already waiting for her outside the community, she didn't refuse Sum to come and pick her

up, as?she was with Jerry and therefore no one will judge.

There was a new black Mercedes parked in front of the neighborhood, behind which was a man with

short hair. He was wearing a sky-blue shirt, black suit trousers and clean black leather shoes.

When he saw a woman in a yellow coat and white trousers walking out from the front door, he stubbed

out his cigarette and stepped forward.

"It's been a long time, Ella!" Sum gave her a hug, with a big, happy grin on his face, which displayed

his ivory-white teeth.

Because of the baby in her arms, Sum was very careful when he hugged her to make sure that he

didn't accidentally hurt the baby.

"Sum, long time no see! You're so handsome!" Ella gave a rote praise. Indeed, after a few years, Sum

became more mature.

Sum became even happier upon hearing her praise, "Of course. This must be your son, let me look at

him." Sum carefully took Jerry from Ella. He had really mixed feelings when holding that little, soft body

in his arms.
