Trapped with the Lawyer - Chapter 202 Sweetheart

“None of this is for you.” Samuel responded to Ella’s budding eyes as she savoured the sight of the food and licked her lips. Samuel rang the lunch bell beside the bed and asked the nurse to bring in Ella’s lunch.

“I don’t want to eat a sick meal, it’s really awful…” Ella protested softly but in vain. She was so depressed.

Samuel gave her a charming smile to soothe her. It worked so well that Ella immediately accepted it without any complaint. Although they had been married for a long time, Samuel seldom showed such a charming smile.

Therefore, Ella’s heart was captured by him very easily.

“You will recover faster if you eat the sick meal now, and then you will be able to enjoy the delicious meal sooner, okay?” How could she eat something delicious before the wound had properly healed and her body, fully recovered?

What a lovely little fool she was!

Ella nodded and agreed because what Samuel had said, sounded reasonable, “Well, then, I’ll have the sick meal.”

“Good girl! Darling, when you leave the hospital, I will take you out for a delicious meal.” He caressed her long silky hair, lovingly.

This affectionate gesture delighted Melody. As she was eating, she swallowed the green vegetables in her mouth and then began to joke, “Come on, you two love-birds.”

Her voice made Ella realise that her grandmother was still in the ward. She immediately shied away from Samuel’s touch, picked her phone and pretended to look at it.

“My dear grandmother, couldn’t you have pretended not to see us?” Samuel asked, a playful undertone to his voice. He adjusted Ella’s bed to the right height and went to the bathroom.

“Even if I pretend, it’s hard for me not to hear. You two are so sweet and you keep calling her ‘Darling’ and ‘Sweetheart’.” Melody didn’t realise that “Sweetheart” was her own addition as she innocently watched Samuel washing towels in the bathroom.

Her words made Ella almost choke with her own saliva, “Grandma, you must be mistaken. Samuel never called me ‘Sweetheart’!”

‘Who knew which other woman he had referred to with those endearing words?’ Ella thought angrily.

Samuel came

It all starts on that fateful night.

When Ella, who is the dear sister of Samuel’s best buddy, sneaks into the hotel where the drunken Samuel resides and gets pregnant…

“I don’t want a divorce!”

“I don’t want a divorce!”

“I did no such thing!”

Ella jumped on the bed and cried out. “I don’t want a scheming woman as my wife. Just sign the paper…

She had sent a lot of money to his organisation before, and he hadn’t delivered results and still wanted more money.

“Mr. Fuller, you know I’ve been in a bit of trouble recently and three million is too much. Could you lower the price a little bit?” Not only had her whole family denounced her, but her reputation had been ruined by Ella.

In the last few days, she had interviewed with several law firms but had not been accepted. She suspected that Ella had a part to play in this.

“Too much money? Miss Gu, do you know that someone has started investigating my organisation because of you? If anyone finds out anything suspicious, we’ll all be in trouble!” The price of three million was a preferential price. The reason for the discount was that Catherine had sent tens of millions to his organisation before.

“Because of me?” Catherine wondered who could doubt her, for she had always handled everything so thoroughly. Could it be…

“And according to the news I’ve received, Amber woke up at the hospital.”

“What? Did she say anything?” Catherine’s voice trembled, “Has Samuel ever been there?”

If Samuel had asked Amber, he would have known what she had done. It’s all over!

Abbot Fuller nodded, “Samuel met Amber shortly after she woke up.”

Catherine stood up from her seat in terror, and all the guests nearby looked at her. Realizing her gaffe, Catherine quickly calmed down and sat back again.
