Trapped with a Lawyer

Samuel felt happier after seeing the comments below his and Ella's first post on Weibo. In those comments, people all hoped they could restore their marriage.

As a matter of fact, their divorce settlement never went into effect. So they were still legally married couple.

So he had sex with his wife just as in the old days.

The doorbell rang again, yanking him out of his dream-like state. It was the delivery guy.

He had ordered lots of food such as pizza, hamburger, spaghetti for lunch. After unpacking the food, he went to the bedroom. Seeing Ella was sound sleep, he smiled with satisfaction. 'Ella, you will not escape from me for the rest of your life. If you want to play this game, I will play it with you', he thought.

"Ella."

Samuel called her gently. However, Ella was still asleep.

At this moment, she was in a dream. She dreamt that she was on an international stage with the crowd casting admiring and envious eyes on her.

Among the crowd, there was Samuel, adoring her. She felt happy.

Then suddenly, Samuel rushed towards her and shouted, "Ella, my wife."

She felt her heartbeat quicken as he approached, "I am not your wife." They had divorced along time ago.

Though half-asleep, she could not accept him. Samuel knew she was in a dream, so he had to let her sit up and lean against him.

"Ella, wake up. It's time for lunch." His words and actions did not rouse her. Instead, she found a cozy place for her head on his arm and continued to sleep.

There was no way to wake her up so he lowered his head, kissing and touching her. She finally woke up two minutes later.

She opened her eyes and saw Samuel's face close to hers. It was a handsome face. Slightly frowning, she complained gracefully, "Samuel, am I that annoying to you that you wouldn't let me sleep?" She was too sleepy to do any thing.

Samuel smiled. How could she be annoying to him? Even though she made mistakes, he still loved her.

He carried her into the living room and laid her on the sofa. Ella woke up fully.

"Eat!" He pushed the food on the table towards her and ladled some soup for her.

She did not have an appetite because she was so sleepy.

"Ella, forget about sleeping. I will join you in bed after we have lunch." Samuel took up a disposable spoon, dipped it in some soup, and placed it close to her lips.

Ella opened her mouth reflexively. The salty, warm seafood soup slid into her stomach.

It was quite delicious. "Where did you get these?" Samuel continued to feed the soup to Ella. She enjoyed the special service. Then she saw the pizza and reached out to grab a piece.

When she reached for the pizza, Samuel patted her hand abruptly.

"Go and wash your hands first."

She curled her upper lip in a show of discontentment.

Samuel seemed to know what Ella was thinking. He set the bowl of soup before her and went to wash his hands.

When he came back, he saw Ella eat soup lazily.

He took up a piece of pizza and fed it to Ella.

"I want to eat this! This one! And this one..." Samuel was patient enough to feed her all the types of food that she chose.

Twenty minutes later, Ella ate and drank to her satisfaction. She hardly left Samuel anything to eat.

After finishing her food, she put a spoonful of food and placed it on his lips. Imitating his tone, she said, "Eat!"

With a smile, Samuel ate all the food that Ella fed to him.

In the middle of feeding each other, Samuel suddenly looked at her with passionate eyes. His ardent eyes made Ella think that she had not wiped her mouth or there were some rice grains on her lips. So she put down the spoon and wiped her mouth with a napkin.

During the process, Samuel pulled himself from the chair to the sofa beside her, "I don't want to eat any more."

Ella leaned back as he moved towards her.

"Then don't eat. But why are you staring at me like that?" She blinked, her heart skipping a beat.

No matter how she hated Samuel, she just couldn't resist his charm.

"I want to eat... you." He kissed her as soon as he finished his words.

Again, Samuel threw himself onto her and satisfied his desires.

Oh, dear! She figured out why he came to her. He had strong sexual desires, and Catherine could not satisfy him. Before bedtime, Samuel forced her to take the pills prescribed by the doctor. Then he carried her to the bedroom.

Cuddling up against each other, they fell asleep.

After 6 pm, Samuel woke up. He kissed Ella's forehead, sat up and switched on his phone.

Then he got off the bed and gently closed the door of bedroom and went to the living room. He checked his Weibo profile again. Demands for their get-together continued to gather momentum. After logging off, he called Harry.

"Harry, please help me and let Ella work at your company in C Country."

He wanted to stay with her. And the first step was to bring her near him. America was so far away that he could not protect or be with her.

Harry put down the pen in his hand and leaned back in his office chair, "You want her to come back? I have a better suggestion. You two should marry again once for all."

Harry would love to let Ella work in his company, but he was confused about Samuel wanting her to do so.

Marry her again? Samuel smiled, "I need to teach her a lesson for leaving me for four years." He knew Ella hated him at that moment and would not marry him again. He did not want to lose face before Harry, so he said that.

"Wow, you are really good at playing tricks with your relationship. Aren't lawyers boring and joyless? Why are you so different?" Harry put his feet on the desk and crossed his legs. Since he and Lola settled down, he had gotten accustomed to making jokes.

Leaning against the sofa, staring at bedroom door, Samuel replied, "I have no choice but to act like this. You know, you and Chuck are boring and humorless. So Eason and I have to act like clowns to complement you two. To make a perfect match you know?"

Perfect match? "Screw you! I'm heterosexual. You really think you are humorous? If so, how do you explain that a dozen of your assistants have left their jobs?" Harry replied with a teasing smile. The time after Anna left her position, before Molly was employed, Samuel was ill-tempered. No less than ten new assistants resigned from his office.

Samuel also recalled the period when Ella left him. The more he recalled these memories, the more he wanted to get her to C Country.

"If you want to be invited to our wedding party ASAP, you should hurry up and hire her." He would compensate Ella with a big wedding party just as he promised her four years earlier.

On the other side of the phone, Harry burst into laughter when Jane came to his mind. Lola had told him about Jane. He was to keep her a secret and not tell Samuel under any circumstances.

"Samuel, it's now your turn to taste the misery that I have suffered years ago. I am looking forward to see how you react. Hahahahaha!" He was eager to see Samuel's reaction when he found out the truth.
