Trapped with a Lawyer

Lashed by his family, Eason indignantly responded with one hand on his chest, "You four gang up on me. Hey buddy, say something!" Eason turned to Samuel with an expectant look on his face. Samuel totally ignored him, "I'm not on your side this time." The two elders were extremely satisfied with his words.

Jenny glared at her desperate son, "If you are not married in three months, we will only have a son called Samuel and a daughter, Ella."

Ella looked at Jenny in surprise. She remembered that when she had her son, her mom was still rather dissatisfied with Samuel. Since when did she start to take him as her own son?

Maybe it was just as what the ancient proverb said: for a mother-in-law, the more time she spends with her son-in-law, the more satisfied with him she becomes.

Eason beat Samuel on his back. "Buddy, take good care of my parents, I am going away."

"Pa!" Jenny pressed the chopsticks on the table with such force that Eason and Ella suddenly trembled with fear.

Mom was angry. How terrible!

Samuel said leisurely, "Filial piety is mandated by law. If it is serious, you could be found guilty of abandonment. According to Article 261 of our Criminal Law, abandonment is punishable by prison sentence."

Feeling speechless, Eason turned his eyes to Samuel, ?who was still as calm as ever.

"Abandonment? I just don't want to get married. How is refusing to get married a crime?"?

"Sure it is. No marriage. No children. It's unfilial. Mom and Dad, you can prosecute him, and Samuel will be your lawyer." said Ella.

Jenny clapped her hands, "That's it. Go on."

"Ella..." said Eason with a threatening tone. Feeling cornered, he decided to fight his way out by picking on the weak link

Samuel also cut in, "According to Article 293 of China's Criminal Law, a person, who commits threat, abuse, assault and so on, shall face maximum five-years jail time. You're threatening my wife. I can turn five years into a decade."

"Ha ha ha ha." Amused by the Samuel's serious tone, everyone laughed, save for the stunned Eason.

It was very warm and happy around the table. As long as the family felt happy, Eason didn't mind being teased by Samuel.

It was after eight o 'clock in the evening. Because Eason and Samuel were drinking, Ella had to drive them to the Storm.

When they arrived at the room, Eason had the urge to rush out.

Harry and Lola sat close, looking extremely intimate. Chuck and Daisy didn't say anything to each other. Even so, they could also be counted as a couple.

And there were also his sister and his brother-in-law, who were holding each other's arms. Eason felt a strong urge to turn back and walk outside.

He said before leaving, "You three couples are killing me!"

"You can be one of us too" What Harry said provoked Eason into taking out a phone. He was going to call some beautiful girls to make these married guys envious. After greetings, the three couples took their seats.

They sat in pairs in the beginning. But later, the three girls sat together by the call of Lola.

All three women were outgoing and friendly. They kept chatting together as they shared a lot of common topics.

Glancing sideways at the woman who was talking passionately with Lola and Ella, Chuck disdainfully pursed his lips, thinking the woman was so good at being sociable.

When Eason and Samuel were playing a?drinking game, a waiter opened the door, and a woman followed behind him.

The woman had a perfect face that was slightly made-up, with a perfect chin. She wore a whiteshirt, a black skirt and a black coat. She looked mature and charming, but the expression on her face was not very happy.

"Sis Anna." Ella was a little surprised, Samuel glanced at Eason who was standing up to greet the woman, and roughly figured out what was going on.

Anna smiled a little when she saw Ella. "Ella." She went toward Ella.

But her arm was held by Eason, "Guys, allow me to introduce..."

The other three men looked at him with disdain. The woman was a special assistant of Samuel and everybody knew that.

"This is Anna. Today she is my girl"

He had hardly finished when a heel stamped on his black leather shoe.

Eason was in too much pain to speak for quite a while. The other people were gloating over the defeated guy. As a playboy, he failed unexpectedly this time.

Anna didn't answer him, and instead chose to sit next to Ella. While being introduced by Ella, Anna politely shook hands with Daisy and Lola.

Looking at the smiling woman, Eason felt surprised, as Anna didn't strike her as the type who can smile. But this woman was so unlovely. That's a bad move on Eason's part. He shouldn't have threatened her to come here.

He sat back sulkily, and kept drinking with Chuck.

The atmosphere was good. What's more, the three chattering women seemed extremely excited. Following their lead, the usually cold and aloof Anna also talked a bit.

Samuel stared at Ella whose face turned red with excitement. It was what she really looked like, and he always knew that.

She was twittering like a little girl and laughing out loud. But she also could be a bit stubborn when she encountered different opinions.

Eason initiated a WeChat group where the eight people were added. Initially, Anna did not want to join in, but she finally gave in when she saw Ella was very happy to tell her how to join the group.

All eight people's nicknames were changed by Eason. For instance, Harry: Lola's boy. Lola: Harry's girl.

Of course, Anna's nickname was changed to: Eason's girl.

There were only three people who had issues with this: Anna, Chuck and Daisy!

However, they didn't say anything.

"Chuck, when's the wedding?" Harry asked. Soothing music was playing in the room.

But the question reminded Samuel. He came to realize that he had been so negligent that he didn't even give his woman a wedding or a ring.

Ella also heard his question. After a pause, she continued to add Daisy on her WeChat.

The wedding was not so important to Ella. As long as Samuel accepted and loved her, other things didn't matter.

"I don't know." Chuck only said three words. Actually, he was not lying. His grandfather took full charge of the wedding. He didn't ask anything about that.

Daisy clicked on the phone's screen with her head down, making it hard to see the look on her face.

Harry glanced sideways at Samuel who seemed to be lost in his thoughts. This time Eason directly said, "Samuel, you owe my sister a wedding!" His tone was rather critical. Ella was deeply rattled by her brother's statement. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
