Ella didn't say a word. She just picked up her phone, which was near her, and distracted herself with it.
"Ella, what can I do to make you trust again?" Samuel asked, his voice dripping with worry. He wanted to slap himself on the face, 'Samuel, why did you ntion her? Now how will you explain it?'
Samuel's words, however, didn't make Ella happier. She answered coldly, "You don't need to explain. That's your business. I have no right to bla you even if you slept in the sa room as her." 'Samuel and I are divorced. How can I bla him?' thought Ella.
As an intelligent lawyer, Samuel ca up with a wise answer quickly, "Of course you have the right. We aren't divorced. Even though we both signed the divorce papers, the agreent didn't take effect."
'Huh? What does he an by that?' Ella was puzzled by Samuel's excitent.
"It didn't take effect?"
"No. I didn't send it to the bureau of civil affairs, so it's not valid. We have never divorced and you are still my wife." Samuel answered, looking giddy like a small child who was getting candy.
Ella was astounded and dropped her phone on her lap.
'I'm still Samuel's wife? We aren't divorced?'
Samuel's reply surprised Ella, making her exhilarated, astonished and excited, all at the sa ti. Her eyes were brimming with tears because of the unexpected truth.
'Does this an that Samuel has always loved ?' Ella wondered.
"I'm innocent. If I had lived with Catherine, then it would have been marital infidelity, which is illegal. I'm a lawyer. I will never break the law. Please trust on this." Samuel planned to tell Ella the truth in the future when he proposed to her again, but because of what his friends had done, he had to disclose the truth or risk losing her forever.
Ella nodded, repeatedly. Now she knew that Samuel's love had never changed. She embraced Samuel, but unconsciously used her wounded arm.
"Ouch!" The pain forced Ella to put her arm down.
Sympathetically, Samuel blew onto her bandaged arm. They both knew her pain would not subside because of his blowing, but Samuel didn't stop. Ella found h
“Let's go and register our marriage on your birthday!”
Marrying Daniel should have been her best birthday gift, but everything was ruined the mont when she caught him sleeping with another woman on the day before her birthday.
“He’s going to marry that woman! She... was my best friend!"
" asked Viola. "Shooting a film must be tiring. You can stay at ho. Wouldn't it be much better to have another baby?"
Ella flushed at once.
"That's a good idea, Mum..." Samuel answered before Ella could say a word. "... I also want a second child." Samuel continued happily, without any sign of shyness.
Ella gave Samuel a stare and explained herself, "Mum, we have just restored our relations, and I signed a contract with Harry's company a few days earlier. It's not the best ti to quit. But when the ti is right, I will think about it."
Ella didn't want a baby now. If they really wanted a new mber in the family, she would tell them that Jane was Samuel's daughter.
'Yes. That's a good idea, ' Ella made up her mind.
"Fine. It's all up to you and Samuel. We'll let you two decide." Viola replied, albeit slightly disappointed. Viola didn't know that Jane was her granddaughter, but she didn't try changing Ella's mind.
They already had Jerry, a sweet grandson.
lody knew that Jane was Samuel's daughter, so she wasn't eager for a new mber of the family as well.
'What's more, Ella and Samuel have restored their relations, there is nothing to worry about, ' thought lody.
"Thank you, Mum."
They continued chatting for a while. Then Vincent and Viola went to work. Samuel also went ho to change his clothes before going to work.
In the ward, lody accompanied Ella.
