Trapped with a Lawyer

After the baby fell asleep, Ella put him in the middle of the bed. She piled some quilt along the bed edge in case the baby should turn and fall, then she walked downstairs.

In the kitchen, the maids were still busy working. They completely ignored her when she walked in.

Because of Viola's attitude, the maids did not treat Ella fairly.

Ella knew about their attitudes but she did not say anything. She took out a box of milk from the fridge and pulled some milk into a pot to heat.

One of the maids disagreed and murmured: " I just washed that pot clean..."

Ella was cross, so she turned around and confronted her: "So what? I cannot use the pot you just washed?"

The maid curled her lips and walked away with no more words.

Ella looked at her back and took a deep breath. How come they all treated her in such a nasty way? Wherever she went, she was always neglected.

When Ella carried the warm milk back to the bedroom, Samuel just stepped out of the bathroom.

He was in a piece of gray robe and was drying his short hair with a towel.

"Samuel, I just heated up the milk for you. Please drink it while it is still warm." She carefully walked up to him and held the milk up for him.

Samuel stared at the milk and frowned his eyebrows: "You don't need to do these things. Just leave them to the maids." What he was trying to say was, she was his wife and there was no need for her to do these errands in person.

However, Ella paused, as she thought he did not like her doing these things for him. "Oh, okay!"

Samuel took over the milk and randomly put it on the table next to him. He intended to drink it after he had dried his hair.

Ella mistook his behavior and confirmed that Samuel did not like her doing that for him. She looked at the milk and then cast a sad glance at her sleeping son. Ella felt a little bit down as she walked into the bathroom.

In the bedroom, Ella's phone on the table started ringing.

Samuel drank the milk and picked up the phone. He saw the caller's name and his face was gloomy instantly.
