No Escape From Mr. CEO's Dangerous Love

Chapter 559

Ella was in the hallway, talking to Eason on the phone.

"… I'm good… Eason you should work and and make more money. Who knows? If one day I'm running low, I'll need you to get my back! … I was just kidding!" Ella bowed her head slightly and kicked her right foot playfully around in the air.

Failing to notice a pair of eyes gazing intently at her, Ella continued talking with Eason. "I'll definitely take Jerry to France when I have the time.. He's in Chuck's office. I'm on the road now. OK, bye, Eason."

After she hung up the phone. Ella stared down at the blank screen. If Samuel ever really did leave her one day, at least she could count on her brother. This thought brought her great relief.

After dazing off for a few minutes. Ella turned around and headed for the hospital exit. A man, suddenly stepped in front of her. He had been leaning against the wall watching her.

Where did this man come from?

After looking over each other for a few seconds, Ella briefly greeted Chuck before walking towards the elevator.

Samuel also followed behind. She felt him closing in as he walked out of the hospital entrance. Ella walked straight out of the hospital and down the road. Watching her carefully, Samuel hopped in his car and drove after her.

Samuel's Porsche slowly pulled up beside her and the passenger window rolled down. "Ella, get in the

car." Ella felt that she could not defy his command.

However, Ella had no intention of getting in the car. She walked on in silence.

Just as Samuel voice was beginning to rise, Ella hailed a cab.

Watching the cab disappear, Samuel pounded the steering wheel with his fists. How dare you! Ella. You were the one who messed up! Do you feel no shame?

Ella told the taxi driver to take her to the old house. She was planning to see Melody and Jerry.

Half way to the house, she remembered the cut on her hand. How was she going to explain it to grandma?

Could she tell her the truth? No. She didn't want to worry her any further.

Ella walked up the front door and rang the door bell. Jerry was driving a little toy car, and Melody was playfully chasing after him.

Noticing something off in Ella, Melody stopped playing at once, and went to her in a hurry.

"Ella, what happened to you?" Melody noticed the bandages on Ella's hand and wondered what had happened to her.

Sensing the anxiety from Melody, Ella felt a tightness in her throat. "Don't worry grandma I just hurt it while cleaning up a broken glass." She had told a half truth..

"You silly girl. What are you doing cleaning up broken glass. That is what servants are for. Why would you do that yourself? Or… did Samuel bully you?" Suddenly Melody appeared very grave. Ella felt herself quiver.

Ella threw on a pleasant face. "Don't worry grandma, Samuel is always nice to me. It's just a little cut." She wrapped her arm around Melody's then walked over towards Jerry and his little car.

Melody followed and squeezed Ella's hand gently. "Ella, what happened yesterday?"

Ella pull her hand free and picked Jerry up. Trying to conceal her nervousness, she began to make up an alibi. "I was with a friend all day and my phone was powered off. I'm sorry grandma, but I didn't have the charger." Ella found it difficult to pick up her son with an inured hand, but succeeded and kissed him on the cheek.

Finally, she could see her son again.

"Mom…" Melody wanted to question Ella further. However, distracted by Jerry's sudden calling, she dropped the topic.

She would just ask her another day. "Jerry has been calling for his mom all day, he's been worried about you too…"

Ella held the boy tightly, she had missed him so much. Though it had only been a few days. If the divorce went through, she really might not see him again for a long time..

"Jerry, say mom again.." They walked into the living room, teasing the little boy.

At Samuel's Law Firm

After arriving at the office, the first thing Samuel did was ask Anna to call Catherine over.

Ten minutes passed by.

Catherine opened the heavy wooden door to Samuel's office with her heart beating rapidly. Samuel was looking out of the French window with his back to her.

The sun shone through the blinds. Samuel looked glorious in the golden light.

"Miss Reynolds, how long have you been at my law firm?" Only a few seconds had passed before Samuel had broken the silence.

Catherine's face went pale. She didn't know what he was driving at.

"About seven years!" One several occasions she had had the opportunity to travel back and forth to Dreles, Ascea and Uthana with Samuel and Harry. Though of course, her chances to talk to Samuel had been very few indeed.

She had watched her cousin and him together from a distance, feeling so envious...

"I want you to find a better job." He looked at Catherine indifferently. She seemed stunned, unable to believe what she had just heard. Samuel though back to when Catherine first came to the firm with Emma.

Catherine had no idea what to say. She suddenly realized, "Are you threatening me for Ella?"

Samuel took out a cigarette, stuck it between his lips and lit it slowly. This movement won Catherine's heart again.

Catherine couldn't help but admire the coolness of the man.

"You could think of it that way if you want." He let the smoke slowly rise from his mouth.

Catherine could no longer restrain herself. "It was Ella who hired people to beat me. If I hadn't called you, I might have been… raped… How can you cover for her like this? Samuel.. Have you no honor?" Catherine felt a tear flow down her cheek.

She felt amazed and disgusted that Samuel would go to such lengths to protect Ella.

"This had nothing to do with covering for Ella. That is not the point. The point is that she was arrested and jailed for two days because of you. Besides, you're fine. We can settle this privately. You don't need to press charges." Until the ink dried on their divorce contract, Samuel would not allow anyone to hurt his wife. Except for himself, that is..

No matter what kind of person she was, he would teach her a lesson. It was none of other people's business.

After the divorce he would cease to care about what happened to Ella.

"How can you keep protecting her? You know my cousin's been waiting for you. Aren't you at least

worried about what might happen to her?" Catherine couldn't help mentioning Emma. Samuel could be her man or Emma's man. But Ella was not an option. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Samuel flicked the ash, holding the cigarette between his fingers. Catherine's words made him lost in deep thought.

"I've told her that it's over. You should help persuade her to find a better man." As long as he was still married, Samuel didn't even want to think about other women.

Catherine felt her knees shaking, but summoned the courage to blurt out, "Mr. Lowell, if you ever divorce Ella some day… Would you consider me?"

Her voice was quiet and timid, but enough for Samuel to hear clearly.

She was holding out on a prayer that without Emma in the picture, maybe Samuel could fall for her.

But Samuel had only ever had room for two women in his heart, and Catherine wasn't one of them. Now with Emma no longer inside it, it seemed there was only room for one. Ella.
