Trapped with a Lawyer

Indeed, money is never the issue for them.

Both Harry and Samuel were wealthy, therefore they wouldn't have an issue in the future.

"Since my husband is rich, I should make use of his money and have several gigolos for fun?" Lola remarked and the room erupted in laughter. The mood was finally light and happy. Ella gave Daniel a strawberry toy that was beside him, but he threw it away with a disgusted look on his face.

Ella was surprised by the boy's sudden move and thought it to be rather cool.

"I agree" Harry mused.

"Since we are planning our children's futures, I might as well give birth to a daughter that Daniel can marry?" Ella remarked, holding Daniel tightly in her arms.

Samuel looked at Ella, an evil glint in his eye. Ella looked up at Samuel, and her body visibly sank into the sofa as if to make herself look smaller. She knew all too well what that look symbolised- "the punishment."

Lola noticed this interaction and moved closer to Ella. "What is it? Why is he looking at you like that? Will everything be okay?" She wanted to find out if Ella will be okay. She didn't like what was happening.

With Jerry in his arms, Samuel stood up and put Daniel in Lola's arms. Then he placed his son where Daniel was. He caught Ella by the elbow and prompted her to stand up.

"Thanks for taking care of my wife and son these past few days. We'll go home now." And with that, they walked towards Samuel's car.

Lola was about to object but Harry held up his hand to stop her. Lola succumbed and escorted them to their car. Standing by the main door, Harry, Lola and their children looked on as Samuel and his family entered their car. Ella looked back at Lola and said, "I'll call you tomorrow. Thank you."

"Okay! You are more than welcome to come here if you want. My door is always open." After saying those words, Lola waved them off.

Ella pulled down the window and responded. "Of course! Goodbye."

"Bye!" said Lola.

Both husbands were angry with this new development, Samuel more so than Harry.

They are annoyed by the fact that their wives are more close to each other than to them.
