Trapped with a Lawyer

Melody was not pleased with Paul but she did not show her feelings on her face. After all, he was her relative. However, when she saw Emma by his side, she couldn't maintain her smile.

"Paul, how could you..." Before she could condemn him, Paul pushed Emma forward. It was obvious the young woman was embarrassed. She handed out the gift to Melody.

"Melody, Happy Birthday!" Emma knew that Melody disliked her, so she didn't try to feign enthusiasm.

She was right about Melody. In fact, Melody did not want the gift at first. However, on this wonderful day, it wasn't a good idea to disappoint people, so she accepted it.

"Thank you. That is very kind of you. Paul, I want to remind you that although Samuel and Ella have divorced, to me, Ella is still and will always be my granddaughter-in-law!" Melody's statement provoked intense discussion among the people. 'Was Ella so perfect that even her divorce to Samuel could not change Melody's mind?' they wondered.

Paul smiled, without any embarrassment or disgrace,"Yes, grandma. If you want her to be your granddaughter-in-law, then she is. We are satisfied as long as you are happy!" To Paul, Emma was now his girlfriend, so he didn't care about Samuel or Ella at all.

Suddenly, Melody's former colleague yelled,"Hey, isn't that Samuel?"

Everybody turned. Right there in front of the door was Samuel, with Jerry in his arms and Catherine in a purplish dress, standing next to him.

Samuel had taken Jerry to Eason's Youmi Studio and had had the boy's hair styled and his clothes fitted. The little boy was in a black suit and a white shirt with a black tie. A handsome little gentleman indeed! The well-behaved boy was carried into the room in his father's arms.

Meanwhile, Emma stared at Catherine beside Samuel. Their unexpected engagement had startled her.

Her little sister seemed to be in love with Samuel. But when did this happen? How had she failed to notice it?

Was her sister innocent or was she a hypocrite?

Catherine, noticing Emma, turned her head and looked at her. In her eyes, there was implied complacency.

While the two sisters were making eye contact, Jerry jumped down from Samuel's arms and rushed towards the crowd. He was looking for Melody.

He stopped in front of Melody and cheerfully said,"Happy Birthday, great grandma!" taking a piece of folded paper out of his pocket, opening it and handing it over to her.
