In the flower garden.
Melody Han took out a wet tissue for Ella. "Wipe your sweat with this. Pregnant women cannot tolerate hot weather." While saying those words, she fetched out a wet tissue from a melon tray.
"Grandma, thanks for the watermelon." The two of them stayed in the old house, while the servants were out to buy vegetables. Ella felt much better after wiping her sweat off her cheeks.
Melody Han made a gesture to show didn't mind and said, "It is very easy to cut up a watermelon. The watermelon is so sweet!"
Ella responded with a nod of approval and placed the remaining peel down. When she was ready to pick up another slice, she heard somebody remark, "Don't you know that pregnant women shouldn't eat too much watermelon?"
Ella and her grandma turned around at the same time. They saw Samuel at the door in a white T-shirt.
At this moment, he, with a gloomy face, was staring at Ella who was subconsciously protecting her stomach.
Being pleasantly surprised for a while, Ella was scared into putting the melon in her hands back on the tray immediately.
Melody Han made a long face for a minute. With a hint of sarcasm in her voice, Melody Hand said, "I even forgot I have a grandson, too!"
Poor Ella! Though Samuel rarely kept her company, she never complained.
Worse, Samuel had the nerve to appear on the entertainment news with that woman, Emma!
The number of people who wanted to dig up Samuel's personal business increased, as his fame rose. Some news was unexpectedly exposed in public yesterday.
In particular, the provoking headline – "Golden Layer has an affair with Editor-in-Chief Emma, when he has a pregnant wife at home."
Ella got so upset upon receiving that news, that Melody Han was at a loss for how to comfort her.
Even so, Ella still felt pleasantly surprise the moment she saw Samuel today.
The fact that she didn't get angry over Samuel's inappropriate behavior was proof of how much her granddaughter-in-law loved her grandson. Melody Han thought to herself.
"Grandma!" Samuel greeted Melody Han respectfully.
Melody Han pulled a face and ignored his arrival. Somewhat embarrassed, Ella hurried to say, "Grandma, don't be offended, since Samuel is back."
Melody Han glared at Ella after hearing what she just said,
Falling from nobility, Zen Luo became a humble slave and served as a human punchbag for his former cousins. Inadvertently, he found a way to refine himself into a weapon and a legend started because of that. With a strong belief in never surrender, he strove for revenges and pursued big dreams. Warriors from various clans contended for hegemony and the world was stirred. Relying on the body that was comparable to a powerful weapon, Zen beat his numerous enemies on his way to the immortality. Would he succeed eventually?
y tried to figure out what happened. Surprisingly, the opposite Samuel was even faster than her.
He sat up and reached Ella in just two steps, clutching her hand.
Looking at her red finger, Samuel was angry and his tone became very blunt. "How stupid are you? How can you hurt yourself just by crushing walnuts!"
Ella had been thinking about rubbing it, but when Samuel reprimanded her, her eyes became moist.
He had never done this before. When everyone was together, Samuel was always happy and occasionally very funny.
But since they were together, Samuel had always been serious in front of her. Even now he was as cold as an ice.
She married him, depriving him of his love. Wasn't he also suffering?
"I'm... I'm sorry." She pulled her hand from his hand, stood up awkwardly from the stool and went upstairs.
'Sorry? Why did she apologize?'
Samuel began to wonder if he treated her too seriously when he looked at the awkward figure of the woman upstairs.
In retrospect, it was he who took advantage of her.
"Samuel, get out! Don't come to see me again!" Melody Han looked at the figure of Ella upstairs. She was very upset. She wore a distraught look and slammed her hand down on the table. She wanted to kick Samuel out.
Her grandmother wore a straight face, so Samuel knew that she was truly angry. In reaction, he scratched his black hair with irritation.
"I didn't say that I'm going to leave this evening!" Then he sat back on the couch. Melody's face looked radiant after she heard that.
