Chapter 46 Don''t You Like Your Child


    Alcohol had now dulled E''s senses. She giggled like stupid: "I like it...But I like my Samuel more."


    She was so happy and reassured now! Her Samuel had bought her a diamond ring!


    She was so excited! What should she do now?


    "Are you still mad at me?" She was holding his neck tight in her arms. E promptly shook her head.


    Her Samuel was so handsome. She couldn''t help but kissing his thin, gentle lips.


    This little woman. Didn''t she have the patience at least to let him ask her a couple of questions?


    Samuel didn''t notice that a gleam of love that came into her eyes.


    Needless to say, they spent the whole romantic night together.


    At the crack of dawn, Samuel carried E from the living room to the bathroom and into the hot tub, and


    simply washed her body. After that they fell asleep in each other''s arms.


    Later on, in the morning, E turned overfortably in the bed and prepared to go back to sleep.


    The room was too quiet. When she opened her eyes she found out that she was alone in the bedroom.


    Samuel had already got up. She found the rm clock near the bedside table, and it was now half past


    nine.


    E quickly got up from bed at once. Today was the day that Samuel would represent Emma''s


    E smacked her forehead in frustration. Why didn''t Samuel wake her up?


    Nevertheless, that Emma Gu woman would certainly be there. She thought that she would better go


    directly to thepany.


    She noticed the diamond ring on her finger and remembered what had happenedst night.


    With a smile on her face, she stroked the ring back and forth. . Sost night wasn''t a dream after all.


    After she washed herself quickly, E stood in front of the dresser, looking at the hickeys Samuel left on


    her neck. E flushed as she saw them. She opened a closet to take out a silk scarf to cover the traces


    ofst night''s love.


    When E arrived at thepany, Anna followed Samuel to the courtroom. Today, Samuel didn''t


    assign any work to E, so she went to the library straight after she videochatted with Melody and her


    son.


    When she arrived, there were very few people in the library. E found a few books about case studies,


    picked a quiet corner in the library, sat down and started reading.


    E hadn''t slept that wellst night. Soon she began to feel drowsy.


    She didn''t even notice when someone sat down opposite of her.


    E suddenly woke up as the book fell from her hand to the ground. When she picked up the book, she


    then saw the man that was seated in front of her.


    "Hello, Miss Bo" spoke the man.


    E looked puzzled at the man that spoke to her. She remembered that his name was Rake. But,

    wasn''t he awyer? Why did he alwayse to read here?


    "Hello." E replied formally, stood up and prepared to leave.


    Drake smiled when he noticed that she was trying to avoid him; "So, Miss Bo hasn''t been a bit worried


    that Mr. Shao represented his ex-girlfriend at court?" As he expected, E stopped.


    Her tone became more severe: "Whatever is to worry about? There are so many people out there.


    Perchance they will do something out of line in public?" Who the hell was this man? She could feel that


    he was trying to approach her on purpose and with an interest in mind.


    E searched her memory, but couldn''t remember his full name. She was certain that she only had met


    him here, in thew office, and was certain she hadn''t seen him anywhere before.


    "Indeed, but it''s so unfair for Miss Bo that Mr. Shao should fight with fervor for his ex-girlfriend''s case."


    E was not stupid to misunderstand that this guy was trying to alienate Samuel from her.


    "Who are you?" She looked back at him, eyes fixed on his. He certainly didn''t look like a nice person at


    all, keeping a sinister grin on his face.


    Drake didn''t mind at all that E had already known his intention. He stood up from the chair he was


    sitting in and spoke: "Emma''s birthday ising up soon. As I know, every year, on the 25th day of the


    9th lunar month, Samuel used to take her to the University of Finances in C Country. I wonder if


    Samuel will take her ...this year." He paused deliberately for a moment and then left.


    But this was enough for E to understand what he meant with those words.


    It was funny that Emma shared the same date of birth as her. She took out of her purse her phone,


    opened the calendar and counted the exact days remaining. It was only two dozen days away.


    This would be her first birthday celebration since her marriage to Samuel. Whom would he be with on


    that date? E wasn''t too hopeful.


    And there was an even sadder thing that she thought of. Perhaps Samuel didn''t even remember her


    birthday.


    She had to admit to herself that the man''s words did have an effect on her.


    Even though she knew that he did it on purpose just to annoy her, she still couldn''t get it out of her


    mind.


    At Noon


    All Samuel''s cases were the focus of the media.


    And this one, too. He was so famous, that all of his clients had to make an appointment half a year in


    advance if they wanted Samuel to defend them at court.


    But this particr case was an exception. It was favored and inserted specially into his schedule. So


    when Samuel and Emma appeared, the journalists besieged them at once with questions.


    Samuel was also a public figure in the country and had been photographed by nosey journalists before,


    when he was in a rtionship with Emma.


    But now he was married to E, and all of this was watched by the eyes of the public.


    So, in their questions, no one paid any attention to the progress of the case Emma was in. Instead,


    they digged for juicy news about the two of them. Questions wereing from left and right.


    "Mr. Shao, how did you feel when you walked into the court with your ex-girlfriend?"


    "Miss Gu, yourpany is in the United States. You have travelled a great distance to seek help from


    Mr. Shao. Is there something we don''t know?"


    "Mr. Shao, it''s said you undertook the case in advance because Miss Gu is your ex-girlfriend. Are you


    getting back together any soon?"


    "Does Mrs. Shao know anything about it?"


    "It''s said that you and Mrs. Shao have never been seen together in public other thanmuting to


    work together and business. Do you think the two of you have divorced in all but name?"


    ''It is said that Mrs. Melody Han is taking care of your son now. Does it mean that the child isn''t a fruit of


    love? Don''t you like your child, Mr. Shao? And what about Mrs. Shao, does she at least like the child?"


    ...


    One sharp question after another. All were the questionsing from nowhere and with no basis to


    them whatsoever., Samuel''s indifferent face turned colder and colder with indignation.


    He stopped and looked at a female reporter who mentioned the child in her question. "By the looks of


    your age, you must be a mother of several children. Don''t you like your child?"


    All eyes were now fixed on the female reporter, who was in her early twenties, and was, of course,


    When Samuel spoke in that cold manner, the abashed reporter almost cried. She wasn''t even married


    yet. Where was the baby from? She had nerves: "Mr. Shao, as awyer, you must know the


    consequences of nder."


    "Then do you know the consequences of nder and peeping into other''s private life? Believe it or not,


    I can sue you right now," said Samuel, aggressively and ruthlessly.


    The female reporter''s eyes were now filled with tears. She sobbed and ran away from the scene.


    The journalists had by now started to understand. Samuel was protecting his child.


    So now they got another breakthrough: "Mr. Shao, we now believe you really love your child. But you


    didn''t say a thing in your wife''s defense when we were talking about your wife. Does that mean you


    acquiesced?"
