Chapter 200 We Aren''t Divorced
E didn''t say a word. She just picked up her phone, which was near her, and distracted herself with it.
"E, what can I do to make you trust me again?" Samuel asked, his voice dripping with worry. He
wanted to p himself on the face, ''Samuel, why did you mention her? Now how will you exin it?''
Samuel''s words, however, didn''t make E happier. She answered coldly, "You don''t need to exin.
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
That''s your business. I have no right to me you even if you slept in the same room as her." ''Samuel
and I are divorced. How can I me him?'' thought E.
As an intelligentwyer, Samuel came up with a wise answer quickly, "Of course you have the right. We
aren''t divorced. Even though we both signed the divorce papers, the agreement didn''t take effect."
''Huh? What does he mean by that?'' E was puzzled by Samuel''s excitement.
"It didn''t take effect?"
"No. I didn''t send it to the bureau of civil affairs, so it''s not valid. We have never divorced and you are
still my wife." Samuel answered, looking giddy like a small child who was getting candy.
E was astounded and dropped her phone on herp.
''I''m still Samuel''s wife? We aren''t divorced?''
Samuel''s reply surprised E, making her exhrated, astonished and excited, all at the same time.
Her eyes were brimming with tears because of the unexpected truth.
''Does this mean that Samuel has always loved me?'' E wondered.
"I''m innocent. If I had lived with Catherine, then it would have been marital infidelity, which is illegal. I''m
awyer. I will never break thew. Please trust me on this." Samuel nned to tell E the truth in the
future when he proposed to her again, but because of what his friends had done, he had to disclose the
truth or risk losing her forever.
E nodded, repeatedly. Now she knew that Samuel''s love had never changed. She embraced
Samuel, but unconsciously used her wounded arm.
"Ouch!" The pain forced E to put her arm down.
Sympathetically, Samuel blew onto her bandaged arm. They both knew her pain would not subside
because of his blowing, but Samuel didn''t stop. E found his gesture endearing.
A momentter, Samuel stopped and embraced E, "Honey, get well quickly. I want to take you
home."
Samuel was talking about the vi. He had allowed neither Catherine nor Emma to go there, let alone
live there.
E''s name was still on the ownership certificate of the vi. That was their home. To Samuel, the most
wonderful thing in life was to live there with E and their son.
''Tomorrow I will start to prepare for our wedding ceremony. It will be a surprise for E, '' thought
Samuel.
"I will." E replied. She leaned her head against Samuel''s shoulder, with tears of joy cascading down
her cheeks.
Jane''s face shed across E''s mind. ''Should I tell Samuel that Jane is his daughter?'' E wondered.
"Samuel..." she murmured. At the moment, someone opened the door.
It was Melody, together with Vincent and Vi. Having been interrupted, E decided to tell Samuel
about Jer on.
"E!" Noticing that E was awake, Melody rushed to her excitedly.
Tears ran down Melody''s cheeks. She held E''s hands tightly, "Silly thing you did. What if you were
seriously hurt and could never recover? I would rather die in that case!"
"Sorry, Grandma. I''m all right now. Don''t be sad."
E tried tofort Melody to calm her down. Melody was always nice to her. She couldn''t have just
stood there and done nothing yesterday.
If she could relive yesterday, she would protect Melody, without any hesitation.
If Melody had been hurt, she could never have the courage to look at Samuel or live her life.
"E. Thank you for saving Melody, " Vincent expressed his gratitude. Vi had told Vincent what had
happened and that she had regretted treating E badly.
What E had done touched Vincent. Though he couldn''t repay E, Samuel, his son, could.
"Not at all. I want to protect Melody, " E replied in a soft voice.
Samuel coughed slightly, which puzzled E. She looked Samuel in the eye, wondering if she had said
something wrong.
Samuel tried to give her some hints. "Don''t you remember what I told you earlier?"
Samuel''s question really confused E. She lowered her head, trying hard to recall every sentence
Samuel had said.
Noticing her confusion, Samuel exined with a sigh, "Dad, Mum, we aren''t divorced. We were, and
still are a family." E looked up finally realising what Samuel''s prodding meant.
That also surprised Vi, who looked at Samuel with exhration. She sat beside E and held her
hands, "E, could you call me ''Mum'' again?"
E had mixed feelings about Vi''s unusual kindness, but sensing her sincerity, E replied with a
smile, "Mum."
E and Samuel had been married for many years, but she called Vi sincerely and timidly, as if she
was a woman who had just met her mother-inw for the first time. Because she had called Vi
''Mum'', the atmosphere in the ward became more pleasant.
"I was so stupid that I believed Emma was the right woman for Samuel. I want to apologise for what I
have done to you." Vi regretted treating E harshly in the past, but it wasn''t toote. She would be
kind to E from then on.
Seeing Vi admit her errors, Vincentughed, "E. Vi is sorry for what she has done. She
mentioned you frequently in the past few days."
E was touched and nodded, "It''s all right, Mum. We can start over. I believe we can get along with
each other."
E''s eyes were brimming with tears because of their kindness.
"E, how about quitting your job?" asked Vi. "Shooting a film must be tiring. You can stay at home.
Wouldn''t it be much better to have another baby?"
E flushed at once.
"That''s a good idea, Mum..." Samuel answered before E could say a word. "... I also want a second
child." Samuel continued happily, without any sign of shyness.
E gave Samuel a stare and exined herself, "Mum, we have just restored our rtions, and I
signed a contract with Harry''spany a few days earlier. It''s not the best time to quit. But when the
time is right, I will think about it."
E didn''t want a baby now. If they really wanted a new member in the family, she would tell them that
Jane was Samuel''s daughter.
''Yes. That''s a good idea, '' E made up her mind.
"Fine. It''s all up to you and Samuel. We''ll let you two decide." Vi replied, albeit slightly disappointed.
Vi didn''t know that Jane was her granddaughter, but she didn''t try changing E''s mind.
They already had Jerry, a sweet grandson.
Melody knew that Jane was Samuel''s daughter, so she wasn''t eager for a new member of the family as
well.
''What''s more, E and Samuel have restored their rtions, there is nothing to worry about, '' thought
Melody.
"Thank you, Mum."
They continued chatting for a while. Then Vincent and Vi went to work. Samuel also went home to
change his clothes before going to work.
In the ward, Melody apanied E.
