This time, she wrote down all the questions and only went back to the office once this afternoon.

Because Ella had planned to go back to the old house in the evening, she turned to Sum to ask for a favor. She hoped that she could leave work half an hour earlier.

Sum agreed straightforwardly. After a day's work, she said goodbye to him and left the company.

What she did not know was that the people were starting to gossip about them.

It was already seven o'clock when she returned to the old house.

Vincent was feeding the baby in the baby chair with Millet soup. Seeing her come, he said: "Ella, stay with us and have dinner. Why didn't you tell us that you are coming"

Vivien put a set of tableware between Melody and Jerry.

"It's fine. I get out late. You don't have to wait for me, you can have dinner first." Ella hugged her son and washed her hands, then sat by him at the dining table.

Melody served her some soup and asked her: "What have you been doing these last two days, Ella?"

Ella gave her son some steamed bread and turned to her grandmother: "I got a job. Today was my first day."

"Found a job? You are quite independent now." Viola interrupted her and made Ella a little embarrassed. Ella didn't understand what she meant by that, but she didn't asked further.

Vincent cast a glance at his wife and scolded her: "It's not your business. Eat your dinner."

Viola glared at him and went on to eat her meal.

Melody picked out some food for Ella and asked her: "Why do you want to have a job?"

Ella ate her food in the plate and answered her: "There is nothing for me to do back at home and so I might as well go out and find myself a job." explained Ella.

Of course, everyone knew what she really meant in that sentence.

"Well, Keep up the good work. Are you still living in Royal Valley?" Melody always supported her decision, no matter what she did.

Ella stopped eating for a second and shook her head: "I'll be living here for the time being, and if the job turns out okay, I will rent a house later." She was afraid of Samuel bringing other women to Yugu.

Her words silenced Melody.

After feeding his grandson the last mouthful of millet soup, Vincent looked at Ella, whose head was now lowered down: "Things are still not working out between the two of you?"

Ella shook her head when she finally realized he was asking her: "No, our house is a littler far away from the company. It will be more convenient for me if I rent a house." It took half an hour to drive to Sum's company. It was, indeed, a little bit too far.

But Viola didn't think so. She had a certain grudge held against Ella because of the scandal she was involved in. As far as Viola was concerned, there was nothing good about Ella.

"You can rent a house in another, hidden place, and do something that we don't know about. It's more convenient, of course." She was referring to other things, so Ella now stopped eating completely.

"Mum, if you are referring to the so called scandal that happened the other day, I can fully explain it to you..."

"You needn't to explain to us. You know everything that's in your heart and so do we." Viola cut her words directly.

Vincent put down his chopsticks heavily and seriously. His expression was like Melody's, to some extent. "Can't you have dinner peacefully?"

Viola sensed that her husband was getting mad, she stopped talking, and continued to eat her dinner.

In the end, they finished their dinner peacefully and without any more arguments.

It was already 11 o'clock when Samuel came back to the villa. He was a little disappointed when he saw that the house was empty.

He took out his phone and sent her a message via Wechat; "Where are you?"

Ella was so excited when she saw the message from him, and immediately replied: "Old house." She was sleeping with their son.

"Who allowed you to leave the house?"

She became upset with his accusation.

"It's not any of your business!" Recently, he was back in good relation with Emma. How could he remember her now?

Samuel was angry, and answered her with only two words: "Ella!"

"Samuel, can you accept my apology, please?" However, she received no reply.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, She gave up. Smiling bitterly, she turned off her phone and slept with her arms across her son.

In the following few days, Ella adapted to the new working environment she was in quickly and soon was able to finish her work with ease.

However, rumors about her and Sum started to spread when people in the company found out whom she really was.

In Samuel's law firm.

The door of the office was knocked on: "Come in." Getting his permission to enter, Emma came in.

Samuel cast a glance at her and continued working.

Emma knew he didn't want to talk with her. She had to find some words to say to him: "Samuel, do you know where your wife is?" Were it not for Catherine, Emma would have known nothing about it.

Samuel frowned at her words. Wasn't she in old house?
