Trapped with the CEO

Chapter 636 Bias towards Ella



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'

Jean Wen sacrificed herself for family interests. Before her husband divorced her, she made every effort to please him.

"You are inexperienced in bed," he said coldly.

"You! Give that land to my family, or I won't agree to divorce," Jean replied furiously.

"Fine. It is exactly what I am thinking about," he sneered.

iful as she usually did on screen, but her appearance was at par with her usual dress sense.

Among all the people at the party, Melody and Jerry were the happiest to see Ella.

So, when Ella arrived, she was immediately sandwiched between the two.

"Grandma Melody, Happy Birthday! Sorry, I was stuck in a traffic jam, so I'm late," apologized Ella. Ella gave Melody an apologetic hug and her present.

"It's fine. I'm glad that you came. Let us see what you have for me!" said Melody. In fact, no matter what it was, Melody would have been delighted as long as it was from Ella!

Melody unpacked the present immediately. This displeased some people since her action indicated her bias in favor of Ella!

The gift was a brocade box with an inscription 'Dear grandma, I wish you a long and happy life. - Yours sincerely, E.'

Melody knew that every letter on the box had been carved by Ella. She knew her handwriting so well.

Melody looked at the inscription and started laughing even before she opened the box.

Inside the box lay a necklace with a red woven string and a Maitreya figurine made of Hetian jade. It was an expensive piece of jade according to its appearance.

The carving skills on the Maitreya figurine were less satisfactory, Melody thought.

Ella cuddled her son and was embarrassed after Melody saw the figurine,"Sorry, grandma. I carved it, but... I'm obviously not an excellent carver. I hope you still like it!"
