“Yes!” He replied, got dressed, picked up the keys, and went away.
Esther looked at the two bowls of noodles on the table and felt strange. He seemed to know that she could have two bowls of noodles. But did he have dinner?
She thought.
She lowered her head again to eat noodles.
However, she felt the noodles were not as delicious as before.
****************
In the suite of D Hotel.
“Mr. Perry, I have done what you’ve ordered!” Danny Gardner stepped forward and said to Elijah with respect.
“You go out first!” Elijah did not turn around.
Danny paused for a moment and nodded. “Yes!”
Elijah stood quietly in front of the window. The neon lights were flashing on the streets, while Elijah stood in the darkness. The moonlight shed on him but the cold vibe kept surrounding him.
He looked into the distance and a hint of sadness was between his eyebrows. His eyes darkened and were filled with grief.
The memories came to his mind. He didn’t expect that he would see Esther after twelve years had passed. That cute girl had become so beautiful that no one was willing to take their eyes from her. Moreover, she was as kind as before.
She grew up beside Hudson, but Hudson gave her nothing. He loved her, but did not marry her!
Elijah spat out this name and clenched his fist. Esther loved Hudson!
Elijah looked painful and distressed. Only when no one was around him did he show his feelings. He frowned and didn’t suppress his feelings until the door was knocked. Elijah said coldly, “Come in.”
“Mr. Perry, Mr. Conrad’s wife wants to see you!” Danny walked in quickly.
“I don’t want to see her!” With that, Elijah shivered a bit with his back to Danny. The shadow was on Elijah’s face, creating a cold vibe.
“OK!” Danny wanted to speak but stopped.
“Tell her that she will get enough money! Get out. Don’t bother me again!”
“Yes!”
***************
Esther finished the noodles and cleaned the bowl and chopsticks. She sat on the sofa and felt the living room empty. Was it because Elijah was not here?
Elijah went back and saw Esther sleeping on the sofa. It was two o’clock in the morning. He went over and looked at Esther’s slender body and beautiful face. He stared at her, with love in his eyes, reached out, and picked her up.
Esther was suddenly carried by Elijah. She was still in the dream and felt something warm, so she threw herself into Elijah’s arms to make a comfortable posture. She grasped his chest at random and went on sleeping.
Elijah frowned at the delicate hands. Though she didn’t do that on purpose, she aroused his desire!
Elijah stared at Esther. He looked at her eyelid, her small face, and her small mouth that seemed to have watered. Her pure sleeping face and sexy figure made him feel that he was burning with desire.
His desire had been aroused.
But…
He carried her into her bedroom and gently put her on the bed.
“Don’t turn over…” Elijah felt she wanted to turn over, so he warned.
But Esther turned over at once, “It hurts!”
She felt the pains on the back, sweated, and woke up suddenly. She opened her swollen eyes and saw Elijah and felt his worried gaze with desire!
“You’re back?” She said in a hoarse voice. Elijah’s eyes darkened.
Elijah was a bit embarrassed, nodded, and said coldly. “Don’t sleep in the living room!”
“Alright!” She knew he had carried her into her bedroom and wanted to thank him, but she stopped it at the thought of what he had done.
“Don’t go to work tomorrow!” With that said, he turned around and went out.
“I need to work. It’s not the weekend.” She just got a job. How could she not go to work?
Before Esther finished, Elijah returned with her tool in his hand. He carried a cold vibe. “I’ll keep your tool!”
“No, it’s mine!” Esther looked up at the tool in his hand. The tool was made for her by her master. She used it to escape.
She got out of bed to grab it, but Elijah caught her hands and pulled her into his arms!
Elijah held the back of Esther’s head. Before she gave out a sound, Elijah gave her a heavy kiss. There was a trace of fear in it, making Esther stunned for a moment.
“Don’t jump off a building anymore!” He said in a manly voice and exhaled heat breath to her mouth. “Do you get it? What if you slipped and dropped?”
It turned out that he was concerned about her. Esther frowned. “I won’t fall!”
He held her tightly in his arms and kissed her fiercely. His lips covered hers and he rolled his tongue in her mouth to fiddle with her!
He kissed her fiercely until Esther could not breathe. Only when her face was going red did he reluctantly let go of her.
Esther did not push Elijah away for the first time, because she seemed to see worry and mixed feelings from his eyes.
“Are you worried about me?” She asked. “Do you like kissing other women when you’re worried about them?”
There was no reason! She didn’t mean anything for him.
But Elijah gazed at her, felt powerless, and said, “Go to sleep!”
Early in the morning.
Esther smelled the smell of rice and woke up. It was minced pork congee with egg! Esther was attracted by the smell, could not help but click her tongue, and mumbled, “I am hungry…”
Elijah chuckled.
Esther rubbed her eyes, looked in the direction of the sunshine, and was shocked by what was before her eyes. A tall figure stood in front of the white curtain. He was wearing a bathrobe, drops of water on his wet hair glistening in the sun.
The golden light fell on him, setting off his perfect figure. But he kept a straight face. So, who smiled just now?
When Esther hesitated, Elijah walked over with the medicine box in his hand. “Have your wounds dressed!”
“No!” Esther shook her head in a daze. “I’d rather die of the infection!”
She would be really embarrassed if he saw her naked body again. “Elijah, I beg you. Let’s not act so intimately. I just want to live a peaceful life.”
“Change the dressing!” He said in a deep voice and didn’t allow her to refuse him.
Esther was shocked, looked up to him, and saw his eyes glistening.
She frowned, “Alright, I’ll take you as my sister!”
She snorted and thought that she couldn’t let him take advantage of her so easily.
His face darkened and seemed to be angry. She rolled her eyes and felt herself too wise.
“My sister!” She lied on the bed, lifted her clothes, covered her breast, and saw Elijah curl his lips.
His face was too handsome and his features were perfect. Drops of water hung on the tip of his hair and flowed down his breast, waist, and lower body that was covered. His healthy skin made her heart skipped a beat.
She was stunned.
“Are you laughing?” Esther looked at him. He looked angry just now.
He sat down on the edge of the bed, reticent and reserved.
Her dark eyes were filled with coldness and wisdom. Without a doubt, Elijah was a good-looking but cold man.
However, she wondered why he cared about her.
“What do you see?” Elijah said in a hoarse and deep voice. He threw a cold gaze at Esther who was in a daze and said to her as if implying something.
Esther was stunned, turned her gaze, and was somewhat embarrassed. Elijah was as handsome as Hudson, but he was colder. Hudson was an indifferent man. He was nice to her and her master, though he didn’t love her. Thinking of Hudson, Esther’s eyes darkened.
Elijah fixed his deep gaze on her back, ripped off the bandage, disinfected the wound with alcohol, and changed the dressing.
Esther kept wailing.
After that, Esther was still crying.
“Come out to have porridge!”
“You do cook the porridge??
“Hurry up!”
“Wow! You’re my great sister. It’s good to live with you.” Esther lifted the quilt quickly and forgot that her upper body was still naked. When she turned around, her waist was exposed in the air.
Elijah paused and squinted.
Esther screamed and pulled down the clothes immediately. “You’re a bastard! I’m going to change my generation and then live with you!”
Elijah stared at her and said calmly, “I can play with you even if you’re a man!”
Esther screamed again.
Although Elijah didn’t allow her to go to work, Esther decided to go. When Elijah left, she went to the company by bus.
