When he walked in, Esther was panicked and lowered her head, tried to walk past him.
By the moment she walked past him, he suddenly pulled her hand.
Esther was nervous and stopped walking.
Lilah was also a little puzzled, looked suspiciously at both of them, her intuition told her that something was fishy.
“What’s wrong with your head?” Hudson said in a low voice indifferently with his eyes slightly narrowed. His eyes were filled with strong concern and sorrow. “Come with me!”
“Hudson!” Esther’s heart trembled. Her eyes turned watery, and her tears were about to roll down her cheeks, but she still held back and said softly, “I have my work to do!”
Lilah saw the situation and knew that the relationship between them was unusual.
Seeing each other again, Hudson didn’t know if he could bear her alienation and indifference. He only felt his heart instantly wrung again.
“Esther, come with me!” Still the same words, but with a command that couldn’t be refused.
“I have to do my work!” This was the first time that she rejected him, so determined and alienated.
He stopped talking but held her hand and walked toward his car.
“Esther, emmm” Lilah was a little puzzled, but didn’t know what to do.
“Lilah, you deliver the check by yourself, I’ve something to do!” Esther spoke to her hurriedly as she was brought into the car by Hudson.
Lilah watched the car drive away.
He drove his red Ferrari to the suburb where it was at the same road from the last time and stopped his car by the roadside where no others were present.
Esther was silent, only her clenching her little hands had revealed her feeling. She was nervous and sad as she had never seen such a bossy Hudson before.
“Esther, do you really like Elijah?” Hudson’s face was pale and exhausted. He didn’t rest well these days. Who could know his pain?
His face became gloomy and he was angry, “Don’t you only love me? Why would you… with him…”
“Hudson!” Esther cried out in painful sorrow. “I do only love you, and I’ve loved you since I was a child. And until this moment, I know that I’m still loving you, but is it enough to just have love? How can you ask me such a question after you abandoned me? Hudson, don’t you think you’re too cruel?”
They stood in silence, Hudson looked at Esther who looked a bit indifferent, then suddenly took her into his arm and said in a deep voice, “What was written in the newspaper isn’t true, right? What I’ve seen in the bathroom at the dinner party that day is also not true, right? The first thing you need to do now is to tell me that these are not true, and I will never leave you again!”
“Hudson, those are true!” He was too aggressive, made Esther struggle to speak and her hands were pushing his body away at the same time.
“Esther, don’t you reject me!” Hudson growled when he saw Esther who was staying away from him. He suddenly leaned forward to hug her and forcefully kissed her.
His heart was aching. No matter what happened, he only wanted her. All he always wanted was her.
“Let me go!” Esther raised her hand quickly to block Hudson’s roughness and her face looked complicated.
“Esther, don’t turn me down!” Hudson said in his deep yet gentle voice, and he refused to let go of her. She had fair skin and well-defined facial features. He held her tightly and was no longer kissing her forcefully but kissed her gently now. “No matter what, I only want you!”
He lowered down the back seat of the car. Esther was just pressed on the seat by him, and he kissed her fiercely.
“No-” Esther shook her head and hide from him, “Stop it, Hudson. You can’t cheat on Winnie!”
And she didn’t want to be the one to ruin their marriage and she would never be a homewrecker, never!
“Esther, let me love you!” Her struggle didn’t make Hudson stop but rather lead him to be more domineering.
Esther was in a trance. Once upon a time, she had always dreamed of becoming Hudson’s girlfriend, his bride, but he never crossed the line. However, today he was so savage and domineering, and it had really caught her off guard. It was like she never knew him before, and his kiss was so hot.
This was different from Elijah’s kiss. This was Hudson’s scent. However, she didn’t understand when her long dream had really come true at the moment, why did it turn to a sense of melancholy.
Hudson only felt the surge of lust when he kissed the soft body in his embrace. He slid his hands to Esther’s back, wrapped his arms around her body, and lifted Esther’s clothes. When the white belly and the skin wrapped in the corset came into his view, Hudson only felt all his consciousness was taken over by his desire, “Esther, please give you to me.”
Esther felt the pain in her back and she just frowned. The heart she once thought was withered was now becoming painful again. Hudson! Her most beloved Hudson!
“Esther!” Leaning on her, Hudson kissed her again, but Esther turned her head sideways and his kiss fell on her cheek.
She closed her eyes and ignored the pain in her back. A desperate and almost suffocating pain was spreading through her heart. For a moment, she was hugging his back in spite of everything, but her hands froze in mid-air and fell helplessly.
“Esther!” Not feeling her response, his kiss stopped abruptly. Hudson hugged her tightly, so tightly that her back hurt even more.
She even felt the wound on her back being torn apart again. It was so painful, but she didn’t say anything.
“I’m sorry, Esther!” Hudson quickly sat upright and pulled down Esther’s clothes and his eyes were filled with guilt, “Esther, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have lost control!”
Looking at Esther’s pale and desperate face, Hudson felt that he was too agitated just now. How could he treat his Esther like a beast?
She was inexplicably relieved that he had given up.
Looking at Esther’s pale face, Hudson returned to his seat in exasperation, slammed his fist heavily on the steering wheel in irritation, the pain in his joints reminded him of what he had just done.
“Esther, I …” Hudson was regretful.
However, she said, “Hudson, you want my body, don’t you? It’s not clean and not the pure Esther anymore. If you want it, just take it!”
When she said these words, her heart was like being cut into pieces, some love had missed would never return again.
He was no longer her Hudson, and she was no longer his Esther. She knew he was bound to let go of her and she would be very sad when she said it, but she said it anyway.
His mind was buzzing, and his face turned pale in a sudden.
On the other hand, Elijah got the information and turned on the spyware app. His handsome face was complicated when he heard she offered to give herself to Hudson. She really loved him, always.
His eyes were filled with pain when he thought about it and he turned off the app. He couldn’t bear to continue hearing it, maybe he had no courage. He could just feel the pain even when breathing.
After calming down a little, he lit a cigarette with trembling hands and silently smoked it.
“Esther, it’s all my fault!” Hudson mourned, and how could he blame her?
That night, he witnessed everything that happened between her and Elijah in the toilet. He heard the sound that Esther was possessed by Elijah, but he didn’t stop it. How could he expect that everything hadn’t happened?
“Esther, let’s go back to the United States!”
“Hudson, I haven’t asked about the reason you married Winnie, not at this moment and not in the future either. But Hudson, please don’t hurt Winnie, she’s your wife now. The Hudson I know is a good and responsible man. I don’t want to be the homewrecker.” She said slowly, and it looked careless. Her words made him chagrined.
“You don’t want to go to the United States with me?” He asked again.
“Hudson, weren’t you the one who said that you would never mind me again?”
Hudson’s gaze locked on the slim figure in front of him, the scene of her in Elijah’s arms that day came to his mind, “You don’t want to leave Elijah?”
“Hudson, send me back!” There was slight soreness in her eyes, but she couldn’t cry out. Esther spoke to Hudson who was sitting beside her, “I still have work to do.”
“Esther,” Hudson didn’t want to give up, he had tried before but failed. He suddenly held Esther’s hand, only to find that her hand was unusually cold. The extreme coldness was as if it was transferred from her hand to his palm and it made his heart chill.
“Esther?” Hudson looked at her worriedly, and only then he realized the cold sweat on her forehead. “What’s wrong with you? Why are your hands so cold even though you’re sweating?”
“I’m fine!” She withdrew her hand, but unfortunately, Hudson held it very tight, not giving her any chance to withdraw it.
“What’s wrong?” He pulled her over, trying to give her warmth, but a pull caused her back to hurt again. She pushed him away in a panic, not wanting him to see that she was hurt.
He knew that something must be wrong, and he lifted the seat and her body was bounced off. He then found that there were spots of blood on the back of the seat, and her back was stained red with blood.
“Your back?” His body tottered. He lifted her clothes, saw the bloodstain and the bandage on her back. He was so nervous and shocked when he saw her back was that seriously injured. “Damn, what’s going on?”
“It’s okay, Hudson, I’m fine!” Esther suddenly smiled, “It’s just a scratch on my back, it’s all small cuts!”
“I’ll take you to the hospital! Damn it, did you climb the window again?” His voice was slightly trembling, he was worried. “Didn’t you promise me you wouldn’t do anything dangerous again? Esther, go back to Switzerland, stay with Master and let me not worry about you, okay?”
“No!” Esther shook her head. “I’ll go back afterward!”
She would leave only after Kattie recovered.
He took her to the hospital. Esther went out of the emergency room with a pale face after the nurse had changed her bandage. “Hudson, go back! I’ll go and see Kattie!”
She left straight away without waiting for what he said.
“Esther!” He held her hand again.
