He did not care about Winnie. Since he did not love her, he should not give her any hope. He and Winnie were about to have a divorce sooner or later, so they should not continue to be close to each other, right?
“Hudson, don’t use GPS to locate me in the future, I will always remember to bring an umbrella from now on.” Esther lowered her head while refusing his help.
“Esther!” Hudson shouted in pain. “Don’t reject me, please!”
From the day he was born, Hudson would not speak in such a humble manner. This made Esther’s heart ached. As she was in a trance for a moment, she was pulled back by Hudson’s hand. “I’ll bring you back!”
Elijah walked over with big steps. In the rain, when he saw Hudson holding Esther’s hand tightly, his heart suddenly felt unbearable pain, as if being poked by a needle. As he walked towards them with even bigger steps, his expression remained gloomy. He then quickly pulled Esther by her hand. Esther was completely dumbfounded by Elijah’s sudden action.
“Elijah?”
Hudson was also shocked as he seemingly did not expect to see Elijah. As he thought about the newspaper that said Esther was Elijah’s woman, anger and ruthlessness could be seen flashing in Hudson’s eyes.
Elijah pulled Esther into his arms while an umbrella propped up over them. He focused his sight on Hudson and narrowed his eyes dangerously.
“Elijah?” Esther grabbed Elijah’s clothes as if he was her lifesaver. Her body was almost reaching her limits. Since she could not go with Hudson, she could only rely on Elijah.
“Elijah?” When Hudson saw Esther was depending on Elijah, he felt hurt. His eyes turned red as he instantly felt hostility towards Elijah. As he was about to pull Esther back to his side, he said, “Esther, I’ll send you back!”
Elijah did not look at Hudson, he just nestled her tightly in his arms, and then said to Esther, “Let’s go home, we will get married tomorrow morning!”
“Get married?” Esther was dumbfounded as looked at Elijah in dismay, not expecting him to suddenly say such words.
Elijah’s sight locked on her eyebrow. However, he was expressionless, no emotions could be seen on his face. He did, however, say with certainty, “Yes, we’re getting married tomorrow! I and you!”
As if he was declaring something, he said with certainty.
Esther’s heart was shocked, what was Elijah talking about? She subconsciously turned her head to look at Hudson, and when she saw that Hudson’s whole body was frozen in pain.
She turned her head towards Elijah again to find out what he meant by that. However, when she came face to face with his expressionless yet determined face, she was stunned and felt frustrated. Elijah, this madman, was really annoying!
Elijah, however, ignored Hudson and left the place while holding Esther.
However, Hudson’s hand which was holding Esther’s arm would not let go.
“Let go!” Elijah said in a deep voice, his tone had an unquestionable tone of command.
“You should let go!” Hudson’s tone was also full of determination. “Esther, come with me!”
“Hudson, I’m sorry!” Esther shook her head.
Her refusal made Hudson’s body freeze, “You, you want to go with him?”
Although her heart hurt so much that it was almost suffocating her, Esther did not go back to her promise to Winnie. “Go and pick up Winnie, she loves you very much. Hudson, since you have chosen to marry her, you should be responsible!”
After finishing the sentence, Esther pulled on Elijah clothes. She was speaking in a pleading tone, her small face was full of tear marks, “Elijah, bring me away from here!”
Elijah half embraced, half carried Esther and walked towards his car…
In that night, Hudson’s umbrella fell in the rain as he got instantly wet…
Ethel, Winnie and Lilah walked out of the restaurant building and just as they reached the door, they saw Hudson’s umbrella falling in the rain while Elijah left with his umbrella holding Esther by his side.
As soon as Winnie saw Hudson was drenched in the rain, she immediately ran over at a fast pace. “Hudson…”
“Winnie…” Ethel also shouted anxiously, trying to pull her back. She actually ran out with such a heavy rain coming down. She then looked at Hudson. He stood motionless in the rain while an aura of loneliness could be seen around him. Seeing that he looked so broken and lonely, it made Ethel subconsciously looked at Esther who was taken away by Elijah.
It must have been Esther who caused Hudson to be in this state. She did not understand, although he loved her deep in his heart, but still chose not to be close to her. Why was this?
Lilah was also shocked. She quickly took the umbrella and handed it to Ethel. “What’s going on, there seems to be a situation!”
Hudson was crazy, even though the rain was so heavy, he just stood in the rain like that while getting drenched, he was going to get a cold.
“Ethel, what do we do?” Lilah wanted to help, but she did not know how to. “Want me to send them an umbrella?”
“Forget it, they will take care of it!” Ethel gave a worried look at Hudson and Winnie.
“Hudson…” Winnie bent down to pick up the umbrella, her body was also completely wet, “Hudson, let’s go home, you’ll catch a cold like this!”
“Don’t bother me!” Hudson blocked her umbrella. “I don’t want you to bother me! Go, leave now!”
“Hudson, you want to get drenched; I’ll accompany you!” Knowing the pain in his heart, she looked at him stubbornly. She threw her umbrella in the rain and stood with him. “Hudson, I know it’s hard for you, but you can’t trample yourself like this!”
“You don’t have to accompany me!” He said in a cold voice as the rain drenched his cheeks, dripping down into his eyes and flowing into his mouth. The rain tasted sour, just like the feeling in his heart.
“Hudson!” Winnie’s tears slipped out. Nobody could tell if it’s the tears or the rain. While under the cold rain, her warm tears were blurring her vision, and she looked at the figure in front of her. “I’m not accompanying you; I just empathize with your feelings; do you really think you are the only one who isn’t loved by the one you loved?”
Esther walked to Elijah’s car while subconsciously looked back at Hudson and found that Winnie was also standing in the rain.
Were they both crazy?
Elijah’s eyes also turned around towards them, his face cold and expressionless.
There was nothing more difficult to write in this world than the word ‘love’.
Esther mournfully gritted her teeth. ‘Hudson, please do not torture yourself, and do not torture Winnie. Last but not least, please do not torture me…’ She thought to herself.
In the end, when she was pulled by Elijah to his car, she asked anxiously, “What the hell do you want?”
“I want to marry you!” He still said the same thing.
She was dumbfounded, she had no idea what this man was thinking. She was just getting more and more confused. ‘Marriage’, this was such a strange yet familiar word, and he did not look like he was joking.
Esther looked back at Hudson again, he was still standing in the rain, and Winnie was also accompanying him.
However, she was tucked into the car by Elijah. As she looked at the figure far away from her through the glass of the car window, Esther’s heart suddenly throbbed. As her eyes dimmed, tears started pouring down.
“Can’t let go of him?” Elijah sat in the car and saw her teary-eyed look. A sneer appeared on his face, his tone of voice was slightly deep, as if he was trying to suppress his displeasure.
“What’s it got to do with you?” Esther retorted as she pouted. She was cursing Elijah hundreds of times in her heart while angrily questioning her, “What the hell do you mean? Don’t play tricks with me, okay?”
Suddenly she felt sorrow in her heart, seeing Hudson still drenched in the heavy rain, seeing Winnie accompanying Hudson, seeing his dumbfounded look when he heard Elijah said he wanted to marry herself.
She was grieving, her tears were about to flow out. She quickly turned her head so that nobody could see her being weak. However, the moment she turned her head, the tears still dripped on the back of Elijah’s hand.
She cried again!
Elijah serious face looked shocked. When he took a glance at the tears on the back of his hand, he had mixed feelings in his heart. He then said in a deep voice, “If you can’t let go of him, get out of the car and go find him, I’m give you one last chance!”
What? Esther quickly raised her head and wiped away the tears on her face, “What did you say?”
“If you really can’t let him go, just go find him, if you can, marry me tomorrow!” His cold face stiffened and twisted as he spoke, “I’ll only give you a minute, if you don’t get off, you can only be my woman!”
While Esther was still crying, she was now facing a dilemma. She attempted to see whether there was a chance that Elijah was joking through his facial expression, but unfortunately his expression remained cold and angry.
She will not leave the car, because she already promised Winnie.
However, did she want to marry him?
She looked at the figure in the rain again. After that, Esther parted her gaze sadly, “Let’s go!”
The car immediately drove away!
Hudson was dumbfounded as he saw the Bugatti leaving, he was so sad that he felt empty in his heart. He could not let her marry Elijah, he just could not…
Winnie also saw Elijah’s car had left, and Hudson staggered a little. She looked at him while feeling heartbroken. “Hudson, let’s go home, okay?”
Hudson shook his head. “You go back yourself!”
He did not care about her. He just got straight into his car and drove to chase after Esther. Winnie stood in front of the car which made Hudson honked the horn urgently, but Winnie just would not budge.
Ethel ran over with Lilah’s umbrella in his hand, he had to come out. He saw that Hudson was in a hurry to chase after Esther, while Winnie was standing in front of the car. If nobody interfered, there was a chance that Winnie might get injured. This stupid woman, she actually dared to block Hudson’s car.
“Winnie!” Ethel placed the umbrella above her head. “Do you want to die?”
“Ethel, help me block him, please help me!” At that moment, Winnie did not act like a girl born from a rich family. She just looked like lowly woman who longed for her husband’s love.
“Hudson!” Ethel shoved the umbrella to Winnie, ran over, and knocked on the glass of the car window. Under the pouring rain, his clothes also got wet.
The car door opened, and Winnie also ran over in a hurry. However, Hudson just said to Ethel. “Send her home!” Then the car quickly sped away.
“Hudson!”
“Hudson…”
In the rain, the car raced past them. However, it still gave off a lonely aura.
Winnie could not help but and cry.
“Winnie, I’ll send you back first!” Ethel turned his head to see Winnie fragile appearance while reaching out to pull her arm. “Go home first, you’ll catch a cold like this!”
“I’m not going! Ethel, will you help me get Hudson back?”
“Is he worth it?” Ethel gave a low roar, embraced the crying Winnie in his arms, and carried her to the ground floor of the building.
****************************************
It was raining heavily; Esther was looking at the rain scraper as it kept swinging. She was also watching as the cars beside them sped pass. She then raised her head, forced back her tears that nearly fell off and smiled bitterly, everything was over!
She wanted to give herself a new identity, other than being the Elijah’s wife.
On the way, the two did not speak while the car kept moving. Finally, Elijah spoke. “Do you know the meaning of you coming back with me?”
Esther frowned. “I’m not going back with you, I’m just leaving that place, now let me out of this car!”
Elijah kept silent and continued to drive.
A red Ferrari suddenly caught up to them, it was just beside Elijah’s car.
