So he was the man of the legend of the city, he was invincible in both business and love affairs. However, the most important thing was that he was also chosen for the position of the chief, that was something even Elijah did not expect.
The equally smart looking face decorated Philip to perfection as if a prodigal. An outstanding aura emanated from him, and the noble, elegant, and powerful aura instantly brought everything around him into his world.
He had a pair of eyes that was darker and more tender than the night, the glittering light in his eyes was like stars in the night sky. The beauty was so radiant that people around them couldn’t help but to hold their breath. Philip’s deadly aura was absolutely top-levelled, but it’s a pity that this womanizer’s speed in changing women was faster than changing clothes.
Even Elijah Perry couldn’t help but to marvel at the owner of this face. How could one be born with such a good look, and how could any woman resist such a charming man.
“Elijah, this is my friend, Philip.” Esther said and held onto Elijah’s arm. She was worried that he was angry so she had to be flattery.
Philip was also staring at Elijah the same way, his powerful manly aura made Philip purse his lips slightly and his eyes flashed. Maybe he should be relieved if Esther had found a husband like Elijah.
But it won’t be that easy to marry Esther!
But Elijah was much more seasoned after all, he quickly smiled slightly and said, “Hello.”
“Hello!” Philip also smiled faintly.
There were already flickers between the two by just looking at each other. They both knew who each other was and each had their own thoughts, but both people had them unanimously hidden deeply.
Philip stretched out his hand all of a sudden, took out a red box from his pocket and handed it to Esther in front of Elijah, “This is a gift for you Esther, my good babe!”
Esther?! Good babe?!
Elijah did not mishear that appellation! Who the hell was he? And moreover, he’s too young to have Esther as his babe. A turn of his eyes, Elijah met Philip derisive looking eyes. He then knew that Philip knew who he was, and he was taking advantage of him!
“Philip!” Esther was so embarrassed with him calling her babe that her face was all red, “What is this?”
Not giving her the chance to refuse, Philip smiled and said, “It was passed down from the ancestors. It was said to be my… father’s token of love to my mother, and now I’m giving it to you!”
Philip stuffed the box to Esther after finishing his sentence and left with a smile. His evil laughter made Elijah very upset whereas Esther could only watch Philip strode away before she could even speak to refuse.
“Hey Philip! Why are you giving this to me? I don’t want it!”
“Have a look at it before deciding if you want it or not.” Waving without looking back, Philip got into a car and drove away.
“I didn’t want this.” Esther immediately denied, “You, you help me return it to him!”
Yet Elijah narrowed his eyes dangerously, grabbed the box and opened it. His eyes were slightly stunned the moment he saw the emerald bracelet, he then returned it to Esther. “Since it’s a token of love for you, you should just accept it.”
“I-” Esther whimpered in dilemma.
Elijah turned around and strode towards the car.
Esther didn’t take a look at the box. She simply stuffed it into her backpack, trotted to catch up to Elijah and said fawningly, “Are you angry?”
Elijah was silent and walking straight ahead.
“What happened was, Christ Ball… that father of mine came looking for me, and we happened to meet Philip by chance. I didn’t want to talk to Christ so I used Philip and said that we were eating together. He actually saw right through me but still helped me, and I was embarrassed so I ate buns with him. That was what happened, we only had a meal together! Can you please say something, Elijah Perry? I’m not feeling good, what do you mean by this? You’re scaring me, do you know that your face is darker than a crow’s? It can even be compared to a black sow’s butt! I didn’t betray you, why do you look like you were cuckolded?”
“Damn it!” Elijah cursed; this woman was trying to piss him off.
Seeing that Elijah wasn’t happy, Esther’s heart was unease again, “Hubby, can you please stop having such a profound and incomprehensible expression on your face? I really just had a meal with a friend, I didn’t expect him to give me this!”
Elijah raised his eyebrows and gave out a cold hum.
The only scary thing was Elijah getting angry, so Esther coquettishly pulled and shook Elijah’s arm with a flattering and pleasing smile, “Say something.”
The corners of that cherry-red lips curled up delicately, that pleasing and flattering expression on her face, making him almost unable to refuse. Elijah opened the car door and stuffed Esther inside.
The car started, drove away and arrived at J City Eco Forest in a flash. Esther swallowed, “You, why did you bring me here?”
“I’m not angry.” Elijah said in a deep voice.
“Gah!” Esther blinked her eyes, “I was scared to death! I thought you were angry again!”
“You can have meals with him.” He said, again in a deep voice.
“Why?” Esther didn’t understand what was going on at all and was momentarily stunned. “Haven’t you always been stingy? Why have you suddenly become so generous? And why did you bring me here? What about Hudson and Winnie’s video? Can you say something?”
“Can you not ask me so many questions all at once?” Elijah couldn’t take it anymore and growled lowly, glaring at Esther in frustration.
“Alright.” Esther nodded, “Ah-”
The chair was put down suddenly, but Esther’s body instinctively stayed upright. Elijah’s body leaned forward all of a sudden and fiercely pressed Esther down. He kissed her red lips peremptorily, this silly woman really was his nemesis.
After a few moments, gasping sounds were getting louder and louder, the two of them, who kissed intimately together, were gradually enveloped in lust. Esther gasped and her gaze inadvertently swept over Elijah’s legs, “You, you didn’t bring me here for this?”
“Why? Can’t I?” Elijah said stifled, glaring at Esther discontentedly. He kissed onto Esther’s lips fiercely, “This is what I mean, do you have an opinion?”
“Nope! No!” Esther shook her head fiercely, her small hands wrapped around Elijah’s neck, “But aren’t you afraid of being videotaped? I don’t want a video of us to be uploaded to the Internet!”
“Don’t worry, the car windows have films, so it can’t be seen through.” Elijah said gruffly.
“Heh, heh-” Esther giggled with a low hum, “But I don’t want it!”
“You dare?” It seemed that he was being too gentle, that she still has the time to think at times like this. Elijah smiled slyly and his deep ink-like eyes gradually tinged with a hint of ambiguity…
(Indescribable)…
When Esther finally got dressed, she half leaned on the seat without strength and looked at Elijah askance, she pouted while saying, “Did you take aphrodisiacs?”
Why was his stamina so good?
Elijah laughed lowly, “I’m in a good mood today!”
“I can see that!” Esther said.
Elijah brought her here and made out twice before they hurried back to the apartment. After showering, Esther wore a nightgown without anything underneath and took her backpack into the study. Elijah had a bath towel wrapped around his waist and was using a towel to wipe off the water droplets from his face.
“Why do you want me to accept the gift? And what the heck is this?” asked Esther.
She was tidying her backpack in the study when saw the emerald bracelet and she also had one of those.
Esther immediately ran to the bedroom to get hers. It was the same type of box, a small wooden box wrapped in a delicate red flannel which looked exquisite. She opened it and put together both of the emerald bracelet that was radiating green light, and it was a pair. Even the packaging box was the same.
Esther frowned, “Huh? How can they be the same? How come Philip had one too?”
Elijah’s gaze projected onto the table, watching quietly.
Esther turned back to look at him, “Isn’t it strange? Why does this pair of bracelets look like they were made a pair?”
Elijah looked at her, still not saying anything.
“Ah-” Esther squealed in a sudden, “Could it be? Could they have been a pair all along?”
Elijah nodded, “It looks like a pair. From the alignment of the pattern, it looks like it was taken from the same piece of jade.”
“Ah- Can it be that he and I had a child marriage, and we would use this as a meeting token after we grew up? Then does it mean that I have to marry him? Elijah, do I have to divorce you for this child marriage set from childhood? It seems that this is how they acted on TV, but that seems to happen only in ancient times.” Esther was using her imagination to the fullest.
Elijah’s face sank instantly, “How do you know that it’s a love token?”
“Then what could it be?”
“Maybe he’s your family?”
“Ah-Then could his surname also be Ball? Could he be the child of Christ and another woman? Isn’t Christ being too horny? My goodness, does this mean I have another family member?”
“Maybe Christ isn’t even your real father!”
“Is that possible?”
“Keep it well, won’t we just know if we personally went and ask Philip about it?”
“But what if he really was my child marriage? Elijah, he looked so handsome, gorgeous and fabulous. The look of him when he smiled was so kind. He looked outstanding too, what can I do? What if I fell in love with him? The decision would be so hard, I’m starting to feel a bit reluctant already.”
The moment those words left Esther’s mouth, she felt a cold chill coming from behind her, “Say that again!”
“What if I fell in love with Philip who’s such a gorgeous-ahh-” Esther was pressed down till she was lying on the table…
“Elijah Perry, I’ve fallen into your hands for this life, right?” After a round, Esther was in Elijah’s arms, the two of them leaned on the big bed, comfortably enjoying the afternoon sunshine.
“You have an opinion with that?”
“Then I won’t have the chance to cheat on you in this life, will I?” Esther asked again, undeterred.
“You think that once and I do it once, until you can’t even crawl anymore!” Elijah threatened Esther with this.
“But I still want to cheat!”
“Then let’s do it again.”
One, two, three, four!
“It’s not fair! Why? Can’t I even think about it?”
“No!”
“Who’s more tired between the two of us, Elijah Perry?”
“Me.”
“Can you still do it?”
“Do you want to try again?”
“I beg for forgiveness, but I still want to cheat. Can I cheat on you mentally?”
“Let’s continue!”…
“Are you still going to cheat, babe?” Elijah asked in a deep voice after another round.
“Shut up… I’m sleepy…”…
