Esther seemed to be afraid of him. She even left the half-eaten bun and ran quickly into Philip’s room. Where should she be hiding? Where should she be hiding? She wandered around the room and suddenly saw a closet. She opened the closet’s door and got in.
When Elijah knocked on the door, the door was opened. Philip turned around calmly and looked at the doorway. Then, he picked up a dumpling and put it into his mouth. He asked playfully, “You’re here?”
“Where’s my Babe?” Elijah asked gently. His voice was deep. If he was not Esther’s brother, he would not be so polite. Perhaps, the door would be smashed last night.
“Sit down!” Philip talked endlessly and moved towards the sofa.
Elijah did not sit down as he looked at the half-eaten soup dumpling. He blinked a little and walked towards the bedroom.
“Elijah, this is my house!” Philip said in a deep tone. “Are you being too casual?”
The answer that he received was the sound of slamming the door. It showed that how manly this man was to go into someone’s bedroom without any consent!
As soon as the door was closed, the person in the closet was shivering, Amitabha! Amitabha! You couldn’t see me! You couldn’t see me!
Esther was praying in the closet while hoping that she would not be found. Now she was wearing another man’s shirt and she did not go back all night. What if Elijah knew about this, would she be alright?
But that pair of sharp eyes saw a pair of male slippers under the closet’s door. Elijah walked straight towards it and opened the door immediately.
Esther raised her eyes in horror as she looked at Elijah’s angry face.
“Hello!” Esther smiled awkwardly. “Elijah, how do you know that I’m in here? What a coincidence!”
Elijah rolled his eyes effortlessly, lowered his head, and looked at her. She was wearing another man’s oversized sleeping clothes. Curling up and locking herself in the closet, she looked embarrassed and flattered.
“Elijah, I didn’t cheat on you!” Esther explained immediately. Although she wanted to cry when she thought of what had happened yesterday and she admitted that she wanted to cry when she saw his handsome face at this moment, she thought it would be better to explain about it first!
“What a stupid woman!” After a long silence, Elijah’s low sigh was filled with helplessness and sorrow. He grabbed Esther’s hand and gently pulled her out.
There was neither the expected thunderstorm nor his weird-looking face. He seemed helpless and relieved at the same time.
“Huh?” Esther was startled. “You, are you not angry about it?”
That was not right! That should not be!
“Elijah, what I’m wearing is another man’s clothes? I didn’t go back the whole night. Are you not angry about it?” She tried to confirm again cautiously.
There were many kinds of emotions entangling in her heart. Elijah lowered his head and looked at her. She was afraid that she might be misunderstood, right? She was being considerate to him. He did not know if he should be angry or felt sorry for her. Anyway, he felt so bad for her in his heart.
“Stupid!” Just a single word came out from his lips.
“Elijah, are you not angry with me?” She asked cautiously again.
As soon as Elijah lowered his head, he quickly put his lips on Esther’s. It was a passionate kiss with compassion and affection. He stretched his hands to wrap Esther’s body tightly.
The sensation of both lips was like thirsty fishes found their water source. Elijah kissed arrogantly and wildly to the person who seemed to be startled and stiffed in his arms.
After a long while, until both could not breathe then only Elijah ended the kiss reluctantly. He hugged her body gently in a very extraordinary way and asked silently, “Are you that afraid of me being angry? Go back and make me happy then I’ll forgive you!”
“Wait, what?” Esther suddenly raised her head and asked in confusion. She asked with her swollen lips. What did he just say?
“Let’s go, let’s go home.” Elijah sighed a little. He hugged Esther tightly. He looked at her who was still in confusion. He wanted to tell her that the man outside was her family. However, Philip seemed like that he did not say anything to her. He could roughly guess Philip’s intention, so he decided not to tell Esther about Philip’s identity for the time being.
Both walked out.
Philip ate another soup dumpling and drank a glass of water. He turned around and looked at them. His handsome face looked stagnant. He slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said it in a neither too fast nor too slow pace, “Oh, that’s not fun, you were found too fast!”
Then, he paused and asked in a deep tone. “Babe, Christ had lied to you, how do we teach him a lesson?”
“Huh? Why did you call me ‘Babe’?” Esther only realized what Philip called her, she asked in confusion.
Philip did not say a word and looked at Elijah’s face. Elijah did not say anything as well.
“I’m talking about Christ!” Philip replied.
“Oh! About him, oh yes! Why did he say that I’m his daughter? And, he even showed me my mother’s photo, it seemed like he loved my mother so much!” Esther thought for a while and continued. “But Hudson mentioned that I’m not his sister! Then Christ is not my father, right? I don’t like him to be my father! Luckily, he wasn’t!”
She turned around and looked at Elijah. She said, “But I do want to ask Christ personally!”
“You don’t have to go anywhere! You don’t have to do all these!” Elijah held her little hand and looked back at Philip.
“My babe is a student. I only want her to focus on her studies!”
“I know better than you!” Philip blinked at him. “Are you two leaving like this?”
There was no answer. Elijah brought Esther together and left!
Philip smiled gently. His smile was real this time, he looked at their departed backs and sighed. ‘Finally, I found my sister! My father and mother should rest in peace in heaven, I will take revenge for them!’
In the apartment.
As soon as they walked into the room, Elijah started to take off her clothes.
“Elijah! Listen to me!” Esther shouted quickly.
“Don’t say anything!” Elijah replied in a deep voice as he slowly unbuttoned Philip’s clothes she was wearing. Elijah’s eyes sank when he saw the hickeys in between her neck and chest.
Esther lowered her head and tried to explain in panic, “Yesterday, Hudson suddenly went crazy, but nothing had happened! It’s true! After that, he let me go!”
“I know!” He murmured. He looked at her little face affectionately. “I know everything!”
“Aren’t you angry?” She asked.
“It’s fine!” He replied. Luckily, Hudson did not continue to do anything further. But finally, he knew that he and Esther had no family bonds.
As Elijah looked at Esther, he gently rubbed her skin and slowly kissed her from her neck. He was kissing to cover all the marks a little by little and replaced them with his kisses.
…
His kisses were warm.
“Elijah, I want to go back to my bedroom!” She felt that she could not stand it anymore!
Elijah carried her to the bedroom. He put her down. As he got up, she suddenly held his neck. “Where are you going?”
“Take a towel!” He said.
“Don’t!” She shook her head and looked at him pitifully. Her eyes were deadly attractive.
Elijah was startled a little and his eyes which were under his handsome sword alike eyebrows filled with love. “Are you inviting me?”
Esther blushed. Her eyes confirmed it.
“Babe, do you know how beautiful you are?” His low and rough voice was full of pampering and affection.
“I don’t want Hudson to touch me, I don’t love him anymore! Elijah, I don’t want anyone to touch me!” She whispered in his ear. “I only want you…”
Elijah paused for a while and smiled happily with his pair of dark eyes. His eyes darkened.
“Babe, you’re such a little fairy!”
He whispered to her.
After he finished talking, he hugged her tightly into his arms and kissed her trembling lips wildly.
“You, you…” Esther was panting so hard.
She could not breathe…
After a while, Esther woke up from his arms.
When she opened her eyes, she stared at his extremely handsome face without blinking.
He had thick eyebrows, an upright nose along thin lips, and long eyelashes. Although his eyes were closed at this moment, his face looked noble undoubtedly.
He was so good-looking that she could not stop thinking about having all of him by herself. She felt strange why she would be so addicted to him now that she even would not let Hudson touch her, perhaps she was in love with Elijah?
Esther was asking herself in her heart! Yes! She was in love with Elijah, she could not stop herself from loving him. She loved him, it was that simple.
Falling in love with Elijah made her unable to accept anyone even it was Hudson!
She raised her head and looked at him. Whether his eyes were opened or closed, his face was so enchanting and attractive.
Esther raised her single hand gently and slowly stroked his eyes with her fingertips without using any strength.
His eyes were always so enthusiastic, that little flame could burn anyone instantly without sanity…
Hudson stood in front of the doorway of the villa. He was hesitating while standing in front of the door. He looked at the closed door and wondering if he wanted to go in or not. Even if he walked in, how could he face Winnie?
His heart was suffering as he needed to bear the fact that Esther was not his sister but he could not be with her. God knew that he was going crazy! Couldn’t he be with Esther again in his lifetime?
He took a deep breath and slammed the door open. He never wanted to face Winnie who was standing in the living room and just turned around to face him. Hudson was startled for a moment.
“Hudson! You’re back?” She did not leave all this while because that night she thought that their relationship had gone better. Therefore, she did not leave without any notice. She was waiting for some words from him. Unexpectedly, she ended up waiting for three days.
His expression was slightly dull. He nodded without looking at her. He was deeply attracted by her excitement shown on her face when he appeared in front of her.
She was looking forward to his arrival! It turned out that there was someone who was still looking forward to seeing him in this world. His lonely heart instantly warmed up.
