There was a little figure curling up on the car seat. Her head was resting on her knees with her legs on the car seat. She looked like a puppy who was afraid of being abandoned. His heart twitched and trembled a little. He didn’t know. On these more than one thousand days and nights, she had been waiting for him to come back. Who stayed with her when she was pregnant and giving birth?
He suddenly realized that he had no right to own her.
She should be angry and even furious! But he knew that in this lifetime, both of them could not leave each other again. His babe was waiting for him to apologize and compensate her. He stretched out his hand to open the door.
When Esther heard there was some sound outside, she raised her head and her heartbeat went disorderly due to she was gasping for air fiercely. She turned her head in panic and couldn’t care about her embarrassed appearance. She quickly stopped him from opening the door.
“So, you’re here…” Elijah used his hand to block hers. The door was opened, he paused and suddenly it became difficult to speak, “I thought… you don’t want me anymore.”
She was startled and remained silent.
Elijah frowned and stopped moving. Both of their hearts beat very fast. His sweat kept flowing down from his forehead. She always made him feel difficult to hold a grip on himself. “No, I’ll never leave again! Now I have more than enough abilities to protect you, so no need to be afraid anymore!”
Her tears were flowing down from the corner of her eyes. She finally felt relieved. As he looked at her tears, he tried to endure the pain from his lower body as he wiped her tears away patiently. “I’ll never leave you again. Don’t cry anymore, babe.”
She sobbed even louder and moved her body. He immediately gasped for a while.
She moved even more and he was excited knowing she was taking initiative. He was so happy that he almost jumped up and not feeling depressed anymore. He kissed her lips wildly as he moved his body quickly and deeper. He was eager to release the strength within himself which had been overly accumulated for the past four years. He would not mind having sex with her for the next fifteen days.
So, in the deep forest of J Park, both of them had sex wildly.
When everything was over, she touched the wound on his chest. She stroked his chest with both of her hands looking very concerned and asked. “How did this happen?”
He was startled for a while, “When we were smuggling in Southeast Asia, I was shot! Luckily, I wasn’t dead!”
The way he explained was understated but her heart was already stirred up. She remained silent and leaned on his arm quietly. Instead of asking about how he spent his life for the past four years, she threw a tantrum during their first reunion. Well, she felt that she could not be considered as a good wife too. Therefore, she started to feel sorry about it.
“Don’t worry, it’s all over!” Elijah held the hand on his chest. The feeling of joy and excitement flashed through his eyes, “Babe, let me tell you something. Kattie and Josh Gunn are together now! That person who hurt you last time!”
“The person in the video, right?” Esther did not like him at all. “It’s too disgusting, he actually started performing in the public!”
Although Esther knew that it was all because of her master, she could not help mentioning that she and Elijah almost broke up because of Kattie and Josh Gunn.
“I still want to thank Josh Gunn for doing the plastic surgery to look like me. The organization arranged to get a substitute for me. When I was in danger, he blocked a fatal shot for me. Both of us were sent to the hospital at the same time! Now, the organization has entered a new era. Everyone has a new life, Josh Gunn went to do plastic surgery to be himself again. Now, he’s settling down with Kattie in Australia!”
“Yes, it’s nice!”
“Let’s go home!” She replied.
“Okay!”
He drove his car and brought her leaving the place.
“How about my car?”
“I’ll ask someone to drive it!”
“I can drive myself home.”
“You can only stay together with me, we won’t be separated again, not even a second!” He announced domineeringly.
When they were passing by halfway of the mountain, Esther subconsciously looked at the other side. Then, she offered a prayer on the spot where her master was buried. Elijah was startled, “What’re you doing?”
Esther remained silent. She did not know if she should tell him about the death of her master. Although she was ordered by the master not to tell him, she hesitated.
In the Perry family.
“Oh! Mum! Dad!” Iris rushed out as soon as she heard the sound of the car’s engine.
“Iris, don’t run!” Hugo already caught up to her quickly, “Careful, slow down!”
Before the words finished, the little girl had already fallen on the floor.
“I already told you, slow down!”
“Oh… it hurts!” Iris almost wanted to cry.
Hugo helped her to get up and pat the dust on her clothes. “Ok, Ok, not a big deal!”
He blew a few breaths on her little hand. Iris literally stopped crying and chuckled. She even forgot about her parents.
When Elijah and Esther got off the car, they saw a little boy wearing a small black suit like a gentleman was holding the hand of a little girl. Although they were so little, Esther had a feeling that they were a good pair. Oh! He was the playmate whom Iris used to talk about, right?
“Whose child is he? He looks so cute!” Esther could not help asking.
“He’s Gabriel’s son. Gabriel now runs one of the branches under the organization!”
Elijah looked at both Iris and Hugo. It reminded him about the time when he first met with his babe when they were young. He was thinking if possible, he would not mind his daughter having such a childhood friend who had such a high IQ. He believed that Gabriel would not mind either.
“Do you still feel hurt?” Hugo asked.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore!” Iris answered with a big smile.
“Iris!” Esther could not help interrupting her nymphomaniac daughter.
“Mum! Dad!” When Iris heard her mother’s voice, she immediately answered happily.
“Yes!” Esther nodded and looked at Hugo, He was so adorable. This little boy had red lips and white teeth and she presumed that he must be a handsome boy! He was the same age as Oscar! Both were handsome boys! Looking at him, she smiled.
“Hello, Esther! My name is Hugo. My mother and Mr. Burton have something to do therefore I need to stay in your family for a few days.” Hugo tried to explain why he was here.
“Oh, that’s okay! Make yourself at home, that will be great if you can help me to look after Iris a little more, don’t let her stay near Mr. Perry especially don’t let her saliva drop on his face, okay?”
“Ah!” Hugo was startled because when he raised his head, Iris was carried by Elijah already.
Iris was hugging Elijah’s neck intimately, “Daddy, oh…”
“What are you at laughing at?” Elijah looked at her daughter who was so adorable. She made him feel a hint of pride and he showed a faint and gentle smile again.
“Did my mother bite you?”
“Oh?” Elijah raised his eyebrow.
Iris stroked Elijah’s neck. It was Esther’s love bite. “Let me blow for daddy, it does not pain anymore!”
At that moment, his face blushed even though he was over 30 years old. Why was the feeling of being caught by his daughter similar to the feeling of being caught by his lover? Uh! No! It was that story. It must be that story!
Elijah felt slightly awkward. It was that story that caused this.
As soon as he raised his head, both Esther and Hugo were looking at him.
His babe was so mad that her eyes were burning, and Elijah suddenly felt something wrong.
As he looked at Hugo, there was a strong possessiveness in his eyes. Uh, that was a gaze that the only man should have, right? How old was this little boy?
But Hugo’s gaze made Elijah feel inexplicably guilty. He immediately put his daughter down. He did not want to be another man’s ‘rival in love, not to be his son-in-law’s too.
“Baby, you can walk by yourself!”
After Elijah put Iris down, Esther’s gaze became gentle a little. Hugo came over and held Iris’s hand. “I’ll hold you, don’t fall down!”
The two children entered the house first. Esther narrowed her eyes and elbowed the man beside her. She asked, “Ask Gabriel if he accepts a child bride. If not, we can send Iris to his house. Who knows she will be part of their family. Um, even if she isn’t, that’s fine. Just think of it as Gabriel adopted a daughter!”
“Babe, don’t be so cruel! Iris is our daughter!”
“Hmph!” Esther ignored him and took a step forward. She turned her back to Elijah and showed a cunning smile secretly. She entered the living room and shouted, “Grandpa, the walking disaster is back! Please come out to greet me!”
…
It had been quite some time that the house had so many noises. It was not the children who made such airy noises. When Tim heard the sound from upstairs, he immediately went downstairs.
When he finally saw Esther whom he hadn’t seen for the past four years, he finally felt relieved and walked down the stairs with a smile on his face. “Esther, it’s really you. You’re back!”
“Yes, grandpa! I’m the walking disaster!” Esther raised her eyebrows and replied provocatively.
“It is unexpected that even we haven’t seen each other for more than four years, you still look energetic as always. I guess you’re the old fart who never dies, right?”
The way she said sounded serious, but her eyes seemed cunning.
Tim was not angry at all. “This little girl loves to hold grudges so much! I had no choice back then; I did not want you to be a widow too. My good intention had been hated by you for so many years, sorry if I had offended you!”
Esther blinked again. “Yes, there’s nothing good about me. The only thing that I’m good at is holding grudges. I’d like to curse you for living more than a hundred years to suffer as much as you can. Also, I want you to live in guilt every day. How can you say that your smart and brave granddaughter-in-law is a walking disaster? I have to hold this grudge forever, otherwise, I will feel sorry for myself!”
When Tim heard the word ‘hundred-year’, his face showed a bigger smile, and walked forward towards Esther. He held Esther’s hand and patted gently. “Esther, I’d like to thank you!”
Esther’s eyes turned red but she said, “What are you thanking me for?”
“You’re a kind woman. I’d like to thank you for giving birth to Iris for Elijah. You’ve suffered too much these years!”
“That’s right, I had a rough time. It was not easy for me to take the role of both father and mother, right? At the same time, I had to think if I was a walking disaster anytime too. Sigh, it was such a pain to live on!”
“Hahaha…” Tim looked at her as being talkative. He knew that she was saying it on purpose.
Esther suddenly said, “Grandpa, how do you confirm that Iris is Elijah’s daughter, who knows maybe she’s someone’s daughter instead. As soon as I entered the house, you should have scolded me! Continue scolding me then!”
