A Moment in Destiny

“Did you mean that day I fed Kattie?” He sighed and said, “It's all because of you, you made me do that!”

“Did I?” Esther was stunned. “When did I ask you to do that?”

“Why can you wear a man's clothes and I can't feed a woman?” he asked back.

“Uh! You are not going back home yet at night!”

“I was discussing the state of her condition with the doctor that night and I just wanted to let her recover soon to relieve your burden!” He said solemnly.

“But you have been with her for several nights, even if there are caregivers, you are still with her! You didn’t return home at the night I was poisoned?”

“I was in the company that night. Didn't I just go there in the morning? I didn't expect to meet you and Philip early in the morning...”

“Weren't you staying in the hospital that night?” She was a little surprised.

“Well! The only night that I stayed in the hospital was when the expert was invited!”

“Did you purposely act so affectionate with Kattie in front of me?” She asked in disbelief and yet she was still suspicious. “You mean you want me to get jealous?”

He smiled faintly and quietly. Then, he stared at her red lips with some thoughts in his heart.

Suddenly, he clenched his hand hard. He grasped her thoughts and whispered, “Babe, let's make up!”

Esther arched her back uncomfortably, he… It seemed like there was a light tease that itched her heart but her mind was still very messy. “I'm tired, don't touch me!”

He stopped teasing her immediately.

She stated again, “You are allowed to hug me to sleep! However, you are not allowed to touch me!”

“Uh!” He was stunned for a moment. “Babe, you are torturing me purposely!”

His lips slid down slowly. It slid over her chin, lower jaw, and then to her tender neck and her fair chest. Her hot skin was like a fire, and her lips was like a piece of jade that was heating up slowly.

“Elijah, if you dare to touch me tonight, I will run away and stay at Hudson’s house and will never come back again!” She took the opportunity to threaten him.

“Babe, you are looking down on me!” Elijah got into the quilt and embraced her. He stopped moving. “Don't worry, even if you let me have sex with you tonight, I won't do it! Little fool, it's important to keep your health up!”

He had strong self-control which she didn’t know. Although he was suffering, he could bear it for her health.

The next day.

Esther was brought to the company by Elijah.

Esther was curious and so she asked him after he parked his car in front of the company. “Not going to visit Kattie?”

“She has those caregivers!” Elijah said solemnly.
