She could never believe that she didn’t feel hungry even though she had not eaten. But was he still coming back?
What’s even stranger was that she was a little disappointed that he hadn’t come back by now and she was actually looking forward to it.
She suddenly thought of the words that Hudson said, “You’re attached to Elijah Perry, aren’t you?”
Could it be that she really began to care about Elijah?
Thinking of him exuding an evil and cold aura, she could not help but doubt that…
The door opened at that moment.
Esther looked up subconsciously, meeting her was the devilishly handsome face in her contemplation. He came back! Her heart seemed to be relieved and was actually feeling slightly joyful.
And in Elijah’s hand was a bag. He frowned slightly when he saw Esther sitting on the couch with the tv flashing an unknown tv series.
Esther didn’t say anything, but she was panicking inside so she pretended to watch tv.
Elijah swept his eyes across the house and there wasn’t even the slightest sign. He placed the plastic bag on the coffee table without speaking.
Esther subconsciously sneaked a peek at the bag. The fragrant scent of food could be smelled, and she froze, looking up at him, her stomach grumbled at that moment.
It was so embarrassing.
Esther’s face turned red again!
“Why didn’t you eat?” Elijah’s tone was cold, it had been seven to eight hours and she still hadn’t eaten yet.
“Weren’t you the one who said that I can’t touch water?” Esther asked rhetorically, throwing the question back at Elijah.
“Did I say that you couldn’t eat?”
Before Esther could answer, Elijah cupped her face and leaned down to seal her slightly opened lips.
His kiss was quick and intense this time, it was like the moment a thirsty man found a water source and drank it recklessly as if there was no stop to it.
At last, when he was at the edge of his blood boiling, Elijah let go of Esther.
Esther was chagrined, “You, you—”
Elijah did it on purpose, was it fun to tease her?
Esther didn’t say anything, but her stomach growled again.
Elijah didn’t speak as well. Since he kissed her already, Elijah let Esther go and just looked at her.
Neither of them said anything for a while.
