A Moment in Destiny

The other end had said something, Elijah hung up the phone and looked down at her.

Esther said with a blush, "Help me get dressed!"

He went to the bedroom, got her a nightgown and helped her put it on, then told her with a smile. "Hudson and Winnie are remarried!"

Esther paused for a moment and smiled, "Hudson finally got it right!"

"He has registered a new company in the United States to fully acquire the shares of Ball Group!" Elijah added.

"What does it mean?"

"He wants to destroy Ball Group!"

"Ah—" Esther was stunned.

"It's all because of you!" Elijah let out a sigh. "I don't know if it's right or wrong for Winnie to remarry him!"

Elijah put on his pyjamas, walked to the coach, lit a cigarette, and took a drag.

For a moment, Esther understood what was going on and looked gloomy. Hudson couldn't accept the fact that Christ had cheated them. She went to knead the dough and remained silent. Some sadness lingered in her heart and she thought, 'Hudson, let it go, we really can never go back, can't we just live happily ever after?'

The cake was baked in no time.

Esther served two pieces on the plate and handed them to Elijah.

As Esther was about to eat the cake, her phone rang again. This phone was recently bought for her by Elijah. During this period, her phone kept getting broken and she didn't know how many phones she had replaced.

Esther went to get her phone and glanced at the screen, on which was an unfamiliar number she didn't recognize. When she picked up, she heard Christ's voice. "It's you?"

Why did he suddenly call her? Esther was suspicious and confused.

Since she knew that she wasn't his daughter, Esther was relieved. For some reason, she didn't like Christ at all and always rejected him inexplicably.

"What's the matter?"

"Esther, I'm so sorry, I want to apologize to you face to face!" Christ's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I don't need your apology, and I don't want to see you!" Esther said sternly, "I don’t want to see a man as unscrupulous as you. Sorry, please don't make me lose my appetite before my meal!"

With that, she hung up the phone decisively.

"Christ?" Elijah raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah!" Esther frowned and lost her appetite. After a while, Esther said, "I'd like to meet Hudson, can I?"
