A Moment in Destiny

Esther suddenly raised her head and met a pair of dark eyes which were filled with deep sadness. There was some sense of surprise, playfulness, and happiness of rebirth in the darkness. It was complicated, astonished, and surprised. He didn’t expect that they would meet each other again in such a scene.

Esther's heart was beating so fast. She also didn’t expect that they would meet each other like this. So, she turned around and tried to run away.

Suddenly, a low and struggling male voice came from behind her, "Babe, stop!"

Esther stood still and took a deep breath.

Then, she turned around all of a sudden. Without raising her head, she lowered her head and looked at her daughter while walking towards her. Iris trembled instantly as she felt a cold breeze was coming towards her. The small body subconsciously leaned on Elijah and said faintly, "Mommy, we can talk about it later if you want. So, don’t be angry. I, I, I have found daddy!"

She knew that usually at this moment, mommy was angry. This was because her mother’s lips were pursed and she looked angry. She was usually in this look when she complained about her cooking. Her face looked fierce. Iris was the only person in this world who could make her angry. She had to be guilty.

Sometimes she would also ask, why mommy was mad at her and didn’t care about anything. Sometimes she would just look at her crying. What made mommy cry? It was okay that she couldn’t cook well. The old man said he wanted to eat better. But how come she didn’t see him lately? Did he really go to heaven? Was it possible that last time old man said he would be going to heaven, and did he really go there?

"Iris, you go with him. I’m very annoyed now, do you know it? Remember, don't disturb me for three days! Mommy will look for you after three days!" Esther didn’t look at Elijah. She just said coldly to her daughter.

She didn’t want to see the father-daughter reunion scene. She didn't want to see that heartbreaking scene. She didn’t want to cry as she had cried too much already!

"Mommy—" Iris wanted to say something else.

"Shut up!" Esther said impatiently.

Iris immediately silenced. It seemed that she had been living in fear since small.

"Babe—" Elijah called fondly.

Esther ignored him. She still didn't look at him not even a glance as she was angry. She was mad at him for taking so long to come back. Also, she was angry that he came and left whenever he wanted. Besides, he as the chief of LN Group could have used all his connections to find her, but he did not do so. He had come back to G City for a month already and only looked for her now. What made him think that she should be hugging him and calling him husband happily?

What gave him the right to ask for that? By what?

"Babe—"

“Mommy—”

“Don’t call me!” Esther left quickly.

‘I don’t want the child anymore. I don’t want the man either. I just want to be cool!’ She snorted.

The father and daughter looked at the woman who left. They were both stunned.

Iris let go of Elijah's pants and stood aside. She raised her little face to look at Elijah with a smile. "Daddy, it turns out that mommy is also angry with you! I thought she is only angry
