A Moment in Destiny

The moment he passed by her, Elijah’s indifferent face showed a joyful smile as he could see a hint of depression and panic in Esther’s bright eyes.

“Pervert!” Esther snorted again the moment she passed him in a voice which only she could hear.

“And you’ve just become the woman of this pervert!” A cold voice rang out and only then, Esther immediately stiffened at the kitchen doorway while looking up at him.

His deep eyes blinked.

She took a deep breath as she was not in anger but in pain. Her heart was ached painfully, and she hated this man who had taken away her first time which she had reserved for Mr. Ball.

“Go away, don’t spoil my appetite!” She glared at him fiercely, not thinking that it was cool to show a cold face as she wasn’t intimidated!

“I think you would cry at least!”

A cold voice rang out suddenly behind her. With her slim body lurched, Esther turned back and glared at him. “I’m not that as fragile as you think! Isn’t it just a membrane? I don’t care!”

Elijah pursed his lips and didn’t speak anything, but his taut body revealed his mood at the moment and his eyes were even more dangerously fell on Esther’s face.

What a damn woman who dared to talk to him like that!

Esther walked nearer to him and glared at him fiercely, “Elijah Perry, since Miss Cole is the most important person to you, I don’t understand why you can still play with another woman when she becomes vegetative. Don’t you think that you are too perverted?”

Elijah frowned slightly with his thin lips so tightly pursed that no one was able to see his emotions.

Esther’s sense of justice surged out again when she felt sorry for Kattie at the moment with her fist clenching tightly at her side.

Elijah looked at Esther for a long time until she felt a little diffident. What was his expression? It was gloomy and frightening.

Then, Elijah turned around to go upstairs without answering her words.

“Elijah Perry!” Esther was furious.

By the time Elijah turned around, he was attacked with Esther’s slap struck on his handsome face.

Elijah didn’t expect her to slap him, he didn’t mean he couldn’t avoid it but just that he didn’t expect it and suffer her slap in silence. He looked up and saw Esther with a murderous look which was going to slap him for the second time.

“Damn it!” Elijah cursed in a low voice. His hand abruptly held her wrist and a soaring anger instantly rose in his eyes.

Esther stared at him with a deadly glare and said in a loud voice, “This slap is for Miss Cole who is dying and for you are still in the mood to make love with another women!”

Elijah’s eyes flashed quickly but flickered away in an instant.

“Let me go!” Esther looked at Elijah who was fiercely holding her wrist with a strong force that was going to crush her bones while squeezing them bit by bit that she could even hear the sound of bones rubbing against each other with severe pain.

With her pale face, Esther suddenly raised her eyebrows while glancing at the hand being pinched by Elijah in defiance before she stomped down quickly. As a result, her thin body swayed a few times before she regained her footing and raised her head, and she coldly responded to Elijah who had a gloomy and serious face.
