A Moment in Destiny

Strangely, Elijah just looked at her deeply for a long while and then he got up.

Esther immediately got up and she fled away hurriedly like she was preventing a thief standing ten steps away from him.

But she ran so hard that he bumped into the door.

“Uh-oh, it hurts!” she let out a low shout, and suddenly she realized there was someone behind; she immediately shut up and ran out.

Behind the back was a burst of very low laughter unexpectedly. Esther ran out and stopped. She stood next to the door and looked inside in a sneaky way, “What, what are you laughing at?”

Woah! What a beautiful smile that was!

Just a slight smile, but it looked so charming. That was the case perhaps. That man even had two deep dimples when he smiled, however he seldom smiled. By looking at that smile, the smile looked stiff but it was very charming. Especially the dimples.

Elijah raised her head and looked at the door, “No need to go tonight!”

“Why not?” she asked.

“There is a caregiver!” he put away his smile. There was a hint of helplessness flashed across his determined face, which had lost its past ruthlessness. His eyes locked quietly on the small face which was shown at the doorway, “Go with me to a party!”.

“No!” she shook her head.

If she could not go to take care of Miss Cole, she would find another way to kill her time and then have a good sleep.

“If you don’t want me to use violence, you can refuse!” he said in a low voice.

“Pervert!” she hung her head in frustration.

He got up and she disappeared quickly.

He went out, took his clothes and went to her side without hesitation. He took her little hands and walked out of the door.

“Robber!” Esther shouted in a low voice.

“Don’t you want to meet your Mr. Ball? I take you to see him!” Elijah mocked with a cold smile, his deep eyes flashed a trace of gentleness and some mixed complex.

Sure enough, as soon as she heard ‘Mr. Ball’, Esther quietened down immediately with a dim face.

At the Banquet!

Esther dropped her head, leaving the stylist to help arrange her look. The lovely silver and gray color strapless dress together with the lovely bow on the chest, no need of any additional decoration. Esther put on the dress and suddenly became a little princess that everybody loved. It was simple and elegant, a wisp of hair hanging down, it outlined a trace of beautiful vividness on her face.

Maybe this was so called ‘pink face and peach cheeks’. She looked very happy after the makeup.
