A Moment in Destiny

"If it weren't for you, Hudson wouldn't have ignored me!" Winnie spat out and hung up the phone.

Esther felt puzzled and called back hurriedly, but Hudson answered the phone. "Esther, don't take it to your mind!"

"Hudson?" Esther could not help raise her voice. "You give the phone to Winnie; I don't want her to misunderstand me."

"No need!" Hudson said coldly, "Esther, let me ask you one more time. You've decided not to come back to me?"

Esther was stunned and thought about what Winnie had said. She nodded. "Yes, you are always my brother, but I will not come back to you anymore. Live a happy life with my sister-in-law!"

"OK! I won't force you. Let's pretend that we've never known each other from now on!" Hudson said cruelly and hung up the phone.

Esther held the phone, felt stifled and aggrieved. She was scolded in the afternoon and criticized in the evening, so she couldn't help but lay her face down on the bed and sob. She cried more and more loudly, and Elijah next door was bothered.

Elijah did not walk up but stood at his door and listened to Esther's sobs. Esther was only a seventeen-year-old girl, but she needed to bear so much.

Esther slept for a long time before she drowsily fell asleep.

In the night, Esther's door was pushed opened and a tall figure walked to the bedside and sat down. Esther was still sobbing when she was asleep. The skin around her eyes was reddened because she wiped the tears all the time. Looking at Esther who was sleeping, Elijah threw a complex gaze at her sleeping face.

Esther didn't sleep very well and sobbed from time to time. She saw Winnie smiling happily in the white wedding dress. Hudson who Esther loved most was holding Winnie's hand and walking past her as if she was a stranger to him.

"Hudson…" Esther cried, but Hudson ignored her. She shook her head painfully, and stretched out her hand to catch him but failed.

Looking at the small hand in the air, Elijah squinted and reached out to hold her small hand.

In an instant, Esther seemed to be at ease and stopped moving. A faint smile touched her lips and she murmured, "Hudson."

Hearing that, Elijah suddenly withdrew his hand.

"Hudson," Esther screamed and suddenly opened her eyes. Seeing Elijah's angry dark eyes, Esther screamed again, "Why are you in my room?"

Elijah fixed his cold and sharp gaze on Esther's small face, "What do you think?"

Esther put on a cautious expression, "How can I know?"

"You even have the nerve to question me." Elijah chuckled and sent down a chill over her spine. He curled his lips and said in a cold voice. "You think about men even when you're sleeping. Are you too lonely? Do I need to satisfy your desire?"
