A Moment in Destiny

Ethel was stunned and then felt delighted. He just wanted to know what was going on with Esther and Elijah. It would be best to be able to observe them at the dinner table. But right now, he turned his head. "You two sit down first. I'm going to the bathroom!"

After saying that, Ethel turned around and walked towards the bathroom.

Esther turned around and went to a window seat and sat down.

Elijah also walked over and sat down opposite her.

She looked up at him, and always felt a little awkward after that incident that day. She felt awkward thinking about taking off her clothes and then having him put them back on.

She looked up at him, who looked tired. The feeling he gave as he sat on the soft seat was cold and unapproachable.

Esther couldn't help but clench her small hands at her side into fists. The atmosphere was a little awkward. She didn't say anything, and he remained silent either. She also felt that such a dining atmosphere was not good and affected her appetite, so she took the initiative to say, "Well, Miss Cole is very stable now, and she looks better too!"

"Good!" He replied curtly, while his cold black eyes deepened, and then he looked at her with gleaming eyes.

She froze, then he beckoned and called the waiter, "Order whatever you want!"

She froze, "On you or on him?"

He raised an eyebrow. "What's the difference?"

"He said he would pay the bill!" Esther whispered. "If it's on him, I'll order more!"

He remained silent for a moment and asked with doubt. "What if it's on me?"

"Then I'll keep it simple!"

"Why?" It was rare for him to ask.

"I don't want to owe you!" She pursed her lips. Because she didn't know how to pay it back. She didn't want to trade her body for food again.

A trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes. Why did he feel that her relationship with Ethel had become unusual when they had not seen each other for only a week?

He surveyed her and leaned his tall body a little closer to her. Across the table, his tall body astonished her. He said two words softly, "On him."

Esther was a little nervous as he stared at her. She swallowed but still felt a little creeped out. So she spoke defensively, "Are you angry?"

Although she didn't know what he was angry about, she felt as if he was angry.

"Miss, please order your meal!" The waiter said.
