A Moment in Destiny

Elijah stood up to clean the table. He went to the kitchen to wash the tableware silently.

Esther frowned due to confusion. Why did he become so indifferent suddenly?

Before this, they either quarreled or just had sex whenever they met each other. But now, he acted so indifferently, and it made her feel uncomfortable. But he was the actual owner of the apartment whereas she just lived there temporarily.

Esther switched on the television and laid down on the sofa. She felt super comfortable watching the television after having a meal. She liked so much being a “pig”, which did not have any worries, ate until full, then slept after that. As long as she did not think of those worries, she would not feel upset. However, when she watched the television, she was still distracted!

It was because she switched to the entertainment channel and she saw Elijah at her first glance.

He was surrounded by reporters and they were asking him about his marriage.

Esther was panicked and suddenly curious about his reply. On the television, he looked calm and indifferent while staring at the camera with his sharp eyes. He said steadily, “Guys, this is my private life, and I would like to express my gratitude for your concern! But I would like to take this opportunity to declare that I am single currently and it will remain the same for the next few years!”

“President, I heard that you have engaged, and Miss Price is your wife. Can you explain about it?” A reporter asked.

“Esther?” Elijah asked back. “Is she my wife?”

With a counterargument, he threw back the question to the reporter.

Esther looked at it blankly. He did not admit it. Then, she heard that he said, “Please don’t simply make a guess and leave some space to Miss Price as well as me too!”

After saying such a simple sentence, Elijah left under the protection of bodyguards with a calm and elegant attitude.

Esther was stunned and she felt a little odd. Elijah mentioned that he was still single and would not be married in the next few years. Was their marriage considered a hidden marriage?

Elijah walked out of the kitchen and wiped his hands with a towel. Esther quickly changed the television channel to prevent him from knowing that she was watching the entertainment channel. However, Elijah who had an excellent hearing did not miss the entertainment news just now.

He looked at her small face with his sharp eyes. She was like evading and dared not look into his deep eyes.

He sat down beside her, and she immediately moved away a bit to keep a distance from him.

“Remote control!” She passed the remote control to him.

He raised his hand and received it.

He pressed the remote control with his big hand and changed the channel to an entertainment channel. The television was showing the follow-up news regarding the gossip on his marriage with Esther. Someone said that he kept a beauty secret while the others said that he had not married at all. Rumors were saying he did not even care about that little orphan so he would not pay attention to her. The woman that the president of Perry Group would look for should be someone who was matching with each other in the background.

If Esther would like to marry into a wealthy family, it was incredibly difficult!

Both of them looked at the news silently and he did not move. After the news ended, he changed the channel to watch the financial news. She felt that she was panting and slightly suffocated, but she did not stand up and left.

She felt awkward if she continued sitting together with him because she did not like to watch financial news. Esther did not pay attention to the contents displayed on the television.
