The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Chapter 113

Chapter 113-Where the hell is my wife?!

Watching in silence, Elijah smiled at Peach taking off her heels in the car, tossing them aside on the floor, and then sluggishly relaxing on the seat, admiring the slightly dark evening sky before letting out, “Today was exhausting.

Who knew running a company could be so much work, even for just a day?”

“So, you don‘t want to do it again?"

Elijah

responded, his voice jovial.

Immediately shaking her head, Peach met his eyes and replied, “No, no! That‘s not what I meant at all.

I love work… I do.

And this is not me being ungrateful… It was just

A laugh escaped from Elijah‘s lips at her reaction, and then his attention pulled away when the car came to a stop.

Then he turned back to Peach, took her shoe, and reached his hand for her feet, pulling them towards him gently and then slipping it onto her foot, mumbling, "

It‘s okay to be tired, darling.

You are not a robot.”

As Elijah slid the other shoe on, she sighed contentedly, smiling softly as she watched him and then let out, “Thanks.”

A moment later, when Elijah led Peach out of the car, her hand locked in his, they were a few feet away from the hotel entrance when a voice they both knew too well made them halt in their tracks.

“Elijah,"

Melina‘s voice sounded behind them as she approached, her steps light, and a smile lighting up her face.

Subconsciously, Peach squeezed Elijah‘s hand tightly, trying to keep herself calm.

After everything that has been going on with Melina, Peach never thought a sense of jealousy was something she would feel towards someone, especially someone who was practically family.

But knowing that Melina was Elijah‘s ex made her uneasy.

But she held it all together and then turned to see her cousin, focusing directly on Elijah‘s eyes with a smile.

“What do you want?"

Elijah asked, his tone dead of emotions and tone.
