The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Divorced for the second time

As Peach was about to take a spoonful of her cereal, she halted, hearing Elijah call out to her from outside the kitchen, “Babe, Babe...”

When he walked through the doorway, she smiled at the excitement on his face, and she whispered, “Someone is in a good mood this morning?”

“Okay... Okay! Take a look at these!” Elijah said, drawing her bowl of cereals from before her, making Peach pout after her food.

When he rested his phone in front of her and sat down, she frowned at him slightly, picked up her spoon, and started eating her food as he mumbled, mouthful, “Take a look.”

For a moment, Peach watched him shamelessly slurping the milk before she put her focus on the phone and tapped the screen to brighten it.

Gazing at the huge mansion on his screen, Peach frown deepened, raising her head to see that he had laterally put the spoon down and had the bowl in his hand

“Can‘t you just fix a bowl for yourself?” She cried, pouting harder.

“You drain me last night and had me working overtime until this morning... SO the fact that I am starving is your fault,” Elijah said before drinking the last milk directly from the bowl, making Peach sigh.

“You make it sound like I was the only want enjoying myself last night when you were groaning so loud that last night was the one time I was glad that we were not doing it at the motel because my mom was never going to look at us the seen this morning, with those innocent smile...”

“True. But like I said, you encourage me to work harder... So it‘s your fault.”

A laugh escaped her lips at her husband‘s shamelessness, and then she shook her head, focusing on the phone again.

“What are these?” Peach asked, showing his phone to his face.

“Choose one out of the ten for our new home,” Elijah replied, reaching for the cereal box.

“You are kidding,”

“Nope,”
