The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Chapter 143

Hear my plan or leave As

he stared at her bare body while she reached out for her robe, Josh sighed, running his fingers into his hair, mumbling, “I am divorced now.

There‘s no need for us to keep this a secret anymore and keep having sex in remote places like this.”

A soft, yet humorless laugh slipped from her lips as she wore her robe, turned to face him, and then said, “You think you are more special than the rest, huh?”

“Well, your screams last night saiu so, and we have been doing this for years.

Why would you keep having sex with me if I was not special, sweetheart?” Josh cockily uttered, pushing the sheets off him as he got out of bed.

“I wish I would have ended up with her Ex–husband, then her brother since Melina used to love bragging about how great he was in bed and gentle–”

“Jessica!”

“What?! Huh?! I screamed because you are always rough! But just because I like that doesn‘t mean you are special.”

Rage flashed across Josh‘s eyes before his gaze softened as he shook his head, remembering what he wanted to achieve here.

“You have been single for years, Jessica, and at some point sleeping around with all men attractive to your eyes would become boring...” Josh took another look at her as he approached her, slowly.

“Marry me, Jessica.”

“Love is overrated, Josh.

And even if it wasn‘t, I have none for you.

And don‘t try to play me stupid with this nonsense.

I know that after Iris divorced you, the company is sinking slowly because your major investors all had close connections with her father.” Jessica folded her arms across her chest, staring at him unblinkingly.

“So, you don’t want me then?” Josh asked with an eyebrow raised.

“If I had the slightest bit of feelings for you, you and Iris wouldn‘t have lasted so long in a peaceful marriage.

Don‘t take it to heart, Josh...

I love the body, but not the man that owns it...”

“You–”

“You should leave...

I got a dress appointment meant for tonight to take my father to Mr. Wessex Butcher‘s sixty birthday–”

“I am not interested in your chit–chat after the nonsense you just said!”

His words left silence in the room as their eyes locked together in fury.

The only sound that came out of her mouth was the sound of her sharp inhale, then exhale.

“Fine.

You should leave.” She muttered before quickly walking towards the bathroom door.“ Good thing Elijah is on the guest list.”

Before reaching it, Josh grabbed her wrist, making her stop on her track as he pulled her back and said, “Elijah got invited to Mr. Wessex Butcher‘s party?!”

“Release!” Jessica commanded, glaring at his grip on her wrist.

A hesitant chuckle escaped his lips.

He didn‘t even realize why he let go of her wrist so quickly, hty bolesti stave

but when he did, there was a slight tingling feeling of anxiety that lingered on him.

“I am friends with Mr. Wessex Butcher‘s daughter and imagine my disbelief when she told me that Bryan Check is going to bring Elijah as his plus one to the party.” Jessica uttered, glaring, at him.
