"I won't leave her, she needs me," Ethan answered while he dressed Moriah. "Then, why did you reject her and the child?" Cindy asked with a smirk. "I was an idiot at that time," Ethan replied without averting his gaze from his still unconscious wife. "She's decided to raise the child by herself. What would you do? " Cindy asked just to goad him, so he would be decisive with his decision to take Moriah back. Ethan held Moriah's hand and lifted it to his lips before replying, "I'll do everything to have her back." "I hope you could still change her mind. She's my best friend, I knew once she made up her mind nothing can change it. She loved Shaun for over a decade, but when he rejected her, the affection she had for him was reduced to nothing, " Cindy shrugged her shoulders and left the room. Ethan stared at Moriah for a long time. He stroked her face ever so gently. "Wife, you're not allowed to forget me." Ethan removed his suit and shoes, and then lay down beside Moriah. She mov
Cindy was extremely happy that they will be going back to London. It’s been two months since she left London and longed to be with Zachary. He had been persuading her to tell where she was and promised that he wouldn't inform Ethan yet she was unwilling to betray Moriah. Cindy stood in front of Moriah and saluted. "Right away, madam."Despite the heaviness in her heart Moriah couldn't help but laugh at her friend's antics. Just as Cindy came inside, Moriah dialed Sophie's number. The call couldn't get through. She called again, still her call couldn't get through. Only after the umpteenth time that she eventually gave up and called Dylan. Moriah knew that Sophie sometimes forgot to bring her phone.. "Did you miss me again, little sister?" Dylan's voice sounded with a chuckle. "Dy," Moriah called his name and he heard the tremor in her voice. "Hey, what's wrong," Dylan sprang up from his swivel chair in alarm, his heart skipped a beat. "Ethan knows where I am, he's in Singapore
The hot and humid day in Singapore was aggravated by Ethan's brooding countenance that resulted in Cameron sweating profusely. While they were in the car, Cameron kept on wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead and dared not to look at Ethan. “We’ll fly back to London at 3 pm,” considering Moriah’s response to him, he decided not to follow her to Shanghai as he didn’t want her to keep on travelling, since it wouldn’t be good for her and their baby. Little did he know that Moriah went back to London. Two days after arrival in London, Moriah and Cindy got ready to report to the hospital. “Go and sit at the back,” Cindy told Moriah when she opened the front passenger door. Cindy thought about Moriah safety and it’s safer for pregnant women to sit in the back seat. After their shift was over Cindy came into Moriah’s office. “Let’s go shopping. We have to buy things for the baby,” Cindy said as she picked up Moriah’s handbag and helped her get up from the chair. Moriah strok
Moriah slept straight until morning. When she woke up in the morning she felt a heavy arm over her baby bump. It occurred to her that Cindy joined her in the bed. She smiled at how her friend protected her. Opening her eyes, she gasped to see a big hand, a man's hand. Her initial reaction was to look who it was and her eyes met Ethan's blue eyes. "You…" she pushed him away from her. "What are you doing in my room?" She asked angrily at him. "It's my room as well," Ethan gave her his boyish grin, remembering she once told him that she loves it when she sees him with his boyish grin. However, Moriah wasn't in the least moved by his boyish grin. She looked around and recognized it was their room. She got up as if she had been scorched at the thought that he and Hazel used the room when she was away. The room no longer belongs to them. "Where are you going?" Ethan engulfed her body in his arms. "I'm going home," she answered curtly as she tried her best to be released from his hold
Ethan knew better than to agitate her. "Alright, get dressed and we’ll have breakfast before sending you to work." They had a rather quiet breakfast as no one talked. Even their whole trip from home to the hospital was totally silent. When the car pulled up in front of the hospital, Moriah alighted from the car without throwing a glance at her husband. Ethan took a deep breath, trying to contain the frustration swirling inside his chest. He took his phone and made a call. "Matthew, make sure that the bodyguards keep an eye on my wife. I don't want anything to happen to her and make sure she won't run away again," he barked his order and hung up the phone. 30 minutes before the employees clock out, while he was reviewing a document, Ethan heard a knock. "Come in," he said as he put down the document on his desk. "Sir, you have a business dinner, with Mr Okinawa," Cameron said, reminding him of his appointment. Ethan rubbed his temple. Hazel came in and saw Ethan massage his temp
Ethan hugged Moriah when he lay on the bed. Moriah let him hug her as she was too lazy and exhausted to remove his arm around her and drifted off to sleep. In the morning when Moriah woke up. Ethan came in with a bed tray. “Good morning, wife,” Ethan placed the tray on the chair and helped Moriah sit. He kissed her forehead, after that he crouched down. “Good morning, son,” he kissed her baby bump. Moriah blinked, but she didn’t allow her heart to soften. “I made this for you,” Ethan said and placed the tray on her lap. Moriah started to eat, she ate the breakfast he prepared, for the sake of the child. If she wasn’t pregnant, she wouldn't touch it.After she finished her breakfast, Ethan took away the tray.“Ethan,” she said, Ethan was surprised as she called him by his first name again. Ethan brushed his knuckles on her cheek. “What do you want, love?” It took all of her will power to suppress the urge to roll her eyes, hearing him call her “love” “I want to stay with Cindy,
Not wanting to be rude, she accepted the flower nevertheless, she had not given time to appreciate the flower and placed it on the island and took out the plates and cutleries. “Let me help you,” Ethan said and was about to take the plates from her, but Moriah put them on top of the island. It wasn’t hard for Ethan to guess, he knew that she didn't want him to touch her. He took the plates and brought it to the table. He came back and took the cups. During the dinner, Zachary and Cindy had their usual bantering. “Cindy, you have to learn from Moriah how to cook. Your cooking skill is good only for the dogs,” Zachary remarked. “That’s why you like the food I prepared for you,” Cindy retorted. Moriah choked at Cindy’s come back and started to cough. Ethan patted her back and Moriah straightened up, her back was stiff as a board as it tensed up. She looked up to him, Ethan caught sight of the repugnance flickered in her eyes and stopped stroking her back altogether. “Here, drink it
“I’m sorry, that’s all I could do to help you,” Cindy said to Ethan when she learned that Moriah didn’t come to see him, instead flew to Manchester. “I’ve already lied to her that you're seriously ill.” Ethan's face darkened at the thought that she never cared about him. “Thank you for helping, anyway.” “Okay,” Cindy said and gave the phone to Zachary. Ethan was pacing back and forth in his office when his phone rang. He frowned when he saw that it was his dad who was calling. “Where are you?” Brandon asked, exasperation seeped through his voice, Ethan was taken aback to hear his tone as his dad never was like this to him when having a phone call. “I’m in my office,” he replied and sighed, holding himself back in replying to him rudely. “Your wife is here, actually anytime soon she’s going to be your ex - wife,” Brandon said, as he couldn’t contain his anger and already spilled over. “That won’t happen,” Ethan said in between his clenched teeth. Brandon snickered. “That is if y
