Moriah ran her fingers through Ethan's hair. "Baby, it's almost 7 in the morning." Ethan grabbed her hand and planted kisses on her palm. "It's your day off today.""Oh, I see," Moriah forgot that it was her day off today and was surprised that Ethan hadn't forgotten her schedule. Ethan held her in his arms for a while before getting up. He bent forward to pick her up in his arms and carried her to the bathroom. "Matthew will pick you up at 11 am," Ethan said while Moriah was scrubbing his back. "Alright, can I bring Dillon with me?" Ethan turned to face her. "Some other time. I want to have lunch with you alone." Moriah didn't question him. She knew that he wanted to spend time with her alone. When a husband and wife spend quality time together, it'll make their relationship stronger. The stronger the parents' relationship is, a child will feel more secure and assured. Just like what she saw in her parents. She felt secure and assured as she saw how her parents love each other
Moriah held her breath and refrained from moving, not wanting to disturb the father and son’s time. "I'm glad that your mum didn't think of aborting you and fought for you. You and your mum are the most beautiful thing that happened in my life," Ethan said and kissed Dillon's tiny hand. Ethan wouldn't kiss Dillon on the face afraid that he would have rashes, though he shaves every day he still wants to make sure he won't have rashes. Hence, he only kisses his hands or his feet. Moriah sniffed and suppressed her tears. A few seconds later, she swallowed and said, "You're here." Ethan jerked his head in surprise. "How long have you been there?" "Why are you here? I thought Matthew would pick me up? " Moriah veered around not intending to answer his question. She didn't want him to know that she heard what he told Dillon. It's their bonding as father and son and she had no heart to destroy their precious moment. "Seeing the video you sent me, I couldn't help but want to see our son
Ethan exploded and sprang from his seat, causing the chair to fall backward. Moriah was frightened at the sudden outburst of anger, stood up and walked over to Ethan. "Baby, calm down." Matthew, who heard the commotion inside, hurriedly came in. "Sir, is there anything wrong?" "Tell the manager to come here," Ethan barked, his anger heightened as Mandy was not even remorseful and hadn’t stopped giving a suggestive smile. Moriah could tell that there was something wrong with Mandy. Instead of getting mad at her, she felt pity for her. "Sir?" The manager said, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. "I brought my wife here believing that this place is perfect for our date," Ethan spoke coldly causing the manager to tremble. The manager thought that if he pissed off Ethan he would lose his job. "I'm sorry, sir. May I know what happened?" "From what I gathered this restaurant is a decent and reputable restaurant, but why do you have a server who acts like she was working in a
As Moriah and Ethan were at the HR department, Cameron came in carrying Dillon in his arms. Moriah looked at Ethan, ecstatic at his surprise, she forgot about the people around them and hugged him. “Baby, you’re always full of surprises!” Ethan smiled lovingly at Moriah and kissed her forehead. “I won’t run out of ideas on how to surprise my beloved woman. Did you like my surprise?” Moriah looked up and nodded nonstop while she gave him her bright smile. The staff from the HR department were looking at each other, they heard and saw how their CEO and his wife are very much in love with each other. The rumor that Ethan loves his mistress and not his wife originated in their department. The action of Ethan and Moriah put an end to their wagging tongues.Taking Moriah to tour around the company was Ethan’s plan so he would put an end to the rumors. Reprimanding them or using his position to sanction them wasn’t the best option because it won’t stop the rumor. "Da… da… ma… ma," Dillon
Ethan clenched his fist. Time and again, his brother plotted against him. He didn’t take any action against him for their father’s sake. Now that he tried to harm Moriah, he already crossed the line. Ethan made up his mind to settle the score. After giving a full account of his investigation, Ethan told him not to lose track of his brother's whereabouts and activities. Just after the private investigator left, Ethan called Cameron to come to his office. “Execute the plan I made to bring down my brother’s company and his cohorts’ companies,” Ethan instructed, his voice dangerously cold, Cameron nodded and left. He was holding back for so many years just to give him a chance to turn around but he exhausted his patience. Moriah stood rooted to her spot as she heard how Ethan enunciated every word with so much suppressed anger. He had seen Ethan get angry at her and other people, but at this moment he seemed to be different. It was like a simmering anger that was about to be tipped ove
Moriah couldn’t help but chuckle at what she heard. On the contrary, Ethan was fuming.Since it was time for the employees to clock out. Many heard what Mandy said and shook their heads. They were discussing amongst themselves in a low voice lest their CEO will hear them. “Is she telling the truth?” “I don’t think so, she looks like a mad woman to me.” “Maybe she went mad because she was ditched.” “I couldn’t agree more.” “I beg to differ. It looks like sir, doesn’t know her at all. She might be one of the many women who have a crush on him and become obsessed.” “You’ve got a point there.” “Look at her, she’s gone crazy.” They all looked at Mandy who was uncontrollably laughing at crying at the same time. Her exquisite make up was ruined by her snots. “Tsk tsk, she’s obsessed.” “She shouldn’t have desired what’s beyond her reach.” “Did you see how Mr Miller lovingly looked at his wife when he toured her around the company?” They started to talk about what they witnessed a w
Ethan was speechless and thick silence prevailed for several seconds. Though she couldn't see her husband, Moriah sensed the apprehension of Ethan.“Baby, she’s asking you to have a photo together,” Moriah said calmly when Ethan went silent for several seconds.“Baby,” Ethan said, his voice slightly shaky. He was scared that Moriah misunderstood something. “Are you angry?” “Hubby, what kind of question is that?” Moriah giggled and went on. “I trust you. And why would you call me if you are on a date? ” After all that she learned about the past and how profound and deep is his love for her, she never once doubted him and completely trusted him. Ethan breathed in relief after hearing her word of assurance. “Mr Miller, can we have a photo together?” the woman repeated when Ethan didn’t answer her, thinking that he didn’t hear her. Ethan looked at her without expression in his face. “No, I’m talking to my wife,” Ethan rejected, his outright refusal made the woman frown. Being reje
Pia sized Moriah up and looked at her from head to toe. It wasn’t long before Moriah recollected herself. If Ethan remained taciturn and had not explained to her, Pia’s appearance would have given a fatal blow to their marriage. Moriah burst into fits of laughter that bewildered Pia. “How could my husband have a child with a woman who he had not touched?” Moriah said as she laughed and held her belly. “This is a funny prank.” “You!” Pia got up and lifted her hand to slap Moriah, but the bodyguard was quick to grab her hand. Moriah found it funny. She was thinking how many women would come knocking at her door and claim to be Ethan’s lover. “Alright, cut some strands of the boy's hair,” Moriah ordered the bodyguards, which was carried out immediately. “You, what are you doing to my baby? Stop it,” Pia can’t do anything as a bodyguard held her shoulders, pushed her down to sit on the couch and restrained her.“I will sue you!” Pia screamed, her eyes were bloodshot. “Alright, I w
