"Just use what you prefer to use in eating," Jianyu was talking about the chopsticks. He just wants them to enjoy the meal so he doesn't care if they eat using a fork and knife.Anastacia picked up the chopsticks and put food in Jianyu's bowl. Zachary and Cindy picked up their chopsticks as well. Ethan looked at Moriah when she picked up her chopsticks.Sensing Ethan's uneasiness, Moriah leaned sideways. "Use your fork and knife, don't be compelled to use chopsticks if you don't feel like using it.""I do like to use chopsticks but I don't know how to use them. I never tried to use them," he whispered.He was never interested in using chopsticks whenever they ate at a Chinese restaurant. His mom encouraged him to use chopsticks but he never did. H
The cab had been waiting for them when Ethan and Moriah came out of the elevator.Upon seating at the rear passenger seat the cab began moving.Ethan held Moriah's hand. "Are you okay?""Yes, I am," she replied, however, her eyes were on the road."Why aren't you looking at me?" Since this morning, after breakfast, Moriah's mood drastically changed. She was a tad distant and cold.Moriah looked at him with a faint smile written on her face.Ethan used both of his hands to hold Moriah's tiny face. "If something is eating you up, talk to me, okay?"Moriah nodded her head. "Okay."
Moriah wanted to spend time alone with Ethan so she sent a message to her mom that they won't be having dinner with them."Ethan," she said as they were walking hand in hand."Mm," he answered."Do you miss eating western food?" Moriah asked him so she could give him a hint that she wanted him to take her out for dinner."Chinese food tastes good and I don't miss western food, I liked baba's cooking," he answered to tease her. "Why did you ask?" He suppressed his laughter when he saw her reaction to his answer."Nothing, let's go home," she said and walked fast.Ethan pulled her and hugged her from behind. "Are you craving for western cuisine?"&
Moriah absent-mindedly entered their room and didn't notice Ethan, smiling at her. Ethan frowned when he was ignored by Moriah. She went into the bathroom and took a shower. When she was dressed in her nightie, she slid under the duvet still caught up in her thoughts. Ethan was thinking if she was deliberately ignoring her or just thinking something. He settled for the latter and kept on working on his MacBook. It was already midnight when Ethan decided to join Moriah on the bed. He slid under the cover and took Moriah in his arms. He was surprised when Moriah rolled and faced him wide awake. Her green eyes were sparkling, captivating the man. "You're still awake," he tilted his head to taste his wife's inviting lips. "Mm," Moriah hummed on his lips. "Did you wait for me?" Ethan spoke while he busily peppered her face, neck and shoulder with light kisses. "Yes," Moriah flushed with cheek-stinging pleasure, as if she’d been sunbathing too long. Tentatively, her hand crept to
“Oh, dear, you’re exquisite,” Anastacia had pronounced, smiling as she entered the bedroom.“You too, mama,” Moriah admiringly told Anastacia.“Are the two beautiful women in my life ready?” Jianyu said, standing at the door as he stared in stunned admiration at Anastacia, his wife and their daughter Moriah.The gentle smile etched on his handsome face warmed both Anastacia’s and Moriah’s hearts.The mother and daughter came near him and hugged him.Anastacia lifted her chin and looked at Jianyu and said, “Darling, we are blessed to have you.”“Me too, I’m blessed to h
After they bid them goodbye they left the hotel with bothered hearts. Jianyu was restless, he knew that his father was up to something. Jianyu observed that the Wangs and his father were adamant for Moriah and Dylan to get married. In order to do that, his father has devised a plan to sow dissension between Moriah and Ethan that will lead to estrangement.All through their trip back to the apartment, Jianyu racked his brain on how to protect Moriah and Ethan’s marriage against his father’s sordid schemes.The following day, while Moriah was in the cab, going back to the apartment, her phone suddenly went off. She took her phone and checked who was calling. Seeing her phone screen displayed Ethan's name, Moriah couldn't contain her joy.Moriah answered the call, however, she was speechle
Cameron wanted to laugh and cry all at the same time. His lovesick boss makes everybody else sleepless tonight. Sure, he might find it difficult to sleep without his wife beside him. But why on earth did he embroil them in his love sickness? Seeing Cameron's reluctant smile, Ethan couldn’t help but explain, “My wife had been in an accident and I want to see her,” the urgency and worry in his voice didn’t go unnoticed by Cameron. Cameron was shocked, a while ago he had heard his boss talking to his wife. And what surprised him more was that his boss even explained to him. He had been working for Ethan for years now and he never bothered to explain.Truly, Moriah brought a good change in Ethan. Recovering from his surprise, he asked, “How is madam, sir?” “She said, she’s fine, but I won’t have peace until I see her. I must fly back to Shanghai,” Ethan said and loosened his tie, he felt suffocated as worry overtook him. “Alright sir, I will do as you said,” Cameron said, he felt g
Ethan carried Moriah in his arms to have a shower together. They heard a knock on the door just as they finished dressing up. Wordlessly, Moriah went to open the door. “Sorry to disturb you, lovey doveys, lunch is ready,” Cindy said, her eyes dancing with mischief. Moriah rolled her eyes and snorted. “We’ll be there right away, ma’am.” Cindy left while chuckling. “Hubby, let’s go,” Moriah tugged Ethan’s arm, but Ethan didn’t move. Moriah looked at him inquisitively, “What’s up?” “I want a kiss,” Ethan demanded, Moriah couldn’t help but chuckle. She really can’t believe that a man as cold and aloof as an iceberg will melt one day. She came near him and wound her arms around his slim waist. “Hubby, tell me. Did I really melt the ice?” Ethan looked intently at her before answering her, “Yes, your warmth did it.” Moriah’s heart breamed with immense joy and tiptoed. She pressed her lips on his and pulled herself away from him. “Come on, they’re waiting for us.” Ethan felt empty wh
