“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
After dropping Cindy off at the airport, Ethan and Moriah checked into a seven-star hotel in Shanghai. “Good evening, I would like to book a presidential suite,” Ethan said to the front desk receptionist. “Give me a minute, sir. I'll see if there's any presidential suite available," replied the receptionist, blushing profusely. Moriah could not resist smiling at the way her husband was affecting the receptionist. Ethan lifted his arm and possessively wound it around Moriah’s shoulder. “How long will you be staying, sir?” the receptionist asked after confirming that there’s an available presidential suite. “We’ll stay till the third of January,” Ethan said, Moriah looked up at Ethan in disbelief. She never thought that he intended for them to stay that long in the hotel. All she knew was that he just wanted to spend the night alone with her. If he indeed stayed until then, it would be the longest time they were together since they got married. A smile made its way to Moriah’s f
“Wife, you are too serious, I was just teasing you,” he said while he chuckled. Moriah wanted to pretend to be offended, however a smile made its way to her face and Ethan, whose gaze never strayed from her, was quick to see it. “That smile,” he said. “I like it,” he leaned forward for another kiss, but the elevator stopped and opened. He muttered under his breath. “Bad timing.” Moriah stepped out of the elevator and in haste she went to their suite. She tapped the keycard on the sensor and opened the door. She immediately strode to where the phone was situated and looked at the menu. “Hubby, what do you want for dinner?” she asked while she covered the mouthpiece. “Anything will do,” Ethan wasn’t a picky eater and he doesn’t have any food allergy. Their food arrived thirty minutes after Moriah called for room service. While they were having their dessert, Moriah suddenly remembered that she was going to teach after the weekend. "After the weekends what are you going to do the
Ethan was baffled when Moriah threw her head back and roared in laughter.“You're making fun of me, are you?” He carried her over his shoulder and went into the bedroom. She kept on laughing while being carried to the bedroom and even when she was thrown on the bed.It was only after Ethan positioned himself between her thighs and pinned her hands over her head that Moriah stopped laughing.“Hey, are you pissed off?” Moriah asked and smiled. Her smile was a bit playful.“What are you laughing about?” Ethan asked as he grazed her jaw.“It’s true that I wear a sports bra and leggings when going to the gym, but I do wear workout jackets,” she gig
Moriah gave in to the temptation to tease him yet again. “What do you think, why did I come home late?”Moriah couldn’t fight the mischievous smile that crept up to her lips and the mischief dancing in her eyes.Ethan saw through her and swept her up into his arms and carried her to the couch. He sat with Moriah on his lap.“Don’t tease me,” he said sternly. “Tell me, what happened,” he said, brushing away the locks of hair from her face.“I was about to leave when Dylan came to my office and asked me to be his date for a party,” she paused, carefully watching his reaction and went on when his eyes narrowed. “But I declined it.”He nuzzl
Moriah has already finished her night skin care routine after having a shower. And yet Ethan had not come to their room. She waited for him until midnight, however, he hadn't come to their bedroom. That fueled Moriah’s outrage until she wasn’t certain whether she would stay in the hotel or storm out and go back to her apartment. She tossed and turned on the bed until she was exhausted thinking and drifted off to sleep. It was already dawn when Ethan came into the room. He stripped his clothes before lifting the duvet and slipped in to join his wife on the bed. Moriah felt the warm arms surrounding her. She felt Ethan's warm chest on her back. Ethan's hand glided on her thigh, but she was too sleepy to react to him. Ethan tried to stir her up by touching her inner thigh, but gave up when there was no response from her and slept after his blazing desire for his wife was put out. Moriah hurriedly got up from the bed and went to the bathroom when she saw that it was already 7 in the
