Ethan gave Jerome a frosty look. However, Jerome didn't mind that Ethan gave him a bone chilling gaze, he had been with him for a long, long time and he had been used to seeing those wintry eyes.Jerome and Ethan had been drinking in silence for about a quarter an hour when Zachary arrived with Cindy."Hey," he tapped Jerome's and Ethan's shoulders and then came to sit on the couch across them.Cindy awkwardly followed Zachary and sat next to him."Ahem," Cindy cleared her throat when Zachary was pouring wine into the cup.Zachary grinned while he looked at Cindy. "Just a little," Zachary gestured with his fingers.Cindy shoo
Cameron saw Hazel entering Ethan's office and immediately followed her. He quickly clamped his hand over her mouth and pulled her out of the room before she could say a word and ruin the couple’s moment. He didn't want the couple interrupted. Ethan had been grouchy because his wife didn't want to talk to him. Now that she answered the call and was talking to him, Ethan would be definitely furious if they were interrupted. Ethan saw what Cameron did, he sauntered towards the door and locked it so no one would disturb him. "I just discovered that I have married a beautiful and witty woman," Ethan chuckled, went back to his desk and sat on his chair. "Where are you now?" Moriah asked. "I'm at my office," Ethan answered. "Mr. Miller, you're the CEO. Why are you slacking around? There are important things that need your attention," she teasingly said and her voice was somewhat breathy. "Nothing is more important than my wife," Ethan responded, grinning like a school boy. Moriah cou
Moriah was speechless, she couldn’t answer him and just chuckled. “Dylan, do you really want to marry or you just wanted to please your mom?” It was Anastacia who had spoken, she didn’t hold back as she wanted to help him see things clearly. “Honestly, I’ve never had a relationship with any woman, romantically speaking… and even a platonic relationship. I knew nothing about it,” he stopped and thought for a while. “I only want to marry now because my mom wants me to marry and have children.” he answered with all honesty because he felt close to the Chens and trusted them. “May I ask something?” Jiany spoke after listening to Dylan. “Yes, uncle,” Dylan replied. “What do you think about divorce?” Jianyu asked Dylan, watching his reaction to his question. A frown appeared on his face, forming creases between his eyebrows. It didn’t take him long to understand Jianyu’s point.“Thank you, uncle and aunty for enlightening me,” he smiled from ear to ear. Moriah giggled, Dylan looked
She lazily went into the bathroom and had a shower. Her tears mingled with the pouring water from the shower head. She was trying to shake off the dream from her memory, but she couldn’t do it. He didn’t want to divorce her and at the same time he wanted to keep Hazel. She loathes herself for falling in love with him and allowing herself to be lost on him. She had no class today and had no plan on going out so she just put on a simple shirt and baggy pants. She took a book to read and plonk herself onto the couch facing the floor to ceiling wall overlooking the sea. She stared at the sea and lost in her thoughts when her phone rang. She stood up abruptly and darted to get her phone, thinking that it was Ethan, who was calling, but to her dismay, it was Shaun who was calling. She took a deep breath and answered the phone call. “Hi, Shaun!” “Moriah, I’m in Shanghai now,” Shaun excitedly said. Despite her dismay that it wasn’t Ethan, who had called, Moriah smiled. She remembered Sha
Ethan walked towards them in large strides and shoved his fist in Shaun’s face as soon as he came close to them. Moriah was shocked and petrified, she approached Shaun. She cried seeing the blood trickled on his face. “Shaun, are you alright?” She helped Shaun get up. Ethan’s chest was a cauldron of roiling emotions. He flew from London to Shanghai only to find out that she was spending time with her ex - fiance. “No!” Moriah screamed when Ethan was about to punch him again. Moriah shielded Shaun from his attack so he couldn't vent his anger on him. “Shaun, let’s go. I have to treat your injury,” Moriah said and tugged Shaun’s arm and didn’t cast Ethan a glance. Ethan followed them, his anger now mixed with dejection. Jianyu and Anastacia were equally nonplussed when they saw Moriah tugging Shaun inside the apartment and Ethan followed them. “Why is he here?” Jianyu spoke coldly, he lost his composure seeing Shaun, on the contrary, Anastacia caressed his arm to soothe him. “Ba
“I think I have to take a pain reliever,” Shaun said and winced. Moriah held Ethan’s hand and she pulled him towards the kitchen. She was afraid that they would grapple if she left them alone. “Lovey dovey,” Anastacia teased them as they entered the kitchen. “I’m just holding his hand so he won’t hurt Shaun,” Moriah pouted her lips, she let go of Ethan’s hand and poured water in the glass. “You tended to Shaun's injury and yet you didn’t even look at your husband’s hand. He was also hurt,” although there was no trace of rebuke in her mother's tone, Moriah flinched visibly.She looked at Ethan and her gaze went to his right hand, he was right handed obviously he used his right hand to punch Shaun. There was a bruise on his knuckles. Ethan hid his hand in the pocket of his trousers. She placed the cup of water on the table. And came closer to him. “Let me see your hand.” Ethan was unwilling to show his hand. She sighed and turned away from him and then took the cup of water. Sh
"There you are, let's go and eat. The food is getting cold," Jianyu said, once he spotted them entering the apartment. Moriah put food on Ethan's plate. When he wasn't eating, she fed him. Jianyu and Anastacia looked at each other, delighted that Moriah is deeply in love with her husband and that Shaun's appearance didn't change what she felt for her husband. Moriah and Ethan went to their room when dinner was over. "Let me take a look at your hand," Moriah said when Ethan closed the door behind him. "It's nothing," he said, shrugging his suit. Moriah helped him take off his suit and hung it. She also loosened his tie. Subsequently, she unbuttoned his shirt slowly revealing his lean chiseled torso. Her face heated up and was fused with color as she undressed him. She turned around abruptly the moment she took off his shirt so she could conceal her flushed face. Taking two steps away, she was abruptly pulled back, Ethan took a hold of her from behind. She felt the thudding of h
Moriah looked up once she felt the bed sloped downward. "Wifey," Ethan uttered, and caressed her face. Moriah suddenly got up and hugged his neck and sobbed. "I thought you left," she said in bouts of sobs."I won't leave, don't cry," he said, soothing her. "Moriah, love…" Ethan murmured, Moriah looked up to him, expectantly waiting for his next words. Ethan couldn't continue. He wanted to give her assurance that he won't leave her as he did whenever they had a fight. But, he can't tell it as he himself doubts his ability to keep it. What if he had promised her again and couldn't keep it? At a loss what to say, Ethan tilted his head down to kiss away the tears in her eyes. In her daze, Moriah didn't remember when she and Ethan began kissing passionately. The thing she was sure of was that the passion in them was rapidly spreading like a wildfire. "Ethan," Moriah sobbed his name in the thick of passion and pleasure. "Moriah, baby," Ethan responded to her and a groan of pleasu
