“Alright, let’s have breakfast first,” Dylan stood up and made his way to the dining room. “The old folks had breakfast early and went somewhere,” Dylan explained to Moriah when she was apparently looking for her and his parents. “I see,” Moriah smiled and sat on the chair pulled by Ethan for her. “Uncle was serious when he said that they will have their own activity,” Moriah giggled. “He had never been like that for years,” Dylan chuckled and then his expression became glum, remembering the time his father’s so-called friends tried to take advantage of his kindness. Moriah held Dylan’s arm, seeing his bleak expression. “Dy, are you alright?” “For a long time, our family had been avoiding making friends as we have been taken advantage of many times,” Dylan answered. “But, you were friends with my grandfather who was obviously using the marriage alliance for his company’s benefit,” Moriah smiled. “We were also taking advantage of the fact that he was trying to marry me to a prod

Although they were a wealthy family, Lei and Sophie aren’t the kind of snobbish wealthy couple. They didn’t care if Dylan marries a poor girl, so long as they both love each other. That is what matters most to them. “Excuse me for a while, I’ll have to take a look at them,” Lei said, standing up when Jianyu nodded. “I hope she’s the woman for Dy,” Moriah whispered and sighed. “I just want him to be happy.” “He will be happy, I could see how he looked at the woman,” Jianyu ruffled Moriah’s hair. “I could also tell that the girl is relaxed and comfortable in his arms, although she was shy,” Jainyu added. “Really, baba?” Moriah was elated at Jianyu’s remark. “Believe your father,” Anastacia held Moriah’s hands and went on. “Remember, you and Ethan? When he asked for your hand that day, he knew you would be happy with Ethan.” Moriah couldn’t say a word and looked down. The moment she bowed her head she remembered about her return to London with Ethan. She looked up at her father and

The following morning, Moriah woke up and Ethan wasn’t on the bed. The room was utterly silent. She sat up and looked around the room, but Ethan wasn’t in the room. Her heart felt heavy as if a huge rock had been deposited there. She hugged her knees and propped her head on them while mulling what to do with their relationship. It was starting to drain her. “Are you not feeling well?” Ethan anxiously asked because she had not heard him come into the room. He was worried that she might have a psychogenic fever again. Moriah lifted her head again, surprised how calm her heart was and did not cry unlike before. She wondered if she had already grown up in that aspect. Perhaps, she had built an emotional immunity over the time. “I’m fine,” she said in a hoarse voice. Ethan settled his palm on her forehead to check if she had any fever. Moriah looked at his worried expression and sighed softly. “I’m fine, don’t worry.” Ethan gathered her in his arms. “Do you want to go hiking? Dylan h

Li, Huang and Shen turned around as they found it uncomfortable to see the affection displayed by Ethan. “Let’s get going, Ethan, so we can go back to the villa,” Moriah said. Ethan chuckled. “Are you that eager, wifey,” what he said gained a pinch from Moriah. “I didn’t mean that,” Moriah said in an exasperated tone, but Ethan was in the least affected. “Dylan, booked a hotel near here,” he gave her a peck on the lips before releasing her from his hold. Finally, after several hours of hiking, they reach the top of the mountain. They did some stretching exercises to alleviate the soreness later. Despite Moriah’s protest, Ethan hugged her until they arrived at the hotel. “We’re here, sirs and madam,” said the chauffeur. When they were in their respective suites, Moriah was already itching to have a shower after the long hike. She was just about to enter the bathroom when her phone rang. She recognized the ring tone and hurriedly went to answer the call, but Ethan had already an

Soon after closing the door behind him, Ethan scooped her in his arms and hurriedly walked into the bed. He gently lowered her on the bed. Sitting at the edge of the bed, Ethan gently stroked her face while staring at her stunningly beautiful face. She is getting more and more beautiful each passing day. He just can't get enough of her. “You're so beautiful, Moriah,” he spoke tenderly, making Moriah’s heartbeat pick up a tempo. As soon as she woke up in the morning, Ethan’s perfervid kiss greeted her. "Good morning, wifey," murmured when he felt Moriah stirred from sleep. "Good morning, hubby," Moriah replied while making a big yawn and stretching her body. Ethan sat up and looked down at Moriah who was languidly lying on the bed. After a while, he picked her from the bed and settled her in the bathtub and joined her shortly. The following day after they traveled back to Shanghai, at Lei's and Sophie’s urging, Ethan, Moriah and Shaun used the Wangs’ private jet going back to Lo
