Semua Bab The Marvelous Elijah's Return: Bab 11 - Bab 20

When Peach raised her gaze from the floor and absentmindedly gaze to her right, she was stunned to see Elijah, Matt, Rookie, Ryan, and James walking into the waiting room.Her eyes widened, and a huge gasp came out of her mouth. Her heart thumped against her chest, making it harder for her to breathe as she wondered what they were doing there. When she and Elijah's eyes locked, Peach turned her eyes back to the floor, hating the unreadable expression on his face.With a calm look in his eyes, James said as he sat down beside Peach, "How are you feeling?"A weak smile formed on her face, and tears began forming as the thought of her mother still flashed in her mind."Well, my mama has to have another PCI surgery because she had another severe heart attack," Peach said, pinching her fingers together nervously. "My mama has been really sick lately. She has always been since my dad died.""I am sorry to hear that. Is there anything we can do for you? Anything you need?" James asked, eye

As the silence between them dragged on, Peach felt her anxiety growing inside her. Finally, she muttered, "You know what, forget it. I will find another way to get the money."Her face hardened as tears settled in her eyes, and she tried walking past him, but Elijah suddenly grabbed her arms, gently pulling her to stand still in front of him."How?" Elijah asked, his gaze fixed on her teary eyes as she choked back her tears."It's none of your concern!" Peach yelled, pulling herself free from his grasp. "You have made it clear that you don't-""I have made nothing clear," Elijah interrupted her sharply, glaring at her heatedly. "I asked you a single damn question!""I don't know, okay!! I have absolutely no idea!" Peach shouted as she clenched both her fists tightly, feeling angry tears burn her cheeks and threaten to spill. "But whatever it is I need to do to help my mother, I will do it!""What's going on here?" James asked as he, Matt, Ryan, and Rookie walked towards them with a fr

Instantly, Tommy stopped in his steps, masking his urge to smirk with a bitter and stern expression as he stared deeply at his sister-in-law and then at Peach."Well, look who finally decided to know her place and behave like how you suppose to behave in your low status!" Tommy remarked, his words laced with venom and sarcasm.Then he walked over to Miss Grace, handed her the paper, and commanded, "Sign it, and let's stop beating around the bush about this matter! I am being very generous, you know!" With trembling hands, Miss Grace slowly reached out for the papers, tears rolling from her eyes, but before she got a hold of it, Peach grabbed the sheet and shredded it to pieces as tears ran down her face.The anger in her eyes as she did it was something that no one has ever seen on her face before.Then Peach looked at Tommy with pure disgust and contempt and yelled at him, "Your father and my dad must be rolling in their grave because of your actions. You are just a despicable human

Others' attention quickly gathered towards Elijah and the salesgirl, and they heard some murmurs around them, which made Elijah smirk. "Why is he still acting headstrong when he can't afford the jacket?" Some woman mused as she stared at Elijah, shaking her head in disapproval."Seriously, can't he just take a hint? Why can't he understand that it's not good to act so arrogantly when he doesn't have the money for any of these clothes?" A guy scoffed as he eyed the jacket in Elijah's hands.Hardening his face, a fellow met Elijah's eyes, and then his face deepened into a scowl, his eyebrows furrowed over his blue eyes, and he mumbled, "You are that guy from the news?!" "Boss, it seems like you are way too famous in a negative light. So maybe we should just forget about the jacket and get out of here before it gets ugly." Ryan whispered after leaning toward Elijah's ear.But his words seemed to set Elijah off once again, and his eyes narrowed, as his face contorted in rage, and he

The office was quiet for what felt like forever, and Allen was sweating profusely under his suit. He wanted to say something, anything to make things alright between himself and Elijah.But he couldn't think of anything that might ease the situation. So instead, he decided to say nothing.After another long pause, Elijah finally let out a sigh and then leaned forward, resting his elbow on the armrest of his chair, and placing his chin upon his knuckles. "Do you want to rethink your answer?" Elijah asked quietly, tilting his head to the side to catch a glimpse of his eyes.Still unable to find any words, Allen stood there, shaking his head slowly, and then he said timidly, "No! No... I mean... I can't. Please don't push this any longer... Mr. Maxwell. I mean, Darius. I will gladly tell you everything you need to know about your account, but not someone else's."Leaning forward further, Elijah's voice lowered even more, "That's good then.""Please... I... wait, huh?!" Allen stammered,
