A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 535 Move in

"I just want to tell you, please, stay away from him. That's all!" Winnie said coldly, "No matter what happened between you two in the past, now he is my husband. I have to do something for my marriage. Sorry!"

Esther went back to the apartment in a bad mood. She did not expect Winnie to come to her and say that.

Thinking about the marriage of Winnie and Hudson, she still could believe not Winnie's words. How could it be possible that Hudson liked her? If he did, why would he marry Winnie?

Esther still had no clue, unable to figure it out. She leaned on the sofa, depressed.

It was seven o'clock in the evening. She was so hungry, wondering what to eat.

As she was thinking, there was a knock on the door. Esther was so scared, for fear that a thief was outside the door.

Esther quickly took the kitchen knife and ran out. Just as the door opened, she held the kitchen knife and saw Elijah at the door. "You scared the shit out of me. I thought it was a thief!" Elijah's eyes flashed at her posture.

Esther asked, "Hey! What are you doing here? This is my home. How can you go into others home at will?"

Ignoring her, Elijah walked straight in and shut the door.

"Elijah, you are being completely unreasonable!" Esther followed him holding the knife. "You're a burglary!"

"Burglary?" he asked, raising his eyebrows. "For money or you? You got to be kidding!"

"You..." Esther blushed and glared at him. "You said you would not do anything to me and there's no other conditions!"

"Did I say something now?" He turned back to look at her and raised his eyebrows.

"Well, you can't come to my house without my permission!" she said aloud.

"There are two rooms!" With that, he began to take off his suit.

Esther was startled and she asked, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"Take a shower!" As he said, he began to untie his tie, and then his shirt.

Esther covered her eyes in horror. "You, you can't!"

Elijah took off his coat, revealing his strong muscles. He walked up to her and took her hand. He said with a mischievous smile, "If you don't want to see me take a shower, please come into your room!" "Pervert!" Esther roared angrily, looking at his strong muscles. "Ah, my eyes!"

She ran back to her room with the knife, covering her eyes. She cursed, "Pervert, pervert Elijah!"

Elijah slightly narrowed his eyes. With a faint smile, he untied the belt and walked into the bathroom in an underwear.

After about 15 minutes, Esther didn't stop complaining until she heard the door of the bathroom ring. She immediately shouted, "Elijah, you have rented the house to me according to the contract. This is my house now. Get out from my house immediately. I hate you!"

But there was no response from him. After 15 minutes, seeing that there was no movement inside, Esther tried to peep through the crack of the door.

Esther breathed deeply to gather her courage, and she finally stepped out. On the sofa in the living room, the man had changed his casual clothes and sat idly on the sofa.

Thank goodness he was dressed! Esther sighed as she came out. "Elijah, did you hear it? Go back to your villa right away. This is my place!"

Elijah sat on the sofa with a faint smile, wordless.

Esther stood there motionless, and she was afraid to look into his eyes. After a while of silence, she grilled her hair impatiently. "Hum, never mind. I'll cook. I am starving. I will talk to you when I'm full!" "Let's move in together!" he said as soon as she turned around.

Esther was dumbfounded.

It turned out that men think with only their private parts. In a fit of anger, she suddenly turned to the man on the sofa and shouted, "Elijah, have you done? What's wrong with you!"

Not expecting that she would scold him for being neurotic, Elijah looked at her with a faint smile.

She rushed over and took Elijah's arm. "Get out of here, now! Or I'll be mad!"

"How are you going to get angry?" Finally, Elijah gently pulled Esther into his arms. She screamed and looked up at him. She was shrouded by a black shadow. "We're moving in together, not sleeping together Don't overthink!"

Esther was in a trance as she was attracted by his voice.

Not sleeping together? She misunderstood it!

She also smelled the breath from him, which was also charming. It was as elegant as the smell on his bed, which she slept on these days.

Suddenly, she felt that the smell was a bit familiar and very reassuring as if she had smelled a few years before.

Elijah slightly leaned over, taking a closer look at her. He said in a husky voice, "It's time to cook. I don't want to be disturbed, or I don't know what I will do!"

She trembled as his breath stroked her face.

"You, are you sure you just live here, and you won't do anything else?" She looked at his handsome face in disbelief.

"Or what do you want me to do?" He looked at her with sparkling eyes.

"Well! I know you have no good intentions!" Esther got up in a full rage. "I'm not interested!"

Since she couldn't drive him away, she might as well eat first.

For a while Esther busied herself in the kitchen, but she could only make cake. Thus she baked a cake.

A cake was made after a long time in the kitchen. When she was happy to enjoy the fruits of her hard work, a pair of big hands grabbed her plate directly from behind her. "It seems to taste good!" With that, the man took a few bites of a big piece of cake.

"My cake! Elijah!" She yelled in a hurry, "I'm starving. How could you take my food away?"

"Is this the only one?" He bolted the cake and asked, "I didn't eat either!"

He said it innocently. "I didn't know you only cooked yours!"

"Hey! You didn't ask me to cook yours." Esther retorted with her hands on her hips. "How can you be so unreasonable? You, you are hateful."

He looked at her, lost for words. He couldn't help but laughed, looking at her vivid face. "You can bake one more! I want to eat more!"

"No more ingredients!" Esther exclaimed, glaring at him. She was starving and mad.

Elijah couldn't help coming closer to her and said, "It tastes good!"

Esther's eyes widened and she said proudly, "Of course, it tastes good. Hudson likes my cake best."

Elijah's face sank and it was so clear that one could see his long and dense eyelashes, as well as his own reflection in his eyes. There was obvious displeasure in his eyes. She was startled for a while before she snapped, "Why do you put a long face after eating my cake."

He drew closer to her face. "Don't mention him to me anymore! Otherwise, you'll be in trouble!"

Esther was in a daze as his lips brushed hers, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Then Elijah stayed a bit away from her.

Esther blushed and stammered, "You, you..."

"You can cook something else. Isn't there any eggs?" he said casually as if nothing had happened.

Esther stared at him, speechless.

Seeing that she did not move, he asked, raising his eyebrows. "What's the matter?"

"I can't cook!"

"You mean I'll help you?"

"You ate my cake, you kissed me, so you have to pay me!" she said reasonably, but her face reddened.

"You mean I can kiss you if I cook for you?" he said faintly with an banter in his eyes.

Esther said, frowning. "Forget it, I'll go out and eat myself!"

She was about to turn around when he grabbed her and said, "How about noodles?"

She gave a start of astonishment and asked, "You cook for me?"

Without speaking, he put on the apron and started to cook, but Esther stood still. Would the chief executive also cook?

"Are you sure you want to cook?" She really didn't believe it.

But fifteen minutes later, two bowls of steaming egg noodles were served on the table with overflowing fragrance. Esther couldn't help but praise, "Wow! How delicious! I didn't expect you to cook. That's great." Starving as Esther was, she chomped hungrily through the noodles. While eating, she exclaimed, "well, it's as delicious as those in restaurants. You can run a noodle shop. How do you cook it? Can you teach me?"

Elijah sat down in the opposite, looking at her who was bolting, wordless. "Take your time!"

She showed him a bright smile. "I'm starving! Well, it's delicious!"

He picked up chopsticks, wordless. It had been a long time since he had a dinner with others at home last time. Thinking of that, Elijah pursed his lips, narrowed his eyes slightly. He put down the chopsticks. "Why don't you eat it?" Esther finished the noodles of her bowl and looked at his. She wanted to eat his.

Elijah pushed his bowl over. "Help yourself!" he said.

"But what are you going to eat?" She didn't want to eat his food.

"Didn't I take your cake? Don't be too kind," Elijah said.

"I can't believe you're not grateful for me not taking your food. Freak!" Esther took his bowl and soon ate his share. She went to the sofa with her round stomach and collapsed on it. "President, please wash the bowl. I'm so full!"

"Wash it yourself!" With that, Elijah entered his room with the door closed.

"Well! Freak. Don't play it cool." Esther snapped, pursing his lips. She went back to her room after washing the dishes, only to receive a phone call from Winnie. She froze for a moment before answering it. "Winnie, what's the matter?"☐☐☐
