A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 536 A Lunatic

"If it weren't for you, Hudson wouldn't have ignored me!" Winnie spat out and hung up the phone.

Esther felt puzzled and called back hurriedly, but Hudson answered the phone. "Esther, don't take it to your mind!" "Hudson?" Esther could not help raise her voice. "You give the phone to Winnie; I don't want her to misunderstand me."

"No need!" Hudson said coldly, "Esther, let me ask you one more time. You've decided not to come back to me?"

Esther was stunned and thought about what Winnie had said. She nodded. "Yes, you are always my brother, but I will not come back to you anymore. Live a happy life with my sister-in-law!"

"OK! I won't force you. Let's pretend that we've never known each other from now on!" Hudson said cruelly and hung up the phone.

Esther held the phone, felt stifled and aggrieved. She was scolded in the afternoon and criticized in the evening, so she couldn't help but lay her face down on the bed and sob. She cried more and more loudly, and Elijah next door was bothered.

Elijah did not walk up but stood at his door and listened to Esther's sobs. Esther was only a seventeen-year-old girl, but she needed to bear so much.

Esther slept for a long time before she drowsily fell asleep.

In the night, Esther's door was pushed opened and a tall figure walked to the bedside and sat down. Esther was still sobbing when she was asleep. The skin around her eyes was reddened because she wiped the tears all the time. Looking at Esther who was sleeping, Elijah threw a complex gaze at her sleeping face.

Esther didn't sleep very well and sobbed from time to time. She saw Winnie smiling happily in the white wedding dress. Hudson who Esther loved most was holding Winnie's hand and walking past her as if she was a stranger to him.

"Hudson..." Esther cried, but Hudson ignored her. She shook her head painfully, and stretched out her hand to catch him but failed.

Looking at the small hand in the air, Elijah squinted and reached out to hold her small hand.

In an instant, Esther seemed to be at ease and stopped moving. A faint smile touched her lips and she murmured, "Hudson."

Hearing that, Elijah suddenly withdrew his hand.

"Hudson," Esther screamed and suddenly opened her eyes. Seeing Elijah's angry dark eyes, Esther screamed again, "Why are you in my room?"

Elijah fixed his cold and sharp gaze on Esther's small face, "What do you think?"

Esther put on a cautious expression, "How can I know?"

"You even have the nerve to question me." Elijah chuckled and sent down a chill over her spine. He curled his lips and said in a cold voice. "You think about men even when you're sleeping. Are you too lonely? Do I need to satisfy your desire?"

Esther was enraged, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

She raised her small chin in anger and met Elijah's gaze without fear. She didn't know why he lost his temper, but she was sure that Elijah was a lunatic. "It has nothing to do with you."

"So, you think it's your honor to spy on a married man?" He was fuming with anger and his cold voice sounded. He looked down upon her. She even had the guts to contradict him!

"I didn't." Esther shrieked, "You don't understand me! Get out!"

He stood up at once and strode out. The door was slammed. She felt puzzled, "Elijah, you are crazy, so is your sister!"

Esther whispered, lied down, and found it hard to fall asleep again.

Early in the morning.

Esther's eyes were sunken. When she got up to wash her face, she saw Elijah smoking on the sofa. The living room was filled with the smell of smoke, which made her cough. She looked at him surprisedly. Only then did she find the ashtray was filled with cigarette butts. It seemed that he had been smoking for a night without sleep.

Thinking that he had mocked her last night, Esther felt a bit angry, so she went into the bathroom without saying hello. When she finished washing, she found Elijah sitting still on the sofa.

She felt puzzled and could not help but ask, "Elijah, did you break up? So, you are in a bad mood?"

Hearing that, Elijah put on a mocking smile.

"Are you laughing at me? You are not crossed in love? Did someone die? I am worried about you. Why do you look at me like that? You are so arrogant!" Esther pouted and went to take her bag. "I'm going to work. Don't commit suicide in the apartment if you want to."

"Commit suicide?" Elijah's expression changed suddenly. He looked colder and seemed to be covered with ice because of her words. He threw a sharp gaze on Esther's small face.

"Forget it, goodbye!" Esther opened the door quickly and ran away as if a wolf was chasing after her.

When she went out of the apartment, she whispered indignantly, "What a lunatic! Damn!"

When she was waiting for the bus, a Bugatti Veyron was parked on the bus lane. Elijah opened the car window and showed his handsome face. Esther was stunned and turned her head. Elijah said in a deep voice, "Get on the car!"

"No need!" She didn't want to take the lunatic's car. She was afraid that Elijah would become crazier.

"Get on the car!" Elijah sat in the car like a statue. He looked masterful with his sharp gaze on Esther.

The crowd was waiting for a bus and attracted by the handsome man, but Esther insisted, "The bus is coming. I'll take a bus!"

The bus was coming from behind, and Esther's car occupied the bus lane. The bus driver kept beeping the honks, and the crowd became impatient.

"Young lady, get on your boyfriend's car quickly. Otherwise, we would be late!"

"Get on the car!" Elijah repeated.

Esther was very embarrassed, blushed, and got into Elijah's car angrily. Before she sat comfortably, the car rushed out like an arrow.

She only felt that Elijah became crazy.

They arrived at the company soon.

When Esther opened the door to get off, she was surrounded by many reporters. They focused the camera on her.

Esther was stunned and looked back at Elijah. "Elijah..."

"Shit!" Elijah cursed in a low voice and opened the door to get off.

"Mr. Perry, is this young lady your girlfriend?"

"Mr. Perry, when will you get married?"

"Mr. Perry, is she the girl that appears on the birthday banquet of the old Mr. Perry?"

"Mr. Perry, I heard that this young lady hit your ex-girlfriend! What do you think of it?"

Esther was stunned. She was surrounded by a group of reporters, so she turned her gaze at Elijah with terrified eyes. Elijah took out the phone and said on the phone, "Take thirty men to the parking lot!" "Are you Esther Price? I heard that you are the younger sister of Hudson, but why is your surname different from his?"

A reporter asked Esther. Esther didn't expect that all reporters would have known her background over a night.

Esther turned her frightened gaze and kept silent. She looked somewhat pitiful when she lowered her head. Elijah squinted and reached out to hold Esther in his arms.

"Excuse me!" What were the guards doing? They even let reporters enter the parking lot.

"Miss Price, what is your relationship with Mr. Perry?"

A reporter asked immediately when he saw Elijah hold Esther in his arms, "Mr. Perry, Miss Price is really your girlfriend? What about Kattie? She would not wake up anymore?"

It turned out Kattie was really Elijah's girlfriend. Esther was thinking about the reporter's words. The day Kattie became vegetative, Elijah forced Esther to have sex with him. He denied that Kattie was his girlfriend. Did he tell a lie?

Esther clenched her fists. Her cheeks were red with excitement. Elijah held her into the arms. She put her arms around his waist unconsciously. She was never surrounded by so many reporters before and at a loss for what to do.

The cameras clicked. Meanwhile, all reporters were holding their breath to wait for the response of Elijah and Esther.

No one had dared to interview Elijah so close before, because it was said that he was a cold and scary man, and rarely had affairs with women, except for Kattie.

The reporters blocked the way. Elijah looked down at the wristwatch. Three minutes had passed. The guards should be here.

The sound of footsteps echoed and about thirty security guards rushed into the parking lot. Elijah looked at them and said, "Don't disturb her quiet life. Otherwise, you would know the results." Elijah's threatening words sent a chill down their spines.

"Sir!" The guards separated the reporters and made their way out for Esther and Elijah.

Elijah held Esther's small hand and strode out when reporters put on a confused look.

Esther was at a loss and brought to the hall by Elijah. When receptionists saw Elijah take Esther into the elevator, they were astonished.

"What? She is really Mr. Perry's lover?"

Only when they went into the exclusive elevator did Esther came back to her senses and find herself still in his arms. She subconsciously kept herself away from Elijah and made Elijah squint. "Why are reporters in the parking lot?" Esther blurted out.

Elijah glanced at her without any expression and did not answer. His indifferent look made her suspect if he was the man that held her into his arms when reporters came at her.

Esther could not stand that Elijah kept silent even if he had known everything, so she pressed the elevator button and said, "Mr. Perry, I'm going to work!"
