A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 583 Cunning

However, Esther shrugged, turned to leave, and ignored him.

Philip was somewhat stunned. Why did she ignore him? Didn't she come to chat him up? As Esther walked away, he could not help but rush up to pull Esther's arm. "Wait a minute!"

"Why?" Esther stopped and looked at him. Her gaze fell on his hand which was holding her arm. She broke free quickly.

"You want to go after you meddled?" Philip was annoyed by her movement.

"So what?" Esther didn't give in. "You can't let me go?"

Just then, four men in suits appeared suddenly, stood in front of Esther, and said respectfully, "Madam, do you need help?"

Esther was stunned and scared by them. "You?"

"Master commanded us to protect you!" One man explained.

Madam?

Philip didn't expect that she had got married at such a young age and pursed his mouth in disappointment! He did mistake her since she had got married. Philip curled his lips. "What's your name?" Esther said to the four men, "It doesn't matter. Go to handle your own business. I can handle it myself!"

They didn't dare to defy Esther, so they obediently stood aside.

Esther looked at Philip and smiled faintly. "You have bodyguards. So do I!"

"I didn't expect that you had got married at such a young age!" Philip put on a faint and charming smile. "I just want to know your name."

Esther pouted. "I won't tell you!"

"You..." Philip had never been rejected.

A man hurried to see Philip, and whispered respectfully, "Master, we did not find Miss, and Madam passed away ten years ago. Tonight..."

"Book a hotel! We live in G City tonight. You must find her!" Philip said in a cold voice. The evil smile on his face disappeared. Instead, his eyes darkened. He frowned, pursed his lips, and gave out a domineering and noble vibe. He was not so lecherous as before!

Esther paused, shrugged her shoulders, and waited for him.

"What's your name?" Philip turned his head and asked Esther.

"I cannot tell you! Goodbye!" Esther turned her head and walked away.

Philip didn't go after her.

"Shall we go back to the hotel?" The tall and burly man in black asked respectfully.

"Don't follow me!" Philip looked at Esther's back, frowned slightly, and strode out of the mall.

The setting sun shone on his body. He seemed to be covered with golden light and was so dazzling that no one could look directly at him. He walked out slowly and his footsteps were heavy. A hint of sadness touched his eyebrows. There was gloominess and pains in his eyes.

"Christ Perry!"

Philip whispered!

He clenched his hands!

"Master!" The tall man in black appeared again with an anxious expression.

Philip suppressed his mood, put on an indifferent look, and turned his head. "Say it!"

"Miss had also passed away!"

Philip shivered a bit, had his back on the man in black. As the sun was setting, the shadow fell on his face and created a cold and gloomy atmosphere.

"The orphanage staff in G City said a girl named Crystal Perry had lived in the orphanage, but she and two other kids died in a fire!"

"It's impossible!" Philip put on a grieved look and repressed the trembling voice, "Try again!

"Yes!" It was the first time the tall man had seen the pains in Philip's eyes.

He took out a brocade box from his pocket and opened it with his trembling hands. An emerald bracelet was wrapped in the brocade. It was made of good emerald and looked ancient. He held it tight, put it in his pocket, and strode forward as his face darkened.

Esther strolled and a tall man walked towards her. His figure was bleak and lonely in the sunset. Esther was stunned!

She didn't expect to meet that man again!

Even if he was bathed in the golden light, his vibe was still cold and indifferent as if he was covered with ice. He looked very and sad, and his sad face made her sad too. Why was he so grieved?

Esther thought and found herself too meddlesome. She even felt sympathetic to such a man!

"It's you!" Philip walked up and found her.

"So what?" Esther did not like his condescending tone. She shook her head to get rid of stress.

"Nothing!" Philip suddenly said in a clear voice and gave her a sense of pressure.

Philip turned to leave.

Esther frowned, thinking that he liked that girl very much. If not, he wouldn't look so depressed as if he was crossed in love. Esther turned her head and said, "Since you like that girl, why did you break up with her and leave her alone? Can you act like a gentleman?"

"Well!" Philip frowned and threw a sharp gaze. "I don't like her."

"Really?" Esther turned her head and looked at him suspiciously. "So, why are you acting like this? You are not crossed in love? Well! It's not my business? You would rather suffer than lose face. I don't care about your business!"

"You want to go?" Philip stood before Esther and grabbed her by the wrist with great force.

"Let go..." She said faintly and was stunned. She felt that warmth passed to her heart from his fingers. It was very weird.

Philip was also slightly stunned. He didn't want to let go as if something came to his mind and put his mind in such turmoil.

Esther paused for a few moments and broke free, "Don't touch me, okay?"

It was really strange. She loathed this man very much but she felt he was somewhat familiar to her. Damn it! She just like handsome men? No! She was very principled! She only liked Elijah! "How about drinking with me?" There was a hint of pleading in his voice.

"Why?" Esther frowned and sighed, "Go to find that girl. She loves you so much! Don't break up with her! You can't change anything even if you get drunk!"

"Esther?" A car on the street stopped. Esther saw Ethel's face when the window was down. She instantly waved hands. "Why are you here?"

"Get on!" Ethel glanced at Philip, frowning. "Hurry up!"

"I'll go first!" Esther waved her hand at Philip. "Goodbye!"

Philip instantly hid his emotions.

If he was not mistaken, that man in the car should be Christ's illegitimate son and Hudson's younger brother! They seemed to be very close. Philip turned around with some schemes in his mind. "Why are you doing out there? Who is that man? Do you know him?" As soon as the car was driven away, Ethel kept asking.

"I don't know him!" Esther was honest.

"You dare to talk to him even if you don't know him. What if he is a playboy?" There was concern in Ethel's voice.

"I thought he was, but he is not!" Esther shrugged. "Who is more lustful than you?"

"Esther, if you weren't my sister, I would let you know how charming I am!"

Esther chuckled. "You're not charming enough. Even if you weren't my brother, you would not be my type! I only love Elijah. I won't change my mind easily."

"I'm hurt by you!" Ethel shook his head and laughed. "Where shall we go?"

"Let's go to have some roast chicken." Esther was addicted to them. "I still want some!"

"Yesterday my clothes smelled after we had them. You still want to eat them?"

"I'll go by myself!" Esther pouted

"Alright! I'll go with you since I'm afraid you'll be alone with a playboy again. Elijah has not come back? Go with him next time!"

"No! He didn't call me, either. I don't know when he'll be back!" He hadn't called her in the past two days. Had he forgotten her? Esther was a bit angry. Forget it! She would have some food first! They went to eat barbecue and their clothes smelled.

Esther opened the door with the key and pouted. The living room was dark, so it meant that Elijah didn't come back. "Elijah, I miss you so much. When will you come back?" The light flashed on and lit up the living room.

Seeing the man sitting on the sofa, Esther was surprised, then screamed and throw herself at him, "Elijah, when did you get back?"

The man on the sofa looked at Esther with a gloomy face and didn't reach out to hold her. Esther smelled like barbecue. He frowned. "Why do you come back so late? You've promised me." "I went to dinner!" Esther said.

"You haven't finished your dinner until ten o'clock at night?" Elijah raised his eyebrow.

Esther was stunned, smiled, and said, "I eat roast chicken with Ethel. It's too delicious! So, I ate them for hours!"

As Esther looked so carefree, Elijah's expression was gloomier. "Why didn't you answer my phone?"

"Well?" Esther took her phone, "You have called me? It was too noisy in the stalls, so I didn't hear it!"

When she saw his calls on the screen, she understood at once that he was worried. "I'm sorry! I didn't hear it!"

"Tell me where you've been today?" He pulled her hand and looked at her seriously.

"I went shopping!" She said.

"Did anything happen?"

"What would happen?" She asked.

"I asked you to go back home after school. The class was over at 11:30, but you didn't come back until 10 p.m. What did you do? If you can't explain it clearly, I may break your neck." Esther was frightened and put her hands on her neck. "I just...I just went shopping and had dinner!"

His eyes darkened and he grabbed her by the arm, "You also minded others' business, didn't you?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
