"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.

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
