A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 536

"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.
