A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 569

She could never believe that she didn’t feel hungry even though she had not eaten. But was he still coming back?

What’s even stranger was that she was a little disappointed that he hadn’t come back by now and she was actually looking forward to it.

She suddenly thought of the words that Hudson said, “You’re attached to Elijah Perry, aren’t you?”

Could it be that she really began to care about Elijah?

Thinking of him exuding an evil and cold aura, she could not help but doubt that…

The door opened at that moment.

Esther looked up subconsciously, meeting her was the devilishly handsome face in her contemplation. He came back! Her heart seemed to be relieved and was actually feeling slightly joyful.

And in Elijah’s hand was a bag. He frowned slightly when he saw Esther sitting on the couch with the tv flashing an unknown tv series.

Esther didn’t say anything, but she was panicking inside so she pretended to watch tv.

Elijah swept his eyes across the house and there wasn’t even the slightest sign. He placed the plastic bag on the coffee table without speaking.

Esther subconsciously sneaked a peek at the bag. The fragrant scent of food could be smelled, and she froze, looking up at him, her stomach grumbled at that moment.

It was so embarrassing.

Esther’s face turned red again!

“Why didn’t you eat?” Elijah’s tone was cold, it had been seven to eight hours and she still hadn’t eaten yet.

“Weren’t you the one who said that I can’t touch water?” Esther asked rhetorically, throwing the question back at Elijah.

“Did I say that you couldn’t eat?”

Before Esther could answer, Elijah cupped her face and leaned down to seal her slightly opened lips.

His kiss was quick and intense this time, it was like the moment a thirsty man found a water source and drank it recklessly as if there was no stop to it.

At last, when he was at the edge of his blood boiling, Elijah let go of Esther.

Esther was chagrined, “You, you—”

Elijah did it on purpose, was it fun to tease her?

Esther didn’t say anything, but her stomach growled again.

Elijah didn’t speak as well. Since he kissed her already, Elijah let Esther go and just looked at her.

Neither of them said anything for a while.

“I’m hungry,” Esther broke the silence first, “Is this for me?”

“No,” Elijah said indifferently, and it wasn’t that he didn’t hear her stomach rumbling, he just wanted to see her reaction, so he looked at Esther calmly and unhurriedly.

“Oh!” She was a bit embarrassed, so she half lowered her face and said quietly, “Then I’m not eating. I’m going out to eat.”

Esther stood up after finishing her sentence, but her stomach grumbled again, and her legs were giving out. She was too hungry! It was obvious that the food was bought for her. She didn’t know what it was, but it was smelling so good, and damn Elijah said that it wasn’t for her. She muttered to herself while heading out.

“I bought this for my woman, and someone can eat it if she admits to being my woman!” Elijah said as Esther walked a few steps away.

She froze for a moment but continued. She’s not his woman!

“Still going out even without money?” Elijah asked again, she didn’t seem to have brought anything with her, “Are you sure you want to go out without money and your keys?”

Stunned, Esther turned her head and said, “What do you mean?”

“Come here!” Elijah grabbed Esther by her shirt and lifted her onto the couch, “Eat!”

“I’m not your woman!” She pouted.

“You mean that you want to be my woman now? Want me to prove it to you by holding you down again right now?” His tone was so wicked!

“You—” Esther was embarrassed.

“Eat!” Elijah’s tone sounded cool. He then walked to the door and changed into his shoes.

Esther stunned for a moment and said, “You’re heading out?”

“Yes.” Elijah nodded and pointed to the box on the shoe cabinet by the door, “No going out at night, and I’m not coming home tonight. This is a new phone, and I have added my number, call me if something happens.”

Elijah left after saying that.

Esther was surprised. Did he come back just to deliver the phone and the food? She smelled the scent of the food, “It’s Y Restaurant!”

Esther’s heart was feeling inexplicably warm. She chuckled while looking at the food and muttered to herself, “Elijah doesn’t seem to be that bad!”

She had a good meal and a good night’s sleep till late morning the next day.

Esther didn’t go out. Fiddling with her new phone, it was the latest model with a touch screen which was suitable for girls like her to use. She inserted her previous sim card and Hudson's phone number wasn’t on it anymore, but a number was saved on the phone and it was Elijah’s.

At that moment, her phone rang suddenly, and it was an unfamiliar number. She answered it, “Esther, something happened to my brother!”

“Winnie?” Esther was stunned for a moment and her heart thumped, “What did you say?”
