Elijah pursed his lips without saying anything. He held her hand and then threw his arms around her shoulders. "They are not used up in one time. Take it easy."
"Well!" Esther was speechless. "I don't know you!"
He would let her know how great he was tonight.
Esther struggled along the way, while he held her tightly. They walked out of the mall and went to the parking lot.
On the way back, Esther sat silently in the car and did not talk to him.
Elijah drove with a happy expression.
She peeped at him.
Elijah noticed it out of the corner of his eyes and smiled. "Why do you look at me?
Esther's heart skipped a beat and said, "I am not looking at you. Be careful!"
Esther thought to herself. He had the guts to buy condoms in public. If it was shot by the reporters, there would be big news that could cause a sensation.
Thinking of it, Esther was a little confused since she hadn't seen any reporters recently. She turned her gaze at him, "Did you buy off those entertainment journalists?"
Elijah nodded. "Yes."
They stopped talking.
Esther went to the study to draw and did her homework after the bath.
Elijah did not see Esther after taking a bath, so he pushed open the study door and saw Esther drawing something by his desk. She was wearing a nightdress with messy hair dropping on her chest. Elijah couldn't help smiling.
Then he closed the door and went to the living room to call the doctor and ask about Kattie. He rested assured when knowing that she was fine. He made several phone calls to handle business and watched TV for an hour, but Esther was still occupied with her homework.
It was 8:00 p.m.
He could only walk into the study again.
Esther was doing homework about the composition of a picture. The professor asked her to draw thirty pictures. She painted very carefully. When she looked up, she saw Elijah.
"Have you finished?" He asked.
"Take a look. This is the typesetting of print ads. I'll be a designer!" Esther was very proud to present her work. "Is it good?
Elijah only took a look and felt she painted well. He didn't care about it, so he took it and put it on the desk.
"It's not good?" Esther asked and picked it up again, "Look at it carefully. Give me some advice or I can paint more pictures."
However, Elijah had bent over and picked up Esther.
"What are you doing? Give me some advice!" Esther protested. "Elijah…"
"Good!" He whispered, "You draw very well!"
He carried her into the bedroom, threw her onto the bed, and was on her top. He put on a faint and triumphant smile as if he was looking at a prey. "Let me use the condoms I bought today!"
"Get down!" Esther struggled and tried to push him away. She was frightened by his eyes filled with desire. "Leave me alone!"
Did she refuse him?
Elijah gave her a warning look. Esther instantly shut up and twitched her nose, "I am very tired. Please let me go!"
However, when Elijah smelled her fragrance and felt her soft body, his desire was aroused.
"It's not late yet. You can rest early after we have sex!" He whispered to her ear and fiddled with her.
Esther was stunned for an instant, staring at him with big eyes. She didn't dare to move but said pitifully, "Sweetheart, I'm so tired from having sex with you last night. Moreover, I had class in the morning, starved, and heard you talk to Miss Cole in a gentle voice in the afternoon. Why didn't you talk to me at that time? When do you just press against me when you're with me? I don't like it! I want you to talk to me in a soft voice!"
Hearing that, he chuckled, "Are you jealous of Kattie? You didn't have lunch, but you lied. You should be punished!"
"Well!" Esther nodded. "I am jealous! You haven't talked so much to me before. I thought that you didn't like talking. You just don't like chatting with young women like me, right? So, you like mature women?"
"Well!" He was so amused by her words. He turned over, lay beside her, and put his arms around her. They were covered by the thin coverlet. "What do you want to know? I can tell you!"
"You can tell me whatever I want to know? Are you willing to talk to me? If not, I'd better chat with other men, such as the strange man yesterday. He is as handsome as you, but he knows how to amuse his girlfriend. He won't bother his ex-girlfriends if they are on a break. I think he is cool! I won't get into trouble if I am with him."
"Esther…" Elijah was enraged.
"I'm just kidding!" Esther said immediately with a smile.
Elijah kept a straight face. He got angry.
"Don't be so mean! Tell me how you know Kattie!" Esther said.
"I've known her for thirteen years!" Elijah said slowly, "My parents died in a plane accident. I couldn't accept it, so I became very rebellious. My grandfather thought I didn't live up to his expectations, so he drove me away. I just stopped eating to express my feelings. Then I fainted on the road. Kattie took me to the hospital."

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