Instead, he chose to wave his hand and took a cab.
Elijah did not stop her. The Veyron car followed Esther slowly. Esther knew that he had been following her.
Esther got out of the cab after she reached her apartment, and the Veyron also followed her.
She didn't look at him and just went upstairs.
It was strange that Elijah did not go upstairs.
Esther went to wash her face and then she looked at herself in the mirror, smiling sadly. Her slender, thin back seemed to have unbearable loneliness and grief!
Without a reason, she missed Hudson suddenly!
She missed the days in Switzerland and the United States! It was just happy and simple!
Esther smiled sadly with sour tears in her eyes. She watched her tears falling into the basin, resulting in the mark of ripples and she lost her senses gradually. Hudson didn’t call her anymore these days. He was her elder brother now and she had already married Elijah.
She was no longer the Esther in the past!
Elijah didn't come back until she had taken a shower and changed clothes. She opened the door, and a strong smell of smoke flew in. It seemed like Esther didn't see him. She changed her pajamas and sat on the sofa to watch TV.
Once again, seeing the deep mourning on her face where her smile faded, Elijah sighed in a bad mood without saying anything.
Esther watched the TV and her tears rolled out of her eyes suddenly.
Elijah took off his coat and sat on the sofa.
“Crying?” He stretched his slender fingers and wiped away the tears hanging on her cheeks. Was she crying?
After a stunning surprise, Esther kept calm, turned her face away, and ignored him!
He didn't speak. Then, he sighed for a long time and went to take a shower!
Esther went to the study. She stayed there until late at night. When she came out, she saw Elijah sitting on the sofa, smoking a cigarette deeply.
Esther was about to enter the bedroom when he stood up out of the blue and hugged her. He stood behind her and buried his face in her neck.
Esther’s heart trembled without moving, struggling, or rejecting.
He lifted his head from her back and let her face him. Then, his lips printed on hers.
Esther’s heart tightened and she shrank subconsciously. She didn't want it, she didn’t want to be treated like yesterday!
He felt her nervousness and fear. His heart tightened. Then, his handheld her shoulders instinctively and his lips kissed hers with slight strength.
Esther closed her eyes, struggling in her heart. Should she push him away? What should she do?
Maybe it was out of instinct, she raised her hand and pushed his face. Then, she kept her face away, “Elijah——”
Elijah stared at her eyes. She was resisting him. He stared at her motionlessly.
After Elijah stared at her for a minute, he then stroked her face, “Alright, you go to sleep first.”
After saying that, he turned around and sat on the sofa again.
Esther stared at him blankly. Her tightened heart relaxed a bit but another inexplicable worry came up again, he said nothing!
Esther returned to the bedroom and slowly laid on the bed. She turned off the bedside lamp and stayed quietly, listened to the sound from outside.
She couldn’t sleep, she found that she was unable to sleep. She wanted to sleep but she couldn’t make it.
Without knowing how long it passed, she was awakened by the sound of the door closing. It was the sound of the security door. Did Elijah go out? She turned on the bedside lamp, the clock pointed at one-thirty in the midnight. She lifted her quilt and walked out of her bedroom quickly.
After turning on the lamp in the study, Esther was stunned. It was empty. Elijah had gone out! Inexplicably, Esther felt so disappointed again.
The night was getting longer and longer!
While Ethel was getting along with women happily, he was called by Elijah. When he rushed to the bar, Elijah was drinking alcohol sullenly by himself, not eager or slow, with a glass of wine in his hand and kept drinking.
“What’s the matter?” Ethel frowned and looked at him. “What happened to you and my sister?”
Elijah raised his eyebrows. ‘Uh! I almost forgot Esther had become Ethel's sister now!’ Elijah frowned for her new identity and said nothing!
“You left the little girl at home and came out by yourself?”
Elijah didn't say a word, he raised his hand to call the waiter for an empty glass. Then, he poured some wine and pushed it to Ethel. Elijah raised his cup and touched glasses. Ethel had no choice but to hold his glass up, clinked it, and drank it all in one go.
“Hey! Elijah, what's wrong with Elijah?” Ethel went straight ahead. Elijah’s silent expression was the most unbearable thing and he could not help but guess what he was thinking. It seemed that the problem was tough.
“What kind of women do you think will have an affair?” Elijah twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled faintly. His expression was unpredictable.
Ethel was astonished. ‘What did Elijah mean for his question?’
“You mean, Esther had an affair?” Ethel couldn't help but his voice just went high.
Elijah just snorted coldly and took another sip of wine.
“Esther is not that kind of person!” Ethel spoke confidently. “Stop making trouble! Let's go, take you back!”

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