“Then, I will be sick with it! I will be so sick that my inner hormone becomes imbalanced!” Esther took over the phone from Elijah angrily and said, “Eh! Kattie? Anything?”
The voice at the other side trembled and she laughed immediately, “Ah, Esther! I have cooked some soup and do both of you want to have some?”
“Thank you, Miss Cole. We have eaten already, and you can have it by yourself!”
“I am at the door already! And I bring the soup!”
Esther frowned, “Oh! I'm going to open the door!”
Elijah looked at her face which was as red as a ripe apple and it emitted a special fragrance. Her lips were kissed by him until they were red. When his eyes moved downwards, he saw that her white body was filled with his biting marks and bruises. But, at that moment, her face was getting more and more blushed. “Babe...”
“Don’t get me mad! I am angry now!” She wore her pajamas, “This method is not brilliant at all and she still wants to seduce a man. Let me chase her away!”
“Just ignore what she does!” Elijah said quietly, “She would lose her interest as time goes but would she not knock the door?”
“Urgh! If this continues, I will become sick of it! Before I lost all my interest in you, I need to prepare myself!” Esther tidied up her clothes and got down the bed. She walked to the door hurriedly and opened the door with a usual smile on her face immediately. She looked into Kattie’s big and innocent eyes.
“Miss Cole, we don’t want to drink the soup! Thank you! Elijah and I have something important to do and would you please not knock on the door again tonight? We don’t want to drink soup tonight. So, don’t call us too because we want to have sex tonight to celebrate your discharge from the hospital. Haha, I am sorry!”
“Ah! I am sorry!” Kattie smiled embarrassedly, “I am sorry! I don’t know I have disturbed you!”
Kattie’s face was blushed because she did not expect Esther to be so straightforward. At that moment, she was unable to say what she prepared earlier.
“Never mind, Miss Cole. If you are bored, you can look for a boyfriend and have sex with him! I am going in!” Esther sneered and closed the door with a bang sound.
Esther walked back to the bedroom angrily and Elijah was leaning his head against one of his hands. He looked at her bantering face to his surprise. “You got angry?”
In the bar late at night.
It was a great place to dispel stress by drinking alcohol. At a corner, Hudson drank the wine cup by cup, and the more he drank, the clearer his mind was.
At another dark corner, a middle-aged man saw Hudson was drinking continuously then he said to his subordinate behind him, “Fetch me a bottle of 82, he would want to have more later. Put this inside!”
“Chairman?” The subordinate was stunned when he saw that there were two packets of drugs in Christ’s hand.
Christ looked at him with his cold eyebrows and the subordinate became quiet immediately. “Remember, don’t let him be aware of it!”
“Yes! I will go to do it!”
“Remember to do it secretly. Also, when Hudson was almost drunk, you use his phone to call Winnie. It is either success or failure tonight!” Christ looked at Hudson who kept drinking the wine then stepped outwards.
“Wine!” Hudson called the waiter, “Give me the strongest wine!”
After a while, the waiter gave him the prepared wine. Hudson opened and poured out the wine then continued drinking because there was great pain in his heart. Hudson squinted and suppressed the pain in his heart. He directly drank the bottle at one go.
Why couldn’t he suppress his pain when he knew that she was his sister, and it was impossible for them? Meanwhile, the wine was finished and Hudson who was drunk laid on the table. The cup on his hand had fallen onto the ground and it was shattered into pieces.
“Young master, wake up!” After a while, after ensuring that Hudson had fallen asleep, the man only approached him and brought him to the hotel room. Then, he called Winnie with Hudson’s phone.
“Mrs. Ball, hi! I am a waiter from XX Hotel and your husband was drunk in the bar. Now, he is in Room 2316, and would you please come here?”
When Winnie picked up the call, she was going to explain that she was not Hudson’s wife anymore but the other side had hung up the call.
She could only rush there hurriedly and when she just stepped into the lobby, the waiter handed over the room card to her immediately.
Winnie did not think much and took over the room card then stepped into the lift. After the door was opened, she saw Hudson who was lying on the big bed and was drunk.
“Hudson? Wake up. How do you feel?” She looked at the drunk man pitifully and Winnie outstretched her hand trembly. She shook Hudson’s big hand and she was slightly shocked because the warm feeling flew from his hand to her whole body. It ignited her deepest admiration and love.
“Esther…” Hudson, who was drunk, was calling Esther’s name and Winnie was stunned then put down her bag. She frowned again and immediately fetched the towel then put it on his forehead.
“Hudson? Do you feel uncomfortable?” Winnie’s delicate face was filled with anxiety.
She took another piece of towel to carefully wipe on Hudson’s face and meanwhile, her heart was tempted again. She could not control herself from loving this man since the year she stepped into the school. He was in the third year of postgraduate and going to graduate soon.
Their interaction was limited. When they met during certain occasions in the school sometimes, he used to have an indifferent face and seldom interacted with others especially girls. So, he did not have any female friends around him.
At that moment, many girls desired to become Hudson’s wife. After that, he went abroad unexpectedly! He went to the US for three years! After coming back, the Ball family proposed marriage and he agreed to it surprisingly. They just met for once then got married suddenly!
Then, they divorced suddenly again!
Winnie touched at his handsome face with her hand and felt sorrowful but meanwhile, she felt more helpless. Love could not be forced and currently, Esther was with Elijah. It was fate. However, she knew that she did not have any predestined affinity with Hudson.
“Esther!” The drug began to work and Hudson suddenly grabbed the cold hand on his face that was so soft. At this lifetime, he would never possess such a gentle feeling.
“Hudson...” Winnie was stunned and quickly took out her hand. Unfortunately, he grabbed it tightly against his chest. “Hudson, I am not Esther...”
“Esther...”
After becoming shocked, her tone became gentle. When looking at Hudson who was drunk and unconscious, Winnie was emotionally moved. Her other hand was trembling and slowly falling onto his cheek. “Hudson, why would you harm your body in such a way?”
When she was muttering softly, Hudson pulled her forcefully onto his chest.
In a dazed condition, Hudson held his hangover’s forehead and opened his blurred eyes. He could not see anything and everything in front of his eyes was blurred. He could only feel that there was a soft body lying on his chest.
Under the effect of wine, aphrodisiac, and psychedelic, Hudson suffered from a severe headache and he could not see the person in front of his eyes. He could feel that everything was blurred and he tried hard to look at it clearly but in vain. With the blurred vision, Esther’s adorable face seemed to appear in front of him and he could not bear from muttering, “Esther, I miss you so much!”
”Let go of me...” Winnie shouted with a low voice anxiously.
“Esther, Esther...” Hudson’s body was so hot and he turned his body to press against Winnie instinctively.
“No! I’m not!” Winnie was rejecting.
He was like a thermal power plant that was emitting heat incessantly. His whole body was so hot and he tore apart her clothes instinctively. “Esther, I am so upset!”
“Hudson! I am not Esther, no! Let go of me!” Esther shook her head and her tears were dropping. She was not the substitute of any person. “Let me go, Hudson! I am Winnie, I beg you to let go of me!”
“Don’t want to wake up... Don’t wake up...” Hudson muttered softly because he did not want to wake up to destroy this sweet dream. He wanted to experience the feeling of falling in love with a woman and also the feeling of sex...
