A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 614

Esther seemed to be afraid of him. She even left the half-eaten bun and ran quickly into Philip's room. Where should she be hiding? Where should she be hiding? She wandered around the room and suddenly saw a closet. She opened the closet’s door and got in.

When Elijah knocked on the door, the door was opened. Philip turned around calmly and looked at the doorway. Then, he picked up a dumpling and put it into his mouth. He asked playfully, “You’re here?”

“Where’s my Babe?” Elijah asked gently. His voice was deep. If he was not Esther’s brother, he would not be so polite. Perhaps, the door would be smashed last night.

“Sit down!” Philip talked endlessly and moved towards the sofa.

Elijah did not sit down as he looked at the half-eaten soup dumpling. He blinked a little and walked towards the bedroom.

“Elijah, this is my house!” Philip said in a deep tone. “Are you being too casual?”

The answer that he received was the sound of slamming the door. It showed that how manly this man was to go into someone’s bedroom without any consent!

As soon as the door was closed, the person in the closet was shivering, Amitabha! Amitabha! You couldn’t see me! You couldn’t see me!

Esther was praying in the closet while hoping that she would not be found. Now she was wearing another man’s shirt and she did not go back all night. What if Elijah knew about this, would she be alright?

But that pair of sharp eyes saw a pair of male slippers under the closet’s door. Elijah walked straight towards it and opened the door immediately.

Esther raised her eyes in horror as she looked at Elijah’s angry face.

“Hello!” Esther smiled awkwardly. “Elijah, how do you know that I’m in here? What a coincidence!”

Elijah rolled his eyes effortlessly, lowered his head, and looked at her. She was wearing another man’s oversized sleeping clothes. Curling up and locking herself in the closet, she looked embarrassed and flattered.

“Elijah, I didn’t cheat on you!” Esther explained immediately. Although she wanted to cry when she thought of what had happened yesterday and she admitted that she wanted to cry when she saw his handsome face at this moment, she thought it would be better to explain about it first!

“What a stupid woman!” After a long silence, Elijah’s low sigh was filled with helplessness and sorrow. He grabbed Esther’s hand and gently pulled her out.

There was neither the expected thunderstorm nor his weird-looking face. He seemed helpless and relieved at the same time.

“Huh?” Esther was startled. “You, are you not angry about it?”

That was not right! That should not be!

“Elijah, what I’m wearing is another man’s clothes? I didn’t go back the whole night. Are you not angry about it?” She tried to confirm again cautiously.

There were many kinds of emotions entangling in her heart. Elijah lowered his head and looked at her. She was afraid that she might be misunderstood, right? She was being considerate to him. He did not know if he should be angry or felt sorry for her. Anyway, he felt so bad for her in his heart.

“Stupid!” Just a single word came out from his lips.

“Elijah, are you not angry with me?” She asked cautiously again.

As soon as Elijah lowered his head, he quickly put his lips on Esther’s. It was a passionate kiss with compassion and affection. He stretched his hands to wrap Esther’s body tightly.

The sensation of both lips was like thirsty fishes found their water source. Elijah kissed arrogantly and wildly to the person who seemed to be startled and stiffed in his arms.

After a long while, until both could not breathe then only Elijah ended the kiss reluctantly. He hugged her body gently in a very extraordinary way and asked silently, “Are you that afraid of me being angry? Go back and make me happy then I’ll forgive you!”

“Wait, what?” Esther suddenly raised her head and asked in confusion. She asked with her swollen lips. What did he just say?

“Let’s go, let’s go home.” Elijah sighed a little. He hugged Esther tightly. He looked at her who was still in confusion. He wanted to tell her that the man outside was her family. However, Philip seemed like that he did not say anything to her. He could roughly guess Philip’s intention, so he decided not to tell Esther about Philip’s identity for the time being.

Both walked out.

Philip ate another soup dumpling and drank a glass of water. He turned around and looked at them. His handsome face looked stagnant. He slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said it in a neither too fast nor too slow pace, “Oh, that’s not fun, you were found too fast!”

Then, he paused and asked in a deep tone. “Babe, Christ had lied to you, how do we teach him a lesson?”

“Huh? Why did you call me ‘Babe’?” Esther only realized what Philip called her, she asked in confusion.

Philip did not say a word and looked at Elijah’s face. Elijah did not say anything as well.

“I’m talking about Christ!” Philip replied.

“Oh! About him, oh yes! Why did he say that I’m his daughter? And, he even showed me my mother’s photo, it seemed like he loved my mother so much!” Esther thought for a while and continued. “But Hudson mentioned that I’m not his sister! Then Christ is not my father, right? I don’t like him to be my father! Luckily, he wasn’t!”

She turned around and looked at Elijah. She said, “But I do want to ask Christ personally!”

“You don’t have to go anywhere! You don’t have to do all these!” Elijah held her little hand and looked back at Philip.

“My babe is a student. I only want her to focus on her studies!”

“I know better than you!” Philip blinked at him. “Are you two leaving like this?”

There was no answer. Elijah brought Esther together and left!

Philip smiled gently. His smile was real this time, he looked at their departed backs and sighed. ‘Finally, I found my sister! My father and mother should rest in peace in heaven, I will take revenge for them!’
