The Marvelous Elijah's Return novel Chapter 124

Read The Marvelous Elijah’s Return By Rever Chapter 124 – One step closer to the truth The moment Madam Jewel walked into the living room, her sons and grandsons were all waiting on herwith mad eyes and scowls.

“Where did you go?” Dean asked first.

“We have been waiting for hours now.” “Also, why did you lie to Mr. Bamford, huh? It’s almost night time and our wives, sisters, and aunts are not back home yet!” Josh lashed out, not even holding back his anger.

“I want to respect you mother, but Evelyn might be in danger, and I think I can’t continue honoring your decision to stay silent about this!” Mathew chimed in from the other side of the room.

A snarl left Tyson’s lips as he stood up from the couch and said, “I don’t know what we are still doing here, instead of getting people out there to search‐” “Elijah has them!” Madam Jewel shouted, causing silence to fall into the room.

None of them spoke after that.

Instead, they looked at her with questioning looks on their faces.

“You said Elijah has who?” Mathew finally questioned.

A sigh came out from Madam Jewel as she sat down in a chair and rubbed her temples.

“I kidnapped Peach with the help of Melina and Jacob…” She confessed, looking at the ground.

“…It was to pursue Elijah to free Elmer.” Frowning, Tommy let out a frustrated groan and yelled, “You are still in touch with that lunatic?! Why would you do something that risky?! What if Elijah finds out the truth about who Jacob is?! He will just be one step closer to the truth!” “And also, you got my daughter involved in such a dangerous situation!” Dean yelled, glaring at his mother.

Ignoring his brother’s outburst, Eli spoke up and tried to keep his tone calm.“ How did Elijah get a hold of every woman in our family?” That question brought silence to the room again.

Slowly, everyone turned to look at Madam Jewel, and when she felt their eyes on her, she calmly raised her head and locked eyes with each of her sons and grandsons.

Then with her head hung low, she answered their questions in a soft voice, “I don’t know.

But I have returned Peach to him, and he promised to release everyone back to us…”

“He promised…” Josh laughed, rage and disbelief clearin his voice.

“He has crossed the damn line with this shit that he has done!” “Josh is right.

If he’s bold enough to kidnap our women and girls…

What next is he going to do?! I say…” Tommy lashed out, pausing when his mother gave him a cold stare.

A murderous look was plastered onto her face when she spoke again, her voice ice cold, “We are going to do nothing.

For now, we will hold our horses and let Peach and Elijah be.

When the time is right, we will put an end to this madness.

And if I have to risk it all to do so…” Silence filled the air once more.

No one wanted to break it.

After all, there was nothing they could say.

Not saying a word, Elijah sat opposite Peach in the kitchen, at the table, watching Peach devour a pizza like some cute starving child.

“Are you sure that I should eat yours, hon?” Peach asked, licking the sauce off her fingers.

“Yes, darling.

I am positive.” Elijah assured her, smiling warmly at her.

But just like that, his face turned stone cold, and Peach’s smile disappeared.

She knew that look too well, and when he reached for her hand, she knew exactly why his eyes had suddenly turned dead of emotion.

“Who took it?” Elijah growled in a low, menacing voice.

A nervous laugh escaped Peach’s lips before she whispered hesitantly, “Can you please not go after Jacob…

Elijah, he has a gun, and a ring is not worth your life.”

When he didn’t answer her or look at her, she knew that he was already planning the same thing that she begged him not to, and she couldn’t stop herself from pleading, “Please, I beg of you, Elijah…

How did it feel watching me get kidnapped, not knowing if I was going to be okay or not?”.

Seeing the emotions that suddenly clouded his face at her was all the answer she needed to know how painful it must have been for him.

The look in his eyes was enough for her to understand, without having to hear him speak it out loud, that he was devastated.
