Read The Marvelous Elijah’s Return By Rever Chapter 128 – Divorced for the second time

As Peach was about to take a spoonful of her cereal, she halted, hearing Elijah call out to her from outside the kitchen, “Babe, Babe…”

When he walked through the doorway, she smiled at the excitement on his face, and she whispered, “Someone is in a good mood this morning?”

“Okay… Okay! Take a look at these!” Elijah said, drawing her bowl of cereals from before her, making Peach pout after her food.

When he rested his phone in front of her and sat down, she frowned at him slightly, picked up her spoon, and started eating her food as he mumbled, mouthful, “Take a look.”

For a moment, Peach watched him shamelessly slurping the milk before she put her focus on the phone and tapped the screen to brighten it.

Gazing at the huge mansion on his screen, Peach frown deepened, raising her head to see that he had laterally put the spoon down and had the bowl in his hand

“Can‘t you just fix a bowl for yourself?” She cried, pouting harder.

“You drain me last night and had me working overtime until this morning… SO the fact that I am starving is your fault,” Elijah said before drinking the last milk directly from the bowl, making Peach sigh.

“You make it sound like I was the only want enjoying myself last night when you were groaning so loud that last night was the one time I was glad that we were not doing it at the motel because my mom was never going to look at us the seen this morning, with those innocent smile…”

“True. But like I said, you encourage me to work harder… So it‘s your fault.”

A laugh escaped her lips at her husband‘s shamelessness, and then she shook her head, focusing on the phone again.

“What are these?” Peach asked, showing his phone to his face.

“Choose one out of the ten for our new home,” Elijah replied, reaching for the cereal box.

“You are kidding,”

“Nope,”

Watching him dump the cereal into the bowl and then add milk, she frowned slightly, mumbling, “Hon, these places look like they cost a fortune.”

“I know. But they are in a secure neighborhood, with high–standard security cameras, and it‘s in a fence… We both know that your family is crazy…. between kidnapping you and trying to kill me…” Elijah blurted out, pausing mid sentence and staring intently at her.

There was a long silence, but he could see that Peach was about to lose it in, five, four, three, two, “They did what?!”

The sharpness in her voice made him flinch, and then he pushed the bowl of cereal in from of her like some peace offering he was sacrificing.

“What I am trying to say is that… they are plain crazy, and we can‘t continue living in this hotel, so if I am taking you home, I want it to be somewhere safe, where we won‘t have to worry about them,” Elijah explained, taking a spoon full of cereal and placing it on her lips, hitting it slightly against her mouth when she refused to open up.

Shutting her eyes, Peach finally ate his peace offering and then drew a deep breath before raising her eyes to stare at him.

“These homes are way too costly… The company is just starting, I don‘t know how much you invested in it to kick it off after Elmer nonsense, but after such a huge project, buying a mansion or villa is not the best decision, especially when you are shouldering all of our financial burdens… Hon, a nice two bedroom…” Peach mumbled, pausing to eat his second peace offering.

“Investec Co. is for you… I have investments in other companies that are kicking off pretty well and dividends are decent. So, trust me, we don‘t have money issues.” Elijah stated confidently.

“You didn‘t tell me that you have involvement in other businesses.”

“I did not?”

“Elijah,”

When she frowned at him, Elijah sighed heavily, dropping the spoon into the  bowl, and then reached over for her hand, saying, “I had a serious trust issue when we got married… I know that it‘s not your fault… But I kept a lot of things from you. Honestly, I am shocked right now at how much I am saying out loud more casually…”

Meeting her eyes, Elijah squeezed her hand, and she returned his gaze, smiling softly at him as he mumbled, “You changed me in ways I never thought I would ever become, and you helped me to do so much better than before… So, I know our past was a bit rocky, but I promise that our future is going to be different.”

“Promise?” Peach asked, giving him a shy smile.

“Cross my heart.”
