The Marvelous Elijah's Return novel Chapter 171

Read The Marvelous Elijah’s Return by Rever Chapter 171-Emergency meeting Adjusting his coat, Bryan Checks stood at the front door, exhausted from his seven–hour flight, and then he hit the doorbell, patiently waiting afterward.

A moment later, the door opened and a tall, slender older fellow stood In the doorway, smiling at Bryan, and said, “Good morning. I am butler Anthony, and you must be–”

“Bryan. I am Bryan Checks.” Mr. Checks said.

“Right. Please come in. My young master is awaiting you.”

“Thanks.”

Quietly, Bryan followed Anthony through the hallway, and finally, they got to a set of double doors, and then Anthony pushed it open, and announced, “Young master Elijah, Bryan Checks has arrived.”

Immediately, Elijah stood from the couch, a smile on his face, and then walked over to Bryan, pulling him in a hug, tapping him three times on the back before releasing.

“This place is massive!” Bryan said with a smile. “Excuse me,” Anthony said, bowing slightly before leaving the room.

When the doors closed, both Elijah and Checks took a seat on the couch, and Elijah then said, “The way you have been silent for these past weeks, and then you suddenly asked to see me, I hope that there isn‘t an issue.”

“Sorry to say... But there‘s an issue.” Bryan said, staring straight at Elijah.

After taking a long look at him, Elijah slightly smirked and then

said, “It‘s my turn to pay back my end of our bargain, isn‘t it?”

“Something like that.” Bryan let out casually, still maintaining eye contact. “I once said to you that my friends and allies could help you in ways that no one else could, and if you help me, we‘ll both benefit greatly.”

“And they have. If you weren‘t on my side, I wouldn‘t have succeeded faster than I did... You have rubbed on me too, Checks, and I care about you greatly as my friend, so whatever it is that you need me to help you with, I am ready to help, as long as it‘s not criminal because I don‘t want to be your plus one in prison.”

A laugh escaped Bryan‘s mouth, and he shook his head, listening to Elijah‘s soft chuckle.

“Well, my father... There‘s nothing about my relationship with my father on the internet or anywhere because he erased me from his bloodline...” Checks said with a pause as a look of hurt spiked in his eyes for a second

“No wonder why Brook couldn‘t get any information on that,” Elijah mumbled to himself.

“He did it because I am not his child by his wife. When he was running for a position in the house, he needed his clean reputation, so he threaten my mother that if she ever allow the media to find out about that one time he slept with her without her consent or to know about me since he was fifteen years older than her when I came in the picture, he will kill me as her punishment

and ruin her...”

“Damn...”

“Exactly… So, over the years, I have been working my ass off in Syldavia to build my popularity among the citizens and my power and influence for this very moment.”

“What moment?”

Smiling, Bryan rested back in the chair and then said, “His turn is over as the Senator of district two, and he‘s running again, and”

“You want to go against him, and that‘s why you introduce me to the five to have a higher connection leverage over him.” Elijah cut in, smirking lightly.

Laughing softly, Bryan nodded and then his expression hardened as he said, “Yes. His little position is everything to him, and I want to be petite... I want him to pay for the shit he did to my mother... to me!”

“What do you need me to do?” Elijah asked, feeling Bryan‘s anger and hurt in his voice.

“If I can get the support of the five, the election is guaranteed to be mine because he won‘t have the chance to rig the elections to win.” Bryan said, sitting up straight, “Because if he knew that I am his opponent in this election, he‘s going to do everything in his power to ruin me. I need powerful sponsors, people who will scare the shit out of him.”

After thinking hard for a moment, Elijah slightly smiled and said, “ Okay. I will make the calls then.”

The bedroom door opened and the sound of it made Peach woke from her sleep, seeing Elijah step into the room. “What‘s the time?” Peach mumbled, sitting up. “Two o‘clock,” Elijah replied simply, walking closer to the bed and then placing a kiss on Peach‘s cheek. “Oh my, has Bryan already left?! I can‘t believe I overslept. I wanted to be with you when be arrived and.”

“No, he‘s downstairs, and well… limm, he wants me to go back to Syldavia with him and help him out with some stuff.”

“Oh…. okay. You guys can go. I and little Munchkin will be fine.”

Raising a brow, Elijah hesitated and then said, “Are you sure?” “Yes!” Peach said quickly, getting out of bed, her bare feet landing on the cold floor. “Just promise me you will be careful. That‘s all we are asking.” Watching her mirror, Peach pouted at her reflection for a moment as she rubbed her stomach and then mumbled, “Why am I not showing yet? I want to look pregnant, Babe!”

A soft laugh left Elijah‘s lips as he said, “Doctor Harry said that it‘s normal... that one in twenty–five women make it all the way to labor before they understand they‘re going to have a baby–”

“Do you think little Munchkin is going to be a tiny baby?” Peach cried, her hormones making tears form in her eyes.

Chuckling softly, Elijah looked at her belly and then smiled gently as he said in a soft voice, “It doesn‘t matter, baby. Mommy and Daddy are going to shower him or her with all of our love no matter what.”

“You are right! Little Munchkin size doesn‘t matter.” Peach said, drawing in deep breaths. “When are you and Bryan leaving?”

“Today,”

“Cool... Cool, cool.” “Are you sure I can go?” “Yes! Goo...!!”
