A Moment in Destiny

The car stopped at the gate of the apartment, Esther got out of the car alone, Elijah's car drove quickly past her, Esther did not see him. He watched the small figure in the rearview mirror get out of the car, and suppressed his anger. Fortunately, she just had a meal with that man instead of doing anything else!

Philip was a gentleman, and he just sent her back when he said that he would send her back after having dinner.

Esther was a little tired.

In the past few days, she had her period, and her body had not been well-rested. Elijah was busy with Kattie’s affairs and did not take care of her meals. In the past, Hudson would ask people to cook pork rib soup, hen soup, and bird’s nest porridge for her. Because she was exceptionally weak when she had per menstruation, her body could not bear coldness.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Elijah's leather shoes in the cabinet. They were still wet and looked like he had just returned because the umbrella leaning against the door was still dripping.

Esther was taken aback, looking around for him, but saw nobody, "Elijah, are you back? How is Kattie?"

There was no response. Esther went in and looked for him. There was no one in every room.

Strange!

Then, she changed her shoes, her clothes were a little wet. That was after she declined Philip's kindness she returned his clothes to him, she came back with an umbrella and got wet.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened.

Elijah in slippers and holding a bag in his hand, which looked like a pile of clothes inside, as if he had walked in from next door.

"Are you back?" Esther looked up and saw him.

He just glanced at her indifferently, then put the pile of clothes on the counter, Esther could see that it looked like a lady's clothes. She was taken aback, and pointed to the other side, "That is also your apartment?"

Elijah was silent, and then passed her indifferently and walked into the room.

She frowned. "How is Kattie's recovery? Not good?"

He still didn't answer, and then went into the study. He was surrounded by an aura of indifference, even if he didn't speak, she could feel the coldness radiating from his body.

Esther didn't care, thinking about how he had hung up the phone, and now it looked like Kattie's treatment was not going well, she had caused trouble, and she felt more guilty, so she dare not ask anymore.

Then she went into the bathroom, took a shower, and planned to ask Elijah after.

Esther came out of the shower relaxed, Elijah seemed to be still in the study.

She poured a glass of water, walked in, put the glass on the desk, and asked gently, "Is Kattie recovering well?"

He did not respond.

Elijah was sitting on a leather chair. He looked as if he was stuck in it. She couldn't see his face. She could only vaguely see the hair on top of his head, the long legs that stretched out beside the table, and the rising smoke. Did he smoke? Esther stared in wonder, he must have something to worry about, otherwise, he wouldn't smoke in the study.
