A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 565

Elijah stood up to clean the table. He went to the kitchen to wash the tableware silently.

Esther frowned due to confusion. Why did he become so indifferent suddenly?

Before this, they either quarreled or just had sex whenever they met each other. But now, he acted so indifferently, and it made her feel uncomfortable. But he was the actual owner of the apartment whereas she just lived there temporarily.

Esther switched on the television and laid down on the sofa. She felt super comfortable watching the television after having a meal. She liked so much being a “pig”, which did not have any worries, ate until full, then slept after that. As long as she did not think of those worries, she would not feel upset. However, when she watched the television, she was still distracted!

It was because she switched to the entertainment channel and she saw Elijah at her first glance.

He was surrounded by reporters and they were asking him about his marriage.

Esther was panicked and suddenly curious about his reply. On the television, he looked calm and indifferent while staring at the camera with his sharp eyes. He said steadily, “Guys, this is my private life, and I would like to express my gratitude for your concern! But I would like to take this opportunity to declare that I am single currently and it will remain the same for the next few years!”

“President, I heard that you have engaged, and Miss Price is your wife. Can you explain about it?” A reporter asked.

“Esther?” Elijah asked back. “Is she my wife?”

With a counterargument, he threw back the question to the reporter.

Esther looked at it blankly. He did not admit it. Then, she heard that he said, “Please don’t simply make a guess and leave some space to Miss Price as well as me too!”

After saying such a simple sentence, Elijah left under the protection of bodyguards with a calm and elegant attitude.

Esther was stunned and she felt a little odd. Elijah mentioned that he was still single and would not be married in the next few years. Was their marriage considered a hidden marriage?

Elijah walked out of the kitchen and wiped his hands with a towel. Esther quickly changed the television channel to prevent him from knowing that she was watching the entertainment channel. However, Elijah who had an excellent hearing did not miss the entertainment news just now.

He looked at her small face with his sharp eyes. She was like evading and dared not look into his deep eyes.

He sat down beside her, and she immediately moved away a bit to keep a distance from him.

“Remote control!” She passed the remote control to him.

He raised his hand and received it.

He pressed the remote control with his big hand and changed the channel to an entertainment channel. The television was showing the follow-up news regarding the gossip on his marriage with Esther. Someone said that he kept a beauty secret while the others said that he had not married at all. Rumors were saying he did not even care about that little orphan so he would not pay attention to her. The woman that the president of Perry Group would look for should be someone who was matching with each other in the background.

If Esther would like to marry into a wealthy family, it was incredibly difficult!

Both of them looked at the news silently and he did not move. After the news ended, he changed the channel to watch the financial news. She felt that she was panting and slightly suffocated, but she did not stand up and left.

She felt awkward if she continued sitting together with him because she did not like to watch financial news. Esther did not pay attention to the contents displayed on the television.

She secretly glanced at the time and noticed that it was half-past seven only. So, it seemed unusual to sleep so early.

“I’m going back to my room!” She finally stood up and said it hurriedly.

“Tomorrow, you go to have a look at D University and report yourself on Monday. When you don’t have class, go to my office!” He said it while she was standing up.

“Ah! Do you still let me go study?” She was astonished because she thought that he was angry since she mentioned that she had no relationship with him.

“What do you want to do other than studying?” He asked with a hidden meaning with an ambiguous tone.

“I... I know that!” Esther’s face blushed. “I will go tomorrow!”

She seemed to forget his latter words which were asking her to go to his office if she did not have class.

When he saw her leaving hurriedly in an embarrassed manner, Elijah raised the corner of his lips. His gentle smile slowly affected the corner of his mouth which was indifferent, and it was so bright.

After returning to her room, Esther could not sleep at all. She was exhausted but she could not fall asleep.

Elijah watched the news for an hour and then returned to his room.

That night, Elijah never came out after going into his room.

Esther slept with an unsettling feeling.

That night was extraordinarily quiet.

Both of them slept in a separate room. In the morning, Esther woke up but Elijah went missing. There was a cup of milk, a piece of toast, and a fried egg on the table.

Esther took the cup of milk and sipped it. The milk was warm, and she felt touched.

Elijah, what kind of man was he?

...

After eating the breakfast prepared by Elijah, Esther felt that she was like a child and the feeling of being taken care of was so warm. But, when she thought of all these feelings came from a stranger man, she felt kind of odd again.

After getting familiar with the environment at D University, she went to the hospital to visit Kattie and Hudson.

In the ward.

Winnie peeled an apple and handed it to him. “Hudson, eat an apple!”
