However, Elijah seriously and calmly stroked her head as he listened to all that her little chatterbox mouth had to say.Occasionally, he would even ask curiously.He would say things such as, “Then did Wynn manage to get married?”And, “Can your uncle’s Billy and Bobby also climb trees?”He even inquired concernedly about the old grandma of the Summers Family Village that Sally spoke of.Aunt Leigh and Ol’ Joe felt like they had reached the highlight of the show.Was this still their master?!Their master was usually so haughty and cold that he could not even be bothered to listen to Wendall’s stories.Yet he could now quietly listen to Sally talking about this countryfolk’s trifle!Sure enough, love really could make someone completely lose all reason…Sally laid on Elijah’s lap, talking and talking until she finally talked herself to sleep.With that, Elijah gently lowered his head. Caressing her shiny black hair, the corners of his lips lifted involuntarily.Raising his
Sally had a very long dream.In the dream, she brought Elijah to an old house in the village. An old man with a white beard gave Elijah a mystical pill, and after Elijah took the pill, his eyes were healed.In the dream, Elijah, whose eyes were cured, hugged her and complimented her endlessly on her beauty while kissing her face non-stop.Her heart was full of both shyness and sweetness. “Hubby, stop kissing me…”“Alright, I’ll stop.”The man’s low voice held a smile as it seemed to travel over from a place far away——Sally opened her eyes with a start.Elijah’s smiling eyes were before her.She startled. It turned out… that she was dreaming.She had been happy for no reason.Elijah stretched out his large, well-defined hand and raised her chin. “Did you dream of something that shouldn’t have been dreamt, Mrs. Moses?”Thinking about what happened in the dream, Sally’s face reddened. “No… No, I didn’t!”“No?”The man laughed lightly. He picked up the pen recorder that was p
“Okay then.”She answered dully and returned to bed.Elijah picked up his phone and pressed for a speed-dial number then tossed the phone at her. “Tell Aunt Leigh what you want to eat.”Sally’s face went as red as an apple.“Madam, what would you like?”Aunt Leigh had been his servant for many years after all. Once Elijah called, she knew what it meant.Sally pressed her lips together. “I would like some noodles…”Saying this, she lifted her eyes to glance at Elijah. “Uh-huh, three portions of noodles, please.”Downstairs, Aunt Leigh was startled. Three portions?“Madam, I know how much Sir eats. No matter how tired he is, he doesn’t have to eat two portions of noodles.”Sally’s hand stilled slightly as she clutched the phone. Her face reddened. “That… The one eating two portions… is me.”Aunt Leigh was at a loss for words. Half an hour later, Aunt Leigh brought three bowls of noodle soup upstairs.Sally leaned on the bay window cross-legged, listening to music as she slu
Evonne’s words made Sally hesitate for a moment.She smiled. “I’ll still choose to trust Javier.“After all, he does owe my husband a favor. Even if he doesn’t like him, he won’t hurt him.”Evonne pursed her lips. “I hope he’s as good as you say then…”The two women chatted for a while until Evonne suddenly had something to do. Then, they hung up.Sally kept her phone.Although Elijah had pulled her into such a long session of exercise in the morning, with these two bowls of noodles, she was instantly full of energy!So full of vigor that she did not know what to do with it.She came out of the bedroom and faintly heard Elijah and Pierre’s voices conversing in the study.It seemed the company did indeed have many matters that had to be settled.Sally did not dare to disrupt him but also had nothing to do, so she went downstairs to look for Aunt Leigh.Ever since Aunt Zelda had left, Aunt Leigh had been promoted-though she did not know why. In the past, Aunt Leigh only manage
The man’s eyebrows furrowed in displeasure. “Does it look like I’m alright?”Sally pressed her lips together and briefly scanned his already soaked body. It seemed as if he was not alright after all…“I have a change of clothes in the car.”Seth glanced at her impatiently before passing her the car keys. “Go bring them here.”Luckily, he used to make frequent, last-minute work trips, so he made the habit of keeping spare clothes in the car. “Oh.”Sally received the car keys and went to look around in the backseat of the car. Sure enough, she found a complete set of men’s clothing, from innerwear to outerwear.She hurriedly jogged over, carrying the clothes, then stopped in front of Seth. “Here.”Seth glared at her. “My entire body has been drenched to this extent and you want me to hold this?!”Did this servant even have the basic awareness of her role?Sally froze. That was true.She pressed her lips together. “Then I’ll hold it for you.”The man’s brows pinched together.
“Where’s your wife?”Sitting in the Moses house’s living room, Seth asked softly as he sipped tea.Elijah furrowed his eyebrows lightly. “Perhaps she’s gone to class.”When he had been eating noodles earlier, Pierre said some issues had popped up over at Europe, so he had busied himself in the study and forgotten about her.Still, she probably should have gone to class.Aside from going to class and self-studying, she did not seem to have any other interests.“Oh, so she’s still a student.”Seth purposely teased Elijah with a suggestive gaze. “I never thought that Elijah Moses—who had been abstinent for so long—would like something so tender?”Elijah smiled coldly as he poured a cup of tea and took a sip. “I remember I once said that teasing the boss is like halving your salary.”Seth smiled. “I don’t care about the bit of salary you give me.”After saying this, he stretched. “Still, using these means to call me back this time only to let you and your wife go play in a villag
The man said in a low voice.Sally raised her eyes. When her large eyes saw Elijah, they immediately curved along with her smile.She skipped over quickly and leaped into his embrace. “Hubby, you’re done with your work?”“Mhm.”Elijah smiled lightly. “What did you do? Why’re you all wet?”Only then did Sally realize she was soaked all over.The wet stains seeped into his clothes from where she hugged Elijah.She hastily got out of his arms and smiled, a little embarrassed. “I didn’t have anything to do, so I went to the courtyard to water the plants.“The hose burst just now. I fixed it myself, so I got all wet…”She pressed her lips together. “I’ll go change my clothes. I’ll be done very soon!”After saying this, the girl ran so fast upstairs that she left a trail of smoke behind.Ten minutes later, Sally—refreshingly dry—hopped downstairs.She went to return the gardener’s clothes to the gardener’s resting room first before turning back to the living room and pouncing int
Elijah laughed lightly. His gaze beneath the black silk ribbon stopped at her flat stomach. “I would very much like to give this present to Grandma, but this seed has not yet been planted a month. It wouldn’t even be the time to sprout.”Sally’s face reddened to her ears in a puff.“We’ll just have to give Grandma some, more traditional things first.”Looking at her bright red face, the man smiled, pleased. “Push me in to eat. We’ll research presents after eating, hm?”Sally nodded. “Uh-huh!”Elijah did not break his word.After dinner, he brought Sally to the mall to buy gifts.On the way to the supermarket, Sally was still a little worried at heart.Elijah could not see a thing. Going to a supermarket, he could only listen and feel things here and there.Moreover, today was Saturday. If there were many people in the supermarket, no matter how good his ears were, they would not be very useful…However, when she arrived at the supermarket, she noticed that the supermarket… ha
————One year later. The wedding of Zoey Williams, president of Yoder Corporation, and Thomas Yoder, the young master of the Moses family, was held at A City’s grandest hotel. On the wedding day, Zoey wore a gorgeous wedding gown as she walked over to Thomas. She raised her head and smiled at him. “When I was a kid, Freya always said that I would have to marry her brother when I grew up.” “However, I realized that I did not like Elijah. I much preferred Sis Sally.” “Who would have thought that at the end of the day, I would still end up marrying Freya’s younger brother. As per her wishes, I’ll be taking care of her brother forever, and allowing her brother to care for me for the rest of my life.” Thomas smiled as he pulled her into his arms. “My beloved ZZ, I finally get to marry you.” Freya, carrying Frigg and sitting with the rest of the family, turned to exchange smiles with Bennett. The wedding was joyful and romantic. Everyone attending basked in the loving atmosp
“If you destroy everything I have, then I’ll destroy everything you have!” Queenie gritted her teeth, a hideous expression on her face as she glared at Sally and said, “If it weren’t for you, I would still be the high-and-mighty young lady of the Tate family!” “It’s all because of you that I became nearly a stand-in for you. I’ve enjoyed many years of lavish treatment at the lavish family, but I was discarded unceremoniously into the dust!” “Sally Summers, it’s all your fault! Everything is because of you!” “I won’t forgive you even if I become a ghost!” “Alright then, go be a ghost!” Elijah narrowed his eyes and raised a hand to grip Queenie’s chin. The hatred in his eyes caused Queenie to smile. “Elijah Moses, choke me to death if you have the guts to do so!” “If you can’t choke me to death, I have multiple ways to make life miserable for you!” “Your sister is just one part of my plan!” “You probably don’t know this yet.” Her lips curled upwards into a bloodthir
The woman lying in bed frowned and said in a weak, hoarse voice, “You are…” “I’m the woman who did it for a long time with your husband.” She sat down on a nearby chair and watched gleefully as the woman’s face turned increasingly paler. “You have a pretty bad memory, Mrs. Lucca.” “We just met the other day.” She shook her head as she spoke. “It makes sense, though. It’s only normal that a half-dead person would not have a great memory.” “Forgive me for being blunt, Mrs. Lucca. President Lucca told me that you don’t have many days left.” “When you’re gone, he’s going to leave his daughter and marry me.” The woman lying in bed turned pale as she shook her head and said, “Impossible… That’s impossible…” “Quincy, he…” “Nothing is impossible.” Queenie continued smiling a gleeful and flaunting smile. She threw her pregnancy test strip onto the woman’s face. “Look, I’m pregnant.” “How could I have gotten pregnant if we only did it one time? Such coincidences don’t exi
“In your dreams!” Quincy gritted his teeth together tightly. “I wouldn’t want you even if every other woman on the planet was dead!” The woman on the other end of the line laughed lightly. “You’re going to abandon your child because Freya Moses is dead?” “You planted your seed in my stomach.” Quincy gritted his teeth and was about to continue arguing when Elijah gave him a look. Quincy pursed his lips. “So, what do you want?” “Let’s meet up.” Queenie yawned. “Can you pick a place?” “There’s a cafe nearby the hospital.” Quincy sighed. “I don’t have much time for you, so don’t try talking nonsense after we meet.”“What a man you are, trying to ghost someone after you’ve slept with them.” The woman shrugged nonchalantly. “Alright. You can wait for me. I’ll be there soon.” She hung up. Quincy pursed his lips and looked up at Elijah. “Why do you want me to meet her?” “You’ve got to have some bait if you want to trap someone.” “This time, Quincy, you’re the bait.
The sharp end of the knife sank into Quincy’s skin. Intense pain came, but he did not seem to feel a thing as he continued pushing. Suddenly, a large, strong, and dry hand took hold of him. Quincy frowned as he tried to continue forcing the knife in, but he could not exert any more strength. Elijah’s cold voice rang beside his ear. “Do you feel like my sister will live on for much longer if you die before her eyes?” “Have you ever thought about how much she likes you and how important you are to her?” Stunned, Quincy turned instinctively to look at Freya. The woman was sobbing controllably. As she gazed tearfully at him, it seemed that she had multiple things she wanted to say but could not find the words. Tears flowed once more from Quincy’s eyes. Ignoring the blood flowing from his chest, he dashed over to Freya and held her tightly. “It’s my fault.” “It’s all my fault!” “Freya… I can’t live without you.” “I cannot… I…” Freya could not stop herself from wr
After Freya was hospitalized, Quincy canceled all his work plans and spent all his time in the hospital watching over her. Although she never let him in, and although he could only ever gaze at her through the window from afar. However, he insisted on not taking even a step away from her ward. He stood guard there stubbornly, and no one could talk any sense into him. Both Elijah and Thomas could not bring themselves to chide or drive Quincy away when he acted this way. And thus, Freya finally agreed to meet him on the seventh day. The woman’s face in the ward was pale, and she was considerably thinner than from before hospitalization. She looked extremely haggard. Tears welled in Quincy’s eyes when he saw what his beloved looked like from a close distance. It was all his fault. It was all his fault! He had caused her to end up this way! All because of him!“Is there anything you would like to say?” Freya leaned against her pillows. Eyes shut, she seemed to have
Sally’s lips pursed themselves together when Freya’s name was mentioned. She would admit that she had had a horrible first impression of Freya when they first met. The woman had stripped nearly twenty years of Zoey’s life away from her. Even now, Zoey still bore the scars she had inflicted upon her on her face. And she had even attacked Sally’s mother during her and Elijah’s wedding. However, times had changed, and five years had passed since then. Sally could not bring herself to be cruel toward Freya, who now showed complete remorse. Additionally, she had treated Sam and Little Sarah with genuine kindness lately. Sally had begun to think of her as family. Yet, now, something like this happened. She sighed. “Freya…” “Freya will not be in great condition when she regains consciousness. You need to prepare yourself mentally.” Freya’s illness was in her heart. The sort of illness she had made it so that she could not be made angry, excited, or frantic. If not, not e
Evonne and Sally were slurping instant noodles when Elijah and Thomas arrived at the doctor’s on-call room. They were starving and had virtually no energy left. The only thing in the room they could use to fill their stomachs was instant noodles. When the door opened, Elijah frowned slightly when he saw his petite wife steadily making her way through a pack of instant noodles. The man strode over and grabbed her bowl. “Unhealthy stuff.” Sally had been enjoying herself and raised her head angrily when her instant noodles were taken away. “I don’t care if it’s not nutritious! I’m hungry… Hubby?” The emotions in the woman’s eyes turned from anger to shock, and then to surprise! Reaching out her arms, she encircled Elijah’s neck and jumped into his arms. “You’re back!” “I missed you so much!” He had been on his ocean trip for more than half a month. They had never been separated for so long since getting back together. The signal on the sea was spotty, and she could never
When Sally finished suturing the last ruptured blood vessel in Freya’s heart, she was starving, exhausted, and had little to no energy left. Evonne, who was beside her, was not much better off. “It’s steady! The patient’s heartbeat is steady again!” The nurse staring at the electrocardiograph yelled out excitedly! Given the condition the patient was in, if it weren’t for these two doctors, they would never have been able to save her! “Dr. Summers and Dr. Turner are amazing!” “Of course.” A senior doctor standing nearby smiled as he stroked his beard and said, “How did you think Dr. Summers earned her title of genius surgeon?” The young nurse’s mouth widened in surprise. “In that case… why are Dr. Summers and Dr. Turner no longer working as doctors?” The senior doctor sighed. “I guess they have their reasons…” In another corner, Evonne leaned against the wall, exhausted as she turned to look at Sally. “Dr. Summers, do you still plan to stay on as a housewife?” Sa
