Encircled in his arms, Sally was forced to go back to sleep with Elijah. By the time she woke up again, it was already past 10 in the morning. Yawning, she turned around and was again greeted by the sight of her husband’s absence. She counted the hours on her fingers. From five to ten, he had only slept for less than five hours.Could his body stand it? She rolled about in bed for a bit more before deciding that she would drag him to bed for an early night tonight. After she had rolled around some more, she remembered that she had to call Evonne. Evonne had gotten blackout drunk last night and would not let go of Seth as she kissed him. Sally had captured the entire thing on tape. Now, there was no way she would laugh mercilessly at her over this! “Was it that bad?” Evonne’s scepticism could be heard over the phone. “I don’t think I could do that. I’m a very reserved woman.” “Pfft——!” Sally rocked back and forth as she laughed. “Evonne Turner, I didn’t know you w
“The only thing you’ve learned from Elijah Moses after marrying him is his cunningness.” Sally pouted. “Don’t say that! My husband isn’t cunning! He’s the best!” Evonne rolled her eyes. It was true when they said love made you blind. Lips pursed, she tried to change the topic when she saw a tall, beautiful woman push open the door to The Golden Age open. Why did the person next to her seem so familiar? She raised her hand and tapped Sally on the shoulder. “Look at that woman!” Sally wrinkled her brows as she looked in the same direction. “Woah, she’s gorgeous!” The woman had on a pair of high-waisted pants in navy blue and a black scallop-edged top. She had an amazing figure that even a woman would lust over, with her long, slender legs being the main attraction. Her face was so beautiful, one could practically not take their eyes off her. Evonne frowned. “I didn’t ask you to look at her. Look at the man behind her. Isn’t that Pierre from your house?” Startled, Sall
“Evonne, forget it…” Sally was still trying to turn back as Evonne dragged her towards the lift. “Who knows, that woman might not even be meeting my husband.” “Or maybe they’re meeting for business matters…” She had absolute trust in Elijah and did not want to cause him trouble. If people formed a bad impression of him because she, as a wife, had not known better and caused him trouble while he was negotiating a business deal, she would feel eternally guilty! Evonne glared at her viciously. “I say, Sal, why are you not worried at all?“Your handsome blind man is not blind anymore! He’s no longer bound to a wheelchair, can see, and is doing pretty well in his business. Aren’t you just the tiniest bit worried he might be swept away by another woman?”Sally pursed her lips as she gazed steadily at Evonne. “I’m not worried.” Evonne, “...” She grabbed Sally. “I don’t care if you’re not worried, because I am!” “I won’t stand aside and let Elijah walk all over you because yo
Evonne rolled her eyes and walked over, flopping down next to the woman. Sally prepared to sit next to Evonne. However, Evonne pushed her away and rolled her eyes at her. “What are you doing sitting here? Sit next to your husband! Don’t tell me you’re scared of letting others know that he’s your husband?” Her words were decidedly pointed. Zoey Williams smiled gently and took a sip from her cup. “So, this is Mrs. Moses?” Sally had lost her balance when Evonne had pushed her and nearly plummeted to the ground. Luckily, Elijah was quick and caught her before she fell. The man gently let go of her and made sure she was settled next to him. His voice was full of love when he said, “So clumsy.” Sally’s face turned crimson and she pursed her lips in silence as she sat next to him. As he poured her a glass of lemon-infused water in his elegant manner, he smiled at Zoey. “Sorry about that, Ms. Williams. This is my wife.” “Nice to meet you.” Zoey smiled at Sally. “Let me in
Evonne cheered inwardly when she saw Zoey's face turn pale. It seemed that Elijah was less stupid than she had thought, and knew why she had brought Sally over, which was why he did not hesitate to display all his affection for Sally before them. She turned her head and said warmly, "Ms. Williams, please don't take offense, my friend here just got married to her husband a while ago and they're still in their honeymoon phase. They're not being this rude to you on purpose." Zoey's phoenix eyes darted towards her. "It's alright." "I heard that Mrs. Moses is not in good health." As she spoke, she took an elegant sip from her cup. "With her background, it must have been difficult for her to meet a man like Elijah. It's no surprise that she's clingy towards him." Her words sounded gentle, but its hidden meaning was as so, Sally was from the country, and now that she had finally nabbed herself a rich husband, she would be guarding him with all her might in fear that he would get s
“I have my methods of memorization!” Zoey, “...” Why would she want to get memorization tips from her? She was doing this on purpose! Did this idiot think that she had a bad memory and could not remember anything!? “It’s true, Ms. Williams does need some training.” Elijah laughed lightly as he ruffled Sally’s hair. “I had a lot of questions for Ms. Williams during our conversation just now, and she failed to remember a lot of details.” He smiled at his wife. “Why don’t you give Ms. Williams some pointers when you have the time?” “Alright!” Sally nodded her head in agreement after she had received validation. She looked at Zoey with a sincere gaze as she said, “Ms. Williams, don’t feel dejected. I’m sure the reason you can’t remember things is that you’ve been using the wrong technique to do so.” “I’ll use a systematic method to teach you, and seeing how you’re my husband’s friend, I won’t request payment of any kind!” Zoey, “...” What the f*ck! The expression
Elijah liked watching her flail around helplessly like a bunny, so he continued pushing her. “I did not realize Mrs. Moses was… paying attention to that when she was checking Zoey Williams out?” Startled, Sally’s face began steaming. She hurriedly pushed his hands away. “Don’t… don’t even think about it.” This was a private room in a restaurant. Anyone could come in at any time!” Elijah’s low voice, accompanied by his warm breath, travelled into her ears. “Even if someone comes in… can they control what I want to do with my wife?” “Besides…” His eyes glinted dangerously as he looked at her. “I’m thinking about it.” The alarm sounded in Sally’s mind! “I… I’m a traditional woman!” She pushed him away, putting a safe distance between them. “Besides, I... I was sick not too long ago. My body has not recovered fully yet!” The girl retained a defensive position as she gulped. “Hubby, you need to calm down!” The look in his eyes terrified her. She gritted her teeth as sh
“However, trusting you is one thing, and you giving me an explanation is another thing.” Just because she trusted him completely did not mean that he could meet with a woman without telling her, right? If it was Zoey Williams today, who would it be another day?He said that a couple should be honest with one another and had made her promise that she would always tell him beforehand if she met with someone of the opposite gender. Well then, it wasn’t fair if he did not abide to that himself, right? Arms around her, Elijah sighed softly. “I didn’t meet with her because she’s beautiful. Nor for any other reason.” He sighed heavily as he pulled up a picture on his phone. “Look.” Sally took the phone. When her gaze landed on the two people in the photo, her eyes widened immediately. It was a photo of Zoey with a teenage boy. However, her temperament seemed much better than what had been displayed just now. Although they looked the same, the person in the photo seemed se
————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
