Finishing his words, he waved his hand toward Ol’ Joe, who walked forward and wheeled him away. The doors to the rooftop closed and the only ones left were Sally, Blair, and Liam. Blair twitched his lips, threw down the shackles that chained Liam, scoffed, and walked off right after.Liam rolled over and crawled his way onto the center of the rooftop and glared at Sally. “What are you standing there for, come and get me off these chains!”The moment Elijah left the scene, his tone toward Sally changed to being harsh and abusive once more. Sally was still in shock from witnessing someone almost dying and immediately unbound Liam from his chains as he yelled at her. Who knew, as soon as the chains came loose, Liam pounced and pinned Sally onto the ground, strangling her. “How dare you, you b*tch, to have these people come after me?”She never would have expected that this guy, who would not even risk crossing Elijah, to suddenly turned the tables and pinned her to the ground i
Sally Summers was lost, she did not quite understand what Elijah meant. “How would you do that?”It was evident on Elijah’s face that he was somewhat surprised by Sally’s question.His hand reached out and caressed her head. “***.”Then, he embraced Sally with one arm and wheeled his wheelchair forward with the other.This particular position was too awkward and Sally managed to pull herself away after a brief struggle. She wiped her blushing face, “Let me wheel you back.”The man in the wheelchair smiled casually. “You have to get used to this kind of life. Your husband is a disabled man, and when we get intimate, it’s going to be like this.”Sally shook her head. As she pushed him toward the elevator, she answered thoughtfully, “We can get intimate in the house, not like this…”“For example?”“On the sofa, and...on the bed, we can also…”__________________________Perhaps she was too full from eating and felt sleepy, Sally reclined against the car’s leather seat and slept
The voice surprised Sally. She almost lost her balance and nearly spilled the milk.Thankfully, her previous experience working in a cafe helped her find her footing.When she came back to her senses, the doors to the study room swung open. Blair looked at her with suspicion, “What are you here for?”In the face of such a direct query, Sally for a moment could not find the words to respond.After a while, she mumbled her intentions. “I’m here to give you guys some milk…”She truly did not mean to eavesdrop on their conversation, even though she did not understand a word of it.“Come in.”The indifferent voice of a man came from the room.Sally felt relieved and walked in swiftly with the tray of milk. Setting it on the table, she explained, “I just went down to warm some milk, and I figured you probably have not slept yet, so…”“Why did you wake up?”Elijah had his back toward her, seemingly uninterested to know why she was there.Sally was stunned and coughed lightly, “I ju
Elijah stared at Sally, his voice was solemn.Noticing the tension and intimacy building between them, Ol’ Joe gestured to Blair to leave the room.The doors to the study room closed.Sally’s face was red with embarrassment, “Mmm.”“Sally Summers.”His voice was deep and earnest. “There is no such thing as being indebted between husband and wife.”She nodded in acknowledgment. “Oh...I shall not speak of it again in the future.”Elijah massaged the area between his eyebrows. “Don’t speak of it and don’t think of it.”“But I truly am indebted to you, how can I not think of it?”Seeing her slow-witted expression, Elijah chuckled. “You can consider giving back to me with something of similar value.”“What is that?”“You owe me a child.”Sally, “...”_______________________________The day before, even though Evonne had persuaded Sally to avoid Aunt Sylvia who was blocking the way out of campus, but the very next day, stories of her being someone’s mistress had spread throughou
"How disgusting!”Evonne looked at Joan dead in the eyes and said, "You think you can talk about Sal like that just because you’re rich?"Sally looked down as she took out her books and notes from her school bag. "I mean, money is king."Since Grandma Summers fell sick, Sally had longed to become rich.Although she was now the wife of a rich man, nothing about it felt real to her."Don’t say that."Evonne frowned and said, "You need to stand up for yourself. Get Elijah here and give Joan a tight slap on the face. Make her kneel and apologize to you!"Sally shook her head and said, "Forget about it.""Why?""If they have their mind set on making fun of me, they’ll always find a way to do so. Even if I can prove that Elijah is not an old, ugly, fat, and bald person, they will still make fun of him for being disabled."Sally took a deep breath, put on her earphones, and replied, "Just ignore them."She married Elijah so that she could take care of him, not the other way around.
Sally frowned. She was just about to reply to Ol' Joe to tell him not to worry about it when she heard a commotion.She raised her head subconsciously only to see that Calvin Lewis, who was nearly fifty years old, had walked up to her respectfully and said, "Madam, I will be driving you home today on behalf of Ol' Joe."There was a huge uproar at the school gate area once he said that.Joan's eyes widened and she shouted, "Dad!"Calvin turned and glared at her. "I'm working!"After he finished speaking, he turned his head back to Sally and smiled respectfully. "Madam, the car is just over here."Sally felt her scalp tingling.The person that Ol' Joe had mentioned turned out to be Joan's father!Lively discussion immediately ensued, and Joan could not help but felt awkward about it.After a while, Joan ran up to bar Calvin’s way. "Dad, are you kidding me? You are the hotshot of A City! Why are you here being a driver for this b*tch?! Who is the man that’s backing her up? Dad, w
"I’m not a tea person... I don't think it tastes any different from water."The man smiled and took the teacup from her hand. He then poured another cup and drank it. "Do you have something that you want to tell me?"Sally frowned and said, "Please stop sending people to pick me up from school. I did some research on how to get home by bus. It is very convenient; I only need to change buses twice."Elijah raised his lips and said, "You think that your classmates will stop gossiping about you just because you go home by bus?"Sally was stunned. "You...you know about this?"However, once she gave it some thought, it made sense that he knew what was happening in her school, considering that he had the means to get Joan Lewis's father to pick her up. When she thought of that, she could not help but secretly glance at Elijah.Initially, she thought that she was married to a disabled person and had to constantly take care of him.However, it seemed that there was more to him than me
Sally worked in the kitchen for one and a half hours.As she served the last dish of the evening, she glanced at it with satisfaction before turning around and trotting over to Elijah. "I'm done. Would you like to eat it now or later?"The woman's sweet voice traveled into his ears, causing Elijah to lightly lift his thin lips. "Now.""Then I'll push you over."There was a hint of excitement in Sally's voice. "I've cooked my best dishes tonight. Try it and see if it's to your liking. Tell me what you like, and I can cook it for you every day!"As they talked, the wheelchair reached the dining table.She smiled as she handed him the spoon and fork but then found it inappropriate. "I forgot you can’t see... Why don't... I feed you?"Elijah glanced at her but said nothing.However, his hand obediently handed her the spoon and fork.After taking the spoon and fork, Sally carefully picked up the plate and then raised small piece of fish fillet to his mouth. "Open your mouth."The
