Engrossed in typing her reply to her students' email, Moriah didn't notice that Ethan had approached her and was standing before her. "Ahem," Ethan cleared his throat to attract her attention, he had been standing there for nearly one minute but she didn't notice him. Moriah lifted her head. She was mesmerized to see her husband's blue eyes like the vast ocean shimmering under the sunlight. Moriah blinked her eyes. Ethan sat beside her, handed her the bubble tea. "Bubble tea?" Moriah raised her eyebrow while she took the bubble tea from him.Ethan touched the tip of her nose. "I know you liked it, so I asked Cameron to buy it for you. And this blueberry cheesecake." Moriah looked at the blueberry cheesecake that was on top of the coffee table. She put down the bubble tea on the coffee table, then hugged him and nuzzled his neck. With a muffled voice she said, "Thank you, baby." Ethan smiled from ear to ear, he was so pleased that he made her happy. Moriah ceased hugging Ethan
Monday night Moriah looked at herself in the mirror. Her forefinger ran through to the infinity pendant she wore. The fact that her marriage was hanging in the balance because of Hazel's presence caused her to sigh repeatedly. “Sighing?” Ethan came near her and stood behind her, surveying her through the mirror. He turned her to face him. “What’s bothering you?” Moriah looked him in the eyes. “Nothing.” He glided his forefinger on her jaw. “Are you sure it’s nothing?” Moriah nodded. “We have to go. We shouldn’t be late.” On their way to the hotel, Ethan held her hand and didn’t let it go. He was observing his wife, she was pensively peering outside the car. Ethan leaned sideways and murmured. “A penny for your thoughts.” Moriah jerked her head when he suddenly spoke, breaking the silence. “I was quiet because I don’t have anything interesting to tell you.” Moriah knew better than to tell him what was in her mind, knowing where it would end. Having lost her parents recently, sh
Linda looked at him and smiled, the most beautiful man she had ever met. After her failed marriage with her first husband who cheated on her, she married Earnest. He is a loving and caring husband and was faithful to her not because of her money but because he truly loved her. He had loved her from the beginning, but was afraid to pursue her because they don’t belong in the same world. “Yes,” she hated to see cheating husbands, that's why she didn’t want any collaboration with Ethan at the thought that Ethan was cheating on his wife. Linda remembered the medical mission in Africa and her eyes lit up. “Moriah, I’m bringing a medical team to Africa for a one month medical mission. There are cases that need a specialist like you. Perhaps, you would be interested in joining.” “Thank you for inviting me to join; however, I can’t give you an answer right now Mrs Smith as I have to discuss it with my husband. I had just returned to the UK recently after teaching in a medical school in Sh
“Baby, I won’t be picking you. Something came up,” Ethan said. Moriah checked her wrist watch and her shift was about to end in 5 minutes. “Okay, take care,” she said. “Bye,” Ethan said and Moriah heard the disconnected tone after he said bye. She felt empty, it’s been a while since he said those words to her. He said it once, but never repeated it. Moriah hailed a taxi and went to a shopping mall. She wanted to eat something but couldn't figure out what it was, so she decided to go to a shopping mall to find out what she craves. She came into a pastry shop to see if she craves anything from there, but she went out after discovering she isn’t craving anything there. While looking at the shops she bumped into a couple. Moriah lost her balance and was about to fall backward when she was caught by a strong pair of arms. The man who caught her took her in his arms. Moriah was stunned to be embraced by a random guy. It took several seconds before she recovered from her shock when she lo
Moriah was baffled at her husband’s invitation. “A - are you sure, baby?” she stuttered. “Yes,” he gave her a peck on the lips, Moriah was stupefied, her eyes went wide and color suffused her face. “You taste sweet,” Ethan said mischievously, Moriah was wondering who Ethan was trying to rile up. Is it Shuan or her? Shaun’s gaze was fixed on Ethan and Moriah. He needed to see it, thinking that it would help him totally move on. Moriah looked at Shaun and was sad to see his pained expression. “Shaun, would you like to join us for dinner?” “Sure,” Shaun replied with his dashing smile. Moriah smiled seeing Shaun’s dashing smile, the smile he always gives her. However, that smile couldn’t outshine Ethan’s smile. “Love, finish your smoothie,” Ethan said, Moriah sipped on her smoothie. She lifted the smoothie near Ethan’s lips. Ethan leaned and sipped the smoothie through the straw. “It tastes like your mouth.” Moriah pinched Ethan’s side torso. He looked into his wife’s upturned face
Moriah kissed him on the cheek before getting out of the car.From the rearview mirror, the chauffeur caught sight of Ethan grinning from ear to ear. "Hey," Cindy said as Moriah hadn't noticed her standing at the door. Moriah cocked her head and saw Cindy smirking. "Thinking about your husband?""Yes," Moriah said, giggling. Cindy sat in a chair. She cupped her own face and propped her elbows on the table, staring at Moriah's glowing face. "I'm glad, you're happy," she said, but her voice was tinged with sadness which Moriah noticed. "Hey, why are you sad?" Staring at her friend with concern. "I'm not sad, I'm really happy for you," Cindy replied. "I know you're happy for me. What I'm trying to know is what makes you sad? Are you sad because of Zachary?" Cindy nodded her head while pouting her lips like a child. "What happened?" She asked and pulled her friend to sit on the couch. "Tell me," she said when they were both seated on the couch. "Zachary is meeting someone," Cin
Shaun and Moriah dined in silence. They had not talked until they were done with their meals. "Shaun, are you alright?" Moriah couldn't contain her worry towards him, seeing his gloomy eyes. They weren't the sparkling hazel eyes she used to see. "Moriah, I'm getting married," Shaun said. Moriah was stunned for a while and asked, "Why are you sad?" "I don't love her," Shaun said as his gaze never left her. Moriah knew what he meant. "Shaun, I told you, we can never go back to the past. I only love Ethan and even if he doesn't love me back. We still can't be together." Shaun looked down at his hand and smiled bitterly. "I know." "Why don't you give her a chance, you'll love her, after you get married," Moriah said. "Moriah, I want to tell you something. It has been a load in my heart that weighed me down," Shaun looked at Moriah. "Okay," Moriah wanted to help him unload any burden. "Remember, the weeks prior to our wedding?" Shaun asked and clenched his teeth, remembering how
"I haven't, sir," he answered and lowered his gaze as he was afraid to meet his boss's eyes. "Call, Matthew here," Ethan frantically barked his order, his voice echoed as he shouted. Ethan entered the mansion and called for George. Hearing Ethan bellowed his name he scurried toward him, wasting no time. “Sir?” "George, get a blanket," Ethan instructed, based on Ethan's tone George understood that it was an urgent matter so he hurriedly did as he was ordered. Matthew rushed into the mansion. "Sir?" "Gather the men to find my wife," he said, worry was all over his face. Immediately, Ethan came out from the mansion after George handed him the blanket.As they were headed to the woods, from afar, he spotted a woman coming out of the woods. He sighed in relief to see Moriah. His steps became urgent and walked faster. When he was near Moriah, Ethan covered her with the blanket and hugged her tightly.Moriah was puzzled to see Ethan with a worried look and there were a dozen men with
Moriah stared at her reflection in the mirror with a critical eye, tilting her head this way and that as she turned around to look at her butt. Ethan stepped into her line of sight, and she gave him a perturbed frown in the mirror. "Are you ready?" Ethan lovingly looked at Moriah, who was looking at herself in the mirror in displeasure. "You seemed to be disgusted with yourself.” "Why won't I be disgusted looking at myself when this kid made me look like an elephant," Moriah pouted as she complained, and he grinned, coming up behind her to wrap his arms around her. He could hardly fit them around her huge stomach. “You look beautiful and you know it,” he told her, dropping a kiss onto her shoulder. She turned around and looked at the man, the corner of his eyes crinkling attractively. He just got more gorgeous with age; the sprinkling of gray in his hair and the fine lines forming around his eyes and on his brow just added to his gorgeous looks. It was something she often complain
"It's good that you are all here," Moriah said when they were all seated on the couch. "I want to discuss something with you," Moriah said to them."What is it that you want to discuss with us?" Eu - meh asked and gaze at Ethan who lovingly stared at his wife. She thought that Moriah wanted her husband to be the CEO of the company and that's why she brought her husband with her. But, he already has his own empire. Are they going to merge Chen Enterprise to their empire? "I will go straight to the point as the shareholder meeting will start soon," Moriah said and her cousins nodded. They waited expectantly for her next words. "Thank you that you are willing to give me the inheritance grandpa left for me. The 50% share I inherited, I will give Lee, Haoyu, Eu - meh, 5% each, I will keep 10% of the share and the remaining 25% will be for Ting," said, smiling at her cousins who couldn't believe what they heard. "I gave Ting the largest portion as he is the CEO who kept this company movi
After having a two hours rest and letting Dillon and the triplets settle, Ethan and Moriah went to the hospital. "The twins are a mini version of Dylan and Serana, Raymond looks like Dylan while Shannon looks like Serena," Moriah said while looking at the twins sleeping soundly in the cradle. "I told you," Dylan said to Serena. "I look like my son," he was proud that his son looked like him. Serena giggled, looking at the smug face of Dylan. "Okay, you're right," she said, raising both of her hands. "By the way, how was your MRI scan?" Dylan asked Ethan, Moriah called him the day before Ethan's MRI scans. "No, more blood clot," Ethan said, full of smiles. "That's great news! We have a lot of things to celebrate," Dylan patted Ethan's shoulders, he was pleased that Ethan got healed. He was so worried for Moriah and his nephews and nieces when he learned that Ethan had a blood clot. Of course, he also felt bad for Ethan. He came to love him as his brother in law. Ethan and Moriah
After Ethan’s message, images of their wedding flashed on the screen, afterwards photos of them in Shanghai, their family pictures and many photos of her and Ethan together. She couldn’t help but smile as she watched the photos of their four year marriage. Moriah blushed when a video of their lovemaking came after the still images. “Ethan!” she pinched his side torso. Ethan roared in laughter. “You’re so mean,” It dawned on her that it’s the reason he told her to watch alone in their room. “I'm not mean," he said, still trying to stop himself from laughing. He went on after he stopped laughing. " If ever I forget you and watch how I make love with you, at least it gives me proof that I truly adore you and that we truly love each other. Look, we are not only having s*x but what we were doing was expressing our love for each other. It wasn’t lust that moved our bodies, but love,” Ethan explained to his bashful wife. Moriah stared at the screen. She studied the way their hands care
Moriah looked at him with her bright smile that he loves to look at, which made the little annoyance completely vanish. "I love you, Mr Ethan Miller!" "I love you, too Mrs Moriah Miller," Ethan chuckled, tilting his head, rubbing the tip of his nose against the tip of her nose. Moriah pulled away from him and put the flowers on the couch. It was only then that she noticed the floor with rose petals. She giggled. "Now, I know that you are capable of doing romantic things to pursue a woman." "And that woman is you," Ethan snaked his arm around her waist and drew her near to him, closing the gap between them. Ethan didn’t let the night pass by without showing his love to her. He savored the moment to hold her close to him as their bodies tangled. The day of his surgery had finally arrived. Before Ethan was wheeled into the operating theater, he whispered something to Moriah. “See you soon, love,” Moriah smiled brightly at him. Moriah, Fiona and Brandon sat on the bench outside the
The following morning after they arrived at the countryside estate where they got married, they went for a walk in the woods."Baby, let's go back," Moriah said when they were half a mile away from the house. "Let's take a picture first," Ethan pulled up his iPhone to capture their moment."Look at me, love," Ethan whispered in her ear. Ethan titled his head and captured her lips when she turned her head towards him. Moriah had not refused him, but kissed him back while she wrapped her arms around his waist. Ethan held the back of her head and kissed her deeply. While his other hand lifted his phone, recording their moment. Everyday they would walk leisurely around the estate to relax. The estate had so much beautiful scenery that Ethan had not explored yet as he had been working hard for the years and rarely had time to relax. Dr. Houston, instructed Moriah to convince Ethan to have a vacation and time to relax before the surgery. It was imperative that Ethan have a sound mind
"Let me take you to the couch," Ethan broke the silence after a long while. "No, I can do it," she's a doctor and had an idea what was going on with his body. Moriah sat next to him. She placed her feet on the couch and hugged her knees. She waited for him to speak."I have a blood clot in the brain," Ethan said, his voice trembling. Moriah was still stupefied despite having an impression that his physical condition wasn't good. "Why are you divorcing me then?" Moriah broke down and sobbed. "I refused to have a surgery because of the risk of losing my memory. I would rather die remembering you than to live forgetting you. To forget you is worse than death," Ethan replied, tears escaping his rims. The reason he allowed Harry to pursue Moriah was so she would fall in love with him and it wouldn't be hard for her when he dies. Although it was difficult to let her go, he can't be selfish and leave her without someone who would love and take care of her. And Harry was the right man w
Slowly she opened it. Her hands shook violently as she read the content. Tears kept streaming down her cheeks like a river. Her chest rose and fell, as she tried to contain the waves of emotions inside her chest. "I don't need your money, all I want are the kids," she was surprised that she managed to speak calmly, she couldn't believe that it was her who spoke. Ethan was about to speak but she raised her hand, beckoning him to be silent. "I can take care of the children. I'm a surgeon, with my income, I can give them a decent life. I have a dowry that is worth millions of pounds. My cousin called me two days ago saying that they were going to give me my inheritance and my parents left me a large amount of money. Plus, I have mum, dad and Dylan. We don't need your money," Moriah was breathless after she spoke without pause. She panted as tears kept flowing. Moriah already regained her memory however she didn't tell him as he was so busy and had no time for her. Ethan's face darkene
Moriah was excited to clock out as there will be a simple celebration in the mansion for the triplets who are now three months old.When her shift ended, she hurriedly went out of her office. She was surprised to see Ethan outside waiting for her."Love, you're here to pick me up?" Moriah was high in spirit that Ethan came to pick her up. He had been so busy and had no time for her over the month.Thankfully, she was occupied taking care of Dillon and the triplets, so she had no time to have a pity party, though she was hurting.Ethan didn't say anything and just started walking. Moriah just shrugged her shoulders, she became used to his mood swings. There were times that he would be warm to her and then shift back to becoming distan
