"Mom, Dad, Dylan and Serena will be arriving in a while," Moriah said while she was tying Ethan's tie.

Moriah was able to persuade the Wangs to stay with them. The Wangs' estate was one hour drive to their state so it would be difficult for them to travel daily just to see her and Dillon.

"I might not be here when they arrive," Ethan said apologetically.

He was rather grateful to them that they cared for her and Dillion when Moriah ran away from him.

Moriah cupped his face. "Don't worry, they know that you're busy and understand it."

Moriah already told the Wangs that Ethan could not leave her and Dillion, but would be at ease to leave for work when they're around.

Moriah helped him put on his suit. "You're ready to go."

Both of them went down, hand in hand they went out to the courtyard. Matthew and the other bodyguards were already waiting for him.

Ethan leaned sideways, at once Moriah understood his gesture and stood on her toes and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

    "Moriah?," Ethan called, everyone in the living, simultaneously turned their heads towards Ethan. "Baby, you're back," Moriah smiled brightly and hurriedly walked to him. She hugged him once she was close by and sniffed his perfume. "Did you miss me?" Ethan asked as he stroked her back. "Mm," Moriah nodded incessantly. Ethan kissed her forehead and steered her towards Dillon. "When did you arrive?" Ethan asked Shaun.Stunned and happy at the same time, Moriah looked at Ethan with wide eyes. The Wangs knew the story about Shaun and Moriah and how she got married to Ethan were equally flabbergasted to see that Ethan was no longer hostile to Shaun. "I arrived yesterday, Zachary told me that Moriah gave birth so I came to visit," Shaun said, smiled and looked at Dillon, then he looked back at Ethan. "Congratulations, buddy." Ethan grinned. The atmosphere in the dining table was utterly harmonious and lively. There were some bantering and laughter while they were having their meal

    Time flies so fast, Dillon was already 6 months old and Moriah decided to go back to work. While Moriah was getting ready for work, Ethan came behind her and engulfed her in his arms. "Are you really going back to work now?" He was uneasy that Dillon would be left to the nannies. Moriah gently patted his arm and jokingly said. "I have to work so I can buy milk and nappies." "His dad could buy him truck loads of milk and nappies," Ethan chuckled, he knew that Moriah wanted to go back to work not for money but because she misses her work. Being one of the best trauma and orthopaedic surgeons in the UK, it's a shame if she just simply stays home. Hence, he has no choice but to allow her to go back to work. While they were in the car, Ethan held Moriah in his arms. "Your shirt will get crumpled," Moriah said as she didn't want him to look disheveled before he even started working. What would the employees say if their CEO comes to the company with a crumpled shirt? "Just let me h

    Moriah walked faster and one of the men was quicker and grabbed her arm. She turned and quickly grabbed his hand and broke his wrist, then kicked his groin, sending him to the ground. Moriah faced the other two men and one by one sent them to the ground. They ran away when they saw men coming towards them. The bodyguards saw everything and admired Moriah. One of the bodyguards saw someone taking a video and spoke to him to give him the copy of the video. "Give the copy to me and erase your copy. Don't ever think of uploading it on the internet if you don't want a lawsuit," seeing the bodyguard's threatening figure, the man gave a copy to him before he deleted his own copy. He smiled and thought of sending the video to Matthew. "Madam, are you okay?" A bodyguard asked her. "Yes, I'm fine," Moriah said and walked towards the car. Moriah already guessed that Ethan would give an earful to these bodyguards if he comes to know what happened, so she made up her mind not to tell him.

    "Madam, after watching the video several times, I could say that they weren't there to rob but to abduct you. The mastermind must have thought that you are just a frail woman so they never thought of hiring hard core thugs to kidnap you," Matthew observed that the three men had no fighting skills so it was just easy for Moriah to overpower them. "But if they were hard core thugs with fighting skills, your self defense will be of no use, they could easily subdue you," Matthew added. It wasn't Matthew's intention to frighten her but he has to tell her the truth so she wouldn't be reckless. What Matthew said resulted in Moriah to draw her body closer to Ethan. What if they succeeded in their plan? She trembled at the possible things that would happen to her. It would be hard for Ethan and Dillon. Ethan looked down at Moriah and embraced her. Somewhere in London “You’re an idiot!” he said while he kicked a man. “I told you, she has a bodyguard with her and what did you do? You hired

    Moriah ran her fingers through Ethan's hair. "Baby, it's almost 7 in the morning." Ethan grabbed her hand and planted kisses on her palm. "It's your day off today.""Oh, I see," Moriah forgot that it was her day off today and was surprised that Ethan hadn't forgotten her schedule. Ethan held her in his arms for a while before getting up. He bent forward to pick her up in his arms and carried her to the bathroom. "Matthew will pick you up at 11 am," Ethan said while Moriah was scrubbing his back. "Alright, can I bring Dillon with me?" Ethan turned to face her. "Some other time. I want to have lunch with you alone." Moriah didn't question him. She knew that he wanted to spend time with her alone. When a husband and wife spend quality time together, it'll make their relationship stronger. The stronger the parents' relationship is, a child will feel more secure and assured. Just like what she saw in her parents. She felt secure and assured as she saw how her parents love each other

    Moriah held her breath and refrained from moving, not wanting to disturb the father and son’s time. "I'm glad that your mum didn't think of aborting you and fought for you. You and your mum are the most beautiful thing that happened in my life," Ethan said and kissed Dillon's tiny hand. Ethan wouldn't kiss Dillon on the face afraid that he would have rashes, though he shaves every day he still wants to make sure he won't have rashes. Hence, he only kisses his hands or his feet. Moriah sniffed and suppressed her tears. A few seconds later, she swallowed and said, "You're here." Ethan jerked his head in surprise. "How long have you been there?" "Why are you here? I thought Matthew would pick me up? " Moriah veered around not intending to answer his question. She didn't want him to know that she heard what he told Dillon. It's their bonding as father and son and she had no heart to destroy their precious moment. "Seeing the video you sent me, I couldn't help but want to see our son

    Ethan exploded and sprang from his seat, causing the chair to fall backward. Moriah was frightened at the sudden outburst of anger, stood up and walked over to Ethan. "Baby, calm down." Matthew, who heard the commotion inside, hurriedly came in. "Sir, is there anything wrong?" "Tell the manager to come here," Ethan barked, his anger heightened as Mandy was not even remorseful and hadn’t stopped giving a suggestive smile. Moriah could tell that there was something wrong with Mandy. Instead of getting mad at her, she felt pity for her. "Sir?" The manager said, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. "I brought my wife here believing that this place is perfect for our date," Ethan spoke coldly causing the manager to tremble. The manager thought that if he pissed off Ethan he would lose his job. "I'm sorry, sir. May I know what happened?" "From what I gathered this restaurant is a decent and reputable restaurant, but why do you have a server who acts like she was working in a

Did you like my surprise?” Moriah looked up and nodded nonstop while she gave him her bright smile. The staff from the HR department were looking at each other, they heard and saw how their CEO and his wife are very much in love with each other.

    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?"

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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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.
