As Moriah and Ethan were at the HR department, Cameron came in carrying Dillon in his arms.

Moriah looked at Ethan, ecstatic at his surprise, she forgot about the people around them and hugged him. “Baby, you’re always full of surprises!”

Ethan smiled lovingly at Moriah and kissed her forehead. “I won’t run out of ideas on how to surprise my beloved woman. 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. The rumor that Ethan loves his mistress and not his wife originated in their department. The action of Ethan and Moriah put an end to their wagging tongues.

Taking Moriah to tour around the company was Ethan’s plan so he would put an end to the rumors. Reprimanding them or using his position to sanction them wasn’t the best option because it won’t stop the rumor.

    Ethan clenched his fist. Time and again, his brother plotted against him. He didn’t take any action against him for their father’s sake.

After giving a full account of his investigation, Ethan told him not to lose track of his brother's whereabouts and activities.

He was holding back for so many years just to give him a chance to turn around but he exhausted his patience. Moriah stood rooted to her spot as she heard how Ethan enunciated every word with so much suppressed anger. He had seen Ethan get angry at her and other people, but at this moment he seemed to be different. It was like a simmering anger that was about to be tipped ove

    Moriah couldn’t help but chuckle at what she heard. On the contrary, Ethan was fuming.Since it was time for the employees to clock out. Many heard what Mandy said and shook their heads. They were discussing amongst themselves in a low voice lest their CEO will hear them. “Is she telling the truth?” “I don’t think so, she looks like a mad woman to me.” “Maybe she went mad because she was ditched.” “I couldn’t agree more.” “I beg to differ. It looks like sir, doesn’t know her at all. She might be one of the many women who have a crush on him and become obsessed.” “You’ve got a point there.” “Look at her, she’s gone crazy.” They all looked at Mandy who was uncontrollably laughing at crying at the same time. Her exquisite make up was ruined by her snots. “Tsk tsk, she’s obsessed.” “She shouldn’t have desired what’s beyond her reach.” “Did you see how Mr Miller lovingly looked at his wife when he toured her around the company?” They started to talk about what they witnessed a w

    Ethan was speechless and thick silence prevailed for several seconds. Though she couldn't see her husband, Moriah sensed the apprehension of Ethan.“Baby, she’s asking you to have a photo together,” Moriah said calmly when Ethan went silent for several seconds.“Baby,” Ethan said, his voice slightly shaky. He was scared that Moriah misunderstood something. “Are you angry?” “Hubby, what kind of question is that?” Moriah giggled and went on. “I trust you. And why would you call me if you are on a date? ” After all that she learned about the past and how profound and deep is his love for her, she never once doubted him and completely trusted him. Ethan breathed in relief after hearing her word of assurance. “Mr Miller, can we have a photo together?” the woman repeated when Ethan didn’t answer her, thinking that he didn’t hear her. Ethan looked at her without expression in his face. “No, I’m talking to my wife,” Ethan rejected, his outright refusal made the woman frown. Being reje

    Pia sized Moriah up and looked at her from head to toe. It wasn’t long before Moriah recollected herself. If Ethan remained taciturn and had not explained to her, Pia’s appearance would have given a fatal blow to their marriage. Moriah burst into fits of laughter that bewildered Pia. “How could my husband have a child with a woman who he had not touched?” Moriah said as she laughed and held her belly. “This is a funny prank.” “You!” Pia got up and lifted her hand to slap Moriah, but the bodyguard was quick to grab her hand. Moriah found it funny. She was thinking how many women would come knocking at her door and claim to be Ethan’s lover. “Alright, cut some strands of the boy's hair,” Moriah ordered the bodyguards, which was carried out immediately. “You, what are you doing to my baby? Stop it,” Pia can’t do anything as a bodyguard held her shoulders, pushed her down to sit on the couch and restrained her.“I will sue you!” Pia screamed, her eyes were bloodshot. “Alright, I w

    Matthew and the other bodyguards dared not to watch their bosses and turned, their backs facing the couple. However, they could not help but chuckle as they heard Moriah giggle. Never they had imagined that they would one day see a playful side of their aloof and cold boss. “I can’t reach your forehead, crouch down a little bit,” Moriah said while giggling. Ethan obeyed while he cackled. Moriah laughed as she flicked Ethan’s forehead. Ethan hugged her hips and lifted her up. “Ethan, put me down,” Moriah yelped while she squirmed out of his hold but Ethan wouldn’t release her. “I’ll flick your forehead again if you don’t put me down,” Moriah threatened him, nonetheless her voice sounded playful. “Okay, flick it if you want,” Ethan said, looking up at her. Seeing that his forehead was slightly red, she realized that she must have flicked hard and didn't have the heart to flick his forehead again. Moriah pouted. “Do you think I could do it again? Please, put me down, baby, please.

    Being with him daily for half a year, she was now used to seeing him everyday. The thought of being separated from him was unbearable. Failing to control the chaos inside her chest, she burst into tears. Ethan took her in his arms, his face full of helplessness. He couldn't do anything but to relent. "Alright, stop crying, you're not going anywhere." Moriah embraced him tightly. "Promise me, you'll never send us away," she said in between her sobs. "Promise," he said tenderly while he gently patted her back to coax her to stop crying.Trusting him to keep his promise, immediately she stopped crying and said not nothing. Several minutes after she stopped crying, Ethan felt that her hold gradually loosened. Tilting his head to look at the woman in his arms, looking at her upturned face, he felt tightness in his chest to see that her beautiful face had a frown while she slept. It was just an indication that she was truly distressed. He caressed her face and whispered. "I won't fa

    Agitated, Moriah bolted from her seat. She hugged her petite frame and walked towards the floor to ceiling window. She mulled on how stupid her move was and scolded herself for being careless. To give her some space to think, Ethan hadn’t followed her and simply watched her. In under five minutes, Moriah turned to look at him and approached him. “Baby, I’m going to delete the video now,” she said while picking her phone. Ethan held her wrist. “Don’t do it. It’ll have a negative impact on you if you do that. People will think that you deleted the video because you got a scolding from me.” Moriah looked at him with puppy eyes. “But, can we not have the interview?” “Why?” With the ruckus raised by Mandy, Ethan thought that it's best for them to have the interview. Ethan was used to being misunderstood by people, nevertheless, he won’t allow people to misjudge Moriah. “I hate being in the limelight… I just want to live a quiet life, away from public scrutiny,” she said while she fi

    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

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 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.

"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.

    "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.
