Caught off guard by the sudden kiss, Moriah's mind went haywire. Her mind was clouded that she was unable to think what to do.

His kiss was gentle and enticing all at the same time. It wasn't long before he persuaded Moriah to kiss him back.

Ethan lifted her hands and let them wrap around his neck, he then grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to him to close the distance between them.

Moriah snapped back out of her daze, unwound her arms from his neck and struggled to avoid his passionate kiss. However, Ethan wouldn't let her go.

"Ethan, stop it," she pushed his chest.

Finally, Ethan regained his rationale even though he was close to losing it. He stopped and moved his lips to her face. He seemed a bit lost and his breathing labored. "I miss you, love."

Despite her being with him physically, the fact that Moriah couldn't remember their relationship, Ethan felt that they're thousands of miles away.

Moriah felt a sting in her heart seeing his sad countenance. "Please, give me e

    Ethan held Moriah's hand and guided her to the stairs, she felt as though her foot weighed a hundred pounds each as they walked towards their bedroom. "We take a shower first before going to our son as we just came from the hospital," Ethan steered her to the bathroom. Moriah stood frozen when she was inside the bathroom with Ethan. "E - Ethan… a - are we going to have a shower together?" Her stuttering clearly told him that she wasn't comfortable with the idea. If it was before she lost her memory, he was certain that he could change her mind. But, with her current condition, he had no choice but to stifle his desire. After they had taken a shower separately, Ethan took her to the nursery room. The moment she heard Dillon call Ethan, 'Da, da' her heart skipped a beat. The child's voice was like music to her ears. The nanny came out of the room when Ethan and Moriah came into the room. "Son," Ethan Dillon in his arms, joy welling up his heart. Once again, they're complete. After

    Sadness flickered in Ethan’s eyes and was quiet for a few seconds. Moriah saw his sadness, she was jittery that Ethan was quiet and contemplating. “I’ll use the couch, you sleep on the bed,” though the mansion has so many spare rooms he can’t use any of them not wanting to create a rumor. The servant would talk about it when they learned that he slept in another room. “No, you won’t be comfortable there. I’ll use the couch,” Moriah insisted. “Do you think, I will allow you to stay on the couch,” how could he let his beloved wife on the couch? And now that she is carrying their second child, will he have the heart to see her sleep on the couch overnight? He wanted to tease her that they sleep on the same bed so he would be comfortable, but decided against it, knowing that she was jittery. “Go and sleep,” he brushed his knuckles on her cheek. Moriah sauntered towards the bed and slipped under the duvet. Due to pregnancy, Moriah fell asleep in no time. In the dead of night, Moriah w

    Moriah woke up in the wee hours and was baffled to see Ethan sleeping on the couch. She was confused. Last night he was saddened that she was unwilling to sleep on the same bed with him. But, when she told him that it's okay to sleep in one bed, he still slept on the couch. What's the matter with this man? She tiptoed and covered him with a blanket and went back to sleep. The following morning she woke up, Ethan was no longer in the room. She had a shower and went into the nursery room thinking that he was there for Dillon. Dismay filled her heart when she didn't see Ethan, instead a nanny was taking care of Dillon. "Where's my husband?" Moriah asked the nanny. "Sir, went to the company early in the morning," the nanny told Moriah while she changed Dillon's nappy. "What's your name?" She asked the nanny. The nanny was surprised that Moriah asked her name. She had been one of Dillon's nannies. She and Nora look after Dillon. "Lily, madam," she smiled stiffly. She had no idea th

    Moriah's felt as though her heart was being wrung out. "Okay, I'll hang up now," not giving him a chance to respond she ended the call. Moriah looked at the family photo on her phone. Ethan set it as her wallpaper. The joy radiating on their faces is undeniable. It was clear that they were happy and in love with each other. What went wrong? What caused this sudden shift in his attitude towards her? Moriah racked her brain to find an answer, but she couldn't figure out the answer. Moriah called George to prepare her a light meal and send it over to her. She revealed to George that she was pregnant and had to eat something that she won't throw up. George was delighted with the news. An hour later, George personally went to the hospital to bring her lunch. "Madam, eat it. It's good for you and the baby," George couldn't contain the happiness he felt. The mansion will become livier as a new child will be added to the family. "Thanks uncle George, you can head back home," Moriah said

    Moriah panicked and averted her gaze from him. She wondered if Ethan heard what she told Dillon just now. Her face started to heat up. When Moriah was rinsing Dillon, Ethan took the towel seated on the bench next to Moriah and spread it. Moriah picked Dillon and passed him to Ethan and he wrapped Dillon with a towel. Ethan walked out of the bathroom, Moriah hot on his heels. "Thank you, I'll take care of it. You can go and resume your work," she said when Ethan placed Dillon on the crib. "I'll take care of him, go and change your clothes. You might catch a cold," Ethan said while he applied moisturizer on Dillon's skin. Moriah looked at herself, she wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. Her shirt got wet and became see-through. It clung to her breast, good thing she wore a bra, however, she still looked like a seductress. She took the towel and draped it on her shoulder and covered her chest. Moriah hurried into their room and changed. Afterwards, she went to the bed and took t

    Ethan left the following morning while Moriah was fast asleep. Moriah was saddened that he left while she was asleep. Days went by, then it turned to weeks. Ethan was away for almost two months now. He rarely made a call. Moriah was busy perusing a patient's medical file when Cindy barged into her office. "Do you have any idea who your patient was?" Cindy asked her once she entered Moriah's office, not bothering to say an overture. "Who are you referring to? I got so many patients," Moriah replied with her eyebrows knitted together. "This," Cindy showed her phone to her. "The famous football player Harry Williams." Moriah looked at the photo and recognized him. "So what's the problem about it? Having a famous patient?" Moriah wasn't fond of sports, hence she doesn't know that Harry is a famous football player. She deduced that Harry was injured while he's playing football. "He posted on his social media account. Cindy searched the post and showed it to Moriah. In the post was

    "Dr Miller, do you need anything?" Moriah's secretary said. "Please, give me Harry Williams' phone number," Moriah said. "Okay," the secretary left and was back after two good minutes. Moriah dialled the number. Her call was answered after a few rings. She heard laughter coming from the other end of the line. "Hello, who's this?" Moriah heard a magnetic voice. "It's Dr Miller," Moriah replied. In an instant the laughter stopped and silence prevailed as if they stop breathing all together. "Hi, Moriah, is something the matter?" Harry asked. The way her name rolled in his tongue sounded intimate. Moriah frowned. "Are you available tonight? Can I meet you to discuss something with you? It's very important." She couldn't tell him on the phone so she chose to talk to him in person. "Yes, I am, actually I'm with my friends now. You can come over, I'll send you the address," Harry said, his heart bursting with joy. "No, I can't, I'm on my shift until 6 in the evening," Moriah said

    The next morning, when Moriah showed up in the hospital. The reporters who had been waiting for her swarmed around her the moment she disembarked from the car. They blocked her path and fired questions at her. Her chauffeur couldn’t do anything as the reporters were adamant to get something they could write. "Dr Miller, are you and Mr Miller divorced?" Moriah was shocked at the question and froze. "No, we aren't," she answered while shaking her head after she recollected herself. "Are you and Harry Williams in a relationship?" Another reporter asked, making her grit her teeth in anger. "No, we aren't," Moriah replied and tried to walk away but she was blocked. "Why did you have dinner with him?" A lady reporter asked with an obvious malice that laced her tone. Moriah didn't answer her. "Please, excuse me. I have to attend to my patients and stop blocking my way," Moriah said with a stern voice, her jaw was set, exuding an imposing aura gone was her sweet demeanor. The reporters

    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.

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.
