2024-10-29 19:42:56The cab had been waiting for them when Ethan and Moriah came out of the elevator.
Upon seating at the rear passenger seat the cab began moving.
Ethan held Moriah's hand. "Are you okay?"
"Yes, I am," she replied, however, her eyes were on the road.
"Why aren't you looking at me?" Since this morning, after breakfast, Moriah's mood drastically changed. She was a tad distant and cold.
Moriah looked at him with a faint smile written on her face.
Ethan used both of his hands to hold Moriah's tiny face. "If something is eating you up, talk to me, okay?"
Moriah nodded her head. "Okay."

Moriah absent-mindedly entered their room and didn't notice Ethan, smiling at her. Ethan frowned when he was ignored by Moriah. She went into the bathroom and took a shower.

He settled for the latter and kept on working on his MacBook. It was already midnight when Ethan decided to join Moriah on the bed. He slid under the cover and took Moriah in his arms. He was surprised when Moriah rolled and faced him wide awake. Her green eyes were sparkling, captivating the man. "You're still awake," he tilted his head to taste his wife's inviting lips. "Mm," Moriah hummed on his lips. "Did you wait for me?" Ethan spoke while he busily peppered her face, neck and shoulder with light kisses.

Ethan carried Moriah in his arms to have a shower together. They heard a knock on the door just as they finished dressing up. Wordlessly, Moriah went to open the door. “Sorry to disturb you, lovey doveys, lunch is ready,” Cindy said, her eyes dancing with mischief. Moriah rolled her eyes and snorted. “We’ll be there right away, ma’am.” Cindy left while chuckling. “Hubby, let’s go,” Moriah tugged Ethan’s arm, but Ethan didn’t move. Moriah looked at him inquisitively, “What’s up?” “I want a kiss,” Ethan demanded, Moriah couldn’t help but chuckle. She really can’t believe that a man as cold and aloof as an iceberg will melt one day. She came near him and wound her arms around his slim waist. “Hubby, tell me. Did I really melt the ice?” Ethan looked intently at her before answering her, “Yes, your warmth did it.” Moriah’s heart breamed with immense joy and tiptoed. She pressed her lips on his and pulled herself away from him. “Come on, they’re waiting for us.” Ethan felt empty wh

I'll see if there's any presidential suite available," replied the receptionist, blushing profusely. Moriah could not resist smiling at the way her husband was affecting the receptionist. Ethan lifted his arm and possessively wound it around Moriah’s shoulder. “How long will you be staying, sir?” the receptionist asked after confirming that there’s an available presidential suite. “We’ll stay till the third of January,” Ethan said, Moriah looked up at Ethan in disbelief. She never thought that he intended for them to stay that long in the hotel. All she knew was that he just wanted to spend the night alone with her. If he indeed stayed until then, it would be the longest time they were together since they got married. A smile made its way to Moriah’s f

“Wife, you are too serious, I was just teasing you,” he said while he chuckled. Moriah wanted to pretend to be offended, however a smile made its way to her face and Ethan, whose gaze never strayed from her, was quick to see it. “That smile,” he said. “I like it,” he leaned forward for another kiss, but the elevator stopped and opened. He muttered under his breath. “Bad timing.” Moriah stepped out of the elevator and in haste she went to their suite. She tapped the keycard on the sensor and opened the door. She immediately strode to where the phone was situated and looked at the menu. “Hubby, what do you want for dinner?” she asked while she covered the mouthpiece. “Anything will do,” Ethan wasn’t a picky eater and he doesn’t have any food allergy. Their food arrived thirty minutes after Moriah called for room service. While they were having their dessert, Moriah suddenly remembered that she was going to teach after the weekend.

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 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.

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.

"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.
