Moriah was speechless, she couldn’t answer him and just chuckled.

“Dylan, do you really want to marry or you just wanted to please your mom?” It was Anastacia who had spoken, she didn’t hold back as she wanted to help him see things clearly.

“Honestly, I’ve never had a relationship with any woman, romantically speaking… and even a platonic relationship. I knew nothing about it,” he stopped and thought for a while. “I only want to marry now because my mom wants me to marry and have children.” he answered with all honesty because he felt close to the Chens and trusted them.

“May I ask something?” Jiany spoke after listening to Dylan.

“Yes, uncle,” Dylan replied.

“What do you think about divorce?” Jianyu asked Dylan, watching his reaction to his question.

A frown appeared on his face, forming creases between his eyebrows. It didn’t take him long to understand Jianyu’s point.

“Thank you, uncle and aunty for enlightening me,” he smiled from ear to ear.

Moriah giggled, Dylan looked

    She lazily went into the bathroom and had a shower. Her tears mingled with the pouring water from the shower head. She was trying to shake off the dream from her memory, but she couldn’t do it. He didn’t want to divorce her and at the same time he wanted to keep Hazel. She loathes herself for falling in love with him and allowing herself to be lost on him. She had no class today and had no plan on going out so she just put on a simple shirt and baggy pants. She took a book to read and plonk herself onto the couch facing the floor to ceiling wall overlooking the sea. She stared at the sea and lost in her thoughts when her phone rang. She stood up abruptly and darted to get her phone, thinking that it was Ethan, who was calling, but to her dismay, it was Shaun who was calling. She took a deep breath and answered the phone call. “Hi, Shaun!” “Moriah, I’m in Shanghai now,” Shaun excitedly said. Despite her dismay that it wasn’t Ethan, who had called, Moriah smiled. She remembered Sha

    Ethan walked towards them in large strides and shoved his fist in Shaun’s face as soon as he came close to them. Moriah was shocked and petrified, she approached Shaun. She cried seeing the blood trickled on his face. “Shaun, are you alright?” She helped Shaun get up. Ethan’s chest was a cauldron of roiling emotions. He flew from London to Shanghai only to find out that she was spending time with her ex - fiance. “No!” Moriah screamed when Ethan was about to punch him again. Moriah shielded Shaun from his attack so he couldn't vent his anger on him. “Shaun, let’s go. I have to treat your injury,” Moriah said and tugged Shaun’s arm and didn’t cast Ethan a glance. Ethan followed them, his anger now mixed with dejection. Jianyu and Anastacia were equally nonplussed when they saw Moriah tugging Shaun inside the apartment and Ethan followed them. “Why is he here?” Jianyu spoke coldly, he lost his composure seeing Shaun, on the contrary, Anastacia caressed his arm to soothe him. “Ba

    “I think I have to take a pain reliever,” Shaun said and winced. Moriah held Ethan’s hand and she pulled him towards the kitchen. She was afraid that they would grapple if she left them alone. “Lovey dovey,” Anastacia teased them as they entered the kitchen. “I’m just holding his hand so he won’t hurt Shaun,” Moriah pouted her lips, she let go of Ethan’s hand and poured water in the glass. “You tended to Shaun's injury and yet you didn’t even look at your husband’s hand. He was also hurt,” although there was no trace of rebuke in her mother's tone, Moriah flinched visibly.She looked at Ethan and her gaze went to his right hand, he was right handed obviously he used his right hand to punch Shaun. There was a bruise on his knuckles. Ethan hid his hand in the pocket of his trousers. She placed the cup of water on the table. And came closer to him. “Let me see your hand.” Ethan was unwilling to show his hand. She sighed and turned away from him and then took the cup of water. Sh

    "There you are, let's go and eat. The food is getting cold," Jianyu said, once he spotted them entering the apartment. Moriah put food on Ethan's plate. When he wasn't eating, she fed him. Jianyu and Anastacia looked at each other, delighted that Moriah is deeply in love with her husband and that Shaun's appearance didn't change what she felt for her husband. Moriah and Ethan went to their room when dinner was over. "Let me take a look at your hand," Moriah said when Ethan closed the door behind him. "It's nothing," he said, shrugging his suit. Moriah helped him take off his suit and hung it. She also loosened his tie. Subsequently, she unbuttoned his shirt slowly revealing his lean chiseled torso. Her face heated up and was fused with color as she undressed him. She turned around abruptly the moment she took off his shirt so she could conceal her flushed face. Taking two steps away, she was abruptly pulled back, Ethan took a hold of her from behind. She felt the thudding of h

    Moriah looked up once she felt the bed sloped downward. "Wifey," Ethan uttered, and caressed her face. Moriah suddenly got up and hugged his neck and sobbed. "I thought you left," she said in bouts of sobs."I won't leave, don't cry," he said, soothing her. "Moriah, love…" Ethan murmured, Moriah looked up to him, expectantly waiting for his next words. Ethan couldn't continue. He wanted to give her assurance that he won't leave her as he did whenever they had a fight. But, he can't tell it as he himself doubts his ability to keep it. What if he had promised her again and couldn't keep it? At a loss what to say, Ethan tilted his head down to kiss away the tears in her eyes. In her daze, Moriah didn't remember when she and Ethan began kissing passionately. The thing she was sure of was that the passion in them was rapidly spreading like a wildfire. "Ethan," Moriah sobbed his name in the thick of passion and pleasure. "Moriah, baby," Ethan responded to her and a groan of pleasu

    "I don't know," she replied. Speaking of being wooed, Shaun sought her affection by accepting her despite her being a Poindexter. And when it comes to Ethan, she couldn't understand what made her fall in love with him.He was a jerk. A cold and uncaring man. He wasn't the ideal man, nonetheless, he still managed to have her heart. Not wanting to screw up their holiday, Ethan opted to drop the subject and pursue it no more. He pulled her closer to him and tilted his head, brushing her lips with his. “Ethan, can you please stop showing your affection in public,” Moriah said while she pulled away from him. “Sorry, I can’t help it,” Ethan answered and held her hand. During the flight, all but Moriah talked about business. She got bored and yawned. “Are you sleepy?” Ethan murmured in her ears. “Mm,” she answered and yawned again. “Sleep,” Ethan wound his arm around her shoulder and moved closer to her so she could lean her body on him.

    Moriah looked at him, tears kept flowing from her eyes. “Why don’t you want to have a child?” “I’m not ready to have a child,” Ethan said and sat on the couch near the French window. “Why?” Moriah wanted to know his reason. “Let’s not talk about it, Moriah,” Ethan said in a curt tone. Moriah concluded that his unwillingness to discuss his reason was that he just didn’t want to have a child with her. He is a man and can’t help but touch her whenever he feels a need, he just sees her as fulfilling his carnal needs but has no plan to have a child with her. Moriah held her chest, as a past bearable pain swept into her heart. Within a minute, she stopped crying, and with her palm, she dried her tear streaked face. She entered the bathroom and washed her face, brushed her hair and left the room afterwards, leaving Ethan in the room. After a while, Moriah’s phone rang. Ethan fished out her phone and looked at the screen to check who the caller was. His stoic face turned grim when he sa

    The conversation wasn’t the typical conversation he had with Cameron. If it wasn’t his parents who had called, then it would certainly be Hazel, who he was talking over the phone. “Sure, we’ll have dinner when I come back. Take care of yourself and don’t get sick,” Ethan said, Moriah’s heart sunk. Ethan was taken aback to see Moriah when he swiveled on his feet. It wasn’t long before he spoke. “How long have you been here?” Moriah gulped and calmed herself down so she could speak normally. “Not that long, who was that?” She shivered and hugged her torso as coldness was beginning to saturate her. It was the coldness in her heart that made her tremble. Ethan shrugged his suit and draped it on her shoulder. Moriah felt the heat that lingered in his suit nevertheless it did nothing to warm her cold heart. His answer was long in coming, Moriah patiently waited for his reply. When the silence was unbearable for Moriah, she hastily fled from him, afraid that she would burst into tears a

    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.

    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

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.
