Li, Huang and Shen turned around as they found it uncomfortable to see the affection displayed by Ethan.

“Let’s get going, Ethan, so we can go back to the villa,” Moriah said.

Ethan chuckled. “Are you that eager, wifey,” what he said gained a pinch from Moriah.

“I didn’t mean that,” Moriah said in an exasperated tone, but Ethan was in the least affected.

“Dylan, booked a hotel near here,” he gave her a peck on the lips before releasing her from his hold.

Finally, after several hours of hiking, they reach the top of the mountain. They did some stretching exercises to alleviate the soreness later.

Despite Moriah’s protest, Ethan hugged her until they arrived at the hotel.

“We’re here, sirs and madam,” said the chauffeur.

When they were in their respective suites, Moriah was already itching to have a shower after the long hike. She was just about to enter the bathroom when her phone rang. She recognized the ring tone and hurriedly went to answer the call, but Ethan had already an

    After a sumptuous dinner, Moriah and Ethan came back to their suite. “Wife, let’s take up where we left off,” Ethan didn’t give her time to protest as he already covered her mouth with his. Ethan looked at his wife’s lips. They were a bit swollen as they spent an hour kissing. They chuckled as they looked at their disheveled appearances. Ethan’s shirt crumpled, the top three buttons undone and his hair messy while Moriah’s wavy and long hair was tousled, her shirt went up, exposing a little flesh of her bosom. They looked around and pillows were scattered on the floor. “It’s been an hour since we had our dinner, it’s now okay for us to soak in the hot spring,” Moriah pulled down her shirt and brushed her long hair with her finger. Ethan also brushed her hair with his fingers, he groaned as his fingers slid down her soft hair. He brought a handful of her hair near his nose and sniffed it. “You smell so good, baby,” Ethan said as she sniffed her hair. “Are you going to do just that

    Soon after closing the door behind him, Ethan scooped her in his arms and hurriedly walked into the bed. He gently lowered her on the bed. Sitting at the edge of the bed, Ethan gently stroked her face while staring at her stunningly beautiful face. She is getting more and more beautiful each passing day. He just can't get enough of her. “You're so beautiful, Moriah,” he spoke tenderly, making Moriah’s heartbeat pick up a tempo. As soon as she woke up in the morning, Ethan’s perfervid kiss greeted her. "Good morning, wifey," murmured when he felt Moriah stirred from sleep. "Good morning, hubby," Moriah replied while making a big yawn and stretching her body. Ethan sat up and looked down at Moriah who was languidly lying on the bed. After a while, he picked her from the bed and settled her in the bathtub and joined her shortly. The following day after they traveled back to Shanghai, at Lei's and Sophie’s urging, Ethan, Moriah and Shaun used the Wangs’ private jet going back to Lo

    Ethan held his cheek while looking at the back of her wife entering the mansion. He was over the moon that Moriah gave him a kiss before going to work, just like a typical wife would do as she sends off her husband to work. Would she welcome him home with a kiss, when he comes home tonight? He was already looking forward to it. After having lunch, Moriah gave Cindy a call. Her call was answered right away. "Hello, Moriah, I have been waiting for you to call. I missed you so much. It's been a while since you made a call, you are so cruel to me. You have the heart to ignore your best friend," Cindy prattled, giving Moriah no chance to greet her. "Why aren't you saying anything?" Cindy anxiously asked, hearing no response from her. Moriah burst into laughter and said in bouts of laughter. "How could I? You didn't give me a chance to." Cindy chuckled as it dawned on her that she blubbered as soon as she answered the call, hence Moriah had to hear her out. "So, you finally remembered

    "Madam, the table is ready," George informed Moriah. "Thanks, Uncle George, we'll be there in a while," Moriah responded, giving him her bright smile. "Much as I'd like this chattering goes on, guys, the table is ready now," she chuckled."Alright, let's eat, I'm famished," Cindy said, clapping her hands happily. "Do you really have to act like that?" Zachary started to annoy Cindy again. "Moriah is my friend and I don't have to wear a mask," Cindy retorted. "How about me and Jerome? Aren't you afraid that we'll be disgusted?" Zachary asked. Moriah looked over her shoulder when she heard the bantering began. "As for Jerome, I think he doesn't like a woman with a coy attitude and as for you, Mr Brown I don't mind if you are disgusted with me," she said with a huff and rolled her eyes. Jerome gave out a loud laugh, reaping a scowl from Zachary. "Even if you don't act like that, you already disgust me," Zachary fired back. "Said the man who always shows up at the hospital to se

    Sensing that someone was looking at her, slowly, Moriah opened her eyes. "Good morning," Ethan greeted in his magnetic voice. "Good morning," Moriah greeted him back blandly and sat up. "I brought breakfast for you," Ethan said, took the breakfast tray and placed them over her lap. "I cooked that," Ethan said, Moriah gave him a suspicious stare. Ethan chuckled. "The chef told me what to do." Only after burning dozens of eggs and numerous bacon he was able to cook something that would be okay to eat. He also burned all the bread loaves. The chef jokingly complained that he nearly emptied the kitchen. And said they have to buy ingredients again. Moriah looked at the food and apparently it wasn't the chef who prepared the breakfast. The loaf bread was a bit burned. She looked back at her husband's face and her pathetic heart started to feel warm again, melting the ice. She smiled and hadn't noticed the tears at the corner of her eyes. "I'm sorry, baby," he said while reaching out t

    "I haven't, sir," he answered and lowered his gaze as he was afraid to meet his boss's eyes. "Call, Matthew here," Ethan frantically barked his order, his voice echoed as he shouted. Ethan entered the mansion and called for George. Hearing Ethan bellowed his name he scurried toward him, wasting no time. “Sir?” "George, get a blanket," Ethan instructed, based on Ethan's tone George understood that it was an urgent matter so he hurriedly did as he was ordered. Matthew rushed into the mansion. "Sir?" "Gather the men to find my wife," he said, worry was all over his face. Immediately, Ethan came out from the mansion after George handed him the blanket.As they were headed to the woods, from afar, he spotted a woman coming out of the woods. He sighed in relief to see Moriah. His steps became urgent and walked faster. When he was near Moriah, Ethan covered her with the blanket and hugged her tightly.Moriah was puzzled to see Ethan with a worried look and there were a dozen men with

    Moriah shook her head and lowered her gaze. She started digging in her food. Taking into account that George was present, she refrained from talking to her husband, scared that he would say embarrassing things. Moriah was thankful that Ethan ate and did not say anything until the dinner was over. After dinner, Ethan went to the study room while Moriah stayed in their bedroom and spent time reading a book. She didn’t know how long before she slept. The sun was beginning to peep out the clouds when Moriah woke up. The first thing she did was to look at the person lying beside her. Her heart brimmed with joy, watching him sleep. She wanted to kiss him, however, at the thought that she would wake up the beast in him and make her tired again, she chose not to disturb his sleep. Slowly, she turned, carefully getting up so she wouldn't wake him up. All of a sudden, she was pulled back on the bed. She yelped and screamed. "Are you startling me to death?" "Where are you going?" He pulled

    Moriah obeyed to placate him. "You held his hand?" Ethan asked, sounding jealous. Moriah bit her bottom lip to stifle a laugh. "How could I realign his dislocated bone if I hadn't held his hand?" "It seemed that he was just making an excuse to see you?" He pulled her close to him and held her possessively. Moriah couldn't hold back any longer and rolled her eyes. Nevertheless, she was careful not to detonate a bomb. "He had an x - ray, the result was that his wrist was dislocated," Moriah explained to eradicate his suspicions. "Aren't we going home?" Moriah said, so she could divert his attention. "Okay," he said coldly and stood up to leave. He looked at Moriah when he sensed she wasn't moving. Frowning, he asked, "Why are you still sitting there?" "Help me get up," smiling brightly, she lifted her arms. The smile on her face was like a caress to his heart, bringing back the warmth. Ethan was delighted and went near her and pulled her up. Ethan held her hand as they walked

    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.

    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.
