Ethan felt as if his chest was about to explode on the suffocating scene before his very eyes. He went outside to breathe some air and to calm the swirling emotions within. She had refused him when he offered her food to eat, but when Shaun appeared and gave her food, she gladly ate it. She was easily swayed by Shaun to eat. For the sake of Moriah's health, Ethan, though reluctant, allowed Shaun to take care of her meals during the wake and funeral. After the five days' wake, Moriah's parents were cremated and their remains were placed in the urn garden. Moriah decided to stay so she could visit Sophie and Lei in the hospital. Lei woke up from the coma the night before the funeral while Sophie woke up after the funeral. Her parents were no more and they are the closest friends of her parents. Moreover, they treated her like their own, so she had to show her care before leaving. "Shaun, thank you for everything. I'll stay here for another week, please go back to the States. I don't
Moriah woke up before sunup and tiptoed towards the bathroom, so she wouldn't wake Ethan up. And when she had taken a shower and donned her clothes, quietly she went out of the bedroom. Once she was out of the villa she breathed a sigh of relief and walked for a distance of a quarter mile before she spotted a cab and hailed it. When Ethan woke up, the first thing he did was to pull his wife into his embrace, but was startled when the bed was empty and cold. At once, he opened his eyes and got up from the bed simultaneously. He searched everywhere but could not find his wife. Worry was eating him up when Moriah didn't return his call. Moriah had her phone in silent mode as she didn't want to be disturbed. She was sitting on the grass in the urn garden where her parents' remains had been laid. She didn't know how long she had been sitting there. It seemed that the weather was sympathizing with her as the sky turned dark. Later, it started to drizzle. Moriah looked up and let her fac
Ethan looked down at his wife. Once again their eyes met. "Let me stay here with you and go back to London together," Ethan said, not peeling away his gaze. "Alright," Moriah said briefly and nestled in his arms. A silence prevailed for a good minute, before Moriah spoke again. "Ethan, how did you know that I was in the urn garden?" Moriah asked. "I know you missed them so much. You talk to them on the phone everyday and suddenly you can't talk to them now," Ethan said while his hand caressed her jaw. "I'm really missing them so much" Moriah eyes were wet with tears, she was trying not to let them out of her rims but they stubbornly made their way out. Soon, Ethan's shirt was soaked with tears. "Ethan, will you promise that you won't leave me no matter what?" Moriah asked him in between her sobs. Ethan was afraid to make a promise to her. She was hurt when he made a promise to her and didn't keep it. However, at this crucial moment, he needed to give her an assurance that he'll
Dylan bellowed his assent for the person to come in. Moriah and Ethan looked at each other before they ambled. "Moriah, dear," Sophie spread her arms as soon as Moriah appeared. Moriah hurriedly came close to Sophie and was engulfed by Sophie's arms. Moriah and Sophie cried together, both of them were filled with the sorrow of losing the people they hold dear to their heart. The three men who watched the two ladies weeping had three different ways of handling it. Lei stroked Sophie's back. His eyes red rimmed, trying to contain his tears. Dylan settled his elbows on his lap and cradled his head with his hand while looking down, tears dropping on the floor. Whereas, Ethan looked tough on the outside, but deep within he was heartbroken to see his wife's sorrow and agony. Moreover, he was as sorrowful as the people in the room about the passing of his in-laws and there was regret in his heart that they didn't see Moriah have a child because he wasn't ready. When the crying eventu
Tingling sensations blanketed Moriah's body from head to toe. "Ethan…" she murmured when Ethan began to nibble her lips. Ethan sat at the edge of the couch and guided Moriah to wrap her legs around his waist before he stood up and strode towards the bed. "Ethan, how did you have that stamina?" Moriah could not think of an answer where did he got such stamina being a busy person, handling an enormous business empire. Ethan grinned and got up from the bed. Moriah blushed at the sight of her husband, on display was his finely chiseled lean physique. How could this man walk like that without being embarrassed? As if it's a normal thing for him to do. She put on Ethan's shirt that was laying on the edge of the bed. Ethan is a very tall man and when she put his shirt on, she felt like she's a small child in his shirt. Ethan went into the walk-in closet and emerged after some time now wearing a slim fit t shirt and a jogger. Her husband was smoking hot. Moriah gulped her saliva while a
A whole week quickly went by in a blink. After spending time with the Wangs, Moriah's sorrow assuaged. And, with Ethan, who had considerably taken great lengths to comfort her, helped her feel a lot better. The farewell was far too emotional to the men watching them as Sophie teared up when Moriah was saying her goodbye and both women ended up sobbing as if the world was coming to an end. "Oh darling, you'll see her soon. We can visit her anytime," said Lei while he stroked Sophie's back to placate her. Dylan sighed as he himself felt saddened that Moriah had to go back to London. "Yes, dad is right, we can visit her anytime.""Alright, but I'm going to send her to the airport," Dylan and Lei simply shared a look, they better nod in agreement than to see her cry again. Dylan gestured for the butler to come near him and instructed him to let the chauffeur ready the limousine. "Moriah, dear, would you please call me if you have time to spare," Sophie said like a mother, giving Mori
The bodyguards tailing the car halted as well and immediately went out of the car to check what had happened. The chauffeur stopped the bodyguards when they were about to check their bosses. "Don't go, they need to be alone," the chauffeur said, halting the bodyguards. They looked at him, he smiled and the bodyguards nodded in understanding. Moriah hadn't noticed the car stopped and the chauffeur went out as she busily kissed Ethan wanting to melt the ice. Ethan lifted her from his lap before his wife could notice the certain part of his body that had responded to her. He wound down the car window. "Let's go." The chauffeur hurriedly got into the car and drove off to the mansion. He didn't dare to look at the rearview mirror afraid to meet Ethan's gaze. George was already at the entrance. "Welcome back, sir and madam." "How are you uncle George?" Moriah said, smiling at the butler. He smiled and replied, "I'm doing well, madam." Ethan went ahead and left Moriah, George gave
Another employee chimed in and said, "I noticed, she isn't wearing any makeup, yet she looked gorgeous." "Yes, that's what I also observed. And did you see that she has no jewellery except the wristwatch and wedding band? " Another girl blurted out what was in her mind. "I'm just curious, Mr Miller was always seen with models and celebrities, did he change preference or was his marriage an arranged marriage?" They looked at each other and gasped, "Yeah, perhaps, you're right. Rich people have absurd marriages." "That's probable, remember they were already married for almost a year before it was known to the public, and it was because he had no choice but to admit it." "Yes, Mr Miller is also keeping a mistress by his side. His secretary is too clingy to him. He always brings her to every business meeting and business trip." "Poor Mrs Miller," a woman sighed. Cameron overheard them talking about Ethan and Moriah and cleared his throat. They were all shocked to see him. "Workers 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. "I gave Ting the largest portion as he is the CEO who kept this company movi
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. Ethan and Moriah
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. Moriah already regained her memory however she didn't tell him as he was so busy and had no time for her. Ethan's face darkene
Moriah was excited to clock out as there will be a simple celebration in the mansion for the triplets who are now three months old.When her shift ended, she hurriedly went out of her office. 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. He had been so busy and had no time for her over the month.Thankfully, she was occupied taking care of Dillon and the triplets, so she had no time to have a pity party, though she was hurting.Ethan didn't say anything and just started walking. Moriah just shrugged her shoulders, she became used to his mood swings. There were times that he would be warm to her and then shift back to becoming distan
