Moriah gave in to the temptation to tease him yet again. “What do you think, why did I come home late?”Moriah couldn’t fight the mischievous smile that crept up to her lips and the mischief dancing in her eyes. Ethan saw through her and swept her up into his arms and carried her to the couch. He sat with Moriah on his lap. “Don’t tease me,” he said sternly. “Tell me, what happened,” he said, brushing away the locks of hair from her face. “I was about to leave when Dylan came to my office and asked me to be his date for a party,” she paused, carefully watching his reaction and went on when his eyes narrowed. “But I declined it.”He nuzzl

Ethan hailed a cab. He opened the door for Moriah when a cab stopped in front of them. "Where to sir?" The cab driver asked in English. "Bring us to Elixir Health Pot," Moriah answered in Mandarin. "You speak fluent Mandarin, madam," the cab driver was happy to hear a foreigner speak Mandarin fluently. "My dad is Chinese, he grew up here in Shanghai," she answered. "I see," he replied as he glanced at her in the rearview mirror. Ethan’s tongue started to tingle, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead as he carried on to eat the spicy food. His face, ears and neck turned red. He felt as though a steam spew from his ears, blasting five - al

He held her hand that was icy cold and stopped her from walking, letting Jianyu and Anastacia go ahead of them. “Relax, baby,” Ethan caressed her face, Moriah held Ethan’s hand that was caressing her face and gave him a wobbly smile. “You have nothing to fear. Okay? ” He placed his hand at the back of her head, bending forward, he let his forehead rest on hers. “Love, nothing bad will happen to me, so relax and breathe.” They entered the restaurant together after a while. Looking around there were no other people in the restaurant except for men in their suits dispersed around the restaurant, standing on guard.&ldq

Moriah was flustered and her heart beat began to pick up speed. The thundering of her heart became audible to her hearing despite the noises in the hall. Jianyu and Anastacia maintained their calm demeanour and gave a warm smile to their daughter. Moriah need not to say a word, they knew how tense she was though she didn’t show an outward sign of her uneasiness. Mr. Wang walked ahead of them, followed by Mrs. Wang with Moriah. They walked like they were mother and daughter. Some of the guests looked at them and speculated. Jianyu and Anastacia were behind Mrs. Wang and Moriah, following them towards the study. The tension within Moriah was slightly alleviated once entering the huge, classic, and the elegant study room. Nevertheless, the tension built up again to an even greater measure when she spotted Dylan seated on the couch. As they were approaching Dylan, he stood up and bowed. “Good evening, Uncle and Aunty.” he greeted Jianyu and Anastacia. Although surprised at how Dylan

 Ethan gave Jerome a frosty look.  However, Jerome didn't mind that Ethan gave him a bone chilling gaze, he had been with him for a long, long time and he had been used to seeing those wintry eyes. Jerome and Ethan had been drinking in silence for about a quarter an hour when Zachary arrived with Cindy. "Hey," he tapped Jerome's and Ethan's shoulders and then came to sit on the couch across them. Cindy awkwardly followed Zachary and sat next to him. "Ahem," Cindy cleared her throat when Zachary was pouring wine into the cup. Zachary grinned while he looked at Cindy. "Just a little," Zachary gestured with his fingers. Cindy shoo
