Chapter 548 Quick Decision

&#lt;p&#gt;&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“He’s chasing after you and you can choose to get off!” Elijah said in a deep voice with a cold
expression.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Ah...” Esther froze. It was really Hudson; she did not expect that Hudson would chase after her. She
became nervous and she knew that she could not get off the car at this moment.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Hudson was not thinking to stop the car at all. Elijah was driving steadily as he didn’t rush to leave
Hudson too far, perhaps he was giving a little time for Esther to think.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;In the silence and panic, Esther’s phone rang, and she was shocked. It was Hudson’s phone number.
She pressed the answer button. “Hudson, please go home!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Esther! Please get off the car, follow me and don’t marry him!” Hudson was holding the phone tightly
with his eyes widely opened while casting an angry look. His eyes looked furious and sharp with a stern
aura while looking at Elijah’s Veyron.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Hudson! Don’t follow me anymore. I do not want to see Hudson anymore. You’re the one who
abandoned me, you will never get me back. Why did you treat me like that in the first place and you
feel regret about it now?” She felt tensed and wanted to make a quick decision. “How could I be the
person who is always ready at your call?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Don’t marry him!” Hudson only said this single sentence.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Hudson! Don’t force me. If you force me again, I will die!” Her words literally made him stop his car
immediately.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Esther, I’m not forcing you. I will clear my affair and allow myself to be single again. I’m not forcing
you; I will wait for you!” Hudson hung up the phone.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther was holding the phone while she felt weak. Were Hudson and Winnie going to divorce? After
she thought for a while, she called back. Her voice sounded firm, “Hudson, we can’t go back to how we
used to be. We can’t. Even if you’re single now, we just can’t. Once you lose me, you will never get me
back!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She hung up the phone after she finished talking.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther frowned. She felt extremely uneasy. She did not want this kind of ending. It seemed like Winnie
really loved Hudson. She even said that she could not live without Hudson!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;How about herself?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Wouldn’t she die as well?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Yes, she would not.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The car quickly reached the garage. Esther started to cry; she bit her lips so that she would not cry it
out. Elijah stretched out his hand, pulled her body into his arms. “If you want to cry, just cry. This is the
last time for you to cry for him!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;There was a vigorous and powerful male voice hovering above her head, she was startled for a while.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He held her in his arms and stroke her lightly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther was like a ship wandering in the middle of the ocean. It was as if she had passed a few storms
and finally stopped at the port. She allowed herself to be hugged by him and her tears just fell by itself.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She was crying harshly in his arms. In the silent night, her sound of weeping became more depressed.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;It was dark in the car. Elijah hugged her tightly as her tears were burning him. He was unable to see
her face. Yet, he could not help lowering his head, then grabbed both of her arms and kissed her&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;forehead, “Good girl, we’re home!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;What a gentle kiss.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;It fell on Esther’s forehead.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She was shocked in the darkness. She quickly moved away from him. She thought that she might be
crazy to even seek warmth from him.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Girl, let’s get married tomorrow!” It was the same sentence, there was not any emotion in his tone.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“I’m still under aged. I can’t get married!” She replied and got off the car.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;There was a faint smile as Elijah slightly pursed his lips, but Esther did not notice about it. She wiped
her tears and rubbed her nose—this lunatic even mentioned about getting married, was it like a child
play to him? We were not in love, how to get married?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;As she was standing in front of the apartment, Esther stared at the sky quietly and wondered whether
Hudson had gone back or not?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Are you still thinking of him?” There was a low voice coming from behind.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;When she turned around, there was an evil and vicious aura surrounding the man behind her. The aura
was expanding quickly at the lobby on the first floor of the apartment. If he did not act fast enough to
conquer her heart, she would think a lot about it. While he was thinking not to be too harsh on her, he
realized that if he was being too gentle, there would be no progress at all.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther closed her eyes again; she turned her face to the other side. She acted stubbornly and refused
to explain while silently protesting his questioning. Did he even want to control her thoughts?&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Elijah stepped forward and pinched her chin. He turned her face around. “I’ll give you another ten
minutes, if you still think of him after ten minutes, then you will have to face the consequences!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Just a single sentence made Esther become more furious. She closed her eyes and shouted. “You
can’t control whoever I want to think of!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He just pinched her chin gently. He did not use too much strength. He looked at her with a sense of
pain flashing through his eyes, yet she closed her eyes without knowing about it.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;There was no other reaction from him as she was waiting for quite some time. She slowly opened her
eyes and found out that Elijah was looking at her face. And he felt more and more eager. However, the
vicious aura was still lingering around. In his eyes, there was a fight between the resentment and
tender sentiments.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther was startled as her eyes was slowly blended into his gaze. There was a trace of astonishment
and shock. The way he looked at her made her realize that she could not see through his eyes.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Their gazes were entangling with each other.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Indulged.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Entangled.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He suddenly hugged her and carried her into the elevator. There were some senses of urgency and
struggling which made his heart beat very fast.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Elijah Perry!” Esther murmured as she looked at him in his arms. She was unable to explain her
feelings in this moment. She was horrified and shocked. She was feeling uneasy and stuffy. “My heart
hurts, it really hurts!”&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She hid her little face into his chest seek for some warmth. She felt like her heart was about to explode,
she could not take it anymore! “My heart hurts, why can’t I die?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He froze for a moment, his eyes flashed, and the elevator went up. He did not answer. No one would
die because of being sentimental. This was because if one’s heart hurt, it would just cause the death of
desire. Perhaps, her heart did not hurt too much or maybe her heart did hurt too much already, and
then there would be a rebirth and perhaps then she would really die.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;As he walked out from the elevator while carrying Esther, he opened the door and went in the house.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She knew that she arrived in the apartment. “Put me down, don’t force me. I’m really very upset today!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He did not want to let go.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She raised her eyes and looked at him, “I know that you’re not a bad person. I know that you’re being a
little weird. Although you look cold, I know that I’m afraid of you but I do know that you’re very kind. So,
please give me a moment to settle down my mind, is that okay?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;It was not that he did not want to give her a chance, he did not allow her to think about it anymore.
Because the more pain she felt, the worse he would feel. As a man with an affection, he did not want to
explain about anything. There was no need to speak loudly or make any promises, he just wanted to be
a man who used actions to make promises.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;That was all!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;After a while, Esther could not get off from him, so she simply laid in his arms because she did not
have any strength anymore.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Both of them were so close with each other, there was a burst of desire that made Elijah’s breath
become rushing. His gaze kept on focusing on her lips and then withdrew his sight again.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Look at me!” He said.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She raised her head.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;His lips almost touched hers, his breath was spraying at the end of her nose which made it a little itchy.
Esther was startled, Elijah stretched out his tongue and went into her red lips and started kissing her
violently.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Her lips were torn between his lips and teeth. It was bloody pain.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther kept punching on his shoulder while murmuring some words. “Let me go... oh...”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Elijah listened to her words and loosened her. He put her down on the ground but he was still grabbing
her waist. He was panting. But after a while again he tried to sooth her numb and painful lips by licking
the blood stained on her lips with the tip of his tongue. He also felt that the blood stain tasted a little
fishy.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The sorrow feeling was expanding in his chest, he slightly held her back leaning back slightly and
embraced her whole body into his arms.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther closed her eyes while her face was resting on the curve of his neck. She did not struggle or
pander. “Elijah, why do you want to do to me? Can you just let me to be alone for a while? Why does
my heart hurt? Why do you want to treat me like this?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She did not understand, at all!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;What did he want? She was tired, very tired! She did not want to think anymore but she couldn’t help
thinking about it. She was not sure if she was struggling about the matters regarding Hudson or Elijah
who acted domineeringly to her again and again, her heart was messed up.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He tried to hug her even tighter. His heart was in total mess, he said coldly, “Didn’t you tell them that
I’m a gay? Let me prove it to you that I’m not!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“I know that you’re not, I’m wrong! I shouldn’t provoke you. Please give me a moment!” She turned
around.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He did not chase after her.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther’s clothes were half drenched. She took her pajamas and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
After she changed her clothes and came out, she saw him smoking in the balcony.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;When she opened the door, he pinched the cigarette butt and ignored her. He went into the bathroom
and there was the sound of running water. Esther sighed and went back to her room. She closed the
door and locked it.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Her tears started to flow again. She realized that she had been crying a lot recently. She felt like she
was not being herself at all. She used to love to smile but now she cried too much.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She was sobbing while wiping her tears.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;After ten minutes, she was still crying. She could hear the bathroom door was opened and closed again
loudly then she heard the sound of the key.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;After that, her doorknob was turned a bit. Unexpectedly the door was opened. Elijah who was wrapped
with only a bath towel on his waist just appeared at the doorway.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther was shocked, her tears were still swirling in her eyes. Her eyes turned red after crying too much,
she was completely stunned when Elijah appeared right in front of her.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He had a good figure with vivid muscles as if there was a hidden strength in him and the water was
dripping from his hair, he was like a portrait. He just came in front of her. He knew that she was startled&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;then he closed the door.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;There was a loud sound when he closed the door. Esther then reacted and quickly wiped her tears
away. “You, what are you doing here?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He stared at her motionlessly with his long and narrow eyes. A cold light flashing and his handsome
face, it was as cold as ice.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Elijah looked at her and thought about the smiling face that she had in the casino in Las Vegas. Since
then, it seemed like he could not see it again.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“What are you trying to do?!” She said in a harsh tone.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Go to sleep!” These few words sounded firm and steady. He was sitting on the bedside, there were
some water droplets on his skin which caught Esther’s attention. He started to wipe the water droplets
with his towel.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther slightly opened her mouth and she kept blinking. She could not see Elijah’s expression clearly.
Her heart was completely replaced by her confusion. “Eli… Elijah, sleep in your room. What are you
trying to do?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She could not believe.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Elijah ignored her question and slowly wiped away the water on his body.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Are you planning to cry all night if I don’t come in?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Get out!” Esther shouted.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He did not move but he turned his sight to her. “Do you fall in love that deeply? Why do you leave since
it is so deep? Esther, have you asked yourself? Do you think that you really love Hudson?”&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
