Chapter 561 Reproach

&#lt;p&#gt;&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She never expected to meet Elijah, who did not go back home but sat by the bed and seemed to say
something to Kattie.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;When she entered, Elijah was by the bed.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She was stunned when Elijah turned around.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;His sight was frozen when he looked at her. He stared coldly at Esther who was nervous. Then, his
cold and cool voice was heard, criticism and indifference could be felt, “Why do you come? You should
just concern about Hudson.”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther swallowed her saliva and raised her head to gaze at Elijah’s face. The shape of his face was
vivid, he started to bite his lips. His lips seemed to droop. He always showed a cool and indifferent
expression. His good-looking brow could be seen above his tall nose. A blood streak was found in his
eyes. Didn’t he sleep for a whole night?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Eh!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;What did it matter to her?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;But when she saw the deep and reddened black eyes staring at her with coldness, she chattered, he
was treating her as if she was his enemy, “This is the matter between me and Miss Cole. I come to visit
her, not you!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Why did he want to tease her?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She raised her head and stared at him with discontentment. She had anger too, why did she have to be
bullied by him?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Even if he was a handsome man, he was a cold man as well.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;His anger seemed to burst out of his eyes at the moment, it seemed to swallow her. Why did he do it?
She had guilt on Kattie but not on Elijah, right?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“You are already my woman!” A coarse and low voice was heard coldly. Elijah took a glance at Esther
who was absent-minded.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“So what?” Esther’s heart was cracking, she hated his tone. Then, she criticized him, “Men and women
nowadays like to have a one-night stand, isn’t it? I just treat that night as a one-night stand, I don’t care
about it!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She belittled him purposely and belittled herself too.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Really?” Elijah looked at Esther significantly, his deep sight rested on her face. Then, he approached
her and stretched his hand to hug her.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She bit her lips; she could feel the manly aura emitted by him. Her heart was pounding fast
uncontrollably, “What do you want to do?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She dared not look at his face, she could just focus on his chest. However, later she found herself
doing the wrong thing. Because she found the mark that she made last night on his tan skin revealed
under his unbuttoned black shirt. It made her heart leap.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The feeling, the skin colour, the bite mark was damn sexy!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The man was born to be sexy, or it was because of the bite mark? Or the unbuttoned shirt? Why did he
look so sexy? He simply unbuttoned his shirt then…
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Just one-night stand? Merely a one-night stand?” He lowered his head and blew her ear softly, “You
can forget it? Are you sure?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Damn, Esther clutched her fist and looked up firmly, “I can forget it, I can!”&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She looked like a little lion when she was angry, but she said in a hurtful tone, “You force me to do so, I
don’t force you. You just raped me during a one-night stand, it was not enjoyable at all, you are
useless! You are the worst man in the world! I can have sex with you and others as well, don’t make it
as an excuse to threaten me!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Am I really the worst man or I am just worse than Hudson?” He asked.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“You are worse than Hudson!” Esther bit her lips, it seemed to be true that they had sex before.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;His black eyes shone, his anger arose, he misunderstood her obviously, “I see!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He stayed away from her and showed a cold face, he frowned.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther could strongly feel Elijah’s gloomy and scary expression, she stepped backwards too. She was
shocked when looking at Kattie who lay on the ward bed. How could she talk about this kind of matter
in front of an outsider? Although Miss Cole was in a vegetative state, she should not talk in front of her
too!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She regretted being careless. She gained back her senses. Elijah always had consideration, she could
not understand his complex and obscure thought. She only knew that he was furious at the moment,
she did not even know why he was angry? She loved Hudson, she never concealed it from the very
beginning, who he was to get angry? She was the one that should be upset, right?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Elijah’s anger arose when he looked at Esther’s calm expression. He suppressed his intention to clutch
her. Then, Elijah walked out quickly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He would really clutch her uncontrollably if he kept looking at her. She was a fool, Hudson had
abandoned her, but she still loved him, damn!&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther twisted her mouth when watching him leaving angrily. She made a funny face, “Pervert, I hate
you!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She stopped and looked at Kattie who stayed motionless, she sighed. She thought in her mind whether
Elijah did not go back home for a whole night and kept staying by her side?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Yuck!” Esther shook her head, “Why do I think of him, don’t think of him! Miss Cole, you should
recover as soon as possible, quickly wake up. I pray that you can recover soon!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;After Elijah walked away, the nurse walked in.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther went to Hudson’s ward again. Once she reached the ward, she could hear Hudson’s low and
indifferent voice, “Don’t tell Esther, I will not allow you to tell her, no one is allowed! Dad! You have
promised me with that!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“It’s you who do not keep your promise!” A loud reproach was heard coldly. Christ looked at his son’s
eyes and his injured body. He clutched his fist, his anger arose, and his eyes were reddened. With his
ruthless emotion, he changed his sight abruptly, “You make yourself into such condition and let the old
Mr Perry meet us and want you to divorce with his daughter, do you think it is appropriate?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Dad! I can’t leave Esther; I can give up the heirship of the Perry family. I don’t want any money from
the Perry family, please fulfil my wish!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Hudson lowered his voice; he was even inferior.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“What an unfilial son! Vile, vile, you…damn!” Christ reproached him, “I will not force you to marry
Winnie if you can marry Esther, isn’t it?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“We don’t want to have children!” Hudson lowered his head, “It’s ok, we don’t want to have children!”&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“I don’t care! You must marry Winnie!” I will not allow any scandal to happen in our family!” Christ’s tone
was furious, he showed no tolerance and stand firm.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Dad! If we don’t say it out, it will not be a scandal!” Hudson struggled.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther stood at the door. In fact, it was Mr Ball who did not allow him to marry her. Scandal? What
scandal?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;She could not control herself to enter, she looked at them stunningly in the ward. She was anxious and
uneasy, “What scandal?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Hudson was nervous when he saw Esther, he was panicked. He did not expect Esther to stand outside,
he quickly said, “Esther, where do you go?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Christ showed a stiff expression, his sight rested on Esther’s face. She looked just like Eula and her
face alone alleviated his anger and his angry sights turned gentler.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;After losing Eula, he lived sufferingly and could not return to his normal life!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Mr Ball, Hudson, what is the scandal?” Esther looked at them shockingly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“No, nothing!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Nothing!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;They responded to her simultaneously, she felt even uneasy.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“No! You must have kept something from me! Why?” Esther showed a discontented expression and
looked at Christ, “Mr Ball, I never ask Hudson why he wants to marry Winnie. Everything changes
abruptly, I can’t change anything. When I know that they already married, you all don’t allow me to
attend his wedding, is it because you are afraid that I will spoil the wedding? I don’t want to ask&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Hudson; I just ask you. Mr Ball, you tell me, why do you want to object Hudson to be together with
me?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Christ turned his sight to look at Hudson. He closed his eyes, he could feel a sense of invisible
painfulness, “I leave first!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Mr Ball!” Esther blocked Christ instantly, “Tell me, what happened? I want to know it. Even a
condemned prisoner has the right to know why he should die, right? If I am a condemned prisoner, I
should be given a chance to argue and explain, right?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Christ looked at Esther’s face, she indeed looked similar to Eula. The shining lights, the good-looking
brow and the cute nose, she was indeed his Eula!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He chattered, his heart cracked, he was in an entanglement. Christ turned his face, “Esther, you’re
good but you’re not born in a wealthy family. the Perry family needs a woman like Winnie, we need the
Perry family who is powerful and dignified to support us and reach a win-win situation. You don’t have
all these!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther stepped backwards, “No, impossible, what does it matter to the scandal?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Esther, it is the truth, Dad is right! Dad is afraid that I will divorce you, divorce is a scandal!” Hudson
explained hurriedly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther did not believe it, she glanced at Christ. He showed a calm expression while Hudson showed a
tense expression. Worry and anxiety could be seen on his handsome face.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther frowned confusingly, “Mr Ball, is that true? Is it because I don’t come from a powerful family?
Just because of that?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Christ nodded, “Yes!”&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther was startled. In fact, the noble and established family only looked for the marriage that matched
with them. For her, she was just an orphanage, she had nothing. She did not remember anything seven
years ago, she did not remember her parents, and she did not match with Hudson, right?
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Furthermore, she and Elijah were husband and wife. No matter she was willing or not, she had the
marriage certificate, she did not want to have any relationship with Hudson. It was an emergency case
last night; she could not control herself. Hudson was safe now; she should be relieved.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Oh! I know it. In fact, I don’t want to marry Hudson. I have thought of that before, but I don’t think of it
anymore now! Don’t worry, Mr Ball!” Esther smiled suddenly. A pitiful and helpless smiled could be
seen on her face, “After Hudson abandons me, I will not approach him anymore. You all look down on
my family background, I even look down on your power! Hey, I just worry about his health, he is fine
now, you can ask others to take care of him! I will leave now! Hudson will be my brother from today
onwards. Mr Ball, you are not so stingy that don’t allow me to meet my brother, right?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Esther…” Hudson felt that his chest was painful, he showed a suffering expression, “I…”&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
