Chapter 600 What an Affectation

&#lt;p&#gt;&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Elijah looked away in a panic and said in a croaky whisper, "Then you should get up. Let's go out after
dinner ..."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Where are we going! I'm so tired!" Esther pouted and looked unhappy. "I don't want to go. It's all your
fault for making me so tired!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He glanced at her sexy body and sighed helplessly. Then he leaned over, wrapped his arms around
her, and kissed her gently on the forehead, "It's okay if you don' t want to go out ..."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;But she wrapped her arms around his neck in one fell swoop, "I want to go as much as I don't want to
go. And I want to sleep as well as play!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;With her soft body pressed against his rigid chest, his heart skipped a beat and he breathed heavily. He
gently pushed her away. Looking at her sleepy eyes, he resisted the urge to kiss her deeply and placed
a light kiss her cheek, "You decide!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"My throat is a little sore!" Esther frowned and rubbed her neck.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Huh ..." A flutter of suppressed laughter came out from deep in Elijah's throat. Looking at Esther, who
was annoyed, Elijah kissed her forehead lovingly. He wrapped his large arms around her waist while
his chuckle came through, and then he spoke the answer, "Because you screamed too loud last night."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;When he said this, anger rushed up to her delicate cheeks. Esther gritted her teeth and glared at the
man who was smiling smugly. Even though they had already had the most intimate relationship, even
though they had had the most intimate experiences outdoors or at home or in the office, damn it, she
blushed subconsciously whenever he talked about making love.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;***&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Elijah, from now on, you don't expect to get into my bed!" Her cheeks burned, but she didn't know
whether she was angry or ashamed. Esther pulled the hand out of her body unceremoniously, while her
little red face was full of annoyance. But as the cold, unfeeling cheeks had a shy blush, it had a charm
that could not be described.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I'm not really interested in getting into bed, only in fucking you." Although they were dirty words, Esther
was suddenly stunned when they came out of Elijah's mouth. The strange incongruity made her laugh.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Baby, we're not going out today, okay?" Her smile was not flirtatious enough, not sultry enough, but it
made Elijah's heart swell with warmth.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"No! I want to get out!" Esther met his deep, wicked, teasing eyes and quickly lifted the covers to get
out of bed. Unfortunately, a pair of large hands managed to wrap around her from behind, and his tall
body pressed down heavily at the same time, heavily, causing Esther to raise her eyebrows helplessly
once again.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Elijah, get down."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Let's get you on top." He smiled wickedly, not as cold and serious as usual. Elijah quickly put his
hands on Esther's waist and sat her firmly on his waist, "This position might not be so bad."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You pervert." She couldn't help but blush again. Esther stared helplessly at the man beneath her, "Let
go. I'm really about to die of exhaustion."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Baby, just once." He raised his cold face and pleaded with utmost innocence. Elijah suddenly pulled
Esther downward and let her lean against his chest. At the same time, he kissed her passionately and
quickly on the lips.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;After the sex, however, it was more than two hours later. They lay panting on the bed. Esther's red-
flushed face showed frustration and weakness. She gestured a finger at Elijah, "Didn't you say once?"&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Baby, if I really could only do it once, you'd be crying." Satisfied both physically and mentally, Elijah
smiled with satisfaction and smugness as he was fed. He slowly wiped the water from his body just
after the shower, while laughing flirtatiously, "Let’s go, you can sleep in the car."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther just couldn't understand how Elijah had such good physical strength, and she was just so tired
that her body was sore and aching. Looking at Elijah in full spirit, she thought that it seemed to be him
who had been working hard. Did he not feel tired at all? "I'm not going anywhere. I want to rest at
home!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You're not going out?" Elijah raised an eyebrow and lunged at her again.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Not again!" Esther screamed.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Happy days were always fleeting. It was Monday again.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Elijah took her to see Kattie, and as soon as they entered, Kattie's dark eyes lit up like a bright ball of
fire at the sight of Elijah, "Elijah, you're here!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Yes! How are you recovering?" Elijah did not walk up but stood at a distance from the end of the bed.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Kattie hung her head and looked up quickly at Elijah again. "The doctor said I'll be out of the hospital
this weekend!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;So far, Kattie hadn't even looked at Esther. Seeing that her eyes were glued to Elijah's face, Esther
sighed. It seemed that this woman really liked Elijah!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I'm going to ask the doctor to see if you can get out of the hospital!" Elijah looked at Esther, and he
said this to Esther.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther nodded and noticed that he wasn't looking at Kattie. She felt that he was different from the
previous meeting with Kattie, and it seemed that he had become indifferent. So she thought he might&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;have really taken advantage of Kattie, and then she had some mixed feelings.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Congratulations, you'll be out of the hospital next week, Kattie!" Esther was the happiest. Because it
meant that the trouble she made could come to an end.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"What's there to congratulate? My health is not what it used to be. I'm only alive thanks to you! Esther, I
really wish you had run me over and I would have never woken up. That might have been best for me!"
Kattie's tone was helpless. She bit her lip and whispered, "Sometimes it's better to die than to live!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"What makes you think that?" Esther hurriedly asked.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I didn't think this car accident would lead to Elijah meeting you! That's probably fate! I'm not going to
lie. I like Elijah. I've known him for over ten years, and I've liked him for over ten years!" Kattie looked
on the verge of tears, but still confessed what was on her mind. "But he married you instead! My hopes
are dashed! Forget it. If only you were happy!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther could not bear to see a beautiful woman crying, so she hurried to comfort her. "Kattie, do you
really like Elijah? But what should I do? I'm married to him. I'm sorry!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"That's in the past. I don't like him now. It makes me happy to see you guys happy!" Kattie sighed, then
took Esther's little hand and said pitifully, "Esther, will you come and see me more often. I'm quite bored
by myself."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Okay." Esther was actually very soft-hearted. "Good! I'll come visit you after class!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Also, Elijah treats me like family, so he always does many things for me. You don't get mad at him.
Although I admit that I like him, but he does not like me! Don't worry about that! We've always regarded
each other as family, and I'm three years older than him. Don't worry! Will you stay here with me this
afternoon?"&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Oh ... good!" Esther laughed awkwardly. Although Kattie told her this so bluntly, but somehow she still
felt uneasy. She shook her head. "I trust Elijah!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Then I'm relieved!" With that, Kattie looked at Esther again. "Let's not let Elijah know about our
conversation, okay? I don't want to cause him any problems!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther was stunned. She suddenly felt that Kattie was a bit hypocritical. If she didn't want Elijah to
know, why did she tell her? This was simply contradictory. She had a crush on Elijah, yet she didn't
want Elijah to know after she said it. She was so pretentious! But Esther still nodded. "I won't say
anything!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You won't say what?" Elijah had returned. There was no excessive expression on his face, and he
looked indifferent as usual. "The doctor said that if there are nothing else, you can be discharged this
week!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Yes!" Kattie nodded obediently.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"There's still work to do at the office. Esther and I will go first!" Elijah said as he came over to take
Esther's hand.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther was stunned and said, "I'm staying here with Kattie!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Elijah turned his head and looked at Kattie, while she said, "Forget it, Esther, you go back with Elijah.
I'm fine! I don't need you to stay with me!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I don't have class this afternoon. I'll stay with you!" She thought about that she had just promised
Kattie and couldn't go back on her word.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Esther, Kattie doesn't need your company. It will be great that you don't make a mess for her. Let's
go!" With that, Elijah took Esther's hand and walked out, ignoring her struggles.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Kattie sat on the bed and clenched her fists. Looking at their backs as they left, her eyes were gloomy.
Abruptly, she closed her eyes.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I promised to stay with her!" Esther said as she walked away.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"She's more than ten years older than you. You have too much of a generation gap and no common
language!" He said coldly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Then you're still almost ten years older than me! We have a generation gap too!" Esther shouted.
Thinking about Kattie's words, she was a little annoyed, "You two are about the same age. Three years
older is not a big deal, and cradle-snatcher love is popular. Why don't you marry her?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The two walked to the elevator. Esther pressed the elevator button and the two of them waited for the
elevator.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He didn't say anything but looked at her face with his eyes twinkling. "You're jealous? What did she say
to you?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"She didn't say anything!" Esther shook her head.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You are lying!" He said in a deep voice.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;The elevator door opened and the two stepped inside. There was no one else in the elevator, just the
two of them!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Tell me what she said?" Elijah said seriously.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Nothing!" Esther shook her head. She was going to say it, but she couldn't help but get angry again. It
was so annoying to have a man who was too good-looking, because he would always be missed by
other women. It was too dangerous!&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"What are you pouting for?" In the small elevator, the oppressive aura of his body drove Esther back
into a corner.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Ugh! No!" She retorted.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He reached out and wrapped his arms around her. Suddenly, Esther was in his arms, and her face
sunken into his soft, tall body. Esther tried to struggle, but the hands around her back were stronger.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Don't move. Let me hold you." Elijah's voice rang in Esther's ears, like a magical spell that instantly
caught her on the spot. "She said she liked me, didn't she?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You heard that?" She looked up to get a clear picture of the situation. But before she could see his
face, his hot lips pressed sharply against hers, and a tingling sensation rippled through every cell of her
body ...
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;(Indescribable) ...
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Who gave you permission to promise her to come and keep her company?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Huh? You really heard everything?" She was stunned.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I never liked her!" He whispered to Esther in between breaths, as if to explain, "She's just family to me,
a friend! That's all!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He kissed Esther's dark hair on her ear, and as he did so he added, "You'll have to stay with me from
now on, and all the time you're out of class!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Never like her? Who was the one who almost killed me at the beginning when he found out she was
hit by me? And said you'd make my life a living hell if she died!" She retorted him with what he had said
before.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I didn't know who you were then!" He said.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He kissed her again on the lips to stop her chattering. The kiss became a touch of lips and a soft
comfort that ran through the veins to the most secret corners of her body.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"What do ... you ... mean?"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Close your eyes."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Esther's nerves were gripped by his kiss and her doubts were swept away by his breath, leaving her
with no power to even whine.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
