A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 554 Legitimate Mrs. Perry

He stared at her with two eyes widely opened. He leaned down while pressing on her soft body, sealing her pink lips and staring at her coldly, "You can only be mine!"

"Don't! Don't touch me!" She whispered helplessly. "I don't love you; I love..."

He fiercely blocked her lips to stop her from saying the name. "Don't ever mention that man again, otherwise, I would kill you without mercy!"

"Ooh..." She avoided his warm lips.

His dark and deep eyes emitted a cold, indifferent aura, "I'll let you know whose woman you are!"

The corner of his mouth curled up a wicked smile while he pressed hard against her....

After everything became calm and when she finally ran out of strength, he picked up his phone and snapped a picture of her body, then looked at her blushed face and said in a deep voice, "Babe, I have your pictures too! You are allowed to see my pictures for yourself but not sending them out and as for yours, I won't send them out as well!"

She glared at him and he glared back at her. "I hate you!"

"I know!" He said with his eyes showed a hint of loneliness. "I know you like Hudson."

His tone had a sense of self-deprecating. "But so what? He married Winnie! And Winnie is his wife!"

She froze and stared at him, yes, Winnie was Hudson's wife. Her eyes showed depression and she then glared at him again, "Even then, I don't like you either!"

Her words ignited his anger. The two of them stared at each other, together with their equally beautiful faces and resentful eyes. They were neither turning their gazes away nor admitting they were defeated. Only then Elijah gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! You have guts but remember, you are my wife now!"

The doorbell rang as he was saying that.

Elijah opened the door with his bath towel around him while Esther curled up on the bed, digesting his words from earlier.

Only after one minute, Elijah walked in and threw a red book on the bed. Esther froze and he said, "Legitimate Mrs. Perry, Esther Perry, remember who you are!"

"You?" Esther was stunned, wrapping herself in the blanket and reaching out to take the book. Only then did she found that it was their marriage certificate.

She flipped urgently to open the book and realized that it was the picture they had taken last night. It was stamped which meant that it was really a certificate. "No, it's not real! I'm still a month short of being an adult, it is impossible that I am eligible!"

She couldn't accept it because it was too sudden as she inexplicably became his wife.

"Your ID has been amended and this is a new one!" While saying, Elijah threw her an ID card.

"Ugh!" Esther screamed.

Damn it, this was too scary! He was so powerful that she had gotten a marriage certificate without showing up herself. "I don't want to marry you, why do I?"

Elijah didn't say anything, instead, he walked out, went to the bathroom to shower, and changed his clothes. Looking at the time. It was ten o'clock, he didn't expect it to be done so early and he thought it would be at least until the afternoon!

He was in a good mood and started to prepare the ingredients that someone had just sent to the house to make a meal for his woman.

Esther froze for a long time and she was still unable to accept the fact, how did she become Elijah's wife suddenly?

Elijah went to ask Esther to come out after he finished cooking but there was no one in the room and he didn't even hear her coming out of the room, where should she be?

He was a bit anxious and looked around for her.

The closet was closed, and Elijah seemed to hear a sobbing sound coming from the wardrobe.

He knocked on the door. "Babe..."

The wardrobe became silent at once and he knocked on the door repeatedly for a long time but there was no answer at all. He was a little frightened, but he opened the door directly regardless of what might happen to her.

The light shone into the wardrobe through the doorway as inside it was totally dark. He saw Esther curling up in the closet, sobbing while clutching her legs and her long hair falling over her bareback. She still seemed to be shivering. Elijah opened the door, and the light was brighter but she still sat there unresponsively.

"Esther?" Elijah squatted down in front of her and patted her back. Feeling the coldness on her body, he then frowned again, "My silly girl, what are you doing here?"

Without saying anything, Esther only bit her lower lip so hard that the fishy smell of her blood between her lips and teeth could be smelt.

By the time Elijah cupped her chin and made her lift her head, only then he realized she was in tears, his heart suddenly hurt and he opened his arms to hug her tightly, "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Is it because of what happened last night? Or is it because of the marriage certificate?"

Esther's tear-stained face smiled suddenly while pursing the corners of her lips in a surprisingly pretty way, and she interrupted him, "Why did you want me to become your wife?"

For such a long time she sat in a small space. She had thought clearly that since she was unable to be together with Hudson anymore, and she lost her body to Elijah and she even owed Kattie's health, so what qualifications did she have to say otherwise?

He stared at her. "Don't you like it?"

She froze and smiled again. "I love it! This identity is what so many other women dream of!"

But her smile made him feel even more uneasy, he was a little annoyed, so he reached out his hands and carried her out before carrying her to the bed and wrapping the quilt around her. "Esther, you're lying!" "Since you want to be my husband, then give me five million! I don't want to go on fundraising and be bullied by perverts again!" She said confidently. "No, I want seven million yuan and I want to have fun with the remaining two million!"

Since she couldn't get rid of this identity and he was willing to be her husband, then he would have to take it as reasonable to give her money to spend and for last night, she just took it as a nightmare. He froze and replied immediately, "Sure!"

Yet he felt that she didn't like being Mrs. Perry and he wondered perhaps what he did was wrong.

"Isn't it just marriage? Since it isn't with the one I love the most, anyone will be fine for me!"

Her heartless words made him so desperate that sourness and bitterness bubbling up in his heart.

His heart was getting even more bitter when seeing her tear-stained face, seeing her trembling and when seeing her forcing herself to smile.

"Esther, don't go to work, go to school!" He had contacted the school long ago and he just didn't tell her.

She froze and turned a little confused.

"Go and study at D University. You can major in anything you want!" He glanced down at her helplessly who was only eighteen and still in the age of studying and earlier Hudson had this arrangement for her

too.

"I will not be grateful to you!" She said in a very impulsive tone. Her heart was slightly touched as he had said what she wanted to do most, which was to study. That was what she had wanted and what she had hoped.

Elijah went speechless, he stroked her hair and said gently, "Get up and let's eat!"

"You really let me go study?" Esther was still in disbelief.

"Yes, next week! Which major do you want to study?" He asked.

"Well, how about design? Is visual communication good?" Since she was still a child and when her heart burst with joy, she couldn't hide the smile on her face, "How about studying design?"

Elijah suddenly reached out and hugged her, this little fool was so easily satisfied.

She froze as she heard his sigh and when he said, "As long as I can do it, I will do everything you want for you!"

"Why?" Esther froze as she was shocked by what he said.

"Because you are Esther!" He nudged her nose. "Get up and eat!"

He got up and walked out then cleared the dining table.

And she looked at him who made her feel unfamiliar, that such a gentle look emanating from a man with a cold face, was this a dream?

Esther went to the bathroom, showered, and changed her clothes.

Then she sat in front of the table and he passed her the chopsticks.

Two of them ate quietly and no one spoke.

But the meal he cooked was delicious!

And she ate very well.

He looked at her who had been crying a moment ago was now so quiet that as if the matter just now seemed pointless. He put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at her quietly. Then he took out a card from his side then put it on the table and pushed it in front of her. "This is an additional card!"

"Hum!" She took it and as if thinking of something else, she went back into the room to get Hudson's card. "This is Hudson's card, help me to give it to him!"

Elijah was slightly stunned, but he pursed his lips and smiled before taking it, "Alright!"

*****************

In the afternoon, Esther wandered around alone with Elijah's card, she first went to the hospital to visit Kattie before going to the pharmacy to buy contraceptives.

She wanted to buy the aftercare and she didn't know if the previous one worked. In case if she got pregnant, how could she live?

Thinking that Ethel escaped midway last night, she went to the company again. Although Elijah refused to let her go to work, he didn't stop her from going to the company either.

She took a taxi and stopped in front of the building where she then opened the car door and walked towards the lobby of Perry Group.

As soon as she raised her head, she saw the countless reporters waiting outside the building as if they wanted to capture first-hand information.

Esther's hand gripped her shoulder bag. She was wearing a T-shirt and denim today which was a very student-like dressing. As soon as she appeared, some reporters immediately noticed her.

"Miss Price is here!"

"It's really Miss Price!"

"Miss Price, rumours are saying that today is your wedding day with Mr. Perry, is that true? Please tell us your feelings!"

Esther was dumbfounded and somewhat caught off guard.

A large group of reporters surged over and surrounded her.

"Miss Price, I heard that you really got married with a marriage certificate!"

Esther was silent and her eyes were a little flustered.

Such a situation had caught her off guard.

"Miss Price, may I ask how did you and Mr. Perry meet?"

Ethel got out of the car and saw this situation. He froze when he realized that the person who was surrounded inside was Esther. His eyes sank when he saw her somewhat panicked eyes then he instructed the security guards to separate the crowd and he started to rush inside.

"Mr. Ethel?"

"Everyone! If you want to interview, you should go and interview Mr. Perry, not a little girl, okay? Alright, just leave!" Ethel directly protected Esther and meanwhile, the security guards also started to block the reporters.

Behind them, the reporters were all blocked outside, and Esther was almost dragged into the building.

Esther tidied up her wrinkled clothes and raised her head to glare at Ethel. “It's all because of you, you escaped yesterday, and it causes me to rush here today to settle the matters with you! Otherwise, I wouldn't have met those reporters!"
