A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 577 Am I Old

Elijah was startled, wondering that was the little girl thought he was old.

Elijah's face instantly sank. According to the rule that successful people were generally 12 years older than their wives, he wasn't old based on the fact that he was only 9 years older than her. At this moment, he was not confident!

But Elijah, who was 27 years old, was much older than an 18 years old girl!

"You think I'm old?" Elijah said deeply.

"You are older than I am." Esther asked directly, "What's wrong? Are you younger than me?"

"Do you think I'm older than you and want to find a younger man to be your husband?" Dissatisfied with Esther's answer, Elijah said coldly and turned to look back at the girl who was shaking her feet. "Are you angry?" Esther looked at and burst out laughing.

She looked at Elijah, raising his eyebrow. He had reasons to be angry. Esther, the little girl seemed to think he was being too old for her, making him less confident!

Esther looked at him with a smile. "Elijah, you are so cute!" she laughed.

At this moment, Elijah's face darkened as he glared at her.

Esther fell about laughing, shaking her head. Her eyes twinkled with excitement. "Compared with me, you are really old, but a man should be mature. Don't grow old too fast. Otherwise, when I get older, I will take a fancy to the younger one and ditch you! Then that's your fault! Now you have to work hard to keep fit!"

As soon as she turned her head, his hot breath sprayed on her ears. She could not help but panic and shrink her neck. She was about to turn back when he quickly lifted her chin with one hand, and the kiss swept over like a storm with an urgent demand and a bit of hegemony.

Esther, however, stood there, motionless.

Although she had been used to his intimacy and see the hickeys on her every day this week, she was still a little shy. "No, no! This is the school..."

This was school, and she never expected him to kiss her so eagerly. She hurriedly tried to break away from him.

Elijah, however, ignored her struggle, and he wanted to announce that she was his woman!

"Don't think I'm old!" He finally let go of her till he was satisfied, then whispered in her ear with his arms around her.

Esther held him with her arms instead of struggling.

Looking up, Esther looked at the face like a god in front of her eyes quietly. She stroked his face with her delicate fingers with a smile on her face.

"You are not old at all! You are my man!" she said directly. But she did not know he was hit and nodded with satisfaction because of her words.

"That's more like it!" Elijah looked at her with deep eyes and his face softened. He said, "Baby, remember I am not only your man, but also your family, the most intimate family!"

"Yes! You're still my father, my brother!" Esther giggled.

Elijah's eyes sparkled slightly at the mention of "father, brother".

From then on, he was the only family of her.

Without hearing his words, Esther stopped laughing and looked at him, who was frowning and looking at her with concern in his eyes.

"What's the matter?" She asked.

"It's OK. Let's hang out today!" He saw the contents of the investigation report and decided to take her to hang out.

"Don't you have to go to the company?" Esther asked, frowning, "Don't you need to make money?"

"Don't you want to hang out with me? You'd rather hang out with Lena than me? Esther, I'm mad." He started to lose temper.

"Yes, she can eat snacks with me, but you can't! Look at yourself, the lady who sells snacks is afraid to sell it to you, afraid you think it is not clean and smashed the stall! Rich people are just flirtatious!" With a dark face, Elijah didn't speak, and he drove the car to the mountain.

"He was angry again? What a nuisance." Esther pouted.

"I'm mad! I am your man, and I am not as charming as a woman!" Elijah said to her in anger. He felt helpless! He enjoyed her dependence on himself, but she just ran away with Lena at the first sight of him. Esther was stunned and blinked with big eyes. Was he jealous? Recently, Elijah was always jealous!

"I'll spank you if you run again!" A long sigh broke the quiet in the car, and Elijah said helplessly. He was angry that she did not think of him, but he was the one who ended up giving in. He had no other choice as he was into this little woman.

"How can you bear to spank me?" She glanced at him.

Elijah was speechless, thinking that he couldn't do anything with her. "Sometimes I really want to strangle you!"

"Come on." Esther, who was not afraid of him, giggled. Elijah took her to the scenic spot on the mountain, and they were in a good mood as they enjoyed the green scenery.

Just as soon as they got off, they bumped into Christ and Hudson who came to the scenic spot too. They saw Esther and Hudson said, "Dad! Tell Esther, you are her father. I have already figured out!"

Until Elijah ordered the meal and a large table of dishes were served, Esther was still immersed in her thoughts.

Hudson's loneliness when he left was stuck on her mind.

"Dinner time." He looked at her with concern, knowing better than anyone how much she longed for families.

"Oh!" Esther came back to her sense. "You, what did you say?"

"Eat!" Elijah passed the chopsticks to her.

Looking at table was full of delicious food, Esther had no appetite. "Elijah, do you believe Mr. Ball is my father?"

Without thinking, Elijah said in a deep voice, "No!"

Esther was stunned and pursed her lips. "Why?" she asked.

Mixed feelings flashed past Elijah's eyes and he said, "Baby, does that matter to you?"

"Of course!" Esther took a look at Elijah. "It matters!"

Elijah looked at her expression. Everything would be written on her face and never be hid. Now, she looked at him with a frown, pursing her lips! His heart ached for her. "Baby!"

"Elijah!"

They almost said at the same time. Esther was stunned and then began to laugh. "You go first."

Elijah said, caressing her face, "I am!"

Esther raised her hand to hold Elijah's big hand and nodded with a smile, "Yes! You are my dearest person in the world."

It was very strange feeling that Esther was very relaxed when she was with Elijah. She seemed to have no doubt when he said he was the most intimate person for her in this world. She trusted him!

"I know! It's strange that I'm okay to treat Hudson as my elder brother but I don't want to take Mr. Ball as my father. When I see him, I don't have the feeling that he's my family!" She said quietly, "In fact, what I care about is not being the daughter of the Ball family. I just don't want to hurt Hudson! Well, he's my brother!"

"Silly girl!" Elijah's eyes fall on her hands that held together. Esther's fingers were fair and slender.

"Elijah, I finally know why Hudson is so miserable!" Esther's heart ached when she thought of Hudson's undisguised pain and loss. She couldn't help sighing, "He is a great man!"

This was for the best if they were brother and sister. She just hoped Hudson could move on! She thought she was selfish! Although she wanted Hudson to be happy, she would still enjoy her own happiness when he was not happy!

Hearing her words, Elijah retorted, raising eyebrows, "Is he great? I don't think so!"

He never thought that there were great men in this world. Generally, there were selfish men. Hudson was also selfish for love. If he was not, how could he tell Esther about that till now?

He wanted to stop it, but he didn't want to hurt Esther. He didn't expect that Hudson was selfish again and had to tell Esther about that. Elijah was very critical of describing Hudson as "great".

But he thought Hudson was really miserable. It should be said that Hudson was a miserable man! He sympathized with him.

"Mind your tone." Esther asked, frowning. "Oh. You are jealous! Elijah, you are a man of jealousy! Hudson is my brother. You are still jealous of him. Shame on you."

...

And Esther, was more and more fond of him!

Elijah said with a gentle smile, "Baby, are you looking for trouble?"

"What! I'm in a complicated mood now. Suddenly I have another family. Hudson has become my own brother, and Mr. Ball has become my father. Is there anyone in this world more complicated than I am now? Since you are my man, you should come forward at this time to help me share my worries and solve my difficulties, instead of being jealous! Hudson will think about me, unlike you who will only be jealous!" Esther rolled her eyes at him as she complained!0000
