————One year later. The wedding of Zoey Williams, president of Yoder Corporation, and Thomas Yoder, the young master of the Moses family, was held at A City’s grandest hotel. On the wedding day, Zoey wore a gorgeous wedding gown as she walked over to Thomas. She raised her head and smiled at him. “When I was a kid, Freya always said that I would have to marry her brother when I grew up.” “However, I realized that I did not like Elijah. I much preferred Sis Sally.” “Who would have thought that at the end of the day, I would still end up marrying Freya’s younger brother. As per her wishes, I’ll be taking care of her brother forever, and allowing her brother to care for me for the rest of my life.” Thomas smiled as he pulled her into his arms. “My beloved ZZ, I finally get to marry you.” Freya, carrying Frigg and sitting with the rest of the family, turned to exchange smiles with Bennett. The wedding was joyful and romantic. Everyone attending basked in the loving atmosp
“Um… Should I undress and get on the bed, or… Should I help you undress first?”Wrapped in a bath towel, Sally Summers cautiously asked as she stood at the bathroom entrance.Tonight was her wedding night. Further away from her, a man with a black silk ribbon over his eyes sat in a wheelchair. He would be her husband from now on. It was her first time seeing him. Admittedly, he looked better than his photos. The man had angular facial features, a sharp and high nose bridge, densely dark eyebrows, a tall and slender stature. He was the physical embodiment of her Prince Charming. Unfortunately, he was a blind man who was confined in a wheelchair. Some said that Elijah Moses was born a bringer of misfortune. At nine years old, he jinxed his parents’ death; at thirteen years old, his elder sister died. After he became an adult, he brought misfortune in the form of death to his three fiancées. When Sally first heard about these rumors, she was scared too. However, her
Sally was confused. “Would you be able to wash if I leave?” He was blind, would he be able to see anything? The man did not say anything.Yet, the air temperature between them fell a few degrees lower. It seemed like she had finally noticed his anger. Thus, Sally timidly picked up the bath towel and left. “Be careful! Call me if you need anything!” Sally could not stop fidgeting after leaving the bathroom. Her eyes kept darting back in the direction of the bathroom. The bathroom was a slippery place. What if he slipped and fell? What if he was unlucky enough to die from that fall? She just got married. She did not want to become a widow that quickly. As she was feeling uneasy and anxious, her phone rang. It was her bestie, Evonne Turner, who had sent her a video. The video came with a tag that said ‘Learning Materials!’ Learning Materials? Sally opened the message while grumbling internally about how it was still way too early for their finals. Why
After saying that, Sally turned around to head back into the kitchen. The two servants hurriedly stopped her. “There’s no need, Madam.” They were employed to cook breakfast in the Moses house every day. If Sally did everything they were supposed to do, and Mr. Moses was to find out about it, would that not mean losing their job? “Madam.” One of the servants started talking in a dissatisfied tone, “Aunt Leigh and I are in charge of breakfast here. With all due respect, you’ve just arrived here and a stranger to Mr. Moses’ eating habits. Please refrain from messing things up.” The other servant went along immediately. “That’s right. Aunt Zelda is right. Please refrain from cooking, Madam.” “Mr. Moses would not eat breakfast like this.” Aunt Zelda looked at the boring and tasteless breakfast made by Sally in contempt. “A person like Mr. Moses has always had milk, ham, and sandwiches for breakfast. Madam, don’t you think that the porridge and pickled vegetables that you pr
The man’s voice was as cold as an unforgiving winter. The atmosphere in the entire dining room nearly froze. With a plop, Aunt Zelda fell straight to her knees. Redness bloomed around her eyes. “I… I shouldn’t have said that to Madam…” Elijah was usually calm and forgiving as though void of any form of temper. However, if someone made him angry, nobody could withstand him. “But Sir! I didn’t mean any ill. I just didn’t want Madam to trouble herself with breakfast. It’s quite tiring…”Elijah smiled. He lifted his head to throw a light glance in Aunt Zelda’s direction. “So… Does that give you the right to simply ruin the breakfast a newly-wedded wife made for her husband?”Silence covered the living room for several seconds. Elijah’s words did not just manage to shock Aunt Zelda and Aunt Leigh. Even Sally stared at him with her eyes wide open. Elijah was… defending her? Aunt Zelda could not stop trembling from the shock. “Didn’t… Didn’t ruin… “We didn’t throw awa
After recovering from her thoughts, Sally scrambled to pick up her phone and squeezed out a smile at Javier. “Senior… You work here?” A smile flashed across Javier’s handsome face. He extended a hand fondly and ruffled Sally’s head. “How old are you now, and still as clumsy as ever?” Sally answered him earnestly with beaming eyes. “Twenty years old.” The man turned his head to the side as he laughed. “Why are you here at the hospital?” She pointed to the consultation room behind her and replied, “My friend is chatting with her cousin.” Javier lowered his gaze to look at the time. “It’s lunchtime now. Your friend should only come out after a while.”“I’m about to have lunch. My treat?” Sally pursed her lips as she considered his offer for a while before knocking on the door to inform Evonne. “Let’s go.” Javier led the way with a smile while Sally followed him silently. Sally’s crush on Javier started when she was in Year 2 Senior. That year, her grandmoth
The atmosphere in the villa grew tense.Elijah scanned the bottles of medicine that were arranged on the table. His eyes were several degrees colder. “So, Mrs. Moses did that for me. It is I who have misjudged Mrs. Moses.”Sally was not an idiot. She understood the insult as clear as day from Elijah’s words and his eyes.The man simply gave the butler standing next to him a gesture.The butler jogged over hurriedly and removed all of the bottles.Sally felt somewhat guilty. “You asked the butler to take all of them… It is because you don’t want to eat them?”She thought he was unhappy.The corner of Elijah’s lips curved upward in a smile that did not look like a smile. He said, “Eat first.”His voice was low and piercingly low. Sally felt like the air surrounding them became cold. It looked like he was truly angry.Sally held her right hand in her left hand anxiously.Considering how it was just the second day after they got married, was it inappropriate for her to get him
Before Sally could come up with an explanation, Elijah’s extremely thin lips pressed onto hers.He locked onto her arms and had her imprisoned in his iron embrace as he willfully kissed her.Sally was dizzy from his cold breath that invaded her space.She almost thought that her soul was about to get sucked away by his kiss.He released her and smiled wickedly. “Mrs. Moses, was that to your satisfaction?”Sally’s heart twisted into a bundled mess.She struggled to break free of his grip, only to get imprisoned by him once more.The distance between them was too close and too dangerous.Sally continued her struggle in Elijah’s unending grip.Eventually, Sally ran out of energy.She pouted. “How are you so strong…?”Before marriage, Grandpa Moses had reminded her time and again that Elijah had a weak body and was prone to illness. She should take good care of him.Hence, Sally expected Elijah to be a sickly figure like her grandmother.Yet, now, her thoughts were proven to b
