Chapter 7

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 be wrong as she looked down at the huge hands that clamped onto her slender waist.

She had always claimed to have a strong body, but she could not even overpower this ‘sickly person’!

The discontented look on Sally’s face as she pouted resembled very much like a peach.

Elijah smiled. He shifted her into a more comfortable position on his lap. “It is only my eyes that are blind. I’m very healthy everywhere else.”

As he said that, he put his face to her ear and chuckled wickedly. “Would you like to try it out right now, Mrs. Moses?”

Sally’s heart started beating wildly.

Her face burnt like fire as she incessantly shook her head. “No, no, no! I don’t wanna!”

Elijah got playful. “No?

“Didn’t Mrs. Moses say… that you would bear me children?”

“I, I... I will give you children for sure, but not… not now!”

Sally was terrified into incoherence!

She could not grasp Elijah’s mood. She was really afraid that he would…

“Anyway, just… no!”

He did not say anything. He stared at her silently with a ruthless and dangerous gaze.

Sally was frightened by his eyes.

He looked like he would just…

Like an injured bunny, she looked at him with tears welling in her eyes. “No…”

Deep in her bones, she was still a traditional and conservative woman.

She could not accept such wild ideas…

Elijah gave her a small smile. “I can ask the driver to get out of the car.”

“That’s not right either… I’ve heard about so many accidents…”

She said tentatively as she attempted to figure out his temperament. “We can do it at home…”

The man laughed at her. “But isn’t Mrs. Moses doubting my ability?”

“No, no!”

Sally nodded violently. “Yes, I took the wrong medicine. Those aren’t meant for you.”

Not meant for him?

A smile played around at the corner of Elijah’s lips. “Then, Mrs. Moses, who… is this medicine meant for?”

“...” Sally could not answer him.

The entire incident seemed to turn murkier with her most recent explanation.

In her haste, she could only make another attempt to grasp at straws. “It’s for my good friend, Evonne. Her boyfriend faces a lot of problems in bed. That’s why she bought the medicine in the hospital. We mistook each other’s medicine by accident.”

Since Evonne Turner dared to troll her, she would not hesitate to throw her under the bus!

Spouting nonsense with a serious look on her face, her actions triggered a slight sense of humor in Elijah’s exquisite face.

Upon realizing that Elijah’s mood had lightened up, Sally held his arm and shook it. “It’s true that I mistook the medicine. How could I ever think of my hubby as problematic?”

Her voice was sticky and sweet as though immersed in honey.

The car came to a halt.
