The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Just who she is 

When the morning light hit Elijah’s face, he blinked several times, disoriented by how tired he 

still was, then he yawned, stretched, and slowly rose to sit up while rubbing his eyes. Suddenly, the sound of a knock made Elijah frown, pushing the covers off his body and sliding out of bed, his bare feet hitting the floor lightly as he stood up. 

Scratching his bare chest, Elijah walked over to the wooden door, and when he opened it, Peach’s eyes widened at the sight of his naked torso and black boxer, she immediately took a step back, muttering, “Sorry, I – I will come back later.”. When she turned to leave, Elijah frowned and asked, “You’re already here, so say it. What do you want?!” 

Hearing the sharpness in his voice, Peach instantly stopped in her steps, not turning around to look at him, and mumbled, “Umm… your friends… Well, breakfast is ready downstairs… And they wouldn’t eat without you.” “Tell them that I will be there in a minute,” Elijah replied before slamming the door. 

Flinching, Peach looked back with a pout on her face and muttered, “What’s his problem?” A sigh slipped from Elijah’s lips as he ran his hands down his face and then picked his suitcase up, placing it on the bed. After unzipping it, Elijah took out a pair of jeans, an oversized T-shirt, and a sweater, resting them on the bed before zipping up his suitcase and putting it aside. 

It took a moment for him to get dressed, and afterward, he left his room and went downstairs where he found everyone waiting patiently for him in the dining hall, seated around a huge round table. 

“Morning,” Miss Grace said with a small smile as she greeted Elijah, gesturing at a chair in front of her. “Join us, please.” 

“Good morning,” Elijah whispered as he took his seat quietly, pulling out a chair and sitting down. 

It was peaceful only for a second before Ryan looked over at Elijah and said, “Good Morning, bos… Elijah! Did you sleep well last night?”

How!!” Tommy mocked, smirking as he stared straight into Peach’s pleading eyes. “What are you talking about now, girl?!” “One of you goof just broke a vase!!” Peach yelled angrily. “This isn’t funny anymore, Uncle Tommy!! You can’t treat us this way just because” “Your deadbeat, dead father owes me some money? Of course, I can. If I don’t show up here every time you and your mother have a guest, how will I be sure that you and your cunning mother will pay my money and not eat it?!
