The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Two birds, one stone

The hall was quiet until Melina suddenly burst into achuckle that vibrated throughout the ballroom and caused quite a few people to frown in annoyance at the sound of such amusement coming out of Melina The other guests glanced at her with confused expressions, not being able to understand what the problem was. 

The laughter finally died down, as Melina wiped the corners of her eyes from cracking up, and said in a soft tone, “Peach, I’m sorry if my reaction upset you, but why do you look so horrified like Grandmother is not doing you a big favor… Is it that you don’t want to settle down because of my ex-husband, huh, my dear cousin?” 

‘What is this troublesome child doing now… Madam Jewel thought as she raised a brow in diper 

“Your daughter is going to go against Mother’s wish for tonight. Why haven’t you taught her some serise!” Tommy lashed out at Martha in a low tone.

What are you afraid that I would beat her up?” Melina spickered, walking closer to Elijah, 

“No, I’m afraid that she will jump your ass.’ Elijah retorted in silence, his face showing no emotion. 

“What kind of game are you two playing, huh? Showing up here with her acting so protective of her is this how messed up you are, using my own cousin to get your revenge on me?” Melina 

continued her rant, pointing a singer in Elijah’s face. ller words settled the dilemma he had been struggling with for a while, and knowing that Peachas a Hayes give hinn full access to the fainily, their history, their homes, and any information about them, Elijah drew a derp breath and said, “I don’t think after a divorce, WT still luve a night to question each other’s relationship” “Hons, what are you saying now.
