The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Chapter 94

Chapter 94 Please, say it.

Calmly. Elijah looked over his shoulder at Peach, meeting her eyes, which immediately looked troubled by his glance, and then he smiled slightly, not wanting her mind to run wild.

Then when a small grin appeared on her face, he looked back at Ryan and said, “Honestly, this had been my thoughts from the first time I set my sight on that lawyer. He seemed way too shaken and uncertain about what he was saying or doing that night.”

“But why would the Hayeses want to fake a will just to give Peach a part of the properties after years of gatekeeping them for so long and getting away with it?” Ryan inquired, his brows furrowed in confusion.

For a second Elijah just stood there in silence, deep in thought, and then he sighed, mumbling, “From what I saw yesterday between them and Peach, I will say control. A wild wolf is better managed in the pack, but if it becomes a rogue, the pack must be wary. And the Hayes family has a history of controlling everything and everyone, except her.”

“Makes sense… give her a reason to obey, and she will.” Ryan agreed, nodding slightly.

“But she didn’t… And they didn’t hesitate to cast her aside like before.”

“So there is more!”

Grabbing the bridge of his nose, Elijah exhaled deeply and then dropped his hand, letting out, “Yes, there is more… more to Peach with the Hayeses… the lawyer said yesterday night, ‘Take Peach and run.”

“It was a warning…” Ryan mumbled, a sudden realization striking him.

“Exactly! The lawyer knows more than he’s letting on…”

“So, what now?”

“It’s clear he wanted to talk yesterday night, but I didn’t create a trustful atmosphere between us. So, I am going to meet him face to face tomorrow. Hopefully, we can settle it with smooth talk rather than rough words… or acts.”

Subconsciously, Ryan looked back and immediately met Peach’s eyes, and out of nervousness, he did a little wave to her with an awkward smile.

“They are talking about me, ain’t they?” Peach whispered to Matt as she waved back at Ryan with a grin.

“Nooo… Not at all,At’s about… Umm…” Matt stuttered out.

“Work?”

“Yes! work stuff!”

“How very convincing.”
