The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Read The Marvelous Elijah’s Return by Rever Chapter 155

He was watching us

 Like wildfire, the news about Elijah purchasing Reinvest Co.spread all through the country within just one week of him buying it from Mr. Astor, and as he and Peach sat in the car, he could hear the noise from the reporters outside, their screams and the flashes from the light. Because his ribs were not completely healed yet at that time, Matt, Ryan, and the others had been the ones running things discreetly at the company. 

But it had been two weeks since the incident, and Elijah was barely in pain anymore, and he could walk just fine and only experience slightly discomfort because his ribs still were not fully recovered 

Looking away from the window, Peach rested her gaze on her husband, afraid because he had not gotten “clear” from the doctor yet, and secondly, this was the first time they were going to get seen together with him being a Maxwell. 

“The reporters can be very pushy. Are you sure your body is about to take such a big strain?” Peach whispered, looking into his eyes for reassurance. “I don‘t want you to overdo it or anything.” 

Pausing as he stared at her, Elijah let out a small chuckle since this was the fifth time he had got this question. “My ribs are fine, I promise.” 

Suddenly the back door opened, showing Dice outside the car, and the camera lights began to go crazy as Elijah stepped out, and then he reached into the vehicle for his wife, helping her out of the car. 

The moment Peach‘s foot rested on the ground, Elijah secured his grip on her waist, meeting her eyes with a soft gaze when she looked at him. 

The intensity of his stare made her breath hitch, and Elijah raised a brow, not losing sight of her eyes as he gently traced loose strings of her hair behind her ear. 

Like starving people, the sight of Elijah Maxwell being affectionate to his wife in public was something the reporters were hungry to eat up. The flashes from their cameras seemed to intensify when she smiled at him, her face glowing. 

“Are you okay?” Elijah asked softly, caressing his thumb along her cheek. 

When she nodded, a faint smirk appeared on Elijah‘s lips, and when Peach lowered her head, he reached his hand under her chin, slowly raising her head so she would meet his gaze. 

Then he leaned in towards her ear, the warmth from his breath hitting her neck making goosebumps appear all over her skin as he whispered, “Smile, babe.” 

“They mock us openly. It‘s time they respect and fear us publicly.‘ Elijah thought as he withdrew from lier car to see her smile shyly. 

Tightening his grip on his wife, Elijah faced his front, and his expression grew stony at the sight of the same reporters that were judging him a few weeks ago standing in front of him, screaming his name, “Mr. Maxwell!” Their questions were flying from left to right as Elijah escorted Peach towards the building. “Mr. Maxwell, why keep your identity for so long?!” A journalist yelled.
