The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Chapter 135

This is amazing

Silently, Ryan darted his gaze towards Elijah, then at Peach before dragging it to Miss Grace. taking it off her a second later to meet Rookie and watch Matt‘s face.

“Can someone check on James before he burns more than our breakfast?” Ryan finally let it out, his lips twitching into a chuckle.

“Come on, Ryan.” Miss Grace said, struggling to keep a straight face.

Suddenly, Matt cracked up, and everyone joined him, causing the sound of chuckles to echo in the dining room.

Walking through the doorway with a tray, James looked confused at the sight of them laughing, and once they noticed his presence, they all stopped abruptly, looking apologetic and almost guilty. “What‘s so funny?” James asked, setting the tray down next to Ryan and pulling over a chair for himself.

“Nothing,” Elijah said, trying to cover his smile with a cough. “We just thought about some old memories.”

Frowning, James raised an eyebrow and mumbled, “You guys are making fun of me for burning the eggs.”

“Nooo… No! Of course not, James.” Peach mumbled, waving her hands around wildly, and yet her face was red from holding back her laugh.

“Like husband, like wife… both terrible liars. And here I was excited to finally cook for you two.”

“I miss your cooking. No one makes a mean omelet as good as yours.” A faint smile crossed James‘ face at her words and he proudly said, “The secret ingredient is love.”

“That is so cheesy,” Ryan chuckled. Throwing him a hard stare, James frowned and let out, “No one ask you, Ryaaaan.”

“I miss this,” Peach whispered beneath her breath. “I miss when papa‘s presence was with us in the motel…” But Elijah heard her and so did Miss Grace, and both of them rested their palms on the back of her hands at the same time, causing her to smile warmly.

At three o‘clock, The car was ready for Elijah and the others to leave, and as Peach stood outside with her mother and James, she smiled brightly at Elijah with moist eyes.

“Hurry up and come back to me, okay?” Peach sniffed as the wind blew against her cheeks. “I promise,” Elijah leaned forward and gave her a quick peck on the cheek, smiling softly. “I‘ll be back soon.”

Silently, she beamed at him as he withdrew from her, watching him walk towards the car with Ryan, Rookie, and Matt.

“He will be back,” Miss Grace mumbled. “I know, mama.” Peach whispered, wiping away the tears with each sniff. “I know he will.” Shutting his eyes, Elijah rested back in his seat, feeling a dull ache in his heart as Dice drove

off.

They reached the airport at five, and Elijah stepped out, Ryan, Matt, and Rookie meeting him at the car door.

Leaving his men, Elijah walked over to the front passenger door, staring at Dice, and he said,” Anyone threatened my wife or my mother in law life why I am gone, fuck them up.”

“Yes, boss!” Dice said with a half–smirk. With that assurance, Elijah turned away from the car and walked off with Ryan, Rookie, and Matt.

When they got into the airport terminal, the announcement sounded, calling the passengers to board the plane.

By Six thirty, Elijah was seated in the private wing with Ryan, Matt, and Rookie, and Rookie‘s eyes never left his phone screen as he monitored Dr. William‘s daughter–in–law‘s social media. “We have boarded the plane. Don‘t forget to eat and sleep properly, darling.” Elijah smiled softly as he pressed send before relaxing in his seat.

Slowly sleep started to overtake him, and he could feel his mind going into a deep slumber.

“Good morning, all passengers. We have arrived in New City. The plane will be landing in approximately fifteen minutes. Please buckle your seat belts, enjoy your flight, and thank you for flying with us.” The announcement came over the speakers.

Thirty minutes later, Elijah walked out of New City Airport with Ryan, Rookie, and Matt walking after him. “We have landed. I know you might be sleeping and won‘t see this until later on, but if you are reading it now, you need to go to sleep, and stop worrying.” Elijah absentmindedly wrote, halting in his steps.

“Boss!” Rookie voice startled him, and Elijah snapped his head to look at him, seeing that his men were far from him.

“We got us a taxi.”

“I am coming.” Shoving his phone into his jeans back pocket, he sighed and then walked over to the cab, getting into it before Rookie joined him in the back with Matt, Ryan eyeing them from the front seat.

“Where to?” The cab driver asked. “Silvershore hotel.” Rookie replied, turning his attention back to his phone. The ride was quiet, and even though the driver wanted to say something, he read the atmosphere in the car and kept his mouth shut.

It wasn‘t long till the cab pulled to a stop at Silvershore Hotel parking lot, and all four men exited from the cab, stretching their legs after being cramped inside for so long. A moment later, they arrived at the front desk, where a woman sat behind the desk, greeting them happily. “I made a reservation online for a suite,” Rookie said before she could greet them. Since he was the tech guy, he was the one in charge of almost everything regarding this trip, and the lady nodded, asking, “Name?”

“Rookie Daz.” He calmly replied.

Eyeing Elijah, Ryan, and Matt, the receptionist hesitated for a second before facing her computer screen and typing.

A while later, the door to suite thirteen opened, and Elijah walked inside before Matt, Ryan, and Rookie followed him in.

Finally, he pulled out his phone, and saw a message on his screen, “I am not worrying… but I have forgotten how to sleep easily without your warmth. I will just wait it out. Love you and be careful.”

“Okay, I specifically chose this hotel because Dr. Williams‘s son lives just a block from here. By seven his daughter–in–law drops off his great–grandson at school and his son leaves at Eight, making the doctor the only one at home with the house help and security…” Rookie explained, drawing Elijah‘s attention away from his phone. “So we are free to visit from nine to three.”

“We leave by nine then… Let‘s get some sleep.” Elijah announced, dropping his phone onto the table.

A proud look crossed Dr. Jacob Williams‘s face as he watched his son and his wife walk into the living room with little Dan.

“pop pop!” Dan chirped, running toward him.

Putting down his arms, Dr. Williams picked him up and held him close to him, kissing his soft forehead and cooing, “Hello, little man. Are you ready for school?!”

“Yes!!!” Dan exclaimed, grinning ear to ear. “That‘s the spirit.”

“Love you, pop pop!”

A moment like this always relieved the burden of the truth that had hunted him and he couldn‘t escape, and as always, he dreaded the thought of his family leaving him alone in the house, but slowly as the second turned into minutes, and to the hours, what he dreads met up to him.

“Bye, Pop–pop!” Dan shouted as his grandmother led him out of the house.

“Bye, little man!” Dr. William shouted out with a smile and an aching heart. Meeting his father‘s eyes, Vance gave a small smile, saying, “I have a meeting early today, so I have to leave too.”

And just like that, the moment he dreaded the most arrived, an empty house with him alone with maids and security, and a memory that wouldn‘t let him forget it.

At nine forty, a taxi stopped at the Williams gate, and Elijah got out with Ryan, Rookie, and Matt.

After paying the driver, they headed over to the gate, ringing the bell and waiting patiently.

“Who are you guys?” A voice came from the monitor.

“Is Vance William home?” Rookie responded.

“No,”

“We have an emergency, and it‘s urgent! Is anyone from the family home?”

“His father,”

“Can we speak to him then?”

There was silence from the monitor for a long while before the gate slowly opened, and Elijah walked inside with his men.

Securities were standing watch, staring at them, and when Elijah‘s eyes met with a particular guard, a nervous look crossed his face, staring down nervously and fidgeting. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Please come this way,” The head of security said, drawing Elijah‘s attention back to him.

Snapping himself out of the feeling of uneasiness he felt, Elijah sighed and followed the guard with his men.

With her eyes glued to the fancy chandelier, Madam Jewel was dried of sleep and full with worry as her mind ran wild with corrupt thoughts.

Suddenly the sound of her ring tone made her jump, reaching for her phone quickly and answering. “It‘s been a long while, Texan. What is it?” “Your grandson–in–law is here, in New city with three other guys and they are looking for Doctor Williams‘ son, but now, they are speaking to the doctor.” Texan replied, his voice filled with urgency. Immediately, sitting up, fear washed over Madam Jewel features. Her hand grabbed the device tightly, holding it against her ear as she shouted, “Elijah is meeting Williams!… This is… this is

Pausing, her eyes darted around for a second, a smile tugging on her lips as she let out, “This is amazing!!”
