Dead or maybe
not… The feeling of a soft kiss on her bare back made Peach‘s lips pull into a smile, and she rolled over
to face Elijah, her eyes beaming.
“Hey, sleepyhead.” She grinned as she raffled
her fingers through his messy hair, giggling when he groaned and nuzzled closer to her side. Her other h

“Our flights leave in the next three hours… Don‘t make us book another ticket.”
Elijah whispered huskily, and she laughed again, turning so she was laying on top of him.
Her hands moved down to rest on his lips, and she leaned forward, placing small
kisses along his collarbones. Then she stopped to take his lower lip between her teeth, smiling against it.
“Peach,” Miss Grace‘s voice drifted through
the open door, and Peach froze, looking at the doonvay. “Elijah,” Immediately Peach tried to jump off Elij

brow. Confused, Peach was about to ask, but then she looked down at his hips, and her eyes
widened, mumbling, “Babe, our parents are right outside our room.”
“Well, you better be quiet while doing it then,”
“Elijah,”
A chuckle escaped Elijah‘s laugh, which soon turned into a full–
blown laugh seeing the look of horror on her face when she

“Seems like they are awake,” they heard Miss Grace said to Mr. Maxwell.
“Are we leaving at noon?” Mr. Maxwell asked. When Elijah raised a brow at a Peach, she scoffed at her h
usband, and then looked back
at their pack suitcases, uttering, “We will. I just need to finish packing and we will join you all downstairs l
ater for breakfast.”
Trying not to chuckle at her lie, Elijah looked away from her, and
yet he was wheezing so badly that Peach threw him a hard stare, mumbling teasingly, “Continued laughi
ng and you are fixing this on your own.”
Immediately Elijah clapped his hands over his mouth., and yet that only made him giggle harder, and Pe
ach had to bite the inside of her cheek to keep her laughter in check.
“I hate you,” She childishly mumbled under her breath. Immediately Elijah locked eyes with her, and she
casually darted her gaze around like she didn‘t know if he was staring at her or not.
“Well, I love you,” Elijah said in a serious tone, causing her to settle her eyes on
his. “Why are you being so serious all of sudden,” Peach whispered with a pout, her lashes
fluttering cutely. Smirking at her, he pulled Peach close by
her neck and pressed her against him as he mumbled, “Forever, right? “Always. No matter what.” Peach
responded before kissing him deeply, her hand moving up to tangle in his hair. 1
“Good morning. Welcome to Bordoria International Airport, The announcement came over the monitor.
Secure under Elijali‘s arms, Peaclı struggled to get rid of the sense of
nervousness she felt, but still, she was excited, glad that he kept his word, exactly one month later, she
was finally meeting his mother.
The fear that came with that thought was not foreign to her, and while she was sure she could handle it.
Peach still couldn‘t help but feel nervous. When she subconsciously looked over at Mr. Maxwell, the
smile that he gave her made her feel a slight sense of hope since Elijah told her about his childhood, and
his father seemed to be the one who was hard to please. When they got outside the airport, a line of cars
parked outside and men in black crowding the parking lot of the airport. The moment they saw Elijah and
Mr. Maxwell, they all bowed, shouting, “Welcome back Master Romney and young Master Elijah!
Welcome Lady Peach and Madam Grace!”
The
humbleness within the force of their voice made Peach freeze, stunned at the sight of a bunch of men bo
wing to her, and she nervously eyed Elijah, her heart beating loudly in her ears.
Like he could sense her nervousness, Elijah took her hand in his, squeezing it tightly as they began
walking towards the black Knight XV. ‘Albert, are you seeing this?‘ Miss Grace cried in her head tears set
tling in her eyes as she watched Elijah open the car door for Peach while his men bowed to them.
The ride was long because of how long the convoy was, and Peach kept getting lost in her thoughts won

As the cars finally slowed down, she peeked at Elijah, and when he felt her eyes on him, he smiled and
winked, making Peach blush lightly.
“Don‘t worry… She‘s going to love you,” Elijah murmured in her ear, and Peach blushed even darker.
Pacing around nervously in the living room, Lisa Maxwell couldn‘t stop the excitement from welling up ins

When she saw Elijah leading Peach into the room, Mrs. Maxwell
couldn‘t contain her happiness and hurried to
them, wrapping her arms around Peach, causing Elijah to step away from them.
“My dear,” Mrs. Maxwell whispered, pulling her into a warm hug. “Thank you,”
Even though Peach was confused as to why her mother–in–
law, whom she just met, would thank her, that feeling quickly melt as she hugged Mrs. Maxwell back, clos

Not a single moment passed that she didn‘t smile or chuckle at their words and the only thing that change
started ringing, making the room unintentionally grow silent.
When Elijah met her eyes, he smiled and said, “Excuse me… I should take
this.” Quickly, he scooted away from the table before Peach could say anything, walked out hastily, and th
expression going cold at the thought of an unknown number calling him.
“Am I speaking with Elijah Maxwell, Peach Hayes‘ husband?” A lady‘s voice spoke on the other end of the

“Are you him?”
There was a long pause as Elijah let out
a sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose and then he let out, “Yes. I am Elijah Maxwell. Now, it‘s your turn. W
