    Half an hourter.


    Violette rushed to the Bourne family''s ce, and


    went straight into the living room.


    However, there was no one there.


    Violette was a bit puzzled.


    "Rita!" she called out.

    In no time, Rita''s voice came from nearby: "Mom! I''m here! Come save me! The bad man wants to hit


    me!"


    Violette followed the sound.


    In the dining room,


    Rita was hiding under the table, looking terrified.


    She rxed only after she saw Violette.


    "Rita! Why are you hiding under the table? Get out of there!" Violette walked to the table, squatted


    down, and pulled her daughter out.


    Rita threw herself into Violette''s arms, her eyes red, andined, "Mom, he wants to hit me! I was


    so scared... so I hid! Luckily I ran fast and he didn''t catch up... If he had caught up, he would have


    beaten me to death!"


    Violette, of course, didn''t believe her daughter.


    How could Elijah hit a child?


    He didn''t even know Rita was his daughter.


    "Rita, he won''t hit you," Violetteforted her.


    Elijah: "I did want to hit her just now."


    Violette suddenly looked up, staring into his cold eyes.


    He was wearing a gray bathrobe, and there was a conspicuous crimson bite mark on his neck.


    "Rita, why did you bite Uncle Elijah?" Violette saw his anger and knew she had to give him an


    exnation.


    Thest time Ian bit him, it was because he had taken Ian home without permission.


    But this time, Rita hade to his house on her own.


    Rita rubbed her red eyes and said with a pout, "He hugged me! I didn''t want him to... but he insisted... I


    was so mad!"


    "Oh, even so, you can''t bite people!" Violette scolded her daughter, "Look, you bit Uncle Elijah''s neck


    and made it bleed. Quickly apologize to him."


    Rita puffed her cheeks and stubbornly said, "I''m not apologizing to him! If I do, my brother willugh at


    me when I go back."


    Violette was at a loss with her daughter.


    "Violette, let''s talk alone," Elijah said with a solemn face and a low voice.


    Violette handed Rita to Lacey and then followed him out of the dining room.


    As soon as they left the room, Elijah questioned her, "How do you usually educate your children? They


    both hate me to the bone, you know?"


    Violette shook her head nkly, "I haven''t said bad things about you to them."


    "Then it must be Mike," Elijahined, "Both of your kids bit me on the neck, do you want to take a


    bite too?"


    Violette blushed and apologized, "I''ll go get the first aid kit."


    Elijah strode to the sofa and sat down.


    Violette came over with the first aid kit.


    He tilted his head back slightly, revealing his slender neck and sexy corbone.


    As she treated his wound, she tried to make conversation, "Did you also go to my birthday party


    yesterday?"


    "No," Elijah''s eyes were deep and full of resentment, "I was not invited."


    Violette was taken aback, "Oh... maybe Mike thought we were divorced..."


    "Didn''t you see the guest list?" He was still bothered by this.


    "No. I only found out yesterday that Mike threw me a big birthday party."
