Chapter 367


    When she switched off the light, he noticed a tear trickling down her cheek. Even though he was


    satisfied physically, he felt suffocated inside. Her silence made him feel even worse.


    The room was pitch dark, with only a faint lighting in from the streetmp downstairs. He stared at


    her back, his eyebrows furrowing more and more. His body instinctively craved to be closer to her, not


    maintain this distance.


    Elijah moved closer, stretching out his arm to pull her into his arms. When she felt his warmth, she


    pushed him away with all her might.


    "Let go of me!" she murmured softly.


    "No!" His arms held her tight, his chin resting on her smooth shoulder, inhaling her scent, "I''m not


    leaving tonight."


    She felt tied up, unable to move.


    He was not gentle, but not as rough asst time either. Since when did he consider her opinion about


    staying or leaving? What good was her opinion to him anyway?


    He didn''t need to talk at all. He just did whatever he damn well pleased!


    The next day.


    Violette, as usual, woke up at seven in the morning. When she got up, the man in the bed simply


    opened his eyes, nced at her, then rolled over and continued to sleep. She quickly got dressed and


    left the room.


    Both kids were awake. Ian was brushing his sister''s hair with ab.


    Violette thought about the cries of her children from the previous night and her heart ached.


    She quicklyposed herself and entered their room.


    "Good job, my little ones! You guys got up without mommy having to wake you!" She approached them


    and pulled them both into a hug.


    "Mommy! Did that jerk Elijah leave? Did he hurt you?" Rita''s small hand gripped her arm, her eyes


    scanning her face.


    She shook her head, "He didn''t hurt mommy. If he did, mommy would definitely fight back! You guys


    don''t have to worry about me, okay?"


    Rita sighed with relief, "I knew my mom wasn''t a pushover!"


    "Right!" Violette reassured her daughter, then turned to her son, "Ian, how about mommy takes you


    guys out for breakfast today?"


    Ian nodded.


    "Mommy is really fine." Violette ruffled his hair, then picked a hat from the wardrobe and put it on his


    head, "You like wearing hats, so wear this one. Mommy will buy you lots of cool hats in the future."


    Ian''s face was still expressionless, and his jaw was clenched tight.


    Violette could tell, he was still angry, becausest night when they called for her, she didn''te out of


    the room.


    She felt guilty.


    After getting the kids ready, the three of them left the room and went downstairs. As they passed the


    master bedroom, Ian nced at the door. He had a strong suspicion, that jerk Elijah was still in mom''s


    room.


    Nine o''clock in the morning.


    The Bourne family''s bodyguard delivered some clean clothes to Silverleaf Ridge.


    Elijah changed into the fresh clothes gracefully. As he exited the master bedroom, his phone rang. He


    answered the call and strode downstairs.


    "Ourpany''sputer system got hacked!" On the other end of the line, was Joey''s anxious voice,


    "The hacker left a message."


    Elijah paused, calmly asking, "What message?"
