Chapter 439


    Violette moved the phone a bit further from her ear, which was starting to hurt.


    "Violette! Don''t you dare ignore me! Spill the beans now! Whose baby are you carrying?! Ah! I''m


    freaking out! Where are you? I''ming over! We need to talk face to face!" Odette was flipping,


    making Violette burst intoughter.


    "I''m at home right now, so don''te over. I''m hitting the sack after this." She said in a sluggish tone,


    "Whose baby could I possibly be carrying. The reason I''m telling you is because my morning sickness


    is getting worse. Even eating is a struggle. Can you cover for me at your wedding if someone tries to


    make me drink?"


    They had agreed to attend Odette''s bachelorette party the night before the wedding together. With a

    crowd, there was bound to be booze.


    By discussing it with Odette in advance, she could avoid a lot of hassle.


    "You can''t drink if you''re pregnant! I''ll make sure of it." Odette said, then spected, "Is it Elijah''s kid


    again? Oh my God, what the hell is going on between you two?"


    Hearing his name, Violette instantly felt sleepy.


    Because she and Elijah were on the outs for now, her brain would automatically block anything rted


    to him.


    That way, it wouldn''t hurt as much.


    "Keep it on the down-low. The baby might notst three months." Violette stood up from the sofa and


    started heading upstairs.


    "Sure, I''ll keep it hush-hush." Odette promised, then suddenly red up, "What good is Elijah besides


    making babies? Is he even a man?"


    Violette''s temples pulsed, "Stop badmouthing him. Nothing like this will happen again."


    The child in her belly, consider it a give-back to Elijah. Whether the baby could be born healthy or not,


    she wouldn''t owe him anything anymore.


    "You''re way too easy to push around!" Odette raged on her behalf, "Next time he dares toy a finger


    on you, give him the chop!"


    Violette got the hint and her cheeks instantly turned red, "Odette, calm down. If the baby is healthy, I''ll


    keep it. I can handle raising another child."


    "Alright. You go rest. I won''t bother you anymore." Odette said.


    ......


    At dusk. The Bourne family.


    Brandon''s car slowly rolled to a stop in the yard. Elijah, dressed in a grey house suit, stood at the door,


    sizing up Brandon.


    "I''m here for dinner." Brandon put the gift he brought in the living room, then shared somepany


    updates with Elijah, "You should continue resting at home! You look a lot better after staying home all


    day."


    Elijah didn''t respond.


    "Where''s Maka? I''ll call her for dinner." Brandon looked around but couldn''t spot Maka.


    "You''re pretty chatty today." Elijah frowned, "What''s up?"


    "Nothing." Brandon seemed a bit uneasy.


    Elijah caught his difort, but didn''t press further. The two stared each other down in the cold


    silence, with Brandon being the first to back down. Content of Draм??ovels


    "So you''re really not going to Ramsey''s wedding?" Brandon sat down at the dining table, "Kylee''s


    going, Violette invited him."


    Just as expected, Elijah''s calm facade fell instantly.


    Elijah''s face was expressionless, all his emotions buried deep down. "I''m not going!" He dered.
