Chapter 449


    Elijah looked at the woman beside him in surprise.


    When he had first walked into the vi, he had caught a glimpse of her from afar.


    She had been all smiles then, but the moment she saw him, the smile vanished into thin air.


    By the time he made it to the couch, she had silently retreated into a corner out of his sight.


    Now she was sitting next to him, he could clearly see her thin face, and the panic in her eyes.


    She had lost so much weight! Even her sharpness seemed to have faded.


    Her presence had softened, as if he could shatter her with the slightest touch.


    After a rushed nce at him, she was about to get up and leave.


    He grabbed her wrist tightly, stopping her from leaving.


    Everyone in the room watched the drama unfold.


    In fact, their past rtionship had been the topic of gossip among Ramsey''s friends and Odette''s

    friends.


    Now watching their tussle, their curiosity was like a fire burning brightly!


    Perhaps their anticipation was so strong that the situation, as they had hoped, started to spiral out of


    control!


    "Beep!"


    Elijah''s heart rate monitor started to re!


    His heart rate had shot up from eighty to one hundred and twenty!


    Watching pretty girls, handsome guys, cute babies, kissing scenes, sex scenes, nothing had caused


    this reaction. But here he was, with Violette sitting beside him for less than two minutes, and his heart


    was going haywire.


    This was just nuts! Everyone was taken aback by this turn of events.


    The rm sounded like a sledgehammernding on Elijah and Violette.


    Violette''s face turned a bright shade of red from embarrassment. She covered her face with her hand,


    too shy to meet everyone’s eyes.


    Elijah quickly took off his heart rate monitor and, with a "p", flung it away!


    Damn that wristband!


    Elijah''s face was a mix of seriousness and embarrassment. Everyone tried to hold back theirughter.


    But Brandon, sitting on his other side, started tough out loud!


    And with himughing, everyone else joined in.


    Theughter echoed throughout the living room.


    Violette wished she could crawl into a hole. She forcefully pried Elijah''s hand open and awkwardly


    slipped away.


    As she made her way around the couch, her eyes locked onto Odette.


    She grabbed Odette and walked off, the two women disappearing into a guest room.


    Once the door was closed, Violette angrily said, "Odette! Have you lost your mind?!"


    Odette was stillughing, "I did it on purpose. Didn''t you want to know why he came out of the blue? I


    figured he came for you. But I wasn''t sure, so I ran a little test. And vo, it worked!"


    Violette was at a loss for words.


    Of course, Violette wasn''t going to let it slide. She would rather not specte about his feelings.


    She didn''t know how to face him, unless they never saw each other again.


    Although Violette was upset, she didn''t want to ruin Odette''s mood with the wedding tomorrow.

    "Alright. I''m not mad anymore. Go ahead and entertain them. I''m going to take a bath." Violette opened


    the door, letting Odette out.


    Back in the living room.


    Elijah had lost the challenge, so he and Brandon had to finish a bottle of alcohol each.


    Brandon held his ss, drinking one ss at a time.


    Elijah, on the other hand, picked up the bottle and guzzled down the whole thing in one go!
