Chapter 499


    Once Violette hung up, he finally got what was going on. "Get out!" He ordered, bringing the car to a


    halt.


    Maka shrank back, startled. In the back seat, Sarah was teary-eyed. She knew Elijah''s words were


    directed at her. But they hadn''t reached the city yet, and she didn''t want to get off here.


    "Sarah, don''t make me force you!" Elijah warned, his eyes piercingly cold.


    Sarah, scared witless, quickly pushed the car door open and got out. Once she was out, the car shot


    off like a bullet, disappearing into the dim night.


    Twenty minutester, Elijah arrived at the booked restaurant. When he entered the private room, the


    manager pointed at the opened gift boxes on the floor. "They did open all the gift boxes but didn''t take


    a single gift."


    Elijah looked at the opened boxes, his eyes red, a lump in his throat.


    "They even ate some of the fruits and snacks," the manager continued. "You were only a littlete. It


    didn''t really matter... and the waiter reminded them several times that the dishes could be served in


    advance..."


    Elijah frowned, raising a hand to stop him from speaking further. Violette was angry not because he


    waste, but because of what Sarah had said.


    He helped Maka sit down at the table, then turned to the manager. "Serve the dishes."


    The manager immediately instructed the waitstaff to remove the fruits and snacks from the table and


    signaled the kitchen to serve the dishes. Soon, a feast wasid out on the table.


    Maka looked at the delicious food but couldn''t bring herself to feel happy. "Elijah, call Violette."


    "She won''t answer my call." he knew Violette too well. She seemed gentle and quiet but was more


    stubborn than anyone. He would apologize to her but wasn''t sure how to do it yet.


    "Violette is mad." Maka insisted. "You need to call her now."


    Unable to refuse Maka, he dialed Violette''s number.


    —Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off.


    Just as he had expected.


    Even if he went to her house now, she definitely wouldn''t open the door for him.

    Violette returned home with the two kids after dinner. The vi was pitch-dark. Mike and Joey were out

    on a date and hadn''t returned yet.


    Violette opened the door and switched on the lights. The room was instantly as bright as day.


    "I''ve prepared gifts for you," Violette smiled. "The gifts are hidden in the living room. Go find them!"


    Violette looked out warily. It was Mike’s car.


    Mike entered the living room, to which Violette wondered, “Why are you back so early?”


    He scratched his head, deciding to lie, “Joey had some stuff to do, so we decided to head home


    separately. You go rest. I’ll take care of the kids.”  Dr?мanоvels


    Violette saw his shifty eyes, and knew he was lying but didn''t call him out on it. She returned to her


    room and closed the door.


    And Elijah, he couldn''t either!
