Chapter 501


    After Elijah heard this, he turned around and left. As his car drove away, Mike took a deep breath.


    The next morning.


    Maka showed up, apanied by Elisa.


    The kids were having breakfast. Seeing Maka walk in, their expressions shifted but they did not say


    anything and stayed put.


    Mike shed a grin at Maka. "Why are you here so early?" He thought Elijah would be the one


    walking through the door.


    "I''m here to apologize to Violette, Rita, and Ian," Maka said, her voice clear and strong. "My brother


    and I weretest night. That''s on us."


    "Maka, they don''t need your apology. The one who owes them an apology is Elijah," Mike said,


    walking over with a hot cup of milk.


    "My brother will be here to apologizeter," Maka''s cheeks turned pink, "I just couldn''t wait, so I


    Mikeughed, "This isn''t your fight, Maka. You don''t need to apologize or beat yourself up."


    Maka disagreed, "My brother took me to a new doctor yesterday. The doctor lives far away, and it


    takes a long drive to get there... If it wasn''t for me, he wouldn''t have beente."


    Just then, Rita walked out from the dining room. "Maka, is everything you said true?" Rita''s eyes


    were still puffy from crying the night before.


    Maka nodded vigorously, "Yes. I swear I''m not fibbing."Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    At this moment, Ian finished his breakfast, walked through the living room, put on his backpack, and


    prepared to go to school. Maka went over to him immediately, "Ian, I''m sorry. I didn''t mean to bete


    yesterday."


    Ian wasn''t mad at Maka. He shrugged off Maka''s hand, and said coldly, "I gotta go to school."


    Maka let go, and handed him a small box from her bag, "This is a gift for you. Will you ept it?"


    Mike stepped in, fearing Ian would reject the gift. He wrapped an arm around Ian, "Let''s hit the road. Or


    we''ll bete."


    After Mike and Ian left, Rita ran back to her room to get the gift she prepared for Maka.


    Maka was over the moon receiving the gift. She also took out the gift she prepared for Rita from her


    bag. The gift Maka gave Rita was a brand new hairpin. Rita was so happy that she forgot about the


    upset from the night before.


    "Maka, I actually really like you. I love all the gifts you''ve given me," Rita sat on the sofa, holding


    Maka''s hand, and said, "But I don''t like Elijah… I''m still mad. He hurt my mom''s feelings, and mine


    and Ian''s…"


    Outside, a ck Rolls-Royce pulled up slowly. Elijah stepped out of the car.


    Uncle Mike was taking Ian to school, and mom wasn''t home…


    "Mr. Bourne, I need to take Rita to school. Please take Miss Maka and leave. I need to lock up,"


    Violette''s bodyguard told Elijah. Re?d at Dr?mа?оvеls


    Elijah looked surprised, "Where''s Violette?"


    "She had to go out," the bodyguard replied.
