Chapter 510


    Elijah took his sweet time finishing the massage for her, then gently wiped off the residual oil with a wet


    tissue.


    Her cheeks were ame, and she tried to pull away a few times, but he wouldn''t let her. His fingers

    gently brushed her skin, sending a tingling sensation straight to her heart.


    "You know tomorrow''s flight might get canceled, right?" he finally let her go.


    "Don''t jinx it." All she wanted now was to go home.


    He picked up the water basin to empty it in the bathroom. When he returned, her expression had taken


    a turn for the worse.


    "Did they cancel the flight?" He guessed.


    "Yup." She set her phone down and spoke with a mncholic tone, "There’s fruit and snacks in the


    bag. Go help yourself."


    Although he was a bit peckish, seeing her like this killed his appetite. She picked up the kettle, nning


    to boil some water. He took the kettle from her, "You go lie down and rest. I got this."


    She walked over to the bed, looking dazed. Her mind was filled with thoughts about Ian. Ian had hardly


    ever cried since he turned one, unlike most kids who would throw tantrums every now and then. She


    couldn''t even picture Ian crying.


    Ian chose to stay in the Talent Program because it wasn''t as restrictive as regr sses. The


    curriculum was more advanced, and his ssmates were all potential prodigies. Geniuses were


    different from average people in personality. They were more self-centered and didn''t pay much


    attention to others. So Ian decided to continue studying there after his trial day.


    She was happy that Ian found a ce where he fit in, but she overlooked the pressure the environment


    put on him.


    "Are you worrying about Ian?" he asked her after setting down the kettle, "Don''t worry, he knows how to


    handle stress."


    She looked at him in surprise, "How do you know?"


    He was silent for a while, thinking about a lot of things. How did he know? Because Ian was his son.


    That was how he knew.


    Ian was much like him in personality, demanding a lot from himself. When he failed to meet his goals,


    he would be devastated and doubt himself, but then he would try even harder.


    "Because he''s your son. I trust him." He looked at her intensely, saying this calmly.


    Her heart raced, and shey down on the bed.


    He walked over to tuck her in. "Violette, can I see your belly?" He sat at the edge of the bed, asking for


    her opinion.


    Her face turned redder, "Why do you want to see my belly?"


    He swallowed hard, his throat feeling scorched, "I want to see our baby."


    "You can''t see anything yet." She shattered his illusion.


    "Well, how long does it take to find out?" He asked, feeling frustrated.


    Violette had no idea that Elijah already knew Ian was his child, so she didn''t think much of his question.


    "Probably in five or six months."


    His eyes suddenly moistened, and he sighed, "Violette, you were right. I might be the dumbest man in


    the world." Read at


    "Did I really say that?" She looked at him in surprise, wondering why he would say such a thing out of


    the blue.


    "Everyone makes mistakes." She looked at his determined profile, her voice unconsciously softened.
