Chapter 606


    Violette felt a chill creep up her spine upon hearing his voice. He didn''t go to work today? Had he


    been waiting for her to wake up?


    With an embarrassed turn, she looked at him. He was dressed in his suit, and his face was stern.


    The light filtering in from the window fell upon him, making him seem even colder.


    "I sent a message using your phone," she confessed. "I admit it was wrong of me to take your


    phone without permission, but you didn''t consult me when you decided to cut off Kylee either."


    She admitted her fault, but she didn''t regret her actions.


    "Violette..."


    "What do you want? Are you going to hold this against me? I didn''t agree to stay overst night, you


    perv!" Violette snapped with her chin raised defiantly. "If I were you, I''d keep my mouth shut and let


    this slide."


    Elijah was rendered speechless by her words.


    Watching the two of them arguing, Lacey immediately stepped in to mediate. "Violette, lunch is


    ready. You must be hungry. Why don''t youe and eat?"


    Before Violette could refuse, her stomach gave a loud grumble. She hadn''t had breakfast, and her


    hunger was gnawing at her. Ever since her belly had grown, her appetite had increased. Even mild


    bouts of nausea couldn''t dampen her hunger.


    Elijah felt as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped on him. His anger cooled instantly.


    "Sir, go have your meal! Don''t be upset with Violette. She''s pregnant, and it''s quite tough on her,"


    Lacey advised, taking the coffee cup from Elijah''s hand after Violette had left for the dining room.


    Lacey''s words had an effect. Elijah considered Violette''s actions. She had sent a message to a


    journalist from his phone. So what? It wasn''t as if she''d leaked his nudes. It was merely a p to his


    ego. Butpared to the baby in her belly, his pride was insignificant.


    In the dining room.


    They sat opposite each other. Violette was so hungry that she was focused solely on her food.

    "Slow down, or you’ll choke," he reminded her, his eyebrows furrowed in concern.


    She paused, then calmly picked up her soup bowl and took a sip. Perhaps it was because she was


    full, but she suddenly felt like making conversation.


    "Elijah, I heard there''s a woman at yourpany who looks a lot like me."


    "You''re referring to Melinda''s cousin?"


    "Do you think she looks like me?" She put down her soup bowl and looked at him calmly.


    Elijah. "She only bears a superficial resemnce."


    "Oh, do you find her prettier, or me?"


    Elijah nced at her. "Are you full? Your question is rather boring."


    "Why won''t you answer my question? Even if you say she''s prettier, I won''t do anything to you. I''m


    not like you, who always gets angry," she goaded him into answering.


    He put down his fork, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said seriously, "If I thought she was


    prettier than you, and so attractive as to bewitch me, the woman in my bedst night would have


    been her, not you."


    Violette felt awkward. Why did he have to bring upst night?


    Seeing her frown, he teased, "I thought someone just said they don''t get angry."


    "I''m not angry. I''m just annoyed," Violette voiced her feelings. "Do they think I attracted you with my


    looks? Ridiculous. My personality is far superior to my looks."


    The coldness in his eyes melted away, and he joked, "Yes, I waspletely smitten by your


    personalityst night."


    His words gave her goosebumps. "I''m full. I''ll go now."


    "I''ll walk you out." He rose to his feet and followed her.
