Chapter 37
Kaleb, I'm really sorry!
Someone's gotta take the blame for this.
Reaves had already noticed that the stuff in the safe was gone.
If she didn’t get Reaves' attention off her, her life would be in danger.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
The guy opened her bag and took out her phone.
The screen showed 'the Bourne family landline'.
"You ain't lying! Since you're with the Bourne family now, I won't make things difficult for you. Just go!"
The guy didn’t wanna mess with the Bourne family.
Besides, he already did what he was supposed to.
After Violette got her freedom, she called Lacey back.
"Mrs. Bourne, why did you hang up? It's so late and you're not home yet, what happened?" Lacey's
voice came through.
Violette looked around.
It was desolate here, the streetlights were dim, and there were dense woods on both sides. It was
kinda creepy.
"Lacey, is the driver at home resting? I can't get a ride back." Violette was just wearing a dress, and a
gust of autumn wind made her teeth chatter.
"The driver just brought Mr. Bourne back. I'll have him come pick you up. Send me your location."
"Okay." NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Violette sent her location to Lacey's phone.
After receiving Violette's location, Lacey forwarded it to the driver.
After the driver went to pick her up, Lacey went to Elijah and explained for Violette: "Mrs. Bourne must
have run into some trouble. She's in the suburbs now. There's no way she'd go there at night."
Elijah took Lacey's phone and looked at Violette's location.
It was a very remote place, hardly anyone goes there even during the day, let alone at night.
Elijah ordered the bodyguard: "Take some people over there right now and find out what happened."
About three hours later, Violette was picked up.
The driver parked the car in the yard and got out alone.
Lacey, puzzled, walked quickly towards the driver.
"Mrs. Bourne fell asleep in the car." The driver said to Lacey, "I couldn't bear to wake her up, and it's
not appropriate for me to touch her."
Lacey immediately opened the passenger door and woke Violette up.
Violette rubbed her eyes.
"Mrs. Bourne, you're safe at home now! Go to your room and sleep!" Lacey helped Violette out of the
car, "Mr. Bourne has been waiting for you. He's really worried about you."
Elijah had been in the living room the whole time.
He didn’t say anything, but Lacey could tell he had some feelings for Violette.
He wanted Violette to abort the baby so they could continue their life together.
"He's waiting for me?" Violette suddenly woke up, "He's not gonna blame me, is he?"
Lacey: "No way. He's really worried about your safety since you went to the suburbs so late."
"Oh, I'm fine now."
Violette went to the door to change her shoes and saw Elijah's tall figure walking towards the elevator.
He was not using a wheelchair.
He can walk now?!
"His legs..." Violette asked Lacey.
"Mr. Bourne can walk now, but he can't exercise for long periods. That's why he sometimes still needs
a wheelchair."
"He should be recovering soon."
"Yes! Mrs. Bourne, you want your husband to recover soon, right?"
Violette blushed and looked at his retreating back.
He seemed to have slowed down.
"Of course I want him to recover soon." Violette said, "That way he can work more and not always be
stuck at home."
She saw his back muscles suddenly tense up, and then, he turned around.
He was pissed off.
