Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom

Chapter 48

After some deep thinking, Violette started to pant heavily.

Did Elijah really like her?

Otherwise, why would he do something he himself thought was stupid?

She suddenly felt very scared!

Without realizing, her hand swept over her belly.

The baby was over three months old now. Because she had been controlling her diet, she was on the

skinny side, so much that her pregnancy wasn't noticeable yet.

At five or six months, she could still hide her belly by controlling her diet and wearing loose clothes.

But what about when she's pregnant seven, eight, nine months along?

Even the skinniest pregnant woman would be visibly pregnant in the late stages.

If she was still around Elijah then, her secret would surely be discovered.

She walked aimlessly onto the street.

Her coat was in her hand and she was only wearing a thin T-shirt. Despite the cool breeze, she didn't

feel cold.

Her feelings for Elijah were complicated.

Just like her response to him last night.

She didn't dare to say she liked him, because his past dominance and assertiveness annoyed her.

But she also didn't dare to say she didn't like him because she did have feelings for him!

She was just too shy to admit it, and too scared to admit it.

The baby in her belly was making their relationship confrontational.

To keep the baby, she had to leave him.

But people aren't machines, they can't just act according to the brain's commands.

When did she start liking him? She couldn't find the answer.

He had once forced her to have an abortion, and she hated him to the core then.

In the evening.

Violette returned to the Bourne family,

holding a gift box.

She placed the gift box on the coffee table in the living room.

"Lacey, this is for Elijah. When he comes back, make sure to tell him."

With a smile, Lacey said, "Mrs. Bourne, you're doing it right! If you make him happy, you'll be more

comfortable in this home. Even if you don't consider others, you should think about his feelings for your Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

own sake."

Lacey was right, but Violette said absentmindedly, "I'm a bit hungry."

"Dinner is ready. Why don't you eat a bit first and have dinner with him when he gets back?" Lacey

suggested.

Without hesitation, Violette shook her head, "I upset him this afternoon. For the sake of a pleasant

meal, I better not dine with him."

Lacey was speechless.

How did Mrs. Bourne upset Mr. Bourne again?

Although Mr. Bourne's temper wasn't the best, as long as things went his way, he wouldn't lose his

temper for no reason.

At the Bourne Group.

It was already time to get off work, but in the CEO's office, Elijah showed no intention of stopping work.

He came at around five in the afternoon, looking gloomy, and nobody dared to talk to him.

He didn't look for anybody either.

He just worked from five until six-thirty.

Joey called Brandon to come and help.

If Elijah didn't leave, Joey didn't dare to either.

Apart from that, seeing the boss so unhappy, Joey also felt nervous.

Weren't they supposed to go to a concert?

How come the concert hadn't ended yet but he was already back at work?

Did Violette not show up, or did they have a fallout during the concert?

Brandon, who received the call, came right away to handle the situation.

Outside the office door, Joey explained the situation to Brandon, "I'm sure Violette upset the boss. I

need to have a good talk with Violette at some point. I suspect she's being irrational because she

keeps provoking our boss."

Brandon said, "Maybe that's Violette's strategy. Sometimes, not thinking like a normal person might

bring unexpected results. Nobody around Elijah dares to upset him, but now there's someone who

keeps making him angry, he might find it refreshing."

Joey disagreed, "Brandon, nobody likes people who make them angry, unless the boss is a masochist."

Just as their conversation ended, the office door opened.

Elijah walked out from inside.

Brandon and Joey reacted quickly, immediately moving to Elijah's side to support him.
