Chapter 536
Joey understood him, and he always had his back, just like Mike would always have Violette's, no
matter what.
2 a.m. A sleek, black Rolls-Royce glided into the driveway of the Bourne family mansion. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Inside the living room, lights were blazing.
Elijah stepped out of the car and Lacey was right there to greet him and fill him in, "Sir, what happened
with Violette? Ian called around ten tonight and took Makayla away."
At the mention of Ian's name, a fresh wave of pain hit Elijah. Violette didn't just leave him, she left their
kids too.
"Sir, it's late. You need to catch some Z's," Lacey suggested, taking in Elijah's gloomy expression and
deciding not to push her luck.
He was like a zombie, dragging himself to his bedroom. His gaze swept over the empty bed and
thoughts of Violette's determined departure flooded his mind. He started doubting if they ever really
made up. Maybe everything that happened was just his imagination!
He had only ever seen Violette took the initiative in his dreams. So it was all a lie. But the pain in his
heart was more real than any nightmare.
Time ticked away, and before long, dawn began to break.
7 a.m. A car pulled up in front of the Bourne mansion. Makayla stepped out. Lacey saw her and hurried
over to ask, "Makayla, what the hell happened? Is Violette not home? Where did she go?"
Makayla replied, "Violette went to B Country. Is Elijah home?"
Lacey was taken aback, "Yeah, he is. He got home real late last night and is probably still asleep."
Ignoring Lacey, Makayla headed upstairs. As she reached the second floor, Elijah's door swung open.
He had been up all night, his eyes were red and the smell of smoke wafted from his room.
Makayla looked at the haggard and morose man in front of her, a flicker of fear in her heart.
"Makayla, how are Rita and Ian?" Elijah broke the silence, his voice hoarse from lack of sleep.
Makayla gathered her courage and suggested, "Let's go find Violette!"
"Did the kids put you up to this?" Elijah's eyes were icy, his voice even colder.
He'd thought about going after her, but every time he remembered her cold attitude towards him, he'd
squash the idea. Humiliating himself wouldn't earn him a second glance from her!
"In our backyard."
A wave of anxiety washed over Elijah and he headed back into his room to freshen up.
Ian and Rita stood quietly in the yard, looking serious, a stark contrast to the blazing sun overhead.
Ian's voice was cold, "If he doesn't go find mom, then as far as we're concerned, he might as well not
exist."
