Chapter 54
Violette could smell the alcohol on him, mixed with a faint scent of tobacco.
Suddenly, she noticed a crowd of people behind Brandon, one after another taking out their phones
and snapping pictures in her direction.
They were probably with Brandon.
She shoved Elijah away forcefully.
But she was afraid he would fall, so she quickly grabbed his arm.
The driver noticed and came over to help.
Together, they helped Elijah onto the back seat.
After Violette buckled him in, the driver handed her a bottle of water.
Violette was sweating bullets, took the water, and had a sip.
Driver: "The water's for Mr. Bourne."
Violette blushed, immediately handed the water to Elijah and asked, "Do you want some water?"
He closed his eyes, his brows furrowed as if he was uncomfortable.
He didn't respond to her question.
Either he didn't hear her or he didn't want to answer.
The driver gave Violette a suggestion: "You should feed him."
Violette frowned in discomfort.
She placed her hand on the back of his neck, trying to lift his head. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
But as soon as her fingers touched his skin, his eyes flew open.
She quickly withdrew her hand, picked up the water bottle, tilted her head back, and started drinking.
Elijah watched her profile, remembering the divorce plan on her computer.
He wondered how she planned to implement it.
The car moved smoothly, and an eerie atmosphere started to spread between them.
Violette noticed Elijah's gaze fixed on her from the corner of her eye and instantly felt nervous.
She quickly finished the bottle of water.
He snatched the empty bottle from her hand and threw it aside.
With a 'clang', the silence was broken.
"Because I asked you to abort the child, you want to divorce me," his voice came coldly.
She couldn't avoid it and could only respond, "Elijah, it's your right not wanting a child, but you can't
deprive me of my right to be a mother. I want my own child, I want to be a mother. You tell me, how can
I have my own child without divorcing you?"
This question loomed between them, an unresolved issue that would always prick at their hearts.
"Why do you have to have a child? Do you just love having children that much?!" He growled, his eyes
burning with rage.
Violette clenched her teeth, her emotions ignited.
If she wasn't pregnant now, she could be okay without having a child.
But she was pregnant, she had to be responsible for her child.
"Why are you so against having children? You don't have to give birth to them or take care of them!
Can't you even stand them?!" Violette's voice was louder than his.
The driver was stunned.
Where did Violette get the guts to argue with Elijah?
Did she really think that Elijah could tolerate her indefinitely?
Just when the driver thought Elijah would react, nothing happened in the back seat.
After a moment, Violette calmed down a bit.
She blinked back tears and broke the silence, "Everyone has their own secrets, it's okay as long as
there are no regrets. There's no point in arguing."
"Violette, don't think I can't live without you." His voice was icy, making him seem heartless.
Violette: "Elijah, you and I are from two different worlds, one in the sky and one the ground. I never
thought I could stand by your side as an equal."
"Who's in the sky and who's the ground?" He asked seriously.
This question left Violette a bit stunned.
She didn't answer his question.
The car was filled with the scent of alcohol.
Enduring the discomfort, she rolled down the window.
