Elijah glanced toward the office front door. Violette had driven off.
“Uh... sorry about that! | thought you were the one who made her cry!” Mike directed him toward the elevator, holding his arm. “I'll buy you a cup of coffee! She asked us not to bother her. It’s best to leave her alone for now.”
Elijah furrowed his brows. “You really don’t know what's going on with her?”
Mike replied, “I have no clue! She seemed perfectly fine when she came to work this morning. Otherwise, | would not think you upset her.”
Elijah followed Mike into the elevator.
“Do you know how she get the two billion?” Elijah posed this question. “She paid me back two billion today. As far as | know, her two companies don’t currently have such a lot of money.”
Mike said, “You came looking for her just to ask this?” “Yes.”
“| don’t know!” Mike, of course, wasn’t going to tell him the truth. “She doesn’t share much with me anymore. She thinks I’ve joined your side because I’ve been hanging out with Joey.”
Elijah’s sharp gaze landed on his face, not moving away. Mike, unnerved by his gaze, swiftly changed the topic. “You are with
Melinda now. You’re just trying to piss Violette off, aren't you? Aren’t you afraid of causing her any harm? After all, she’s pregnant
now. “So you're implying that even though she dumped me, | still have to remain celibate for her sake?” Elijah countered.
“Even if you can’t remain single for her, it’s still too soon to hook up with Melinda. Don’t you think? Can’t you wait until after she’s given birth?”
“Why do you think she would care who | date?”
“Why do you think she wouldn't?”
“She dumped me!” Elijah gritted his teeth. “If she cared, why would she dump me?!” The anger radiating off him made Mike swallow hard.
The elevator arrived at the designated floor. With a ‘ding’, the door opened. The two men stepped out of the elevator and went into Mike's office.
“Elijah, have you ever considered why she wanted to break up?” Mike asked him, closing the office door.
“She blames me for signing the surgery risk consent form without her agreement. She blames me for not putting the baby first.” He stated the reason for their breakup logically. “She doesn’t think I’d become a good father, so she doesn’t want to raise the child with me.”
Mike frowned. “You're right and also wrong. Even if she doesn’t trust you, she still loves you! She broke up with you because she was afraid something might go wrong with the baby and she wants to bear the consequences alone!”
Elijah smirked sarcastically. “Did she say that?”
“Why the hell are you laughing? What's so funny?!” Mike cursed. “If Makayla’s condition were not good now, she’d probably still be locked up in your golden cage! If something were to happen to your child with Violette, would you also lock up this ‘flawed’ child and keep him from the outside world?!”
Mike’s words caused Elijah’s face to darken instantly. “I kept Makayla in a golden cage? Is that how you feel about me?!”
“What do you mean by ‘how you feel about me’? Isn't that the truth?! Who knew about Makayla b fore fet {t\ an-impprovetl You kept her miacill hidden from the outside world because you were embarrassed by her, weren't you!” Mike's tone intensified. Please read the original content at NovelDrama.Org.

Elijah clenched his fists. There was a chill in his eyes. His lips moved slightly as if to explain, but he choked on his words, unable to utter a single one.
