Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom

Chapter 604

Daylight came swiftly.

A bombshell news piece swiftly took over the headlines of major websites!

[Elijah: I didn't blacklist Kylee.]

The headline was straightforward and eye-catching!

Clicking on the headline revealed the full news article. The main body of the text wasn't long, but the content was crystal clear. Elijah stated that he was not familiar with Kylee and had not blacklisted him. He never did, and he never would.

The big brands that had cut their contracts with Kylee were dumbfounded! What did this mean? Why did Elijah change his mind?

Elijah's phone was ringing off the hook, but it didn't bother him while he slept because his phone was off.

With no way to reach Elijah, everyone started calling Joey. Joey had a hangover from drinking the night before. The ringing phone only made his headache worse.

The news added to his migraine. "What news? Fake news, right?! There's no way my boss would say something like that!" Joey sat up, looking for his glasses. "Don't panic just yet. I'll find out what's going on and get back to you."

After hanging up, Joey put on his glasses and casually opened a news app. Once he fully comprehended the news, his brow furrowed, and he was left speechless.

"What's up?" Mike asked, noticing his friend's stillness and sitting up as well.

Joey showed him the news. "Violette must have gone to see my boss last night. This news release couldn't possibly have been instigated by him. He would never deny anything he had done; it's just not his style."

Mike glanced at the news and replied indifferently, "So you're saying Violette released this news?"

"Right." Joey rubbed his temples. "This is so awkward... the brands that cut off Kylee are all dumbfounded. They must think my boss has a split personality."

Mike could hardly contain his laughter. "Why should you care if your boss gets embarrassed... besides, he brought this upon himself. I can only say, he deserves it!"

"Get lost! I need to think of something," Joey retorted, then tried to call Elijah.

“Why is Violette’s phone off too? I’m starting to think she spent the night at my boss’ house.” To confirm his suspicion, Joey dialed Elijah’s landline.

Lacey picked up.

“Lacey, did Violette come over last night?” Joey asked.

“Yes, they’re both still sleeping!” Lacey laughed.

Joey’s face flushed. “Alright, got it.”

In the master bedroom of the Bourne residence.

The sunlight streamed through the windows, and Elijah slowly opened his eyes. He could smell Violette’s distinctive scent.

He stared at her peaceful sleeping face, and his heart softened. He loved the way she looked, so quiet and obedient. If only she could always stay by his side just like this.

His fingers instinctively touched her cheek. The moment his fingertips brushed her skin, her brow furrowed slightly. She let out a soft grunt, seemingly in protest.

Not wanting to wake her, he withdrew his hand. As he pulled the blanket over her, he looked at her swollen belly. His heart felt like it was melting.

Inside, was their son. He was eagerly anticipating the arrival of the little one. He would strive to be a good father. He didn’t actually dislike children. He was just afraid that his child might inherit his illness. Therefore, he would rather not have a child than pass on the pain to him. This was a pain he could never share.

After tucking Violette in, he swung his long legs off the bed and got up.

After freshening up, he went downstairs for breakfast.

Seeing Elijah in good spirits, Lacey smiled and said, “Joey called a while ago.”
