Chapter 82
Given the chance to do it all over again, he'd still go for it.
He was never Mr. Perfect.
Violette's entry into his life made him reflect on his actions and strive to correct them.
Without those misunderstandings and fights, his feelings for her would never have taken root.
Odette chased after Violette out of the restaurant and grabbed her arm.
"Violette, I can't believe you got hitched with Elijah! That's some hot gossip right there!" Odette was
dizzy with excitement.
Violette choked up, "As you can see, he's been making a fool out of me." Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Ramsey wanted to help you, but he was too shy to step in. That's why all this happened." Odette
thought things didn't have to blow up this much, "Violette, let's go back in! Hear him out..."
Violette let go of Odette's hand, her voice firm and cold, "You go back! I need some alone time."
She hailed a cab and left without a backward glance.
Odette turned to go back to the restaurant and bumped into Elijah coming out.
He was moving fast, probably in a rush to chase Violette.
Odette pointed him in the right direction, "She took a cab that way."
Elijah nodded and strode off towards the parking lot.
Once Elijah was gone, Ramsey stepped out.
He walked up to Odette, giving her a reproachful look, "Traitor!"
Odette's cheeks flushed, but she lifted her chin defiantly, "We've known each other for what, a few
days? Of course I'd side with my bestie."
Ramsey sneered, "I'm suspecting that you're with me to sniff out info!"
Odette didn't blink, "Yep! Now that the info-gathering's done, if you still want to date me, go ahead. If
not, let's call it quits! We've only known each other for a few days anyway. If you want to break up,
better do it now, while we're still not too attached."
Ramsey took a deep breath, wanting to say something but holding back.
He didn't really want to break up. But he didn't want her to see how much he cared for her either.
"You can't break up with me until Elijah and Violette make up! You have to help them patch things up."
Ramsey made his demand, "This is a mess you created!"
Odette denied it outright, "What's that got to do with me? I wasn't the one who lied to her!"
"Didn't you notice she was wearing lipstick today? I've met her a few times and she never dresses up.
Women dress to please. She must have put on that lipstick today to impress Elijah." Ramsey
speculated, "If it weren't for you playing secret agent, the two of them would be getting along just fine
by now!"
Odette was almost swayed by his twisted logic.
"Elijah really treats her well. A man pays off your two-billion-dollar debt, wouldn't you be moved?"
Ramsey asked.
Odette nodded, "Yes, that's moving. But Violette is not unreasonable. If she's mad, she has her
reasons. I still support Violette."
Ramsey facepalmed.
Odette pulled his hand down, reminding him, "Ramsey, you're my boyfriend, you have to back me up!
As for Violette and Elijah, it's like an egg against a rock. What's there to pity about Elijah the rock?"
Ramsey was at a loss for words.
"I'm hungry, let's go eat!" Odette pulled him towards the restaurant.
Violette took a cab to her mom's place.
Other than her mom's, she had nowhere else to go.
Albina saw her daughter's ashen face and icy demeanour, and immediately pulled her to sit on the
sofa.
"What happened? Did you fight with Elijah?"
If Violette wasn't engaged in a disagreement with Elijah, and assuming she was upset about
something, it would make more sense for her to address it directly with the Bourne family instead of
seeking solace elsewhere.
