His face turned into a devilish figure in her eyes, stretching out sharp fangs.
"Why?" Violette struggled to speak, "Elijah, even if you don't want the baby, you don't have to be so cruel!"
Elijah's words were full of meaning, "What if you're hoping for a miracle?"
Violette took a deep breath secretly and looked away from his face.
She was scared, feeling like she was about to step into an irreversible inferno.
Her reaction piqued his curiosity.
His thin lips curled into a smirk, "Violette, you're not seriously thinking about having my baby, are you?"
Violette's eyes widened.
"You better take my warning seriously. You know what kind of person I am, and my actions will be even worse than my words. Don't cross my line." He finished and looked out the window.
Violette clenched her fingers tightly and angrily said, "Don't worry, I won't have your child. I'm sure you know how much I hate you. I just want to get a divorce as soon as possible!"
A child doesn't belong to just one person.
If she gave birth to a child, it would also be for herself.
When the child grew up, she would tell them that their father had passed away!
"It's not the right time yet. Let's wait until my mom's health gets better." Elijah's tone was much calmer, probably because her words had an effect.
He realized that he was not the man she wanted.
"We can't wait too long." She frowned, looking anxious.
If they drag it out, her belly will get bigger.
By then, she wouldn't be able to hide it, and she would definitely be forced to have an abortion.
"What's the hurry to get a divorce? Do you have something urgent?" Elijah's gaze fell on her face, trying to see through her.
Violette panicked, "No! I just... I just don't want to be with you. Hasn't anyone ever told you that being around you is suffocating?"
Elijah chuckled, "Even if people think that way, they wouldn't dare say it out loud."
Violette pouted, "Oh... No wonder you always have a problem with me. But if I don't speak my mind, I'll feel very uncomfortable."
Elijah analyzed her words and finally concluded that she misunderstood, "No man can tolerate his wife dressing up all fancy and accompanying other men."
"What's wrong with wearing a strap dress? In your eyes, socializing is just accompanying other men?" Violette retorted, "I didn't do anything wrong last night."
Their perspectives were completely different.
"So, you're saying you'd do it again?" Elijah's mouth curled up slightly, with a creepy smile.
Violette pursed her lips and instinctively shrank back, "I don't even drink, so how could I accompany others to drink?"
She wouldn't joke about the two children in her belly.
Even if her father's company went bankrupt, she wouldn't accompany people for drinks for money.
Her answer extinguished the anger in his heart.
The driver drove to Bourne Mansion.
As soon as the car stopped, Violette got out quickly.
Elijah watched her frail figure and instructed the driver, "Go to the company."
......
When the car left, Violette finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After taking a nap, she arrived at the Dennis Group at 2:30 pm.
She decided to sell her father's house, cars, and shops to pay off the debts.
She would liquidate whatever she could, pay off the debts, and then slowly look for investments.
Saying that, she took a pen and crossed out his name from the list.
He would never lend her money, and if she went to ask him, it would just be humiliating.
In the evening, on her way home, she passed by a pharmacy.
She went in, planning to buy some medicine for her bruise.
After the clerk recommended several options, she suddenly remembered a question, "Can I use this medicine if I'm pregnant?"
Clerk said, "It's best not to. Are you pregnant?"
Violette nodded.
The clerk immediately put away the medicine and picked up a few other bottles, "How many months are you? You don't look obviously pregnant yet, so you need calcium supplements. This calcium tablet is especially good!"
Half an hour later, she returned to the Bourne family with the calcium tablets.
It was past dinner time, but Lacey had saved some food for her.
"Ma’am, what kinda meds did you get?" Lacey asked since there was a pharmacy logo on the bag.
Violette hid the bag behind her back, "Uh... some stuff for my bruise."
"We've got that at home. We keep all the usual stuff around. Next time you need something, just let me know. I'll get it for you," Lacey said with a smile.
"Alright, I'm going back to my room," Violette said, and turned around, ready to leave.
But, what would she know, she bumped into Elijah.
He had come over while she was chatting with Lacey.
He had also clearly seen the meds in her bag when she hid it behind her back.
"Why're you lying?" His gaze fell on her calcium tablets, and his eyes were full of danger.
