Chapter 440

His answer left Brandon gobsmacked.

"So you've moved on?" Brandon jested, "You should've done that ages ago. You know what she told Joey? She said that since you've returned her white sweater, she'll wear it whenever she damn well pleases. Can't argue with that. But she did mention she might wear it on future dates."

Elijah's knuckles turned white as he gripped his fork, "You think I care?"

Brandon said, "I was just trying to help you forget her."

"Then why bring her up?" His gaze was icy as it swept over Brandon's face, "Don't talk to me about her anymore. Not interested."

"Well, thank God! I was worried you were still hung up on her." Brandon breathed a sigh of relief, "Too bad you can't drink. Guess I'll be drinking alone then."

He sauntered over to the mini bar and grabbed a bottle of red wine.

Elijah quickly finished his meal, put down his fork and spoon, and left the dining room.

Brandon, holding his wine glass, frowned in dissatisfaction, "Hey! Keep me company for a bit! Eating alone is such a drag!"

Elijah strode towards Makayla's room. He hadn't slept the previous night and only woke up in the afternoon. After waking up, he heard from Lacey that Makayla wasn't feeling great. She skipped class and barely ate anything.

He had peeked into her room earlier. She was asleep then, so he couldn't ask her why she was upset.

Now it was dinner time and it was getting dark, she needed to stop sleeping If she kept sleeping, she would be up all night.

He pushed open Makayla's door, only to find her eyes open. Her bright eyes were fixed on something. He had no idea what she was thinking about, but he felt a pang of sorrow.

"Makayla." He sat by her bed, gazing at her distant face, he gently said, "Time to get up for dinner."

Makayla raised her hand to clasp his and asked, "Elijah, your mom is my mom too, right?"

Elijah's gaze flickered, "I heard you went out with Elisa this morning. You guys went to the station, weren't you scared?"

"Elijah, your mom is my mom too, right?" Makayla seemed to ignore his question and persisted.

Chapter 2341 "Uh-huh." Elijah clearly felt that Makayla was different than usual.

She rarely asked questions before, let alone sensitive ones like these. But now, not only did she ask, she was persistent.

"Why didn't you take me to mom's funeral?" Makayla began to believe what Marta had told her after getting confirmation from Elijah.

"Because there were a lot of people at the funeral. You didn't like crowded places before, so I was afraid you'd be scared." Elijah looked into her eyes, "You're not scared of crowded places now, are you?"

Makayla bravely nodded.

Elijah was pleasantly surprised by her change, "Then next time, I'll take you to a crowded place, okay?"

"But you're still sick." Makayla sat up from her bed, "Elijah, I'm hungry."

Elijah helped her out of bed and took her to the dining room. Brandon saw Makayla coming and quickly put the wine bottle aside.

"Makayla, I heard you weren't feeling well, what's wrong? Did you call a doctor?" Brandon expressed his concern.

Makayla shook her head, picked up her fork, and quietly began to eat.

Elijah went to the living room and dialed a number.
