Chapter 516

Her words were pretty cryptic, but he got the gist of it. What she meant was, no matter if Ian and Rita were twins, or if Ian was his kid, he shouldn't have any thoughts on either of them. Only the kid in her belly was his.

According to his past temper, he would've gotten mad for sure. But he seemed to have his emotions under better control now, and he figured having a kid was better than having none.

She applied some ointment on him and got some white gauze ready to bandage him up.

"Just a band-aid will do." He said, thinking the gauze was too formal and noticeable, and worried that people might think he got seriously injured.

She ignored his suggestion and bandaged his hand with the gauze anyway.

"Don't get the wound wet for a couple of days." She instructed.

"How am I supposed to shower then?" He asked.

"Haven't you ever been injured before?" She raised an eyebrow, ready to retort, but thought better of it when she remembered he got injured by her daughter. She continued, "If you can't manage with one hand and don't want anyone’s help, just wear a waterproof glove."

Looking at his thoroughly bandaged hand, he casually asked, "When can we find out if our baby is a boy or a girl?"

"We'll know when the baby is born." She put away the medical supplies and walked to the door. "Knowing in advance won’t change anything." Violette added.

"I hope it's a girl." Elijah slowly walked up to her, expressing his wish, "Just like Rita."

"The more you want something, the less likely you are to get it." She countered on purpose, "It might be a boy."

The light in his eyes faded instantly. It was clear that he had a soft spot for daughters and he didn’t seem to like sons as much, which explained why he was so hard on Ian. If Rita had offended him instead of Ian, the outcome might have been different.

Forty minutes later, Joey drove over. Since Elijah was injured, Mike didn't expect him to cook, so he asked Joey for help.

Violette thought Mike just called Joey, but to her surprise, Odette, Ramsey, Brandon, Adrian, and Makayla all showed up too.

Violette didn't tell anyone else that Elijah was cooking at home today. She had no expectation for his cooking skills, and what if he blew up the kitchen? Hence, it was better not to make a big deal out of it. But here was Mike, calling all these people over to watch the spectacle.

Chapter 2341 "Wow! Mr. Bourne starts cooking so early?" Odette walked up to Elijah with a grin, noticing his bandaged hand. "The stove isn't even lit yet, and your hand is already cut? What's this ritual? A blood sacrifice first?" Odette asked.

Elijah was teased, but he casually retorted, "Don’t distract me."

"With your hand like that, what are you planning to do? If you stay to help, you might just get in the way, ha-ha!" Odette's laughter echoed throughout the villa.

Violette couldn't stand it anymore and dragged Odette out of the kitchen.

Elijah was adamant about cooking for her and the two kids. She couldn't convince him otherwise, so she just let him be. After all, Joey was there to help, there shouldn't be any problems.

"Violette, you didn't even tell me about this big event. Were you planning to wait until you guys remarry and get your marriage certificate?" Odette complained.

"He's just here to cook, don't overthink it." Violette peeled an orange and handed it to her.

"Hmph! You can't just fob me off with an orange. At least tell me what happened in Z City. The TV shows I watch don't even move as fast as you two!"

Odette complained while munching on the orange.

Unable to dodge Odette's questioning, Violette had no choice but to tell her about what happened in Z City. She tried to play it down and be as brief as possible.
