Chapter 536

Joey understood him, and he always had his back, just like Mike would always have Violette's, no matter what.

2 a.m. A sleek, black Rolls-Royce glided into the driveway of the Bourne family mansion.

Inside the living room, lights were blazing.

Elijah stepped out of the car and Lacey was right there to greet him and fill him in, "Sir, what happened with Violette? Ian called around ten tonight and took Makayla away."

At the mention of Ian's name, a fresh wave of pain hit Elijah. Violette didn't just leave him, she left their kids too.

"Sir, it's late. You need to catch some Z's," Lacey suggested, taking in Elijah's gloomy expression and deciding not to push her luck.

He was like a zombie, dragging himself to his bedroom. His gaze swept over the empty bed and thoughts of Violette's determined departure flooded his mind. He started doubting if they ever really made up. Maybe everything that happened was just his imagination!

He had only ever seen Violette took the initiative in his dreams. So it was all a lie. But the pain in his heart was more real than any nightmare.

Time ticked away, and before long, dawn began to break.

7 a.m. A car pulled up in front of the Bourne mansion. Makayla stepped out. Lacey saw her and hurried over to ask, "Makayla, what the hell happened? Is Violette not home? Where did she go?"

Makayla replied, "Violette went to B Country. Is Elijah home?"

Lacey was taken aback, "Yeah, he is. He got home real late last night and is probably still asleep."

Ignoring Lacey, Makayla headed upstairs. As she reached the second floor, Elijah's door swung open. He had been up all night, his eyes were red and the smell of smoke wafted from his room.

Makayla looked at the haggard and morose man in front of her, a flicker of fear in her heart.

"Makayla, how are Rita and Ian?" Elijah broke the silence, his voice hoarse from lack of sleep.

Makayla gathered her courage and suggested, "Let's go find Violette!"

"Did the kids put you up to this?" Elijah's eyes were icy, his voice even colder.

Chapter 2341 He'd thought about going after her, but every time he remembered her cold attitude towards him, he'd squash the idea. Humiliating himself wouldn't earn him a second glance from her!

Knowing she can't fool him, Makayla moved closer and grabbed his arm. "Rita and Ian are really struggling. Rita kept waking up crying last night. She wanted to find her mom. I promised her I'd take her to find her mom, only then did she calm down."

The image of Rita's cute face popped into Elijah's mind. His hardened heart wavered. "Where are they now?" he asked, his voice low.

"In our backyard."

A wave of anxiety washed over Elijah and he headed back into his room to freshen up.

Ian and Rita stood quietly in the yard, looking serious, a stark contrast to the blazing sun overhead.

"Do you think Elijah will take us to find mom?" Rita's eyes were still swollen from crying so much the night before.

Ian's voice was cold, "If he doesn't go find mom, then as far as we're concerned, he might as well not exist."
