Chapter 586

She watched the hurt and anger etched onto his face, suddenly at a loss for words. He was convinced, she and Kylee were more than just friends.

She would also misunderstand if she thought in his shoes. Under what circumstances would a woman accept a man’s credit card? Certainly, it would be when they were in a very intimate relationship, to the point of being inseparable. Even during the sweetest phase of her relationship with Elijah, she had never accepted his credit cards.

Her train of thoughts halted abruptly as she noticed the brimming tears in his eyes. She felt as if someone was strangling her, and she was struggling for breath, desperately trying to defend herself. “Elijah... he only left his card with me for safekeeping... I never spent his money...”

“Is that so?” He clenched the card tightly in his hand. “In that case, I’ll return it to him for you.”

After saying that, he stood up, propping the fallen clothes rack back up.

He opened the door and was greeted by the faces of Mike and the two kids. His expression was icy as he passed them without a word. Then he strode downstairs.

“Mom! Did he bully you?” Rita rushed into the room, looking up at her mother’s face.

Violette forced a smile, hanging her bag on the clothes rack. “No, he wouldn’t dare to bully me when you’re around.”

“Violette, I heard everything.” Mike walked in. His expression was somber. “Is there something wrong with the baby?” No wonder she had been crying all morning.

Violette feigned calmness. “Not necessarily! There is a risk, but we’ll have to wait for the results.”

“Oh, well, don’t be too stressed.” Mike comforted. “I talked to a doctor, and they said babies aren’t as fragile as we think. Especially after the first trimester, problems are generally unlikely.”

“Violette, I argued with him today. I told him everything.” Mike stood in front of Violette, awkwardly scratching his head.

Violette frowned. “What did you say?”

“Uhm... I accused him of pretending to care for Makayla when he actually looked down on her.” Mike paused. “I also said that you still love him. I asked him to break up with Melinda... at least, wait until after the baby is born.”

Violette looked puzzled. “Jesus! Who told you to say that?! He must think I told you to say that! No wonder he just...”

No wonder he kissed her!

She covered her mouth, wishing the ground would open up and swallow her whole.

“Don’t overthink. Your job now is to take good care of yourself.” Mike reassured her. “You think he doesn’t know you still love him? He’s not a fool, nor are we.”

“I’m the fool, okay?” Violette pushed Mike towards the door. “Just go! I don’t want to see you right now.”

Mike immediately left the room with the two kids.

Violette felt as if she had been drained. She lay down on the bed, with her hand resting on her swollen belly. Elijah’s tear-covered face was still vivid in her mind.

Despite her reluctance to admit, every time she saw him in pain, she would soften. No matter how deep the grudge was, the sight of his vulnerability would instantly break down her defenses.

Such a dominant man would never shed tears easily unless he was genuinely hurt.

She held her breath. He reacted so strongly just because she accepted Kylee’s card. What would happen if she married another man in the future?

He could have an ambiguous relationship with Melinda. Why couldn’t she be with another man?

Two hours later, a scandal broke out on social media.

Elijah, the CEO of Bourne Group, publicly slapped a young woman in a hotel!

Accompanying the scandal was a screenshot from a surveillance video. From the screenshot, one could clearly see Elijah hitting a woman.

Regardless of social status, any man who hits a woman and is exposed will inevitably stir up a storm of public opinion!
