"I told you, he's into you, right?" Mike sat nearby, listening to their conversation loud and clear, "If you like him too, you guys could get together tonight!"
"He's too young, and young people tend to act on impulse." Violette explained, "I was once young too."
Mike said, "I know! When you were young, you acted on impulse towards Elijah, that's why you're still paying for it."
Violette fell silent.
"Violette, don't check Twitter." Mike gently patted her head, "The people online are just too uncouth! The things they're saying about you are downright nasty! Don't take any of it to heart."
"I haven't been on Twitter." Violette said calmly, "Even if I did, it wouldn't affect me. I'm mentally strong enough."
"Good!" Mike glanced at the time, "Joey invited me for late-night snacks, I'm heading out first! Call me if anything happens."
"Get going then! But don't drink!"
"I know. I promise not to drink tonight." After Mike reassured her several times, he grabbed his car keys and left.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Violette turned off the lights in the children's room.
After her footsteps had faded away, Rita tugged at Ian's arm.
"Ian, mom turned down Kylee, I'm kind of upset. Why doesn't mom like Kylee? I really like Kylee. He's so handsome, I wish he was my dad."
Rita was conflicted and began to complain. She didn't dare to say these things in front of her mom. Because she knew she couldn't influence her mom's decisions.
Ian's reaction to this was very indifferent.
Although Kylee was very handsome and had helped their mom, he felt that there was nobody in this world who was truly worthy of their mom.
"You go for it."
A string of question marks flashed across Rita's mind: "Ian, what are you talking about? I don't get it."
......
Before going to bed, Elijah glanced at his phone and another news popped up.
-- Kylee openly admited Violette was his goddess!
He clenched his teeth, clicked on the news and saw the tweet Kylee had posted.
Goddess?
This shameless guy was practically shouting ‘Violette, I love you’! But it seemed that Violette wasn't fooled by him, otherwise the content of Kylee's tweet would be - Yes, I am officially with Violette!
Elijah's brow furrowed, and a sense of crisis that he couldn't put into words suddenly rose in his heart.
Unable to control himself, he sent Violette a message. This was the first contact between them since he got injured.
