Chapter 283
Makayla was scared of her brother's serious expression. She realized she couldn't hide it any longer,
lowered her head, and kept quiet.
Silverleaf Ridge.
Mike was bragging in the living room about how high his alcohol tolerance was, he easily got Joey
drunk, and how he spun lies to fool Joey.
"Violette, I'm pretty awesome, huh?" Mike sought praise, "Joey must've run off to report to his boss!
Don't worry, there's no way Elijah will suspect you."
Violette peeled an apple and handed it to him, "You're finally showing some smarts."
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean? I've always been smart, okay?" Mike took the apple and bit it
with a vengeance, "I just don't like to think too much. But once I get thinking, even Sherlock Holmes is
no match for me."
At that moment, Rita walked over with a picture album.
"Mom, who is this handsome guy? I really like him!"
Rita came out of Violette's room.
Violette glanced at the album in her daughter's hands and immediately put down the fruit knife.
"Rita, why are you going through Mom's stuff again?" Violette took the album and closed it.
It was Kylee's photo collection.
Violette was his fan.
"Mom!" Rita looked aggrieved, "Why won't you let me see? I like handsome guys too!"
Ian glanced at the album and teased, "Fangirl."
"You're calling Mom a fangirl too since she likes him." Rita argued.
Ian couldn't win the argument and went back to his room.
Rita snuggled in Violette's arms, acting cute, "Mom, when you look for a boyfriend in the future, find
one like this handsome guy! If you bring back someone this handsome, Grandma and I definitely won't
object."
Albina couldn't help but laugh.
Violette felt a headache coming and was about to lecture her daughter when the doorbell suddenly
rang.
It was nine at night.
No one besides Odette usually visited.
But Odette never came here at night.
Mike had already walked to the door and looked out through the peephole.
"Uh-oh! Violette, your ex-husband is here!" Mike didn't dare open the door and hurried back to the living
room, "And he brought his little sidekick."
Little sidekick?
Violette handed Rita to Albina.
Albina immediately took Rita back to her room.
"Makayla... came too." Mike whispered to Violette.
Violette frowned.
What was Elijah doing bringing Makayla here so late?
She went to the door and opened it.
Before she could say anything, Elijah asked Makayla, "Is this the place?"
Makayla peeked into the room.
After seeing Violette's serious face, she pursed her lips and didn't dare speak.
Elijah held her hand as they walked past Violette and into the living room.
"Elijah..." Violette took a deep breath and followed him.
"Shut up!" Elijah snapped, cutting her off, "Violette, Makayla went missing earlier. Was she here with
you?!"
Violette: "..."
He finally found out. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Seeing her reaction, Elijah felt certain of the answer.
A chill rose from the bottom of his heart.
"How did she get here? Why didn't you tell me?" Elijah walked up to her, staring her coldly, continuing
to question, "Did you find it amusing to watch me panic like a madman?!"
