Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom

Chapter 370

After the network in the Bourne Group was back to normal, Joey knocked on Elijah's office door.

"The IT security team asked me to give you this," Joey said, handing over a stack of papers.

Elijah glanced at the documents and asked, "What's this?"

"…It seems like it's some virus code Ian wrote," Joey scanned briefly, then didn't dare to look anymore. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Elijah opened the file and was immediately greeted by a line of bold, capitalized writing within the

jumble of code: 'Elijah is a dummy'.

His face instantly turned red.

He flipped to the second page – 'Elijah drives into a river!'

The third page – 'Elijah runs out of toilet paper!'

The fourth page – 'Elijah chokes on a piece of bread!'

…

Elijah picked up the stack of papers and fed them to the shredder. His face wasn't looking too good, but

he didn't react further. After all, Ian was only four years old. He wasn't about to get worked up over a

kid.

Just then, there was a knock and the office door opened. Brandon was standing at the door, "Elijah,

let's grab some lunch."

Joey gave Brandon a meaningful look.

Brandon walked in and asked, "What's up?"

Joey moved closer to him and whispered, "Violette's kid, he's one heck of a pest."

"Oh...speaking of which, I'm peeved too!" Brandon complained, "Isn't that kid only four? How is he so

talented? It makes our IT guys look like a bunch of dummies!"

Brandon's comment left an awkward silence. After all, their IT team was filled with cream-of-the-crop

talents.

Joey: "Probably because Ian's mentor is quite the whiz."

Brandon: "Oh, you mean Mike?"

Joey's face turned a shade of red. He didn't want to continue the topic, so he left first.

Brandon and Elijah went to a restaurant near the company.

"You guys had a BBQ at Violette's yesterday? Why didn't you invite me?" Brandon sounded a tad sour

after ordering his food.

"Do you know why Ian messed with our network?" Elijah asked calmly.

Brandon: "He can't stand you, duh!"

Elijah: "I went there by myself yesterday. No one invited me."

Brandon looked surprised, "Elijah, when did you become so shameless?"

"I wanted to know why Violette was in such high spirits." He picked up the teacup and took a sip.

People usually invited friends over for a BBQ when they were in a good mood.

"So, did you find out why after going there last night?"

He shook his head, "They weren't exactly thrilled to see me."

Brandon felt a pang of sympathy, "If they don't welcome you, don't go next time. Whatever you want to

eat, I'll treat you."

"Their displeasure doesn't affect my mood." He put down the teacup, looking unfazed.

Seeing the calmness on his face, Brandon laughed, "You couldn't resist seeing Violette, could you?

Your called-off engagement was also because of her, wasn't it?"

"You're mistaken," he corrected, "The real reason is that I don't love Sarah."

"Though I'm not particularly fond of Sarah, I do feel sorry for her this time. She lost you and her child.

Don't you feel anything for that baby? After all, that was your flesh and blood. If she hadn't had an

abortion, the baby would be born in a few months," Brandon said sympathetically.

Elijah's face remained expressionless, his voice icy and devoid of emotion, "If I must have a child, I

certainly wouldn't want it to be borne by another woman."
