Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 10

In an instant, the living room became super quiet, like a pin drop could be heard.

Violette stormed back to her room, slamming the door behind her.

BAM!

The whole villa seemed to shake.

Dang, this woman really didnn't give a crap, slamming doors in Elijah's house.

Everyone sneakily checked Elijah's expression, but he seemed calm and not angry at all.

Usually, if someone made noise in front of him, he would definitely frown.

Violette's door-slamming was deafening. How come he wasn't mad?

More importantly, the wine bottle Violette smashed just now was worth almost 300 grand, and they hadn't even had a chance to drink it.

She smashed it just like that, with no hesitation at all.

"I heard Ms. Dennis's father passed away a couple of days ago. She was wearing all black today, so she probably just got back from his funeral," someone bravely broke the silence.

The woman in the white dress was Melinda Marcia, a senior manager of the PR department at the Bourne Group.

It was her birthday today, and she had invited Elijah's friends to celebrate his awakening at the Bourne family home.

Her confrontation with Violette earlier had left her feeling humiliated.

Seeing Elijah's calm expression, but knowing him well enough to realize he could turn on her at any moment, Melinda cautiously apologized, "Elijah, I'm sorry. I didn't know Violette's father had passed away."

Elijah crushed his cigarette in the ashtray. His slender fingers picked up the wine glass, and he downed the contents in one go. As the glass hit the table, his sexy, deep voice said, "Happy birthday."

Melinda's ears turned red, "Thank you."

"Also, Violette is not someone you can just slap around." Elijah's slender fingers adjusted his shirt collar, his voice containing a warning, "Even if she's just a servant in the Bourne family, only I can mess with her."

Melinda felt suffocated, "But you're going to divorce her soon, and then she'll be even worse off than your servant!"

Elijah's gaze instantly turned colder, "Even if I don't want her, I won't let others trample on her dignity."

At this point, Lacey came over and cleaned up the broken wine bottle and stained blanket.

Elijah's wine glass was refilled.

"Elijah, don't be mad. Melinda didn't mean it, and she wouldn't really hurt Violette," said someone sitting on the other side of Elijah, trying to smooth things over.

"Yeah! Melinda, you better apologize quickly! Even though it's your birthday, you really went too far just now!"

Melinda raised her wine glass, downed the whole thing, and apologized to Elijah again.

Elijah glanced at his bodyguard

, who immediately came over and helped him up.

"You guys keep drinking!" After saying this, he went back to his room.

Melinda watched his determined retreating figure, her eyes turned red. She downed the rest of the wine bottle and left.

"Wow! The two main characters of the birthday party are gone. Are we still going to drink?"

"Of course! It's good for Melinda to give up. Otherwise, she'll always think she'll become Mrs. Bourne!"

"Tonight's events might not necessarily make her give up! After all, Elijah plans to divorce Violette."

"Speaking of Violette, she's really good-looking. But her temper is so explosive, how can Elijah stand her?"

In the guest room.

Violette hugged her knees, tears silently streaming down her face.

The tears she had been holding back for three days finally burst out at this moment.

Her father's apology before his death echoed in her mind.

Her resentment towards him during his life vanished in an instant. She cried, and eventually falling asleep with tears on her face.

The next morning when she woke up, her eyes were swollen and painful.

After taking a shower and changing into a clean nightgown, she came out of her room.
