Violette listened to him, frowning.
"What do you mean 'that blonde guy'? He has a name!" Violette corrected him. "Do you even know how to respect people?"
Elijah: "Respect? You want to talk about respect? We're not even divorced yet, and you're with that blonde guy. Have you guys respected me?"
"Get it straight, I gave you the divorce papers four years ago. It's you who refused to sign it!"
"As long as I haven't signed, we're still married! How dare you cheat on me?" Elijah questioned her.
Violette looked at his serious face, almost believing she really cheated.
"When did I admit that I was with him before our divorce?" Violette countered. "It's all your speculation! You're the one who's insisting on becoming a cuckold, and you blame me?"
Elijah took a deep breath, trying to calm down. "What's the blonde guy's name?"
"Why do you want to know his name?" Violette asked cautiously.
"You said I don't respect him! If you don't tell me his name, how can I respect him?!"
"Oh... even if I tell you his name, you won't respect him." Violette didn't want to tell him for fear that he'd look into Mike's information. "Elijah, you already have a new girlfriend. Since we both have new lives, let's not get tangled up with each other!"
Just as Violette finished speaking, Elijah's phone rang.
He took it out and glanced at the screen.
It was Sarah calling. Today was her birthday, and
Sarah invited him to dinner tonight.
Since she said it was her first birthday after returning home, Elijah agreed.
Sarah had arrived at the agreed restaurant and was calling to ask when he'd arrive.
He stared at the screen, hesitating for a moment.
Violette saw the name on his screen and turned to leave.
He grabbed her arm, not letting her go.
He wasn't done talking to her.
Even if they were divorced, he couldn't watch her fall!
