"Let's have lunch together!" Elijah invited her.
Violette looked up at him: "Have you been waiting outside the whole time?"
Elijah didn't deny it.
He would have left long ago if he wasn't waiting for her here.
Violette glanced at the sun.
Although it was early autumn and the temperature wasn't that hot, the midday sun was still quite scorching.
"Where's Makayla?" she asked.
Elijah glanced towards the parking lot: "She's in the car."
"Oh... You guys go ahead! My mom cooked, so I'll eat at home." Violette didn't hesitate to reject him.
Who knew what Elijah was thinking. He
actually wanted her to eat with Makayla?
Didn't he feel awkward?
Even if he wanted to date three people at the same time, he didn't have to be so direct about it!
"I booked a restaurant nearby." Elijah didn't get discouraged by her refusal, "I have to take Makayla to school later, and you have to take Ian to school too, right? Let's eat together and then take them to school."
Violette pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and refused again: "We'll eat at home. I'll take the kid to school after he takes his nap."
Elijah saw that talking nicely wouldn't work, so he deliberately said: "It's just a meal, what are you afraid of? Can't we eat together after the divorce? Or do you still have feelings for me, so you can't face me?"
Violette was shocked and so pissed off by his words.
She tried to maintain her composure, holding Ian's hand, and walked boldly towards the nearby restaurant.
Elijah went to the car to get Makayla.
After the four of them sat down in the restaurant, they started to order.
At this moment, no one was talking at the table, and the atmosphere was a bit eerie.
Violette ordered and handed the menu to Elijah
, who took the menu and handed it to Makayla, letting her order.
