"No problem! I can hold my liquor!"
"Same here! I can drink like a fish!"
"We can definitely take Elijah down together!"
Mike grinned as he read the group's boasts.
Why did he invite Elijah to the party? This was his true intention.
Messing with Violette meant messing with him.
He couldn't fight Elijah head-on, but he was confident they could drink him under the table!
Later that night...
Grace asked Elijah to bring Sarah to Old Manor for dinner.
After they arrived at Old Manor, they all sat down for dinner.
"Dr. Sarah, if you have time, you should come over more often," Grace said with a smile. "Elijah is usually busy, so he might not have much time to spend with you."
Sarah nodded, "Sure, as long as you don't mind me being around, I'll come over more often."
"Why would I mind? You're so talented; I'd be thrilled to have you around!"
After the pleasant dinner, Grace called Elijah into her room for a private chat.
"Elijah, you and Dr. Sarah are a good match. You're not getting any younger, so maybe you should consider getting engaged?" Grace suggested.
"I don't want to think about marriage until Makayla's illness is cured," Elijah replied, looking for an excuse.
"Getting married and Makayla's treatment aren't mutually exclusive!"
"I want Makayla to be there when I get married."
"She can be there now! Didn't you say she's recovering well after her last surgery?"
Elijah shook his head.
