Under the dim street light, he stood out in his light brown trench coat.
He usually wore dark clothes, so when they saw him switch up his style, everyone were pleasantly surprised.
His arrival completely changed the vibe in the yard. Odette was gritting her teeth, clenching her fists, as if she was about to punch Ramsey any second. Obviously, it was Ramsey who brought him here.
Upon seeing Elijah, Violette quickly looked away. Everything that happened last night was still fresh in her mind.
With so many people in the house tonight, she believed he wouldn't dare to pull anything.
He positioned himself as the creditor and her as the debtor. So even if she didn't invite him, he still had the guts to show up.
As they walked in from the yard gate, Odette stretched her hand and twisted Ramsey's arm. Ramsey shrugged, looking helpless. His face said it all—I was innocent! It wasn't me who brought him!
Odette nudged him towards Violette, indicating that he should apologize and explain to her. He strode next to Violette.
"Violette, your nails look really nice! Same as Odette’s, right?" Ramsey said, forcing a smile and looking at her nails.
Joey made room for Elijah to sit. After he sat down, he looked at Violette's hand, having heard Ramsey's words.
Under the orange light, her nails looked like cat's eyes, clear and sparkling, with a mysterious and captivating glow.
After Ramsey said that to ease the tension, he leaned into Violette's ear and whispered, "I swear it wasn't me who brought him. I just said I was coming here and he insisted on coming with me..."
Violette: "I'm not blaming you."
Ramsey let out a sigh of relief: "I brought some wine...in the trunk, I’ll go get it."
