"Mom, I was scared of the pain, so the nurse let big brother take the lead," Rita explained. "My brother took the blood test for me. He loves me the most."
Violette sighed after hearing Rita's explanation: "You two are so adorable and thoughtful; Mom is falling in love with you guys more and more every day!"
"Mom, we love you too!" Joy filled Rita's bright eyes.
The bodyguard standing by scratched his head. "Ms. Dennis, should I start cooking?"
Violette: "Wouldn't that be too hard on you?"
The bodyguard shook his head and said, "Not at all."
After saying that, the bodyguard went into the kitchen.
"Mom, the bodyguard's cooking is really good!" Rita held Violette's hand, mumbling, "Why didn't Uncle Mike come back with you?"
Her brows furrowed slightly. "He had some stuff to do; that's why we didn't come back together."
Her phone had been off since Elijah turned it off.
Mike must be sick for not being able to find her this afternoon!
She immediately took out her phone from her bag and turned it on.
Seeing the missed calls from Mike, she called him back.
Mike picked up immediately, "Violette! Can you let me know the next time Elijah takes you away? Do you know how worried I was?"
Violette felt a bit awkward and changed the subject to, "Why are you fighting with Joey again?"
"You saw us fighting?" Mike gritted his teeth. "I asked him if Elijah invested in Alexa; he said he didn't know and told me to mind my own business, that his boss had his reasons whether he invested in Alexa or not... I can't stand his attitude."
"There's no need to fight over this." Violette glanced at the kitchen and said, "Do you want to come back for dinner?"
"I have a dinner meeting outside tonight," Mike changed the subject, "You didn't hear Alexa's speech this afternoon... I just had to laugh! She was saying she didn't start her company to make money but to save all the poor people. Does she think she's so great? It's obvious she's just trying to scam everyone's money!"
Violette listened to his excited rant, her mood relatively calm.
She had been thinking a lot since she came back this afternoon.
