After lunch, Kylee had a meal with everyone at Violette's place and then took off.
"Violette, take a breather and gear up for your afternoon medical check-up. I'm thinking of taking the kids out for a spin, what do you think?" Odette looked at the sunny weather, feeling a bit stir-crazy at home, "I'll have them back by six, max."
Seeing both kids itching to go out, Violette naturally didn't object,
"Odette, won't this be a hassle for you?"
Odette replied, "What hassle? They're not little babies who need constant cuddling. Taking them out is a piece of cake."
Violette had her bodyguard tag along with them.
After waving them off, she went back inside and locked the front door.
On the coffee table in the living room, there was a white box
, left by Kylee.
It was a gift for her.
He said it was his lucky charm, not anything fancy but he hoped it would bring her good luck.
Such a meaningful, yet not extravagant gift, she couldn't turn down.
She took the white box and went back to her room.
Just as she sat down on the bed, Mike gave her a ring.
"Violette, I'll pick you up in about two hours. You can rest for now." He quickly asked, "Is that guy gone? If not, it's about time he left, right?"
"Don't talk about him like that. He's a very talented artist. I heard his new song today, and it's really good." Violette defended him, "I've never been a fangirl before, but his charm really got me hooked. I'm a real fan now."
"Holy moly, you're not falling for him, are you?" Mike asked.
"I just admire him." Violette said.
"Oh, just admiration! But if you really were with him, I wouldn't object. When you are looking for a boyfriend, you gotta aim for the boys either good-looking, loaded with money or good at something. Like Kylee, gotta admit, he's a looker." Mike said.
"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up now." Violette didn't want to go on with this topic.
After her relationship with Elijah ended, she had no plans to date or get into another marriage.
Dating took too much energy, which made her reluctant to give it another go.
