He realized that her life was indeed getting better.
......
After Violette got into the car, she took out her thermos from her bag, opened the lid, and took a sip of water.
Mike waited for her to finish drinking before he started the car.
"What's for lunch?" He asked.
Violette: "It's not even noon, I'm not hungry."
Mike: "There's no harm in planning ahead, right?"
Violette thought for a few seconds and said, "I'll take care of my own lunch from now on."
Mike was a meat lover, but she was currently not interested in any kind of meat. Before getting pregnant, she had a good appetite, so if Mike saw her not eating meat, he would definitely become suspicious.
"Are you trying to lose weight?" Mike questioned, "Violette, don't starve yourself slim! You're not a celebrity, and there's no need to compete with those female celebrities."
Violette knew Mike would jump to conclusions.
"I'm not trying to lose weight. I just don't want to eat with you anymore."
Mike: "Why don't you want to eat with me anymore? If you're not eating with me, who are you eating with?"
Violette: "I think we should keep some distance. I heard what you said to Joey last night. You care so much about Joey's relationship with Elijah, what if Joey cares about your relationship with me?"
Mike was speechless.
Violette: "From now on, let's eat separately. We can still go home together after work."
Mike: "Oh... okay."
