Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 471

It was utterly absurd, a delusion of a fool.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stood up from the sofa.

"Don't come to my house anymore," Violette said, word by word. "I trust you haven't forgotten what you did to my son. Seeing you will only remind him of that day."

Elijah swallowed hard. "You only saw me bullying him. Did you ever ask him what he said to me?"

"No matter what he said to you, you could have fired back with words. Did you really have to get physical?" Violette argued.

She was right. He was the one in the wrong.

"I'm just this kind of brutish and rude person!" he exclaimed in frustration.

"Well, no need to introduce yourself!" She shot back, "I already know!"

The light in his eyes gradually turned to despair and faded away. He suppressed the urge to explain, preserving his remaining composure and dignity. He picked up the gift box on the coffee table and stormed out.

Violette took a deep breath. After he left the villa, she looked out with red-rimmed eyes.

She saw him tossing the expensive gift into the trash bin outside the gate. The lunatic! Not content with being mad himself, he was trying to drive everyone else around him insane too. After his car drove away, she gritted her teeth and walked outside. The bodyguard, coming out of the kitchen, immediately followed.

"Ms. Dennis, where are you going?"

Violette didn't answer. She walked to the trash bin outside the gate, opened it, and took out the gift box Elijah had thrown away.

The bodyguard was taken aback. She didn't need to do the dirty work of rummaging through the trash herself.

"Good thing we bagged all the trash before throwing it out," the bodyguard tried to lighten the awkward atmosphere. "The box is still pretty clean."

Violette clutched the gift box and headed back inside.

The bodyguard trailed behind her, babbling, "Ms. Dennis, maybe it's none of my business, but Mr. Bourne was being quite polite today. Since you retrieved his gift, it shows you're not entirely heartless. Why pretend to be so harsh and cold-hearted?"
