Elijah didn't show up for their meeting because he was with Sarah. That wasn't the worst part for Violette. The worst part was thinking about the fact that Elijah and Sarah once had a child together.
What was even more awful was that Sarah accused Violette of killing their child! And Elijah... he actually believed her. Otherwise, she wouldn't be pregnant with the child she was carrying now.
At the thought of this, she couldn't help but tear up. She hung up the phone, her strength drained from her body, and she suddenly leaned on the dining table.
Her two children noticed something was wrong so they jumped off their chairs immediately.
"Mom! What's wrong?" Rita asked, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Mom, he's not coming, is he?" Ian guessed, then hurriedly comforted her. "Mom, don't cry, let's go home!"
Violette fought back her tears, feeling guilty, she said, "Are you guys hungry? I'll take you out to eat now."
Both children shook their heads.
"Mom, I'm not hungry! I'm just really pissed off..." Rita's eyes reddened, unable to suppress the feeling of being hurt.
She had put on her prettiest dress for the meeting today and even brought a delicate gift for Makayla. That meant, she really cared about tonight's dinner. But they didn't show up! Elijah was a liar. Makayla was a liar too!
"Mom, let’s go out to eat!" Ian suggested, worried that his mom was hungry.
Violette gave a nod, leading her two children out of the private dining room.
The waiter saw them leaving and immediately panicked. "Ms. Dennis, you and your children haven't eaten yet! Shall I have the kitchen serve the food now? It's all ready..."
Violette stopped in her tracks and replied, "No need."
