Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 499

Once Violette hung up, he finally got what was going on. "Get out!" He ordered, bringing the car to a halt.

Makayla shrank back, startled. In the back seat, Sarah was teary-eyed. She knew Elijah's words were directed at her. But they hadn't reached the city yet, and she didn't want to get off here.

"Sarah, don't make me force you!" Elijah warned, his eyes piercingly cold.

Sarah, scared witless, quickly pushed the car door open and got out. Once she was out, the car shot off like a bullet, disappearing into the dim night.

Twenty minutes later, Elijah arrived at the booked restaurant. When he entered the private room, the manager pointed at the opened gift boxes on the floor. "They did open all the gift boxes but didn't take a single gift."

Elijah looked at the opened boxes, his eyes red, a lump in his throat.

"They even ate some of the fruits and snacks," the manager continued. "You were only a little late. It didn't really matter... and the waiter reminded them several times that the dishes could be served in advance..."

Elijah frowned, raising a hand to stop him from speaking further. Violette was angry not because he was late, but because of what Sarah had said.

He helped Makayla sit down at the table, then turned to the manager. "Serve the dishes."

The manager immediately instructed the waitstaff to remove the fruits and snacks from the table and signaled the kitchen to serve the dishes. Soon, a feast was laid out on the table.

Makayla looked at the delicious food but couldn't bring herself to feel happy. "Elijah, call Violette."

"She won't answer my call." he knew Violette too well. She seemed gentle and quiet but was more stubborn than anyone. He would apologize to her but wasn't sure how to do it yet.

"Violette is mad." Makayla insisted. "You need to call her now."

Unable to refuse Makayla, he dialed Violette's number.
