10 a.m.
A black Rolls Royce pulled up in front of an old residential area.
The car door opened, and a tall figure stepped out.
Elijah was wearing a long navy down jacket today, with a gray scarf around his neck, and a pair of brand-new leather boots on his feet.
Despite being well-dressed, his face was pale and haggard.
His cold and noble demeanor was completely out of place with the surrounding desolate and run-down scene.
His driver and bodyguard trailed behind him, carrying expensive gifts.
The door to the rental house was knocked. Albina trotted over from the kitchen to open it.
She was somewhat dazed the moment she saw Elijah.
"...Why are you here?" Albina was taken aback for a moment, then swung the door wide open, "Come on in! I heard you’ve been sick, are you feeling better?"
Although it was winter, it was not cold enough to wear down jackets.
Elijah glanced at the clean floor and hesitated, "Should we take off our shoes?"
Albina immediately shook her head: "No need, come on in!"
She led Elijah in, then noticed the gift boxes carried by the driver and bodyguard.
"Why did you bring so many gifts?" Albina was puzzled.
Last night, Violette took all her luggage back, and
Albina didn’t dare to ask anything.
She guessed that Violette must have broken up with Elijah completely, which was why she dragged her luggage back.
So, she never expected Elijah to show up today.
"I’m here to officially visit you," Elijah sat down on the sofa.
The driver and bodyguard put the gifts in the living room and tactfully left.
Albina found the air conditioner remote and turned on the heating.
