After he left, Mike went straight back to the office.
"What did your ex-husband want? He looked mad. He didn't give you a hard time, did he?" Mike approached Violette, helped her sit down, and handed her a glass of water.
Violette was upset, but seeing Mike's concern, she said bashfully, "He thought you were my boyfriend, and I didn't bother to correct him. Will that cause you any trouble?"
Mike blinked his light blue eyes and said, "Boyfriend? If you want, I can become your husband right away."
Violette replied, "I don't plan on getting married again. Save that chance for someone you truly love."
Mike looked disappointed. "I don't plan on getting married again either. My ex-boyfriend hurt me, and I don't believe in true love anymore."
Years ago, Mike had a dangerous tumor in his brain, and
Violette performed surgery to remove it successfully.
Before the surgery, his boyfriend left him.
Afterward, Mike and Violette started AN Tech together.
"Forget about the sad stuff. Have you found a place to stay? If not, I can help you book a hotel." Violette took out her phone, ready to search for hotel information.
"Can I stay at your place? I've already put my luggage there. Your mom gave me a warm welcome." Mike looked smug. "We're so close; your home is my home. I don't need a hotel."
Violette was speechless.
However, since Mike was gay, she didn't think much of it.
...
Today, Ian didn't go to school, and he
took Rita to Kaleb's company.
Their goal now was to find their biological father.
They couldn't get close to Elijah, so they had to learn through Kaleb.
At noon, Kaleb left the office to grab lunch nearby.
Kaleb blamed himself inwardly for being suspicious of this child.
She was beautiful and innocent, and her father was well-mannered too!
"Did your father bring you here?" Kaleb asked.
Rita nodded and pouted, "My dad works nearby, but he had something to do, so he went back to the office first."
Before Kaleb could ask more, Rita took out a gift from her bag and placed it on the ground.
It was an electric toy.
"Sir, can you turn it on?"
Kaleb squatted down to find the switch.
At that moment, with quick hands, Rita yanked a hair from Kaleb's head!
