It was only 5 o'clock, and mom found me so quickly!
Even though mom told others I was adopted, I knew she loved me a lot.
"Ian!" Violette Dennis saw her son sitting on the doorstep with two tall bodyguards beside him, her eyes instantly fill with tears.
Hearing Violette's voice, Elijah Bourne got up from the sofa and walked towards the door.
The bodyguards didn't dare to stop Violette
, as they had seen how much Elijah loved this woman before.
Although she was now Elijah's ex-wife, she still meant something different to him than other women.
Elijah saw Violette holding Ian, her eyes red as if her son had been hurt.
"Violette, let's talk."
Violette got angry: "What gives you the right to bring Ian to your house? Did you ask for my permission? This is illegal!"
Elijah frowned: "I didn't hurt him! I just want to know, when did he and Makayla meet? Why did they argue?"
Violette countered: "Why don't you ask Makayla? Elijah, I know Makayla is the most important person to you, but that doesn't give you the right to bully my son!"
Elijah got a headache.
He did bring Ian back without her consent.
That was because if he had asked her, she would've definitely refused.
"I didn't bully your son!" Elijah said.
"You forcefully brought him to your house and made him sit on the floor. Isn't that bullying? Then tell me, what is bullying?" Violette suddenly noticed the bite mark and dried blood on his neck.
Was that from her son?
Suddenly, her confidence wavered.
Seeing them argue in the front yard, Lacey immediately came out to help explain: "Violette, the boss really didn't bully your son. I offered him food and drinks, but he refused."
Seeing Lacey, Violette's anger subsided.
After a few years, Lacey's face still looked familiar and comforting.
The two of them boldly lie down by the study door, eavesdropping on the conversation.
Lacey watched them, amused and exasperated.
In the study,
Elijah started: "Makayla didn't make any friends at school before she went missing. So I have reason to suspect that she met your son during that time."
Violette's expression and tone were indifferent: "Oh, just ask them! I don't know anything."
Elijah looked at her cold face, feeling uncomfortable: "Your son never mentioned Makayla to you?"
"No. He doesn't like to talk much." Violette quickly ended the topic, "Don't pressure my son anymore. If you really want to know, just ask your Makayla! If there's nothing else, I'll leave."
Elijah: "There's something else."
Violette was stunned.
"I heard you're living with that blonde guy," Elijah said bluntly, "Moving in together so soon, were you two already dating before our divorce?"
