"Why are you two sharing a room?" Odette immediately nailed the issue.
Violette explained, "It was pouring rain at that time, I couldn't just kick him out."
"Ah, so you guys slept in the same bed? How could you just let him sleep on the bed? He didn’t pay a dime, and just because of a rainstorm, you gave him the chance?" Odette asked.
Violette was a bit puzzled, "We didn't do anything. Oh, he did do one thing."
"I knew he must have done something." Odette said.
Feeling the conversation was getting weird, Violette quickly interrupted her, "Odette, it's not what you're thinking! He washed my feet."
Violette didn't want to share this, but Odette’s piercing gaze left her no choice!
After she finished, Odette started laughing triumphantly, "Mr. Bourne is really something! Those noble hands of his, not only good for making money, but also for washing a woman's feet! Is this humble and enduring spirit his secret to success? No wonder successful people can achieve in everything they do! If a guy washed my feet, I'd be totally down for it!"
The room burst into laughter!
Violette felt her cheeks burning, and she held her water glass with both hands, thinking about Elijah. Would he be mad if he found out she had shared this? After all, this could be a reason for people to laugh at him.

"Adrian, are you a doctor too?" Makayla looked up to him with admiration.
Adrian looked at her innocent smile and said bitterly, "Makayla, Violette can't cure you now. If she could, she wouldn't refuse just because of your brother."
"Oh! So my illness is incurable?" After asking, Makayla muttered to herself, "I think it's pretty good now."
Adrian picked an iris from the flower bed and handed it to her, "This is an iris, it symbolizes hope. I want to give it to you, hoping your future is full of hope."
In the kitchen, wearing disposable gloves, Elijah was preparing to marinate ribs according to the recipe. He knew Violette liked ribs, so he planned to make stewed ribs.
Suddenly, Rita walked in and stood by his leg.
"Elijah Bourne, you've suddenly become so nice, do you have other motives?" Rita frowned and looked up at him, "Are you trying to take away the baby in my mom's belly? This baby belongs to our family, I won't give it to you!"
