Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 600

Inside the black Rolls-Royce, Joey hung up a call and turned to Elijah.

“Boss, Mike just called to invite me to join them for dinner at the hotel,” Joey said hesitantly, “Would you like to come?”

Elijah’s expression darkened. “They didn’t invite me. Why should I go?”

Feeling embarrassed, Joey added, “I heard Violette tried to call you this morning, but couldn’t reach you. Maybe you should meet and talk things over? Despite her dazzling smile on her live stream tonight, Mike said she’s actually quite upset. I suspect she dressed up like this just to get under your skin.”

Elijah’s dark eyes brimmed with icy menace. “How do you know she didn’t dress like this for Kylee’s benefit?”

Sensing his simmering rage, Joey fell silent.

At the hotel.

Kylee was demonstrating how to operate the latest drone model from the Dennis Group. Upon popular demand, he then started singing.

The live stream instantly turned into an online concert.

Violette descended from the stage. Mike offered her a light jacket, but she declined.

“It’s summer. I’m not cold.”

Mike replied, “The air conditioning is a bit chilly though.”

“I’m not cold.” Violette placed her palm on his hand, letting him feel her temperature. “Pregnant women tend to feel warm.”

“Alright! A few journalists asked me earlier. They’re quite interested in the father of your child.” Mike massaged his temples. “The number of viewers tonight exceeded my expectations... By tomorrow, practically everyone online will know about your pregnancy.”

Violette had considered this outcome, but she wasn’t afraid.

“Being pregnant is nothing to be ashamed of. It won’t matter if people know it.”

“But you’re not married!” Mike pointed out the crux. “People are particularly curious about the father of your child.”

Violette shrugged. “That’s their concern, not mine. I won’t let others influence my life.”

“Oh... so you’re not afraid that people will find out that Elijah is the father?” Mike uncapped a bottle of mineral water, handing it to her.

Mike spotted Elijah next to Joey, surprised but not shocked.

He had informed Joey about the live stream earlier.

So, Elijah would have definitely tuned in.

The sight of Violette’s stunning beauty alone, as well as her intimate interactions with Kylee, was bound to get under his skin.

Inwardly, Mike was impressed by Violette’s strategic move.

She knew exactly how to make this proud man bend.

Mike grabbed Violette’s arm, whispering into her ear, “He’s here.”

Violette looked towards the entrance. Elijah had already made his way in.

His intense and aloof gaze was fixed on her. The haughty aura emanating from him made him stand out from the crowd.
