If she didn’t seek him out tonight, she knew she’d definitely suffer from insomnia. Her hope was to see Kylee’s career back on track as soon as possible. Otherwise, the unsettling feeling within her would be relentless.
After a moment's hesitation, she emerged from her room. Her kids were sound asleep, and the house was as quiet as a church mouse. She could even hear her heart beating like a drum.
What was she afraid of? She was carrying his baby. He would never dare harm her.
The nanny and the bodyguard had gone off duty, so she drove alone to Elijah's mansion.
Forty minutes later, the car halted at his front gate. As she got out of the car, the security guard, under the glow of the streetlight, recognized her and immediately opened the gate. Who would dare stop her now that she was carrying Elijah's child?
As she reached the mansion's front door, Lacey hurried over, knelt down, and started to remove her shoes.
“I can do it myself,” she quickly intervened.
Lacey replied, “Violette, you’re carrying a child now, so you shouldn’t be bending over if you can help it. Mr. Elijah said you were coming over, so I made you some soup.”
She hadn’t eaten much since the evening and was feeling a bit peckish.
“He told you I was coming over?” Her heart skipped a beat.
“Yes! He asked me to prepare some food.” Lacey finished helping Violette with her shoes and guided her towards the dining room. “I made some of your favorite dishes, but I’m not sure if they’ll suit your current appetite. It’s quite common for the appetite to change drastically during pregnancy!”
Violette was a little dazed. She came here to see Elijah, not to have a midnight snack, but Lacey was so hospitable that it was hard for her to refuse.
