She got up, walked over and turned on the monitoring. Seeing the figure on the screen, she pursed her red lips, "Mr. Murphy, it's so late. What's the matter?"
"My apartment has just undergone some renovations. Do you feel noisy?" Stanley knew that she was looking at the video, so he moved a step to the right, completely exposing himself to the camera.
"There is no noise now." Violet looked at him and replied.
Seeing that the door was still closed, Stanley realized that she did not intend to open the door. Then his eyes darkened, "Open the door. I have something for you."
"What?" Violet frowned suspiciously, but still didn't mean to open the door.
Stanley pursed his thin lips, "It's an apologetic gift."
A gift?
Violet adjusted the angle of the camera and saw that his hanging left hand was carrying a delicately packaged bag. She couldn't help but raised her eyebrows in surprise, "No need, Mr. Murphy. You have already apologized. Just take it back. Well, I'm going to bed. Good night!"
After speaking, she turned and went back to the living room.
Outside the door, seeing that the red light in the camera hadn't flashed, Stanley knew that she had turned off the monitoring and went away. His handsome face sank suddenly.
She really carried out the three words “stay away from him” so vividly that she didn't even want to talk with him face to face now.
Stanley stared at the closed door in front of him for a while, then turned back to the apartment.
Bella paused when she saw him come back with the bag, "Mr. Murphy, did you not give it to Miss Hunt?"
"She doesn't want to see me." Stanley put the bag on the coffee table and replied faintly.
Bella looked at the door, and then comforted, "It's okay, you have moved here anyway. You will see Miss Hunt."
Stanley gave a hmm, pulled his tie, and walked to the room.
Of course he knew this. Otherwise, he wouldn't move here so soon. Now that Vera had been arrested, he naturally didn't have to worry about anything. So he could pursue her.
But when she asked him if he liked her on the cruise ship before, he didn't admit it at the time. If now he directly confessed to her, she would definitely not believe it. So he could only make her believe her slowly.
The next day, after breakfast, Violet took her two children to go out.
When she went out, she first looked at the door of the opposite room. Seeing that there was no movement, she gently closed the door of her apartment, and then took the two children into the elevator.
In the elevator, Arya panted, "Mommy, why did we have to run?"
Calvin also looked at Violet.
Violet's eyes flickered. Then she replied with smile, "Mommy is afraid you guys are late."
"But it's still early." Calvin looked at his children's watch, and exposed her lie.
Violet looked away, "Probably I made a mistake."
She couldn't say that she didn't know if Stanley had left.
If he didn't leave, he would hear the movement of closing the door. Then if she didn't run faster, what should she do if he opened the door?
Seeing Violet's guilty conscience, Calvin curled his lips, "Mommy is lying again."
"Mommy, it's not a good habit to lie." Arya said with her arms akimbo.
Violet bent over and scratched the noses of the two little guys, "You two are teaching Mommy?"
"Huh." The two little guys lifted their chins triumphantly.
Violet couldn't help but pinched their faces.
Ding. The elevator arrived.
After opening the door, Violet took the two little guys out of the elevator and walked to the parking lot.
As soon as they walked to the entrance of the parking lot, they suddenly heard a loud noise. It was the sound of a car colliding with a car.
