She thought to herself, "If Violette wasn't such a shameless girl, she should hang up the phone right
away."
Sure enough, when Violette heard Sarah's voice, she suddenly sobered up, "Sorry for interrupting your
date. I received the gift, but I won't return the favor. Don't send me any more gifts in the future."
Without waiting for his response, she hung up the phone.
Elijah felt a sting in his heart as the phone was hung up.
"Elijah, I heard Violette locked herself in the car yesterday, is she okay now?" Sarah initiated the
conversation.
"Yeah." Elijah was not interested in talking about Violette with her, "You mentioned there's a doctor
you'd recommend for me, which doctor is that?"
Sarah took a business card from her bag and handed it to him, "I've heard this doctor is a famous
psychologist in A Country. Many people want to make an appointment with her. I used my connections
to book a consultation for you next Wednesday morning. You can take Makayla there."
Elijah glanced at the card, and it was the same psychologist recommended by the family doctor. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Silverleaf Ridge.
Violette came out of the shower and walked towards the children's rooms.
Rita was watching TV, and Ian was doing a jigsaw puzzle.
Violette set their bedtime at nine o'clock in the evening.
Before nine, they could play whatever they wanted.
"Mommy." Ian immediately put down the puzzle when he saw Violette.
Violette walked over to her son, squatted down, and spoke softly, "Are you mad that mommy took away
your laptop?"
Ian nodded.
Life without a laptop was incomplete.
But -
"I still love you the same." Ian looked at her seriously.
Violette's heart melted instantly.
She hugged her son and sniffled, "Mommy will give it back to you, but not for a while."
"Okay." Ian's eyes softened, "Mommy, you go to sleep. I'll take care of my sister."
"Alright."
At nine o'clock in the evening.
The lights were turned off in the room, and the two children lay in bed.
Rita's eyes were wide open, staring at the ceiling, feeling restless.
"Ian, I want to open that box. But I can't open it. Can you help me open it?" Rita reached out her little
hand, shook Ian's arm, and asked.
"Let's open it tomorrow."
"But I want to see what's inside now. Brother, do you think there might be beautiful jewelry inside?"
"No way." Ian's tone was firm.
Elijah was a man; how could he possibly keep jewelry in his study?
Rita sat up, more energized.
"Ian, if you don't help me open it now, I won't sleep." Rita muttered, "I won't sleep tonight... I'll stay up
all night."
Listening to his sister's nonsense, Ian took a deep breath, sat up, turned on the bedside lamp, and set
the light to a dimmer setting.
Rita immediately got out of bed, found the box from under the bed, and handed it to her brother.
"Brother, what if you can't open it?" Rita looked at the box and murmured.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ian easily opened the box.
Rita was stunned for a moment, then excitedly asked, "Brother, what's inside?"
Ian handed the box to her so she could see.
It wasn't beautiful jewelry; t
he light in her eyes dimmed instantly.
"Brother, what are these?" Rita poured the contents of the box out.
