Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom

Chapter 374

When Elijah showed up at the dining table, Violette was just about to take a bite of her piece of cake. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Catching sight of him, she almost bit off her fork.

What kind of luck was this to run into him while just having a meal out?

Odette frowned in annoyance and said, "Mr. Bourne, what a coincidence! Have you got a dinner party

tonight?"

She joked, waving at the group standing behind him.

Everyone gave polite but reserved smiles.

Elijah glanced at the cake on the table, finally resting his gaze on the two children.

"Their birthdays?" His voice was low and powerful, full of uncertainty.

He remembered Ian's birthday was on April 13th, not today.

Violette felt like her blood was boiling!

She didn't celebrate the kids' birthdays to prevent him from finding out.

But now, even when she celebrated their birthdays secretly, he still found out!

Seeing the panic and unease on her face, his mind started spinning.

Was Ian's birthday today, not April 13th? And Rita's too?

Were both kids' birthdays on the same day?

Could it be?

"Why are you so nosy? What's it to you whose birthday it is today? And who said that cake can only be

eaten on birthdays?" Odette removed the birthday hats from Rita and Ian's heads, placing them on her

own and Violette's. "Today is the anniversary of me and Violette knowing each other for over a decade,

so we're out celebrating. Got a problem?"

At her words, the panic on Violette's face instantly disappeared.

Elijah's gaze dropped to her head, teasing, "Violette, do you want to get married?"

She was startled by his question and looked up to meet his gaze.

Before she could respond, Odette jumped in and said, "Elijah, can you just mind your own business?

Whether Violette wants to get married or not, what does that have to do with you? Even if she did want

to marry, she wouldn't want to marry you! Just give it up!"

Odette's words stung Elijah, and a dull ache throbbed in his heart.

His gaze suddenly turned fierce. "Odette, I didn't ask for your opinion, so just keep your mouth shut!"

Violette couldn't just ignore it anymore. "What Odette said is exactly what I wanted to say. There's no

need for you to make a scene in public; it's beneath you!"

His rationality suddenly snapped back.

His expression was cold, and he clenched his fists, turning around and striding away.

Once he was gone, Odette took a deep breath and said, "That scared me! That's the first time he's

ever been that mean to me!"

Violette: "Next time, don't cover for me. It's hard for Ramsey to be stuck in the middle."

Odette puffed out her cheeks, grumbling, "Don't you think his behavior is confusing? You two are

divorced; why does he keep bothering you? And asking if you want to get married... , if you said you

did, he would marry you?"

Violette felt a headache coming on and said, "Just stop talking about him. Next time we go out for a

meal, don't go to places where rich people like to hang out."

Odette: "Oh, we didn't do anything wrong; why should we avoid him? I'm not afraid of him!"

Violette took a deep breath.

She was afraid of him.

The kids were her Achilles' heel.

If she had no other choice, she would have to give him another child.

There was no way she was going to give him Ian and Rita.

"Mommy, why did he ask if you wanted to get married?" Rita's clear voice rang out.

Odette burst out laughing. "Because your mommy is wearing a wedding dress today, looking all pretty

and sexy! That bastard Elijah probably saw the picture and got his heart fluttering."

Violette's cheeks grew warm. "Odette, don't post my pictures on social media anymore."

Odette: "He doesn't even follow me! It must have been Joey or Ramsey who sent it to him! I swear,

these guys are even bigger gossips than us girls!"

Suddenly, the screen of Violette's phone on the table lit up.

Unlocking the screen, she saw a message from Elijah.

He had sent her the name of a hotel and a room number.
