Chapter 506
A minefield, that was what they call an area with bombs buried underground. If one accidentally
stepped on a bomb, an explosion could occur. So Mr. Rocks' question to Elijah wasn't just 'Would you
dare to go in there to find her?' but also 'Would you risk your life for her?'
Elijah's deep gaze turned towards the depths of the forest. A few seconds later, he marched right in.
......
Violette was hanging on the edge of her seat at Mr. Rocks' place. Mr. Rocks had said he was going to
keep an eye on Elijah.
Half an hour had passed, and still no news - what was the holdup?
It was unclear how Mr. Rocks intended to observe him.
Elijah's personality was very peculiar. They wouldn't have had a conflict, would they?
Seeing her all knotted up, Mrs. Rocks tried to soothe her, "Ms. Dennis, don't you worry. My hubby
knows when to pull his punches. He'll bring him here in no time."
Violette gave a small nod, "It seems to get dark pretty early around here."
"Ah, yes, the weather here is a bit different from where you're from," Mrs. Rocks replied, and then she
suddenly asked, "The baby you're expecting, it's his, isn't it?"
Violette was taken aback.
"Ha, with the way you're fretting over him, it's obvious." Mrs. Rocks chuckled, holding her hand, "He
must care about you a lot to come all this way. But my hubby's way of doing things can be a bit scary,
just hope he can handle it. Even if things go south, it doesn't mean he doesn't love you at all, he might
just love himself a bit more."
Hearing this, Violette shot up from the couch. She suddenly remembered the terrifying moment when
Elijah had taken her to the villa surrounded by forest, and how panicked she had been. She didn't want
to go through that nightmare again. Neither for herself, nor for Elijah.
With a frown, she headed for the door.
"Ms. Dennis, wait for me, I'll go with you. I have a rough idea where they could be." Mrs. Rocks, fearing
for Violette's safety, hurried after her.
Outside in the forest,
Mr. Rocks and Mr. Johnson were debating whether to accept Elijah's donation. It was no small sum,
after all.
"If you're considering his donation, then why are you making things hard for him?" Mr. Johnson asked.
"Making things hard? It's not like it's a real minefield. I'm just trying to give him a scare," Mr. Rocks
shrugged, crossing his arms, "Did you see how upset Ms. Dennis looked? That jerk must've done
something to upset her. I'm just trying to get some payback for her."
"Why are you poking your nose into their business?"
"Poking my nose? They're on our turf now, which makes it our business."
"Ha, you better hope he doesn't get pissed off and decide to withdraw his donation."
"Hahahaha."
The two men were having a great time talking. Violette's arrival with Mrs. Rocks went unnoticed.
"Ms. Dennis, do you see that grove over there?" Mrs. Rocks asked, "That 'minefield' sign is a fake. It's
not a real minefield. Elijah should be in there." Content of Draмąոovels.comNôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
It was dead quiet. Violette turned on her phone's flashlight and quickly moved deeper into the grove.
"Elijah."
After about five or six minutes, she started shouting his name. Her shouts echoed through the grove.
