Chapter 49
"Boss, I noticed that you didn't use your wheelchair today. Are your legs aching?" Joey asked with
concern.
She knew that he had ditched the wheelchair for the sake of a smoother date with Violette.
Otherwise, dating Violette in a wheelchair might give her a less than pleasant experience.
What a shame that Violette doesn't know how to appreciate such a considerate man.
Elijah brushed off Joey and Brandon's arms, saying nonchalantly, "I'm good."
"Elijah, let's grab a drink!" Brandon grabbed his arm again, "Derek Marcia is still around, I'll call him
over and we can all get together."
Seeing Elijah's expression, Brandon became a bit worried.
Derek was Melinda's brother.
After Melinda pissed off Elijah, Brandon called Derek over.
The Marcia family's business was in R City.
And as the heir to the Marcia family, Derek was pretty much a permanent resident of R City.
After a brief silence, Elijah said, "I'm not going drinking with you guys."
He headed straight for the elevator, his pace slow but steady.
Despite his emotional setback, his legs seemed to be recovering well.
At half past seven in the evening, Elijah returned home.
Lacey immediately handed him a gift prepared by Violette. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"Sir, this is a gift from the missus."
Elijah took the gift, it was quite heavy, he had no idea what was inside.
"Isn't she at home?" he asked.
Lacey: "She's home. She went back to her room after dinner, said she had to write a paper."
Elijah carefully examined the gift.
She gave him a gift, probably realizing that she had been out of line with him in the afternoon.
Everyone deserves a second chance.
Seeing that she took the initiative to give him a gift, his anger subsided a bit.
He slowly opened the gift box—
A book, clearly presented before his eyes.
The title of the book was very prominent.
The title was How to Keep Your Cool.
Elijah's brows furrowed tighter.
Is this Violette's apology gift?!
Is she genuinely apologizing, or does she think he's narrow-minded and wants to keep pushing his
boundaries?!
Even Lacey, seeing this gift, her smile disappeared.
She wanted to take back all her previous praises of Violette.
"...Sir, I'll call the missus to explain the meaning of this gift. I think she didn't mean any harm." Lacey
tried to defend Violette.
Elijah gritted out a few words, "No need!"
With a 'bang', the book was thrown on the table.
In the guest room, Violette's heart started pounding when she heard the noise.
She had sent him this book on purpose.
This book was recommended by her teacher.
She had already bought and read the entire book herself.
And she felt that the content of the book was very healthy and beneficial to the mind and body, and
could open up one's mind.
Being open-minded can improve one's mood.
Less anger might not prolong one's life, but it can certainly help avoid illness.
How great is that!
Why is he angry again?
Does he think the gift she gave him was too cheap?
But right now, she really doesn't have the extra money to buy him expensive gifts.
Her heart was filled with unease and anxiety, wondering whether she should go out and have a good
talk with him.
Just at this moment, her bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.
His tall figure appeared in her line of sight.
