Chapter 501
After Elijah heard this, he turned around and left. As his car drove away, Mike took a deep breath.
The next morning.
Makayla showed up, accompanied by Elisa.
The kids were having breakfast. Seeing Makayla walk in, their expressions shifted but they did not say
anything and stayed put.
Mike flashed a grin at Makayla. "Why are you here so early?" He thought Elijah would be the one
walking through the door.
"I'm here to apologize to Violette, Rita, and Ian," Makayla said, her voice clear and strong. "My brother
and I were late last night. That's on us."
"Makayla, they don't need your apology. The one who owes them an apology is Elijah," Mike said,
walking over with a hot cup of milk.
"My brother will be here to apologize later," Makayla's cheeks turned pink, "I just couldn't wait, so I
come here first."
Mike laughed, "This isn't your fight, Makayla. You don't need to apologize or beat yourself up."
Makayla disagreed, "My brother took me to a new doctor yesterday. The doctor lives far away, and it
takes a long drive to get there... If it wasn't for me, he wouldn't have been late."
Just then, Rita walked out from the dining room. "Makayla, is everything you said true?" Rita's eyes
were still puffy from crying the night before.
Makayla nodded vigorously, "Yes. I swear I'm not fibbing."
At this moment, Ian finished his breakfast, walked through the living room, put on his backpack, and
prepared to go to school. Makayla went over to him immediately, "Ian, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be late
yesterday."
Ian wasn't mad at Makayla. He shrugged off Makayla's hand, and said coldly, "I gotta go to school." Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Makayla let go, and handed him a small box from her bag, "This is a gift for you. Will you accept it?"
Mike stepped in, fearing Ian would reject the gift. He wrapped an arm around Ian, "Let's hit the road. Or
we'll be late."
After Mike and Ian left, Rita ran back to her room to get the gift she prepared for Makayla.
Makayla was over the moon receiving the gift. She also took out the gift she prepared for Rita from her
bag. The gift Makayla gave Rita was a brand new hairpin. Rita was so happy that she forgot about the
upset from the night before.
"Makayla, I actually really like you. I love all the gifts you've given me," Rita sat on the sofa, holding
Makayla's hand, and said, "But I don't like Elijah… I'm still mad. He hurt my mom's feelings, and mine
and Ian's…"
Outside, a black Rolls-Royce pulled up slowly. Elijah stepped out of the car.
Uncle Mike was taking Ian to school, and mom wasn't home…
"Mr. Bourne, I need to take Rita to school. Please take Miss Makayla and leave. I need to lock up,"
Violette's bodyguard told Elijah. Reąd at Drąmаոоvеls.com
Elijah looked surprised, "Where's Violette?"
"She had to go out," the bodyguard replied.
