6 PM.
Violette drove back to Silverleaf Ridge.
The villa's gate was wide open, and a
red BMW was parked in the yard.
Violette recognized the car – it was Odette's.
What on earth brought Odette here all of a sudden?
"Violette!" Odette saw Violette coming back and immediately rushed out, "I saw your two kids! Why
didn't you tell me you adopted two children?"
Violette hesitated to get out of the car upon hearing Odette's question.
She realized that anything about her, if known by Elijah, would become public knowledge.
And whatever Odette knew about her, she would report straight to Elijah.
All because Odette was dating Ramsey, but s
he couldn't just cut ties with her because of that.
"Why didn't you tell me!" Odette walked over to Violette and pulled her out of the car, "It's just adopting
two kids, not like they're your biological children with Elijah. Why hide it?"
Violette was speechless.
"But come to think of it, the two kids you adopted look so much like you and Elijah! Did you adopt them
because they're good-looking?" Odette asked.
Violette: "…Yeah! Ian didn't look like Elijah when he was little, or else I definitely wouldn't have adopted
him."
Odette: "Oh! How strange! They're not father and son, yet they look so alike."
"Maybe they won't look alike when they grow up. Children's faces change as they grow," Violette said
nervously. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
"I see… Violette, why did you want to adopt children?" Odette was puzzled, "And I heard from your
mom that Ian has some personality issues, he's not very sociable. Adopting such a child would be
troublesome!"
Violette knew Odette meant well, so she patiently explained, "Odette, even challenged children are
angels."
"I'm not saying they're not good. I just think you'll be exhausted."
"He's more obedient than regular kids. He never makes a fuss." Violette walked to the door and
changed her shoes.
Rita and Ian immediately came over.
"Mom, is Aunty Odette your good friend? She bought me lots of pretty dresses and hair clips, can I
keep them?" Rita looked up with a curious expression.
"Of course! Aunty Odette is mommy's best friend."
"Oh... Thank you, Aunty Odette!" Rita immediately thanked Odette.
Odette patted Rita's head and sighed, "It's a pity Ian doesn't like the gifts I got him."
"Aunty Odette, my brother likes puzzles! Next time, get him some complex ones," Rita explained, "He
finishes the simple ones in no time."
Odette: "Alright! I'll buy some tomorrow. Rita, you're so pretty, just like your mom when she was little!"
Rita showed a proud expression: "I'm my mom's daughter, of course I look like her!"
Odette was dumbfounded.
Violette quickly took the flustered Odette to the bedroom.
"Violette! Are these two kids yours? I've been wondering why they look so much like you and Elijah!
They're your children with Elijah, aren't they?" Odette saw Violette's mouth move a bit and immediately
said, "Don't try to deceive me! If you lie to me, I'll go straight to Elijah and tell him these two kids are his
biological children!"
She should've known that this secret wouldn't stay hidden for long.
Only if she didn't run into any old acquaintances would the truth remain concealed.
But the world was too small; how could she not bump into familiar faces upon returning?
It was all too late now.
