Chapter 136
In the afternoon, they headed home for some rest.
Because tonight, they were gonna party, New Year's style.
As soon as Elijah dozed off, Violette popped open her eyes.
She stared at his face, couldn't get enough of it.
Too bad time couldn't just freeze, wouldn't it be awesome to stop right here, right now!
At 4 pm, Elijah woke up to find Violette missing from his side. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
He got up, went downstairs to find her.
"You're awake!" Violette was prepping dinner, "I was thinking of making Mexican wraps tonight, what do
you think?"
Elijah reached the kitchen doorway, watching her bustling around and felt at peace.
"How about I take over dinner?" he suggested.
"You can cook?" Violette looked surprised, "If you can, go for it! I've never tasted your cooking before!"
"I haven't before, but I can follow a recipe." he said, "You go chill in the living room."
"Can I just stay here and watch you cook?" she teased with a twinkle in her eyes.
Of course, he didn’t turn her down.
He brought her a chair to sit on.
Watching him methodically prepare dinner, it was like a show.
Whatever he did, he made it look like he totally knew his stuff.
In the evening, Violette, enjoying his steak, couldn't help but compliment, "Even better than
professional chefs."
Elijah said,: "Maybe the restaurants you've been to are just mediocre."
Violette said, "Can't you just accept my compliment?"
Elijah said, "Alright, I do think my cooking is pretty good."
Violette said, "Ha-ha... I'll give you the broccoli, not a fan."
Saying this, she passed her broccoli to him, while sneakily eating his cherry tomatoes.
"Violette, don’t be picky." Elijah chided gently while eating her broccoli.
She quickly defended, "I'm not picky, I just don't like boiled stuff."
After dinner, they took a walk and then returned home to watch TV.
She leaned on his shoulder, dozed off sleepily.
At 11:30 pm, he woke her up, "Let's go set off some fireworks!"
Her face lit up with a smile, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.
They put on their coats, headed outside, where
the bodyguard lit the fireworks.
In an instant, the sky was lit up with dazzling fireworks!
Violette looked up, letting the cold wind brush past her face.
"Violette, I have a gift for you." His voice echoed in her ears.
She turned to him, "A New Year's gift? Didn't we say no gifts?"
She hadn't prepared anything for him.
Elijah said, "It was pre-ordered."
Saying this, he pulled out a square red box from his pocket.
Without opening, she could guess what was inside.
"We've been married for half a year, this is your belated wedding ring." He opened the box, inside was
a beautiful diamond ring.
Violette looked at the diamond ring, her eyes suddenly became teary.
He took out the ring, held her right hand, and slowly put the ring on her finger.
"It's beautiful." She murmured.
"As long as you like it." He held her right hand tightly.
Up in the sky, the fireworks continued to burst.
The colorful fireworks lit up the night.
As the fireworks turned into a countdown, she stood on her toes and kissed his cool lips.
He felt the wet sensation on his face
, and saw her cheeks was full of tears.
He wanted to ask, why was she crying like this?
The countdown ended, and it was officially the New Year.
"Elijah, Happy New Year." She let go of him, her voice hoarse.
