Awake For Love: My Coma Bridegroom Chapter 41
Chapter 41
Elijah was always indifferent to others in his life. So, whenever he showed a little bit of care for someone, everyone around assumed he’s fallen for that person.
But the kind of love she longed for should be about mutual respect, not one person having total cont over the other
When the car arrived at the Bourne family’s place, the bodyguard walked over to Elijah first
He was probably wormed about Elijah getting pissed, so he explained, “Ms. Dennis told me in the car pf now that what she said last night was all to test the lie
detector”
Violette was changing her shoes slowly at the door, also eavesdroping
“She also said she didn’t mean to make you angry,” the bodyguard continued.
Elyah “Can’t she say it herself? Why did she have to ask you to tell me?”
The bodyguard backed off immediately, giving her a fierce warning look
It’s as if he’s saying, if you don’t make my boss happy, I won’t let you off the hook!
Violette took one step at a time towards Elijah.
After sitting down across from the sofa, she gathered her courage, ready to speak.
“Did you go to the singles party?” he asked first.
Violette: “Huh? Was that a singles party? I didn’t know. I just knew there were rich people there. I was looking for investors”
Elijah frowned, “Did you find any investors?”
“No. I was there for less than ten minutes before your bodyguard called me out.”
Elijah: “Are you blaming me?”
Violette was kind of hungry, so she took an apple from the fruit plate and bit it: “If I blame you, can you give me money?”
“In your dreams”
“So I won’t ruin my good mood because of you”
“Is your good mood because you fired your deputy general manager and the backbone of the R&D department today?” Elijah said
Violette’s apple–biting motion paused, and she stared at him, “Elijah, do you like me?”
Why else would he investigate her every move?
As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere became awkward.
Awkwardness spreaded between them.
Violette stuffed the apple back into her mouth.
Elijah looked at her with ded eyes.
After a moment, his voice came, “What about you?”
Was he asking if she likes him?
Her heartbeat became erratic, her face turned red, and her speech became a little stuttered. “…I don’t dare say I like you, nor do I dare say I don’t like you… I just don’t dare to like you…”
She sounded like she was saying a tongue twister.
She was a bit confused herself after saying that
Hopefully, he could understand.
“Violette, I’m not as bad as you think,” his eyes were sharp, but his voice was very calm, “You don’t have to understand me, but don’t go against me.”
“Im not against you,” Violette cleared her throat, “I just want to live my own life.”
Her life?
Her life definitely didn’t include him.
He picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.
“Ten billion is not a low price. With this selling price, after paying off the debt, you can still get a considerable amount of income.” He suddenly changed the topic
It took her a few seconds to realize he was talking about the company
“My father doesn’t want to sell the company to anyone else.”
“Bankruptcy liquidation is also a sale. And it’s a low priced sale
Violette thought for a moment and replied, “Thank you for your advice. But I have my own thoughts.”
As soon as her words fell, his laughter came through
This was the first time she had seen him laugh in real life.
He looked very charming when he laughed
The last time she saw his smile was on his computer
At that time, he was holding that woman, smiling so tenderly

Violette was mulling over in her mind. If that woman wasn’t dead, would she be considered the other woman right now?
If that woman was dead, would she just be a replacement for her?
Either way, it was pretty sad
As Violette’s thoughts wandered, Elijah’s mind also drifted elsewhere.
Violette, tell me what you liked about Kaleb!” He pulled out a cigarette pack, his expression hard to read.
1 don’t like him anymore” Violette’s voice was a bit muffled
If she hadn’t just cleared things up with him, she might have continued to use Kaleb to annoy him.
Even though that behavior was childish,
Elijah always lost his temper with her over little things.
If she didn’t do something to fight back, she’d go crazy
“So you stopped liking him because you realized he’s a loser?” He held the cigarette between his fingers, not lighting it.
“Is there anything in your eyes besides money?” Violette asked him back. “When Kaleb was pursuing me, he wrote me love poems every day. Every weekend, he would take me to art exhibitions and concerts. We talked about beautiful things…”
“Beautiful things? I think it’s foolish and ridiculous! It’s because his mind was full of how to pick up girls that his career went downhill.” Elijah interrupted her in a deep voice. “This kind of beauty is foolish and ridiculous!”
Violette: “Elijah, were you born this mature and successful? When I was fifteen, I only liked handsome boys. At sixteen, I liked boys with good grades. At seventeen, I liked boys who were good at basketball, and at eighteen, I liked talented boys…
“I liked Kaleb before, and even if I hate him now, I can’t pretend that what happened before never happened
“Shut up!” Elijah snapped the cigarette in half between his fingers. “Get back to your room!”
Violette pursed her lips and got up from the couch.
She didn’t go back to her room because she was hungry.
She headed straight to the dining room.
“Lacey, is there any food?”
Her casual demeanor made it seem as if someone else had just argued with Elijah.
Lacey immediately prepared dinner for her.
As she sat down in the dining room and unlocked her phone, she saw a message from Odette.
There were three messages in total-
The first one: The date is overt I’m not really interested in him. I feel he’s not very masculine He doesn’t seem to be interested in me either. But because of his family pressure, he said that if I don’t mind, we can go out for dinner next time.
The second one: He told me his parents don’t give him much pocket money! How could he possibly have 1.2 billion! Is there some misunderstanding between you
two?
The third one: I decided to go on a date with him this weekend! I have to get to the bottom of this! And, what was your emergency?
Violette replied to her message: It’s hard to explain. Fll tell you when I’ve organized my thoughts.
After receiving her reply, Odette called her directly.
Violette held her phone and glanced over at the living room.
Elijah was still there
If she answered the phone, he would definitely hear it.
After hanging up the phone, she replied to Odette: I can’t talk right now. Let’s meet at school tomorrow and talk!
At 10:30 pm, Elijah finished taking a shower, wearing a grey silk robe, pacing back and forth in his room.
His tired legs were now full of energy.
He had been pondering a question.
The question made him frown, and he couldn’t get it out of his mind.
After a while, be picked up his phone and called Zoey
“Zoey, help me find out if there are any art exhibitions or concerts tomorrow, preferably in the afternoon or evening
Zoey “Sure, Mr Bourne. What type of art exhibition or concert would you like to see?”
This question made him feel embarrassed
He never went to art exhibitions and concerts
Even now, he had no interest in them.
“Pick something that girls like to watch” He said
“Alright, Mr. Bourne. However, different age groups of girls prefer different types. Zoey continued to probe.
Elijah had never made such a strange request before
