Elijah's POVHe was sitting in front of his table, chewing on the cap of his pen. He was reading papers for the materials to be used in his jewelry design, and he still couldn't quite get the look he wanted.As he leaned back and stared at the folder in his hand, the door to his office suddenly opened."Hi, Elijah!!" Venus approached him happily, but he motioned for her to stop with his hand. "What?" She seemed confused by his action."What are you doing here?""Just visiting and checking up on you. Is there something wrong with that?"He lowered the folder and looked at Venus's face. "Weren't we okay in the past few days because of your tantrums?"She smiled and approached him. "I'm okay now. I just had a hot temper back then.""But seriously, we need to stop this.""I won't get jealous anymore. Whoever it is, as long as it's just friends.""No. I don't want to, Venus. It's better if you just spend your time with someone else."Her face turned defiant. "Why don't you just be honest w

Elijah's POVHe entered the room and peeked at Charlotte lying on the bed. She was just sitting there, lost in thought. When she suddenly looked at him.He smiled faintly.

Charlotte's POVShe instinctively placed her hand on her stomach as it suddenly grumbled. It seems like the baby inside her belly is hungry. She stared blankly, realizing that she should eat too. She can't afford to skip meals anymore.Elijah entered the room again and stopped right beside her."What do you want to eat?"She glanced at Elisse. "What's the meal?""I don't know what the maid cooked, but maybe we can just check in the kitchen and see. If there's anything you don't like, I can tell the maids to cook something else for you.""Okay."She leaned on the bed, but Elijah immediately held her and helped her stand up.

It was fine; there was nothing she disliked, so there was no need for Elijah to command the maids to cook something else."Let's go to the dining area." Elijah and she entered the dining area together. They found Elisse already there, seemingly waiting for them. Some dishes were already served, but not everything she s
