The two immediately turned their heads and quickly separated, as if to hide their relationship.
"Violette, you're home! I've been waiting for you! I'm sorry I moved into your house without asking your permission. You're not angry, are you?" Irene looked at Violette anxiously, wringing her hands in front of her chest.
"Vio, let Irene stay at our house. Her apartment has a gas leak. She's traumatized from living alone. We'll take care of her because we're still her family and she's Damien's biological mother," Hans explained.
"It's okay, right, Violette? If you don't like it, I'll find another place to live," Irene said, her eyes starting to well up, making her look pitiful.
"You've already moved your things into this house, why do you need to ask my permission? You're talking as if I'm kicking you out," Violette replied with a flat smile.
Irene's face reddened; she pursed her lips, then looked at Hans with an expression as if she had been mistreated. She was petite and ten years younger, so her appearance really supported her sad acting.
"Hans, I didn't mean it that way. I'm sorry for giving Violette the wrong impression," Irene said to Hans.
Hans's face tensed, and he frowned at Violette. "Don't scare Irene like that. She didn't mean to misunderstand you."
"Don't worry, I'm just kidding. She can stay as long as she wants," Violette replied with a fake smile.
"Hans, there's something I want to talk about. I need your signature to change the ownership of the island you bought for our wedding anniversary," she said as she placed the documents on the table, right in front of them.
She sat in front of Hans and Irene, who didn't even move and remained seated side by side.
That position made it seem as if Violette were an outsider in her own home.
"It's already yours. No need to change anything," said Hans, reaching for the document to look at it.
However, Violette held the document back so Hans couldn't see its contents.
"Hans, I just need your signature and the island will be mine so I can feel comfortable."
Irene laughed softly and seductively. "Violette, are you worried that Hans is lying about giving you the island? Don't worry, I also got a private island in Hawaii as a gift for my birthday last week. If you don't believe me, I'll show you the original documents."
