NovelFinishChapter 331 Tarquin's gaze was intense, almost piercing. "Do you know her?!" "Who?" "Elijah's mother!" Huh? Elysia was taken aback by his sudden mention of Elijah's mother, pausing for a moment before shaking her head. "I don't know her!" But Tarquin clearly wasn't buying it, his voice laced with a warning edge. "Elysia, you better think carefully before you answer." Elysia frowned, her irritation growing. "I have absolutely no connection with Elijah's mother. I don't know her!" Tarquin stressed each word. "Then tell me, why were you trying to take off my shirt tonight?!" "I..." Elysia bit her lip, hesitant.

Yet, she couldn't voice her thoughts! Doing so would reveal their past encounter six years ago, leading him to question the origins of the children! As she remained silent, Tarquin pushed for an answer. "If you can't givea convincing explanation, you'll never escape my sight again!" He had guessed it. Elysia trying to take off his shirt had to do with the bite mark on his body! It hit him just tonight.
The first tthey met, Elysia had asked him to take off his shirt, which he initially thought was her flirting with him! Then, during their interactions, she sneaked into his room at midnight, attempting to strip him, making him think she was shameless, wanting more! Today, she was almost frantic for him to strip, and when he refused, she dared to knock him out to do it herself! After undressing him, she did nothing, clearly not intending to take advantage of him! And she had repeatedly stated that she wasn't attracted to him! She didn't like him as a person, nor was she lusting after his body, so her anxious attempt to strip him likely meant she wanted to see the bite mark on his shoulder to confirm something! That bite mark was left by Elijah's mother, a secret known only to him, her, and the heavens! Why would Elysia know about it? Either Elysia was Elijah's mother. Or, Elysia knew Elijah's mother, who had told her about the bite mark! Clearly, the answer was the latter. Because he had Benjamin perform a paternity test before, which showed Elysia and Elijah were not related by blood. Benjamin wouldn't lie to him, so Elysia wasn't Elijah's mother, leaving only the latter as the answer.
Elysia knew Elijah's mother! That's why he was so desperate to confront Elysia and prevent her from leaving! And he wouldn't casually mention the bite mark; it was a secret shared between him and Elijah's mother! Only if he was a hundred percent sure of Elysia's motives tonight would he bring it up.
Both harboring their secrets, emotions ran high. Elysia, struggling for breath, couldn't find the words under Tarquin's intense gaze, sensing he might know something. Pressuring her to speak about the bite mark! But she couldn't reveal the truth! "Speak!" Tarquin's command was cold.

With a predatory gaze, Tarquin left Elysia in a state of panic. Unable to tell the truth and without a suitable •En.
lie, she had only one option...
Elysia turned and ran, trying to escape him. But Tarquin didn't give her the chance, his long strides easily catching up, blocking her path. colliding into his chest, Elysia's forehead throbbed with pain. Like a bird trapped in a cage, she stumbled, touching her sore forehead, then turned to run in another direction. Tarquin's grip was swift, catching her arm and pinning her against the wooden pillar of the gazebo.
"Ah-"
Elysia's arm winced under his firm grasp, and her back slammed against the solid wood! The pain in her arm and back was so intense, tears were almost spilling from her eyes. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
