NovelFinishChapter 362 Elysia gave him a meaningful look, "Yeah, a dog, a rabid one at that!" Tarquin's face darkened, "Have you had your rabies shot?!" Elysia froze, "Huh? Why would I need a rabies shot?" Tarquin scowled, "You're tellingyou got bitten by a rabid dog and didn't think to get a rabies shot?!" "I... I said he was like a rabid dog, doesn't mean he's actually mad. He's just... overly aggressive!" "And you're still alive after dealing with that kind of aggression?" Elysia was speechless, "Are you wishing I got bitten to death? How would that benefit you?!" Tarquin's expression grew even darker, "When did this bite happen?" Elysia replied irritably, "On the way back after dropping you off!" "Didn't see a doctor?" "The dog wasn't actually rabid, why would I see a doctor?! Drop it, I'm taking the clothes!" Elysia quickly tried to leave but was stopped by Tarquin, "Hold it!" Elysia was exasperated, "Now what?!" Tarquin's expression was stern, "Letsee that towel." Elysia was shocked, "What... what for?" "To check the bite on your neck!" "Why would you want to see that?!" "Can't I?" "No!" "Why not?" "It's not proper for men and women to... to be so informal!" Tarquin rolled his eyes, "Pretentious much? Your neck's been out in the open for everyone to see, hasn't it?!" Elysia, finding no way to argue, begrudgingly said, "It's not about can't, I just don't want you to see it!" "Why not?" "No reason!" Tarquin, visibly upset, pressed on, "Elysia, don't makedo it myself. Hand over the towel." He needed to see how vicious this 'dog' was, to see the extent of Elysia's injuries. Was there a need to rush her for a rabies shot? Elysia, becoming emotional, retorted, "Are you insane? It's none of your business, why are you so keen on seeing it?!" Tarquin, with a stern voice, countered, "How is it not my business? You're in my house, you got bitten by a 'dog' and didn't get a rabies shot. What if that dog had a contagious disease? I have to be responsible for myself and Elijah!" Elysia was at a loss for words; he was comparing her to a dog, and not in a fond way. If only she hadn't referred to him as a dog! But she didn't want him to see the bite marks, afraid it would bring back memories of the previous night. Elysia quickly changed her story, "It wasn't a dog bite, it was a person." "A person bit you?" "Yeah." "But you said it was a dog earlier?" "It was a person!" Tarquin stared at her for a few seconds, then realization dawned on him, gritting his teeth, "You... you had a date with someone else while droppingoff last night?!" Elysia didn't bother to explain, letting him think what he wanted.
Seeing her silent acceptance, Tarquin grew furious, "You... how could you be so shameless?! You could have either droppedoff first or gone on your date first! To think you'd date him while on the way to dropoff, isn't that disgusting?!" So, in his eyes, her dating someone else while dropping him off was like bringing him along on the date? "I..."
"Stay away fromwith your indecent affairs from now on, and tell your 'wild man' not to cnear you when I'm around! Don't disgust me! And cover up your neck properly, don't let Elijah see and be bothered by it! Get lost." Elysia was rendered speechless.
Alright, he admitted himself as the 'wild man'!
Ignoring his verbal jabs, nothing compared to the fear of him discovering the truth, Elysia grabbed the clothes and headed back to the study room to change. Though he didn't remember last night's events, she couldn't linger. It was best to leave quickly. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
