Chapter 414 \"What on earth are you worried about, Mom? Can you just talk to me?\" Nola pressed.
Aileen snapped out of her reverie. Her daughter was too naive; explaining too much would only confuse her more and possibly mess things up. "There's nothing to worry about. But if that person contacts you again, you must tellimmediately, got it?\" "...Oh.\" \"Anyway, you can't just do things on your own anymore. You need to telleverything from now on. Tomorrow at preschool, you better make sure Elysia's sons like you. That's the only way you'll get close to Elysia.\" \"I got it, Mom. Just a few brats, I can handle them! Don't worry.\" \"...\" Meanwhile, Elysia was blissfully unaware of the schNola and her mother were plotting against her.
The next morning, she woke up to the sight of her son Elijah sleeping beside her, her heart instantly filled with joy.

If this was the universe making up for her past hardships, she truly hit the jackpot! While the little one was still sleeping, Elysia sneaked a kiss on his forehead, then cheerfully went to make breakfast.
She started by putting oatmeal on the stove, then headed to the bathroom to freshen up.
The toothbrush on the sink looked just the sas yesterday, and she didn't notice anything amiss, beginning her morning routine.
After freshening up, she dove back into making breakfast.
It was only after breakfast was ready that she realized Tarquin wasn't home.
She didn't think much of it, enjoying a pleasant morning with Elijah.
Just before noon, Tarquin crushing back.
He didn't even glance at Elysia, scooping up Elijah and retreating to the bedroom, locking the door behind them. "What's wrong, Daddy?\" Elijah asked, puzzled.
Tarquin, with furrowed brows, asked, \"Elijah, tell Daddy the truth. Where did you sleep the night Daddy was drunk, and where did Elysia sleep?\" \"What happened?\" Elijah frowned.
"Just answer Daddy!\" The curtains fluttered suddenly, and Elijah saw White hiding behind them.
The pet snake, flicking its tongue, seemed to be signaling something. When Tarquin looked, White quickly hid again.

He was curious about White.
Yesterday, during the family reunion, Evan had told him a lot about White's intelligence and how Evan had sent White to protect Mommy. The vase breaking last night must have been White's doing, just to get his attention.
Now, with Daddy suddenly asking about that night, it surely had something to do with Mommy'sm identity, Remembering Mommy's advice, Elijah said, \"Mommy and I were together that night. We slept together.\" Tarquin's expression was indescribable, as if his heart had sunk... Elijah felt sorry for him, \"Daddy...\" Tarquin steadied himself, \"Daddy has serrands to run. I won't be back for lunch today, okay?\" With that, he turned and left.
Elysia, puzzled in the living room, watched the scene unfold. Tarquin and she locked eyes for a few seconds before he frowned and left. Confused, Elysia hurried to ask Elijah, \"What's going on?\" Elijah unfurrowed his brows, \"It's nothing. Daddy said he won't be back for lunch; he must be busy with work. Mommy, don't worry about him.\" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
