Chapter 415 "....Oh." "Mom, what are we having for lunch?" Elijah shifted Elysia's attention.
Elysia immediately asked, "What do you feel like eating?" "I want beef stir-fry with rice." "No problem, I'll get right on it." "Mhm." After Elysia left, Elijah quickly got in touch with Elliot.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBy this time, Nola had arrived at the preschool, and the teachers were organizing the kids to go out to the playground to receive the gifts Nola had brought.
Evan recognized her immediately and exclaimed, "It's that ugly lady! What Angel Lady? She's more like an old witch, for heaven's sake! Ugh, teachers are such liars!" Today, Nola cto the preschool to donate money and gifts, but the teachers, unaware of her true character, told the children that an Angel Lady was visiting.
Elliot also recognized Nola, watching her from a distance with a frown.
Emmett, of course, recognized her too. The sight of her reminded him of being kicked viciously with her high heel at the train station, making him hide behind Evan, "That mean lady! What is she doing here?" Elliot, seeing Nola standing on the stage and searching the crowd, said unhappily, "She's probably here for us, no surprise there." Evan was furious, "Is she asking for it again?!" Elliot's smartwatch suddenly beeped. It was Elijah calling.
"Let's head to the restroom to take Elijah's call, then we can deal with her." "Okay." The three little guys excused themselves to the restroom under the pretense of needing to use it, stepping away from the playground.
As soon as the call connected, Elijah said, "Dad must have done another paternity test!" Elliot's brows knitted, "When did he do it?" "It must have been last night. Dad showed up in Mom's room late at night. It was White breaking a vase that drewover there, then Dad left the house and didn't cback all night. He just rushed back ha while ago and immediately started askingabout the night he got drunk. That's when he started doubting Mom! Mom had toldbefore, if Dad asks, to say that she and I slept together that night." "And then?" "I did what Mom told me, I told Dad that Mom and I were together that night." "How did he react?" "...He seemed disappointed, upset. If I'm not wrong, he must have gone for a paternity test last night, and the results showed that Mom and I aren't related by blood. He rushed back to seethis morning, probably to confirm it one last time. This time, Dad must have given up hope for good." Elliot asked, "Where is he now?" "He left again, he looked upset."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElijah also sounded a bit down. If Tarquin wasn't happy, neither was he. Although he too wished Tarquin would give up on the paternity issue. Elliot comforted him, "It's probably for the best that he's lost all hope. That way, his feelings for Mom can be pure! No guilt, no obligation to make amends. If he falls for Mom under these circumstances, it's genuine love! It's better for both him and Mom." Elijah understood, "Yeah!"
"By the way, Nola showed up at the preschool today, seems like she's here for us three: Do you know why?" Elijah frowned, "She went to the preschool?" "Yeah." "I don't know why she's there, but she showed up looking for Dad last night. Be careful, she's not a good person." "....Yeah." After chatting for a bit, the brothers hung up.
Elliot decided to put Tarquin's issue aside for now, focusing instead on Yola, Evan was right, this bad lady might be looking for trouble again! mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
