Chapter 443 Elliot and his gang were taken aback, "Found him?" "It's Dad, of all people!" "Huh?" Elijah said, "I just discovered that the folks trying to break into the hotel'swork today were two groups: a mystery guy and Dad!" Elliot frowned, "So, Tarquin knew about our plan tonight." Elijah speculated, "He must've seen the post you made using Nola's account and put two and two together." Elliot muttered, "No wonder I felt something off about him today." Evan had a sudden realization, "I knew someone was tailing us tonight! Right when we left the complex and hopped into the cab, I sensed something fishy. It must've been him watching us, and I just overlooked it!" Elijah added, "Dad tried to hack into the hotel system but didn't manage to find out what you guys discussed with the mystery person. But he's definitely onto us for using Nola as bait to fish out the mystery guy! And he's surely caught on to your skills! No surprises there, Dad's gonna want a chat." Just as Elijah finished, Elliot's smartwatch pinged with a message.
Elliot glanced at the screen and murmured, "He's made his move." The other three were tense, "What do we do now?" Elliot took a deep breath, "Well, since he's onto us, there's no point in playing dumb. Let's just lay it all out. It's also high the knew, even if he's no fan of Mom, he can't mess with her. Our mom's got backup!" "Right!" Elliot texted back Tarquin, setting up a meet downstairs.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGiven Evan's disdain for Tarquin, to prevent any rash actions upon seeing him, Elliot decided to meet Tarquin alone.
Elliot was wired, allowing the other three to eavesdrop on the conversation.
In the car downstairs, it was just father and son.
Elliot faced Tarquin, fearless.
With his makeup still on, he wasn't worried about Tarquin spotting anything amiss.
Tarquin regarded the young lad before him, his expression complex.

After a brief pause, Tarquin finally asked, "Do you know why I'm here to see you this late?" "I can guess." "Alright, then letask you. You went through all the trouble to meet this man in black. Do you know who he is now?" "Not yet." "And do you know what the man in black has to do with Nola?" "Well, five years ago, it was this man in black who contacted Nola, told her where to find Elijah, and then had her bring Elijah to you." "The man in black said so?" "Yeah." Tarquin furrowed his brows, "And how did you know he had a connection with Nola before meeting him?"
Elliot, cool and collected, responded smoothly, "Elijah told us Nola saved him back then. We wanted to help Elijah find his mom, so we started with Nola. We eavesdropped on her and learned that a stranger had contacted her, leading her to accidentally save Elijah. Just today, Nola cto visit us at the daycare, and we used that opportunity to lure out the mystery man, hoping to get info on Elijah's mom."
Elliot's explanation was seamless, leaving Tarquin without a lead. He lead. He pressed on, "Did you manage to find don. out anything about Elijah's mom?" Elliot shook his head straightforwardly, "No." "No? What did you guys talk about in that room for so long?" Elliot shared, "He was surprised to meet us instead of Nola. He was curious about our identities, kept saying he wanted to pursue our mom." Tarquin's brows knitted further, "He never mentioned Elijah's mother?" Elliot countered, "What exactly do you want to know?" "Everything! I want to know everything about Elijah's mother."
A flicker of something passed through Elliot's eyes as he selectively shared, "He knew about the incident at the airport six years ago. He knew Elijah's mother was carrying your child. So, after Elijah was born, he took him away. Then, he contacted Nola and through her, successfully delivered Elijah into your hands." Tarquin's brow furrowed deeply, "Why would he do that?" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
