Chapter 453 In the quaint little town of Everwood, nestled between rolling hills and vibrant greenery, Blossom's phone rang unexpectedly, disrupting the quiet of an otherwise ordinary afternoon. It was from the head of Little Sprouts Preschool, informing her that Nola wished for a private meeting with Elliot, Evan, and Emmett.
The reason? A rumor sparked by Elliot's offhand remark about Nola being "pregnant" had gone viral, and now, Nola wanted to clear the air directly with the boys.
Blossom, known for her close friendship with Elysia, was tasked by the preschool to facilitate this sensitive conversation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs soon as the call ended, Blossom shared the news with Elysia. Both of them were unaware of Nola's relationships with Elijah and Tarquin.
"No way, did Nola ask the school officials herself?" Elysia inquired, a mix of surprise and concern knitting her brow.
"Yes, since the rumor started there, she reached out to them, hoping they'd connect with you," Blossom explained, her tone underscored with reluctance.
Elysia frowned, her protective instincts kicking in. "Can't I just meet her alone? I worry she might lash out at the boys." Blossom shook her head, conveying Nola's insistence on meeting the boys. The dilemma was clear: refusing the meeting could not only impact Blossom's standing at work but also potentially jeopardize the boys' schooling. They had managed to get into Little Sprouts through screative paperwork, after all.
Before Elysia could ponder further, Elliot emerged from his room, instantly sensing the tension. Upon learning of Nola's request, he dismissed his mother's concerns with a carefree grin.
"Let's meet her, Mom. No worries. She just wants to talk, that's all." But Elliot knew better. Nola's intentions were likely anything but pure, yet he chose not to burden his mother with these suspicions. He also had sthings he wanted to discuss with Nola, and this was a good opportunity. Elysia worried, "I'm afraid she'll take it out on you." "Mom, Nola is a big star, a public figure. She'll be mindful of her image. Don't worry, I'll talk to her. Where are they suggesting we meet?" Blossom replied, "At the Slater family home. They want to avoid being seen in public and potentially getting photographed, which could lead to more gossip." At the mention of the Slater family home, Elliot's demeanor shifted ever so slightly, though he maintained his reassuring smile for his mother's sake. "Mom, agree to the meeting. There's nothing to worry about," he said, helping Elysia feel more at ease.
After much thought, Elysia allowed Blossom to inform the school that they would attend the meeting.
Once back in his room, Elliot quickly gathered his brothers for a strategy session, informing them about Nola's request for a meeting at the Slater family home.

"But... Nola is impulsive and malicious. She probably woke up furious and wants to confront us. It's not like her to patiently arrange a meeting at home," Elliot continued. "Does that mean someone else is behind this?" Elijah asked, frowning.
"Nola's mother, Aileen, is known for being cunning and ruthless," Elijah added.
Elliot narrowed his eyes slightly, "No wonder. This doesn't fit Nota's usual behavior Have you looked into Alleen?" Elijah nodded, "While searching for Mom, I investigated Nola and ended up looking into Aileen too."
