NovelFinishChapter 455 Evan scoffed, "Sure, I can be nice, but why should I pamper you? My mom could givea beating, and I wouldn't get mad. I'd just worry about her hand hurting. But who do you think you are?" Nola was furious, "You cinto my house and act like you own the place? You really think you're bold, don't you? Believe me, I could make you regret it so fast, you'd wish you were mute!" Evan narrowed his eyes at her, "I've always thought violence can't solve anything. But it sure can handle those who start it. If you want to go down that road, I won't hold back. Let's see if it's my tongue or your hands that get taken out of the gfirst!" "You... Security!" Nola called for security, aiming to deal with Evan, but Aileen intercepted.

Turning to the kids, she smiled, "Nola's actually a sweetheart and loves kids. She's just upset about something she saw online, so don't take it personally. All the snacks and toys on the table are for you. Feel free to treat this place like home. Relax." Elliot inwardly rolled his eyes. Acting, who can't do it? He chimed in with a smile, "Evan's just being Evan. He tailors his chat to his audience, so don't mind him." Aileen shot him a look, "Am I not a person?" Frowning slightly, then shaking it off with a smile, Aileen said, "At my age, I'm not about to start petty fights with kids. Elliot, tell me, has your mom ever... you know, taken you guys for a little cosmetic touch-up?" "Not at all. Why would we need that? Only someone really insecure would go under the knife." Aileen, who had her own history with cosmetic procedures, took a moment to sip her iced tea to calm herself, then asked, "Why did you publicly claim Nola was pregnant today?" Elliot responded, "Her outfit looked a bit puffy, so we just assumed." "Assumed? So, it was a misunderstanding?" "Yeah." "It wasn't something your mom put you up to?" "Of course not. She didn't even know we were going to the daycare." Aileen squinted slightly, "Did your mom ever mention Elijah's dad to you?" "She did. She's been taking care of Elijah, making sure he's fed and clothed." "Did she ever mention wanting Elijah's dad to be your dad?" Elliot bit his lip involuntarily, "No, she never said that." "No? But Elijah's dad is quite the catch. Your mom's not interested?" "Not interested." Aileen was half-convinced, "Why not?"
Seizing the moment, Elliot said, "Elijah's dad is great, but we're m leaving Jingale City soon. We're not staying long, so there's no chance for them to be together." That was the message he wanted to send to Nola and her mom.

He hoped to divert their attention.
Only by making them believe thein mom was would leaving, and wouldn't be with Tarquin, could they stop seeing her as a threat. It was his way of protecting his mom from their harassment and harm.
Sure enough, Aileen was intrigued, "You're leaving Jindale City?"
"Yeah, coming to Jindale City was just for Mom's work not to settle e down." "When are you leaving?" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
