Chapter 479 The phone rang for quite a while before Blossom picked up. "Hey, Elysia." The sight of Blossom on the video call took Elysia by surprise! She quickly shifted the camera away, worried Tarquin would see and scold her, saying, "Have you lost your mind, answering a video call in the shower?" Blossom just chuckled and replied, "Con, you're practically family. Plus, I'm all wrapped up in a towel now. Why are you calling at this hour anyway? Weren't you off to sguy's place for dinner?" Sguy? Tarquin's expression changed instantly. Was she talking about him? Elysia's awkward attempt to smile faltered as she quickly changed the subject.
She showed Blossom around the kitchen, showcasing the seafood spread, and asked if she wanted to cover for dinner, mentioning it was Elijah's dad who had invited her over as a thank you for being so kind to Elijah.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBlossom practically drooled at the sight, "Holy moly! He's really splurging! That looks delicious! But I've got plans tonight, so I can't make it, what a shame! I would've loved sof that bluefin tuna and crab bisque. Hey Elysia, maybe you could pack sup for me?!" No sooner had Blossom finished her sentence than the call suddenly dropped.
Elysia tried calling back but it was busy. She must have been receiving another call.
Tarquin asked Elysia, "Who's this guy?" Elysia's attempt at a smile twitched as she bravely countered, "What guy?" "The one Ms. Blythe just mentioned." "You must have misheard, she didn't mention any guy!" "Do you think I'm an idiot or just hard of hearing?" Elysia: "...Alright, it's just a silly nicknwe have for guys around us. We call them 'sguy' just for fun, it's not about you." Tarquin clearly didn't buy her story.
After looking displeased for a moment, he didn't press further; instead, his thoughts returned to Blossom.
Blossom was in the shower? That meant when Axel had someone knock on her door earlier, she probably didn't hear it because she was in the shower.
If she had been at hall along, then she definitely wasn't the mysterious person.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe figured the mystery person was likely male, and Blossom might have just been used by him.
Tarquin asked Elysia, "Is Blossom seeing anyone? Or does she have any close male friends?" Elysia, puzzled, asked, "Why do you want to know?" "Just curious." Elysia frowned, "Are you interested in Blossom?" Tarquin knew what she was implying; his interest in Blossom wasn't what she was thinking.
Unable to explain, he made up an excuse, "Asking for a friend." "A friend? Lowell?" "No, Axel." "Who's Axel?" "You don't know him, but he's met you guys." "He's into Blossom?" "Sort of." Axel: ??? What the heck, man? Why are you dragginginto this? Elysia was confused, "What do you mean 'sort of"?"
Tarquin explained, "He didn't say much, and I didn't ask 190. didn't ask to manym details, just helping him out."
Elysia thought it over, "If you're asking about Blossom's relationship status, Axel must be interested in her. What's Axel like? What does he do? How old is he?" "I was just asking, not playing matchmaker. Axel's a good guy, that's all."
Elysia pursed her lips, "It's fine, it's not like it's sbig secret. Blossom's single, and she doesn't really have any close guy friends." Tarquin was puzzled, "Really? No one?" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
