NovelFinishChapter 484 Evan even muttered under his breath, "Is that it? How dull." Tarquin: "..." Elliot, however, gave Tarquin an appreciative glance, secretly admiring him for knowing how to play his cards right.
This was indeed a surprise for Mom! Elliot knew Elysia best, and her eyes were as wide as saucers! She was utterly astonished as she gazed at Tarquin, "For... for me?" "Yeah." "Can I use it for anything?" "Yeah." "How... how much can I spend? How much per month?" "As much as you want." Elysia's breath hitched, shocked, "Is this card unlimited?" "For now, yes." "Seriously? You're not pulling my leg, are you?" Tarquin: "...Do I look like I'm entertaining a toddler?" His words had barely left his mouth when he felt a kick under the table. Elijah had stealthily kicked him.
Tarquin glanced at his son and had no choice but to reassure Elysia, "Yes, really. I'm not joking." "...But wait, I thought all those unlimited cards I see on TV are black? Why is this one white?" Tarquin was about to roll his eyes at her when he caught Elijah's warning look.

Tarquin jumped at her sudden movement.
Just as he was about to ask what got into her, Elysia grabbed the bottle of wine from the table and poured herself a full glass.
She looked at him as if making a vow, "From this day forward, let's wipe the slate clean! Whoever brings up past grievances is a dog!" With that, she downed the wine in one go.
And then she poured another, "From now on, we live in peace. You showrespect, and I swear I'll double it!" And with that, she downed another glass.
Not satisfied with just one, she went for three in a row! Tarquin watched her, puzzled by her bold declarations.
The kids knew all too well.

Mom was clearly dazzled by the money...

Her determination to live peacefully with their stepdad meant she was I meant ready to let go of past pains and turn a new leaf. That was something to be happy about.
