NovelFinishChapter 486 Tending to every need, from offering a glass of water, wiping faces and hands, to pulling off shoes and socks, their care knew no bounds; it was kindness incarnate.
Tarquin just stood there, speechless.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWas Elysia his true love, and he merely an unexpected chapter in her life? President Bradford, feeling a surge of jealousy, metaphorically gulped down a whole barrel of vinegar before kicking it over in frustration. He then quickly showered, changed into a fresh set of clothes, and by the the was done, he found the four little ones huddled at the bedside, chattering away.
"Mommy is so beautiful, even more than a fairy." "Mommy is so cute when she's tipsy, she even sang the national anthem." "Have you noticed? Mommy is even softer when she sleeps." "Ha!" Tarquin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
All four heads whipped towards him, their eyes not exactly friendly, "What's so funny?!" Facing their icy stares, Tarquin pursed his lips, "Nothing. I'll go wash the dishes." As he turned towards the kitchen, he could still feel the chill in the air behind him.
He couldn't help but muse: Ignorance truly is bliss! It seemed Elysia must have saved the galaxy in her past life to be so adored by her children in this one.
Rolling up his sleeves, Tarquin efficiently cleaned up the kitchen and dining area.
Just as he was finishing, a call from Axel cthrough.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSensing it was important, Tarquin headed to the study to answer, "What's up?" "All the stray cats in Future Community are dead. It's the work of our mystery person." Tarquin's frown deepened, "When did this happen?" "Just found out. They said the cats' bodies were still warm, so it must have been recent given the weather." As Tarquin lit a cigarette, he wondered, was this a random act of cruelty, or a threat because Axel had been tracking Blossom? "Did you and Blossom head back?" "Not yet." Tarquin took a drag, "So, you were out for an hour, but the cats were killed recently. This means after you left, our mystery person was in Future Community! Or perhaps they have an accomplice there!" Axel replied, "The way the cats were killed, it looks like the mystery person's doing, but we can't rule out an imitator." Tarquin took another puff, "Who did Blossom meet tonight?" "She's at the animal clinic, hasn't left yet. She's been helping stray cats for years, ctonight because one she recently rescued had surgery. She was there to check on it and settle the bill." "It seems Blossom is clear for now, but it's possible the mystery person set this up after realizing you were following her.' "Did you check everyone at the animal clinic?" "Yeah, no suspects." After a moment of thought, Tarquin instructed, "Keep an eye on Blossom. I'll handle Future Community." Ending the call, Tarquin smoked in deep contemplation before calling Elliot into the study.
The moment Elliot smelled the smoke, he commented, "My mommy hates the smell of smoke." Tarquin thought to himself: What does that have to do with me?
But wanting to avoid upsetting Elliot, he kept his complaints to himself and said, "I need access to Future community's surveillance footage, especially around your building."
He knew Elliot had tampered with the local surveillance, and without his permission their investigation would hit a dead end. Elliot frowned immediately, worried.
If Tarquin saw the footage, wouldn't that expose him and Evan? After all, they weren't always in disguise. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
