NovelFinishChapter 491 Elliot's lips quivered slightly before he said, "If you can catch him without any trouble, I'll be seriously impressed!" Tarquin chuckled, "Alright, for the sake of your admiration, I'll catch him tonight! Unless he's not in Future Community!" The little guy, with a stern expression, emphasized, "Without any trouble!" What he really meant was for it to be done safely, for crying out loud! Tarquin laughed again. Although he wasn't particularly interested in Elysia, he genuinely liked her kids. Being a father himself, he had a soft spot for children in general, but not quite like the deep fondness he felt for Elliot, Evan, and Emmett.
That's why he had previously thought to himself how great it would be if they were his kids! He started to envy that unfortunate man who had passed away too soon! While envying, a question suddenly popped into Tarquin's mind. He wanted to catch the mysterious man because he was a threat to him, and he knew something about Elijah's mother, not to mention that one thing he said... But why did Elliot want to catch him? Curiosity got the better of Tarquin, and he asked.
Elliot replied earnestly, "I'm afraid he'll harass my mom!" "You don't want Elysia to be with him?" "No!" "Why not?" "Anyone who deserves my mom has to be able to live openly in broad daylight, not lurk in the shadows like him!" That was the bare minimum! Mom was radiant like the sunshine, hopeful about the future like a child! Elysia was easy-going and optimistic about life. Anyone who wanted to be with her had to be positive and sunny at heart! At the very least, they had to be honorable and straightforward! Otherwise, they could stay as far away from their mom as possible! Tarquin seemed to understand, once again reaching out to ruffle his hair, "Elysia is lucky to have you guys." Elliot corrected him, "Being able to have her as our mom is our luck. You don't understand how great she is!" Tarquin smiled again. Was this kid blindly idolizing? "What are you laughing at? You think my mom isn't good?" Elliot asked, displeased.
Tarquin answered honestly, "No, she's just a bit naive, a bit too fond of the finer things, but not bad at heart." Elliot was unhappy with that description, "What do you mean 'not bad'? What's bad about my mom?" Tarquin hesitated for a moment before asking, "You're so smart, don't you know what Elysia did six years ago? Her actions back then were not commendable."
Tarquin didn't intend to bad-mouth Elysia in front of Elliot; he was merely curious. Back then, Elysia's affair had caused a scandal, leading to her a being kicked out by her husband. Her reputation suffered... Elliot, Evan, and Emmett must know about this, yet why did they still think of Elysia as perfect, without a single flaw? Elliot knew what he meant and instantly got angry, "Foolish! Ignorant! Unreasonable!"
After saying his piece, he stormed off, but then, pausing at the door as if still fuming, he turned around and added, "Elijah mentioned you're trying to woo my mom. Well, a word of advice, watch yourself, or you might end up crying all the way to the funeral hchasing after your wife!" With that, Elliot turned and left!
Calling him ignorant and foolish because despite investigating his mom and knowing about the scandal six years ago, the affair, and how she was thrown out by her husband! How could he not see the connection between his mom and that estranged wife he'd been seeking? Wasn't that the epitof ignorance? Not recognizing his mom as the woman he'd been searching for could be overlooked, given the manipulations of the mysterious man and the evidence pointing otherwise. But why on earth hadn't he connected his mom with his wife? mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
