NovelOnlineChapter 276 Elysia was absolutely touched. That little guy really had his head on straight! Watching the little one throw off the quilts and climb down from bed, she quickly asked, "Elijah, where are you off to?" "Going to the bathroom." "Oh, alright then, you go ahead. I'll head to the kitchen and whip something up for you." As she finished speaking, she remembered Elliot and turned to Tarquin, "You should head out too! Don't be nosy; it's really rude!" Tarquin rolled his eyes at her, convinced she wasn't capable of anything significant, so he didn't give it much thought and left.
His arrogance and underestimation cost him a golden opportunity to discover his own son! Once everyone had left, Elysia took several deep breaths to calm down. That was a close call.

She could only gently tap on the bed frame, signaling Elliot to hold on and stay hidden a little longer.
Elysia then left the room too, making sure to close the door behind her, fearing Tarquin might sneak back in. She put him to work, "Please helpto peel these garlics; we need a lot. I'm making garlic shrimp for Elijah." Tarquin was lounging on the couch, barely lifting an eyelid before glaring at her, "Me? Peel?" "What's wrong with you peeling? Don't tellyou don't know how! And after that, please clean these green onions too." Tarquin just stared.
Elysia, with a stern tone, said, "Do it yourself if you want to eat. If you don't want to work, you can skip lunch. And remember, you're not doing it for me; you're doing it for your son." Tarquin frowned deeply but tossed his phone on the coffee table and started peeling the garlic.
Elysia, satisfied, tied on her apron to start preparing lunch.
After a while, Tarquin approached her with his phone, "Do you recognize this person?" Elysia, busy washing vegetables, glanced over, "Nope." "Look closely." "How can I see clearly if he's wearing a mask? Is he cosplaying or something?" "You've never seen him?" "Never!" "He was the one who attacked Allegra that day, and he was lurking around our building last night. I think he was looking for you." Elysia paused, set the vegetables on the counter, wiped her hands on her apron, and took his phone to look closely at the photo.

Tarquin observed her for a few seconds, seeming to believe she wasn't lying, and put away his phone, casually stating, "Bring your eldest son over this afternoon." Elysia was startled, "Who?" "Your eldest son." "Why... why do you need my son?!" "Just to ask him a few questions." "About what?"
Tarquin continued peeling garlic, not looking up, "It was your eldest who found her and called the police that day want to know if he saw this man." Elysia's heart raced, "My son said he found Allegra by accident that day! He definitely has nothing to do with this man!"
"I didn't say they were connected. I just want to gather sinformation." "There's nothing to gather! 'n warning you, stay away from my son!" Tarquin looked up at her, "I'm just asking, why are you so defensive?" "I'm not being defensive. I just don't want you messing with my son!" "I'm not going to hurt him or something." Elysia's lips quivered, "My son is timid. I don't want him to get scared by you!" Tarquin countered, "Timid? Going to the park at night alone?" "He wasn't alone; he was with his brother!"
"So they're both brave. You didn't mention it, but now you remind me, please bring your younger son too. I'd like to meet them both." Elysia was taken aback. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
