NovelOnlineChapter 277 When she didn't turn him down, he wanted to see Elliot. But after she did, he even wanted to meet Evan! Elysia glared at him for a good while and ground her teeth, "There's no way I'm letting you meet my kids!" Tarquin couldn't fathom why, "Why not? Is there something wrong with your kids, or is it me?" "It's you! There's something wrong with your whole family... Well, no, Elijah's fine. It's just you!" Tarquin's face darkened, "Fine, if you won't bring them to me, I'll find them myself." "You dare! I'll fight you tooth and nail!" Tarquin just stared at her.
After a few seconds of locking eyes, Elysia softened, "You... givethe photo, and I'll take it back for them to see. I'll ask if they've seen this person for you!" Although puzzled, Tarquin didn't insist further. After all, his goal wasn't really to meet her sons but to investigate this masked man.
"I'll send it to you later." Elysia took a deep breath in relief.

Elysia knew it, so she quickly wiped her hands and brought out the oatmeal she had prepared in advance, "Elijah, have soatmeal to tide you over. You shouldn't eat too much right after waking up. After the oatmeal, we'll have lunch." Elijah responded with a cool 'hmm' and sat down to eat.
Tarquin glanced at his son and, grabbing a clove of garlic, sat opposite him, "Scared?" Elijah looked up, puzzled.
"Those wolves today were unexpected. I've had Lowell look into it. Don't worry." He didn't want his son to know the truth and get upset.
After hearing this, Elijah was even more confused, "What wolves?" 'Clang!' In the kitchen, the knife Elysia was holding dropped to the floor.
Both Tarquin and Elijah turned to look.
Tarquin stood up, "Did you hurt yourself?" "No, I'm fine." Elysia quickly picked up the knife and turned on the tap to wash it, visibly flustered.
Tarquin couldn't understand, "What's got you so jumpy?" "I'm not jumpy! When have I ever been jumpy?!" Elysia was irritable. Her mood had been like a roller coaster all day, all because of him! She and Elliot were in the room when he suddenly barged in; after that, he asked if she was hiding someone under the bed, which startled her. Then he suddenly mentioned wanting to see Elliot and Evan, which startled her again.

Wouldn't Tarquin realize the truth if he mentioned it?! If he found out, wouldn't that lead him straight to Elliot?! Elysia was both panicked and headachy.
Indeed, lying only leads to more lies. She hadn't thought through what would happen after the ceremony! How could she avoid being found out?
How could she ensure Elijah didn't give anything away, making Tarquin believe Elijah was the one at them reunions dele De at them reunion' 'Elysia, you've been acting strange today! 'Where there's smoke, there's fire'." Tarquin bluntly shared his thoughts.
