NovelOnlineChapter 283 Elijah frowned, his eyes darting around with a mix of suspicion and caution. "What?!" Elliot said, "If everything goes as expected, we should be brothers." Evan chimed in, "Sdad and different moms, to be precise." Elijah's eyes widened in shock. "No way!" Elliot's voice was soothing. "I heard about you from Mom. She's always been there for you. It looks like we're all Tarquin's kids, hence the resemblance." Elijah gasped, "My dad always said he has only been with my mom!" Elliot's lips twitched. His mom and Tarquin were the official couple; so, no matter how much Elijah's mom and Tarquin loved each other, she was still the other woman.

Elliot felt that their relationship was a bit delicate, but since his mom always wanted the best for Elijah, he hoped for the same.
So, he tried not to upset Elijah, "Let's not get into what the adults did. We chere because Mom rushed over after getting a frantic call from your dad late at night. We were worried about her. Since you've found us, I might as well lay it all out. I was the one who stood in for you at the family ceremony today..." Elliot laid out the whole story, then added, "My mom is a good person, and she cares about you a lot. She was worried about backlash, so we cup with this plan. It was actually my idea.
Don't worry,standing in for you at the family ceremony was purely for you and my mom's sake. We're not going back to the Bradford family to fight over anything." After a long silence, Elijah asked, "So, you were the one who messed with my computer?" When it cto this, Elliot had his own questions. He nodded, "Yes, I was trying to look something up and didn't realize your computer had a password lock. Do you... play a lot on your computer?" Elijah didn't respond, implicitly agreeing.

Curiosity satisfied, Elijah steered the conversation back to Tarquin and Elysia, "What's the real deal with my dad and your mom? My dad clearly toldhe had nothing to do with your mom! If you won't tell me, I'll find out myself." Elliot hesitated before choosing his words carefully, "They were married before, but it was loveless. They even hadn't met each other. Then, your dad cback from abroad and had a one-night stand with my mom, resulting in us. Ironically, they didn't recognize each other during their encounter, so your dad thought my mom cheated on him in their marriage, leading to a divorce and leaving my mom with nothing. When he said he had nothing to do with my mom, he wasn't lying; he genuinely didn't know her." Elijah was stunned.
Evan quickly asked Elijah, "What's the story between your mom and that jerk Tarquin?"
Elijah frowned, "I don't know. Dad never mentioned it, only that mym mom was the love of his life and the only woman he ever touched."
Evan snorted, "Liar. If he never touched my mom, how would my brother and I exist? Plus, if he truly loved your mom, why didn't he marry her?" Elijah's face darkened. He went silent, unable to respond.
Evan continued, "Liking your mom but not giving her a hshows a on lack of capability. Not liking my mom but still getting involved with her is just scummy. So, in summary, Tarquin is no good." "Ah-choo!" Tarquin, in the study, sneezed loudly.
