Chapter 291 Blossom and the boys were still in the living room, munching on snacks, when Elysia dashed to the foyer, hurriedly slipping into her shoes while explaining, “Elijah's downstairs. I'm gonna check it out. You guys eat. Elliot, Evan, Emmett, hurry up and get ready for bed once you're done." Before she left, she threw Blossom a look, silently asking her to keep an eye on the tand make sure they didn't wander downstairs. Blossom responded with a reassuring glance.
When Elysia reached the bottom of the stairs, the sight of Elijah and Tarquin standing in the rain caught her off guard! She'd rushed out so quickly she'd forgotten to grab an umbrella.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDarting into the rain, she quickly ushered Elijah into the entryway. Without a towel handy, she used her own shirt to wipe his face and hair dry. Once his face was clean, she noticed Elijah was crying.
Elysia was taken aback. "Elijah, what's wrong?" Tears blurred Elijah's vision as he looked at her, his lips trembling violently. He wanted to call out 'Mommy' but was too nervous to utter a word. Though his lips moved, no sound cout! He stomped his feet in frustration, repeatedly calling out for his mommy in his heart.
This was his mommy! The one he missed every single moment of every day! His beautiful, silly, gentle, adorable, soft mommy! He had searched for her so long, thought of her so much, hoped for so long, yearned so deeply! And now he had finally found her! Words couldn't express the depth of his emotions, all bottled up inside. Elijah could only let his tears flow. He cried so hard that he beca little rainstorm himself.
Both shocked and heartbroken, Elysia wrapped Elijah tightly in her arms, her brow furrowed as she looked towards Tarquin.
Tarquin, with a furrowed brow himself, had no answers to give. He was just as clueless! He had no idea what had gotten into Elijah! All Elysia could do was patiently lift Elijah into her arms, soothing him as any mother would soothe her child, walking back and forth, murmuring, "Let it all out, sweetheart. Crying is okay. I'm here..." Elijah clung to her neck, crying so pitifully. He had missed her so much, for so many years, through so many days and nights! He had finally found his mommy! He finally had a mommy! Elysia's heart ached. As Elijah cried, she felt tears stinging her own eyes.
In that moment, she felt an overwhelming desire to take Elijah away from Tarquin. She wanted to be his mommy! She wanted to care for him just as she did for Elliot, Evan, and Emmett! She couldn't explain where this surge of emotion cfrom, but she simply adored Elijah, felt for him deeply, and couldn't bear to let him go! Unable to hold back, Elysia hugged Elijah tightly and began to cry as well.

He desperately wanted to know what was going on with his son! Though Elijah liked Elysia, this was beyond normal! What was his son feeling so wronged about? What was he sad about? And... what was he so thrilled about? After what seemed like an eternity, when he saw his son finally close his eyes and quiet down, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Elijah?" "Shh, don't worry, he must have cried himself to sleep." "Cried himself to sleep?" "Yeah, probably overwhelmed with emotions." Tarquin was speechless.
Elysia, still holding Elijah, quietly asked him, "What exactly happened to Elijah?" "I don't know. He suddenly said he missed you and wanted to find you." "But there has to be sreason, right?" "I'm not sure."
Elysia gave him a meaningful glance. Not daring to take Elijah back with her, Elysia suggested, Let's get him hfirst. His clothes are soaking wet; he needs to change."
"Yeah." Tarquin hesitated for al moment before adding. "Cwith us, please. I'm worried hei might wake up again and fuss about wanting to see you."
"Alright!" Elysia, holding Elijah, walked towards the car, while Tarquin held cars while(Tarquin the umbrella over them. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
