Chapter 299 Tarquin glared at her. "Yes!" Elysia was baffled. "How could that even be? I never discussed anything like this with him." "You expectto believe that load of crap?" "You... Just think about it: with Elijah's personality, do you really think I could coach him? Even if I wanted to and told him all those things, would he listen to me? Could I really make it happen?" Tarquin furrowed his brows, sensing struth in Elysia's words.

If Elijah just wanted Elysia to be his godmother, he wouldn't have asked her to marry him. Last night, Elijah was emotionally charged and went to look for Elysia, crying uncontrollably in her arms...
He thought they were talking about Elijah's mother, thinking maybe Elijah felt sorry for his mom, and that was why he sought out Elysia. But now, it didn't seem like that at all! Perhaps from last night, Elijah had already seen Elysia as his mom! That was why he was so desperate and emotional when he found Elysia. Elijah choosing Elysia over his mom suggested one thing: Elysia was his mom! But DNA tests proved Elysia and Elijah had no biological relation! They were not mother and son! Why then would Elijah suddenly say such a thing? There must be a reason! Tarquin couldn't think of another reason. Although he found slogic in Elysia's rebuttal, he still suspected her. After all, whether it's Elijah seeing her as a mother or him marrying her, she stood to gain the most.
"I warned you when you started taking care of Elijah, no funny business! And stop eyeingand Elijah, we both have our loved ones, you..." "Shut up!" Elysia cut him off. "If it really waswho influenced Elijah, say what you want, but I didn't say or do anything. What gives you the right to accuse me? You warned me, well, I warned you, too. Don't think you're a hot commodity, loved by everyone, blooming wherever you go! You're nothing to me; I don't like you one bit! Forget eyeing you; I'd be thankful if you didn't eye me! And letmake this clear, if Elijah wantsas his mom, I'm all for it. You as my husband? Not happening! Go cool off somewhere else!" With that, Elysia stormed off, leaving Tarquin seething.
Elijah had been watching the study's door intently. Seeing Elysia cout upset, he rushed over to ask, "What happened?" "Nothing." "Did Dad upset you?" Elysia couldn't help but retort, "He's nuts!" Elijah clenched his little fists. "I'm going to settle this with him!" Elysia quickly grabbed him. "It's okay, I didn't lose out."

The little guy got instantly nervous, carefully looking at Elysta, kiships moving but no sound coming out.
Elysia smiled warmly. "I'm glad you feel that way. You wantingas your mom shows you like me, and i like you too. Èven though we're not related by blood, we're meant to be a family. If you're okay with it, from now on, we are family." Elijah blinked cautiously a few times. "Can I... can I call you Mommy?" "Of course, you can. If that's what you want." Elijah's eyes instantly teared up, and he dove into Elysia's arms. "Mommy!" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
