Chapter 314 Tarquin could barely contain his fury as he forced out the words through gritted teeth, "Elysia, you're really asking for it!" Elysia's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst out of her chest. Earlier that day at the amusement park, Tarquin had abruptly called to say he was taking Elijah hearly and told her to catch a cab. He even said she didn't need to bother cooking dinner for Elijah that evening. Something felt off to her right away.

She had asked why, and he'd snapped at her for prying. Later on, she figured he was Elijah's dad after all and wouldn't harm him, so she dismissed her worries and left the park for the supermarket.

She planned to pick up streats and cook a lavish dinner for Blossom Blythe and the kids as an apology for neglecting them while she took care of Elijah.

Little did she know, upon arriving home, Tarquin would call, interrogating her! How did he even find out she had taken his Elliot Evan? And what right did he have to claim ElliotEvan as his own? She was still just suspecting! Even if he had proof, could her actions really be considered stealing? She was the one who had carried the child for nine months and raised him through sleepless nights and hardships. She was their biological mother, and it was only natural for the children to grow up by her side! How dare he accuse her of stealing?! The real thief, if anyone, was him! As Elysia's frustration mounted, her anger bubbled over.

"How dare you call him your son? What right do you have? Where were you when he was born, when he was learning to speak, when he was sick in the middle of the night? Do you even know what toys he likes? What food he loves? When his birthday is? Have you ever even bought him a pair of socks or shoes? Regardless of whether you knew about him or not, you've never been there for him, never fulfilled a father's duties or responsibilities! So, you have no right to call him your son! You're not even fit to be a father to them! And you certainly have no right to accuseof stealing your son! If anyone is stealing, it's you!" Tarquin, too caught up in his own rage, didn't catch all of what she said.

Out of her entire tirade, all he heard was that he had failed in his duties as a father, that he wasn't fit to be a dad.

The veins on his temples throbbed with rage.

For years, he had poured his heart and soul into caring for Elijah, admitting to himself that if Elijah wasn't as well as other kids, it was his fault as a father.

But to say he wasn't fit to be a father? That was something he couldn't accept.

"Stay away from Elijah, and stay away from me. If you don't disappear from my son's life, I'll make you disappear from this pl! Lettell you, I'm much tougher than Allegra Bradford. I don't resort to hit-and-runs; I prefer making people wish they were dead!" After his tirade, Tarquin hung up, intent on severing all ties with her.

Hearing the disconnect tone, Elysia was struck with horror.

He was talking about Elijah, not ElliotEvan! But he... he said she would never see Elijah again! Could she really never see Elijah again? With a crash, her phone hit the floor, its screen shattered just like her heart at that moment.

The thought of never seeing Elijah again sucked the life out of her, leaving her trembling and heartbroken.

Just then, Blossom chwith the kids.

Seeing Elysia in the kitchen, they were all taken aback. "Elysia, what's wrong?" "Mommy..." Not wanting to dampen their spirits, Elysia quickly composed herself, "Mommy's fine." After saying that, she hurried back to her room.

The kids grew more worried, sensing something was definitely wrong.

"Don't worry, I'll check on her," Blossom said before rushing to Elysia.

The kids crowded by the door, their little brows furrowed in concern.

From inside the room, they heard Elysia's sobbing voice, oice barely making out that she might never see Elijah again. Elliot and Emmett turned to Elijah with questions in their eyes.

Elijah, just as puzzled, said, "I don't know what's wrong with Mommy." Elliot, brow furrowed, messaged Evan: Tarquin made Mommy cry. Find out what happened! Evan, who had just returned to Elijah's room, saw the message and his eyes widened in shock.

He immediately called Elliot, "Mommy's crying? What happened? Why is she crying? Is she very sad? Is she okay now?"

"Not yet. It seems to be about Tarquin. We'll try to cheer Mommy up. You figure out what's going on." "Okay!" Evan hung up, his teeth clenched in a mix of worry and anger.

Tarquin had the audacity to upset their precious Mommy, even making her cry! He was in for it now.

Just then, Tarquin walked in.

Evan shot him a glare cold enough to freeze Hell over.
