NovelOnlineChapter 323 Tarquin's focus shifted to Elliot. He observed Elliot, thoughts drifting to the mature and composed Elijah he remembered from the family gathering. Yet, facing Elliot now... Tarquin dismissed his doubts and asked, "Did I make your mom cry?" "Yeah, you called her tonight and told her she couldn't see Elijah anymore. She was really upset." "...She told you guys?" "We had just gotten hwhen you called. Mom was crying a lot." Tarquin frowned, "You all know about Elijah?" "Mhm." "Does she often talk about Elijah with you?" "Almost every day, she mentions something about Elijah. My mom loves having heart-to-hearts with us. We're not just mother and sons; we're also best friends." Tarquin frowned deeper, feeling a twinge of jealousy. Being a parent himself, Elysia could connect with her children on such a level, yet he couldn't! He too wished to have heart-to-hearts with Elijah, to be both a father and a friend, but he never had the chance! Elijah didn't like talking to him, and he couldn't find a way into Elijah's heart.
"How does she talk about Elijah?" "Mom says Elijah is very well-behaved and understanding, just a bit quiet and not too expressive. She also mentioned how much she loves Elijah and that the feeling is mutual." "So, she wants Elijah to be her son?" At that, Elliot immediately retorted, "Are you suggesting my mom wants to take your son away from you?" Tarquin's brow furrowed deeper, his gaze darkening at Elliot. Clearly, Elliot had hit a nerve. Elliot smirked slightly, his expression mocking, "So, this is why you won't let my mom see Elijah? How childish!" Tarquin's expression darkened further, embarrassed to be called childish by a five-year-old! Emmett was nearly scared to tears by his look, but Elliot stood his ground, coldly saying, "By not letting my mom see Elijah, you've upset two people at once! From my mom's perspective, because she and your son like each other, you assshe wants to take him away, which is a huge misunderstanding! You've completely forgotten who it was that introduced my mom to Elijah in the first place! And why! Would you be happy if my mom didn't like Elijah, or if Elijah didn't like my mom? By keeping her from seeing Elijah, she's both hurt and angry, probably cursing you in her mind! From Elijah's perspective, he finally found someone he likes, but you cruelly keep them apart. He must be angry, very angry! Elijah was raised by you; he loves you as a father, so he wouldn't curse you, but he might say something hurtful, like he doesn't want you anymore and wants to go with my mom..." Tarquin watched Elliot with a complex expression for a while before asking, "How do you know Elijah has said these things to me?" Elliot answered openly, "Elijah toldhimself." Tarquin was suspicious, "You've been in contact?"
"Yeah, my mom hopes Elijah can get better, make more friends, so she m gaveElijah's contact. We've been in touch privately, we're good friends." "And do you know Elijah sees your mom as a mother?" "Of course! We understand." "Understand?"
"Yeah, our mom is the best mom in the world. She's kind, gentle, and sincere Anyone who's met her likes her." Elliot paused, giving Tarquin a meaningful look,
"If anyone doesn't like her, they must have a serious problem a very m serious problem!" Tarquin was left speechless. Was this kid implying something about him? mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
