Chapter 324
Tarquin stared at Elliot for a few more seconds before asking, “Would you guys be okay with Elijah becoming your mom’s adopted son p>
Elliot shot back, “Why wouldn’t we be? It would make Elijah happy, it would make Mom happy, and it would make us happy too! If it’s something that brings joy to everyone involved, why would we have any objections p>
Elliot rolled his eyes. “Getting another brother is something we’d celebrate, not worry about! You sure have a narrow mind p>
Tarquin was speechless.
Alright, alright, call him childish, call him sick, now call him narrow-minded! No wonder he’s one of Elysia’s. Must’ve been raised on bravery and boldness, huh?
“You’re not keen on Elijah being my mom’s adopted son, are you? Give me one good reason.” Elliot narrowed his eyes.
Tarquin replied, clearly annoyed, “Because I don’t want to end up with Elysia p>
“Oh p>
“Elijah said if he becomes Elysia’s son, that means I’d have to be her husband. I’ve only got eyes for Elijah’s mother. I don’t like Elysia, so there’s no way I could be her husband. That’s why I have to refuse Elijah’s request p>
“Hah!” Elliot couldn’t help but scoff. “Don’t worry, my mom isn’t into you either. She definitely wouldn’t want you as her husband p>
Tarquin frowned, about to say something when Elliot cut in sharply, “You’re not smart enough for my mom. Not only does she think you’re not a match, but I do too p>
Tarquin scowled, “You’re saying I’m not smart p>
“Yeah, not smart enough p>
“Who told you I’m not smart p>
“Do we even need someone to say it? Your actions have already shown your level of intelligence! Tonight, not only did you offend my mom, but you also angered Elijah. Now both of them are upset with you! But you could’ve achieved your objective without upsetting anyone. Why on earth did you make them both angry? It just goes to show you’re not smart enough p>
Tarquin was skeptical, And you know what my objective is p>
“Just not to lose Elijah p>
Seeing Elliot got it right, Tarquin immediately asked, “So, what should I do to achieve my objective without upsetting them p>
Elliot suddenly turned icy, “I don’t feel like saying p>
Tarquin narrowed his eyes, You don’t want to say, or you can’t p>
“Of course, I can! And it’s a good solution too. I can help you handle this without losing Elijah or offending him p>
“Then why not spill it p>
“Why should I help you? You made my mom cry tonight. I don’t feel like helping you p>
Tarquin was silent for a moment, If you really have a good solution, I can apologize to your mom and allow her to keep seeing Elijah p>
Elliot smirked slightly; that’s exactly what he was waiting for! Mom’s tears tonight couldn’t be in vain. He had to apologize, and he had to do it willingly.
