Chapter 328
Tarquin frowned, “What’s wrong p>
“Ms. Thorne fainted p>
Tarquin’s face darkened, “What happened p>
“I don’t know, she just suddenly collapsed. She seemed pretty agitated before it happened, but I haven’t figured out the details yet p>
Before leaving, Tarquin stopped by Elijah’s door and instructed,
“Elijah, Daddy has to go out for a bit. You play with Elysia’s sons for now. If you get tired, you all can go to bed together.” Got it p>
The kids had no idea about Elysia’s fainting episode. They assumed Tarquin was going out to apologize to her, so they didn’t think much of it or worry.
They believed that since Tarquin had promised so confidently, he would surely make up with their beloved mom.
That’s what Tarquin thought too.
However p>
What they never expected was for Elysia to slap Tarquin hard across the face as soon as she woke up in the hospital, not giving him any chance to apologize!
Tarquin was stunned on the spot!
Lowell and Benjamin were so shocked that their eyes nearly popped out of their heads!
There’s a saying, “Don’t hit the face,” because hitting the face is different from hitting any other body part.
An ordinary person’s face is off-limits, let alone Tarquin’s. It’s absolutely forbidden!
Lowell had been with Tarquin for over twenty years and, aside from Elysia, had never seen anyone else dare to touch Tarquin’s face!
The same went for Benjamin. He couldn’t even imagine someone hitting Tarquin’s face, let alone witness it!
Both were trembling, fearing collateral damage, and didn’t dare to breathe a word, quickly leaving the room, leaving behind a slapped Tarquin and a slapping Elysia.
The atmosphere in the room was eerie p>
Before Tarquin could unleash his fury, Elysia burst into tears, sobbing as if her heart was broken, utterly aggrieved!
Tarquin clenched his lips tight, glaring at her, fuming!
This was the third time Elysia had hit him in the face!
And it hurt more each time!
To her, his face was apparently worth nothing, there to be hit whenever she felt like it!
He thought Elysia’s anger stemmed from him not letting her see Elijah, so he held back his rage, not letting it erupt.
“I’m warning you, this is the last time. If you dare again p>
Before Tarquin could finish, Elysia lunged at him!
She grabbed his shirt and started to pull it apart fiercely, attempting to rip all the buttons off!
She wasn’t hitting him but was rudely, openly trying to strip him!
By her actions, it seemed she wanted to strip him bare!
Tarquin was shocked, quickly grasping her wrists and demanding coldly,
“What are you doing p>
“Stripping p>
Tarquin was stunned. Stripping?
“What… what do you mean p>
“Strip! Take it all off p>
Tarquin was even more shocked. Take it all off?
His mind was suddenly filled with bewildering thoughts, his Adam’s apple bobbing, “Elysia! What are you trying to do?!” “Take off your clothes p>
“For what p>
Elysia, beyond explaining, stamped her foot in frustration and yelled, “Just do it p>
Tarquin’s Adam’s apple bobbed again, “Explain first. Why take off the clothes p>
Elysia didn’t bother answering, instead, she bit down on his arm!
Biting hard!
Tarquin hissed in pain, shaking her off, “Have you lost your mind p>
Elysia, seemingly insane, freed herself and lunged again to strip Tarquin of his clothes.
Tarquin was completely baffled, intending to restrain her, but suddenly his mind went blank! Before he could react, his body was falling towards Elysia.
