Chapter 311
Elijah chuckled again, “Then you’ll have to try not to get mixed up with Evan. Evan has this thing for adopting ‘little sisters’ left and right, in and out of school. Anyone younger than him instantly becomes his sister. His dream is to be the big brother to every little girl in the world p>
Elijah couldn’t help but twitch his lips at that.
Elliot said, “You know, despite your different interests, I bet you’d instantly click with Evan. He’s lively and energetic, a real firecracker. Plus, he’s got moves. None of Tarquin’s bodyguards would stand a chance against him p>
Elijah was stunned, “What p>
“No joke. Spend some more time with him, and you’ll see. Not only is he agile, but he also p>
Elliot whispered something into Elijah’s ear, leaving him wide-eyed in shock.
“He’s that impressive p>
“Yep, Evan is mom’s own little bodyguard p>
Elijah swallowed hard, then asked, “What about you and Emmett p>
“Well… I’m mom’s invisible piggy bank. Emmett is mom’s head stylist p>
Elijah was curious, “Piggy bank? Stylist p>
“Yeah, I’ve got a knack for making money. That Alpha Thorne on the Forbes list? That’s me. And Emmett, despite being soft and not the sharpest tool in the shed, just like mom, you shouldn’t underestimate him. He’s got an incredible sense of fashion, always on the cutting edge. Just take a look in his wardrobe when you get a chance. Even the perfumes mom and Blossom use, all crafted by Emmett himself. And his cooking? Out of this world. Mom once said, Emmett is going to be the darling of every girl when he grows up p>
Elijah was both shocked and a bit anxious. Elliot, Evan, and Emmett, each with their unique talents, and there he was, feeling rather ordinary… Would mom think less of him? Was he not worthy of being her son?
Reading Elijah’s mind, Elliot continued, “Mom doesn’t know about our…extra talents. She just knows Emmett can cook, tailor clothes, and make perfumes. She has no clue I can make money or Evan knows martial arts. Mom’s quite timid. The truth would scare her, so we’ve kept it from her. In mom’s eyes, we’re just regular five-year-olds. She loves us for us, not for what we can or can’t do. Even if we were completely clueless, we’d still be her precious sons. It’s the same for you. Whether you’re a genius or just average, or even less, in mom’s eyes, you’re her son, and that’s all that matters. Besides, you’re amazing in your own right. It’s because of you mom isn’t bullied by Tarquin. You’re her shield p>
Elliot’s words brought a sense of relief to Elijah.
Right, he had to be mom’s protector! Not just from dad, but from anyone in the world who dared to bully her! Whoever tried to hurt his mom would be his lifelong enemy! He might not be as versatile as Elliot, Evan, or Emmett, but he had the strength to protect his mom!
Elliot nudged him suddenly, “Here comes Emmett. Let me introduce you two p>
Elijah looked up quickly, spotting Emmett who had just come out of the restroom, and was a bit taken aback. Weren’t they quadruplets? Why did Emmett look different from the rest?
Emmett ran over, sat down, and without recognizing Elijah, said, “Big bro, second bro, you’re back! So, did you meet Elijah p>
Elijah was silent; Emmett seemed a bit… slow.
Elliot smiled, “This is Elijah p>
Emmett blinked, staring at Elijah for a long moment before exclaiming, “So you’re Elijah? You look just like big bro and second bro p>
