Chapter 628
Keith’s words were downright disrespectful to Elysia!
How can you truly like someone and not show them respect?
So, Tarquin also doubted Keith’s feelings for Elysia.
But p>
If Keith didn’t like her at all, why would he go out of his way to buy the house right across from Blossom’s? And why create drama today of all days?
His interest in Elysia surely wasn’t because he liked her or wanted to pursue her. There had to be another reason!
What could that reason be?
Was he here for Elysia or for some other ulterior motive?
Elysia was clueless about what Tarquin was pondering. She went on to say,
“Regardless, I don’t think Keith likes me. I’m not planning on moving or changing the kids’ school, but I’ll keep your words in mind and remind the kids to keep their distance from Keith as much as possible p>
Hearing this, Tarquin snapped out of his thoughts, his brows furrowing tightly.
He could have forced her to move or change schools, but the thought of how she’d react held him back.
He didn’t want to upset her.
So, he compromised,
“If you really don’t want to move, I won’t force you. But you have to promise to stay away from him. Otherwise, I’ll worry about your and Elijah’s safety so much that I might just force you to move p>
For her, Keith was just a stranger she had met once. Keeping or not keeping in touch didn’t matter much.
Their conversation went smoothly, the only thing bothering Elysia was that she still couldn’t figure out what Tarquin felt for her.
They continued walking down the track, oblivious to the eyes watching them from above.
By now, Blossom and Keith had both returned.
Keith stood by the window, watching the two walk side by side. Although he couldn’t make out their expressions, he knew it was Elysia and Tarquin. His eyes narrowed, his expression unreadable, leaving one to wonder what was on his mind.
Blossom, having made his bed, came to tell him to get some rest.
Keith finally turned around, saying kindly, “Thanks, Ms. Blythe p>
Blossom replied heartily,
“Ah, don’t be so formal. I heard about the mix-up from Elysia. Mr. Bradford must know it’s all a misunderstanding by now. Get some rest, and we’ll clear things up when we all have a chance to talk p>
“Alright p>
“I’ll head home now. You’re not in any condition to cook, so either we’ll bring you some food later, or you can join us at my place.” “Sounds good p>
Just as Blossom left Keith’s place, Elysia and Tarquin returned.
Seeing Blossom, Elysia quickly asked, “How’s Keith p>
Not mingling was one thing, but today’s fight had to be addressed, especially since Keith was seriously injured.
Blossom replied, “He’s quite banged up, but it’s nothing that won’t heal with some rest, according to the doctor.” I’ll go check on him p>
Tarquin, visibly displeased but knowing he couldn’t stop Elysia, said, “I’ll come with you p>
Elysia immediately stopped him,
“You should check on the kids. I’ll be fine on my own, I’ll be back soon p>
She practically pushed him back home.
She didn’t dare let him see Keith, not with the mood he was in. They might end up fighting again, and keeping him away from Keith was the safest bet!
Her visit to Keith was merely out of politeness and a sense of responsibility.
Blossom accompanied her, whispering conspiratorially as if she had just uncovered a great secret,
“Elysia, I’m telling you, he’s definitely into you p>
Elysia was taken aback, “Who p>
Was she talking about someone in particular, or Keith?
