Chapter 807
The next morning, as Elysia stirred awake, the kids were still deep in their dreams, while Tarquin, adorned with an apron, was bustling in the kitchen making breakfast.
Elliot and Elijah had only managed to fall asleep in the wee hours and were yet to wake up.
Having been plagued by insomnia all night, Tarquin had found solace in the kitchen as dawn broke, preparing a loving meal for his wife and children. This gesture deeply moved Elysia, who snuck up behind him in the kitchen, wrapping her arms around him.
“Why are you up so early p>
Tarquin chuckled, “I wanted my wife to wake up to a breakfast made with love by her husband p>
They had decided to keep their daughter’s situation from Elysia, not wanting her to sense anything amiss.
After explaining, Tarquin turned around to wrap his arms around Elysia, planting a kiss before asking, “And you? Why are you up with the birds p>
“I went to bed early last night. What’s on your agenda today p>
“Do you have plans p>
Elysia replied, “I was thinking of visiting Blossom. If you’re not busy, you could stay at the hospital with the kids. If you are, we could have a nurse come over p>
“Blossom Blythe? What happened p>
“She got frightened by you p>
“Really p>
Elysia laughed, “She didn’t know who you were before, nor that you’re my husband. Now that she does, she’s terrified. She thinks you’re going to tear her apart for scolding you. She’s even scared to come to the hospital. I need to have a chat with her p>
Tarquin was at a loss for words, “Doesn’t she realize she should be thrilled? Knowing my identity should be a boost for her. Her best friend snagged me. That elevates her status. She could practically strut through Jindale City now p>
Elysia playfully hit him, “Blossom’s not a crab, why would she strut? Listen here, I have only two best friends in this lifetime – Blossom and Winona. They’re not just friends; they’re like sisters to me. They’ve supported me through thick and thin. If you truly love me, you can’t act all high and mighty around them p>
With his wife laying down the law, Tarquin quickly agreed, “I wouldn’t dare. They have my wife as their backbone. I can’t afford to mess with them.” Elysia beamed, planting a kiss on his cheek, “Then I’m off to freshen up before I see her p>
Tarquin pulled her close, not letting go, “Don’t go to her place. Why don’t you girls hit the mall instead? Use my card. It’s stuffy staying at home.” He was wary of Elysia visiting Blossom’s home since Keith lived right across from her.
“Alright! Then I’ll make it my mission to max out your card p>
“It would be my honor. Spend away p>
Elysia was delighted, rewarding him with another kiss.
Tarquin returned her kiss passionately, then remembered, “Oh, mention to Blossom about the kids changing schools and her job offer. If she’s interested, she can move to the new school with the kids. I’ll arrange it p>
It was only polite to inform Blossom, who had arranged their current school. As a token of appreciation, he could also transfer her job.
The top private kindergarten in Jindale City, with the best salary and conditions for teachers, would be a dream come true for her. Moreover, with Blossom looking after them at the kindergarten, Tarquin would have peace of mind.
Elysia nodded, “I’ll let her know p>
This was a plan they had devised while on their island getaway, intending to transfer the kids upon their return.
Though Elysia and Tarquin’s relationship hadn’t been made public, the elite circles were aware.
For safety, Tarquin wanted to move them to a private kindergarten.
And once Elliot was discharged, they would no longer reside in Future Community but move in with Tarquin.
After breakfast, lovingly served by Tarquin, Elysia was ready to leave.
She refused his offer to accompany her, “Stay with the kids. They’ll feel lost waking up to find neither of us here p>
“Alright, I’ll arrange for the driver,” Tarquin conceded, also secretly ensuring several undercover bodyguards followed for her safety.
