Chapter 910
Elysia asked Tarquin, “How did you know I wanted to pursue a career in child psychology p>
“It was just a guess p>
Elysia narrowed her eyes, “Did the kids tell you about our time in the wilderness p>
Tarquin’s eyes sparkled with curiosity every time the wilderness was mentioned.
Although Elliot, Evan, and Emmett were naturally gifted, without a mentor, it was unlikely they’d be so skilled at such a young age!
And then there was Elysia, not the sharpest tool in the shed, and even a bit… clueless!
Yet, her knowledge of holistic medicine surpassed that of Benjamin Lawson, a specialist. The only logical explanation was that her teacher was no ordinary individual!
Great teachers produce great students!
Moreover, the situation Elysia and the kids were in back then, if not for encountering a big shot, they wouldn’t have survived!
And Evan’s pet, White, clearly wasn’t a breed you’d find in a regular pet store, both formidable and sentient, a rare find indeed! But each time the wilderness was brought up, Elysia and the kids would deliberately steer the conversation elsewhere. Leaving him still in the dark about what kind of place they referred to as the deep woods and what kind of people lived there?
Silent, Elysia began to panic, “Did the kids really tell you p>
Tarquin didn’t want to scare her, “No p>
Elysia sighed in relief, “Good p>
Tarquin felt slightly wronged, “Am I not worthy to know p>
Elysia shook her head,
“When we left the wilderness, I promised them I wouldn’t just talk about our experiences and those we met there. Keeping one’s word is important, right p>
Tarquin sighed softly to himself and pinched her cheek,
“Right, if you can’t talk about it, then don’t. It’s okay, hubby’s not mad p>
Touched, Elysia quickly glanced around, seeing no one was watching, she tiptoed and gave him a quick kiss.
Then she whispered something in his ear, a voice so soft only they could hear.
Tarquin’s eyes narrowed, immediately pulling her close, pressing her against him,
“Seriously p>
Elysia’s face was flushed, avoiding his gaze, “Mhm p>
A fire lit in Tarquin’s eyes!
His curiosity about the wilderness faded as he sealed Elysia’s lips with a kiss.
Elysia tried to escape, embarrassed, but he was relentless, giving her a deep kiss right there on the street.
It wasn’t until Elysia pinched his waist hard that he finally let her go.
Releasing her lips but not her body, he held her close, his chin resting in her shoulder nook, panting,
“Elysia, how about we head home now p>
Elysia was startled and pinched him again,
“We promised the kids a Children’s Day celebration, quit it p>
Tarquin murmured, “I’m only thinking about our world right now p>
Elysia knew what he was implying, her face turning even redder.
Noticing people on the street glancing over, she quickly pushed Tarquin away, straightening her clothes, “We’ll talk tonight p>
Seeing her bashful look, Tarquin couldn’t help but tease her,
“Talk about what tonight p>
Elysia glared at him, kicking him playfully before pointing at a storefront to change the subject,
“How did you really know I wanted to start a studio p>
Tarquin laughed, “I honestly guessed. You’re always buried in child psychology books whenever you have a moment. It wasn’t hard to guess, not everyone is as oblivious as you p>
He said while affectionately pinching Elysia’s cheek, “Silly p>
Elysia: p>
Tarquin wrapped his arm around her shoulder, gazing at the storefront together, “Happy p>
“Yeah p>
Very happy, incredibly so.
He didn’t expect her to just stay at home, instead supporting her pursuit of a career and dreams. She was happy and moved.
