Chapter 941
Tarquin’s Adam’s apple bobbed,
“I’m not quite sure either. He’ll be back once he’s done with everything. Just be a good girl and wait, okay, Baby p>
“Mhm p>
Heath came in with a kitten, saying he’d got it from Keith’s place.
Tarquin knew it wasn’t the one he had gotten for Baby; this one was a gift from Keith.
He didn’t expose the truth, instead, he put Baby down to play with the kitten.
With Keith gone, let his gift, this little kitten, keep Baby company.
From now on, this kitten was part of the family too.
The three kids were playing with the kitten in the living room while Tarquin headed to the kitchen.
Elysia was standing at the kitchen doorway, her eyes red with emotion.
There was a touch of being moved, but also a hint of helplessness.
Baby had finally started calling Tarquin “Daddy,” which was touching.
But every time Baby mentioned Keith, Elysia felt helpless.
Keith’s passing was a wound that wouldn’t easily heal.
Tarquin approached, gently stroking her hair, trying to start a conversation,
“Baby seems to be doing well p>
“Yeah, she’s easy to comfort. A few words and she’s all smiles p>
Tarquin chuckled, “That’s all you, clumsy and silly, easy to cheer up.
Elysia: Is everything taken care of p>
“Not yet, came back to check on you guys first p>
He had gone to see Gideon earlier, partly to seek answers, partly to vent!
After leaving the hospital, he had intended to go to the cabin but thinking of Elysia and Baby made him return home first.
Seeing Baby and Elysia’s current state eased his mind a bit.
“Why are you cooking? Where’s the chef p>
Elysia said, “I was idle, and I wanted to cook something for the kids myself. Are you going back out? Dinner will be ready soon p>
“Not sure if I need to head out again, but I’ll stay for dinner p>
“Okay, then I’ll make a bit more p>
Tarquin smiled indulgently, “Sounds good p>
Elysia went back to the kitchen to continue her work, and Tarquin, looking at her back and then at Baby playing in the living room, felt a warmth in his heart.
As long as his family was safe, everything was okay.
If they could catch the mysterious person today, it would be perfect.
Tarquin turned to go upstairs to find Elliot and Elijah.
The two brothers were in the small study, furiously typing away on their keyboards.
Elijah was tracking the mysterious person’s plane remotely, and Elliot was up to something else.
Every time Tarquin saw the two kids at their computers, he couldn’t help but wonder:
Which of them got this talent from?
It’s true that good students often come from good teachers, but if the student is too dull, they can’t learn.
So, Elliot and Elijah definitely had a knack for this, but he and Elysia were not particularly skilled in this area.
Who did they get it from?
“Daddy,” Elliot greeted him.
Tarquin nodded, seeing Elijah was still tracking the mysterious person, he didn’t disturb him.
He went to Elliot and asked, “Busy p>
“Not too much, what’s up p>
Elliot was in the middle of setting a trap for Gideon!
He wouldn’t rest until he’d gotten back at that old villain!
Tarquin said, “If you’ve got a moment, look into Grandpa’s social connections p>
They had investigated Elizabeth before but hadn’t seriously looked into Kendrick.
After learning about the circumstances under which the Keith siblings had been rescued years ago, he had a hunch that the mysterious person might be connected to Kendrick.
Elliot was surprised, “The mysterious person has something to do with Grandpa p>
“Not sure yet, just check p>
“Alright p>
As soon as Elliot finished speaking, Elijah suddenly looked up, his face dark, “There’s trouble p>
The next second, Tarquin’s phone rang with news, both good and bad, coming through.
