Chapter 261

Elysia was a mess of nerves, her words slicing through the air like a knife as she interrupted.

With a fierce protective instinct, she positioned Elliot behind her, eyes blazing with a clear message for Tarquin: 'Dare to mess with my kid, and you're messing with me!'

Tarquin furrowed his brows, his gaze a mix of annoyance and confusion as he looked at her.

Elliot didn't like the way Tarquin was glaring at his mom. He tugged quietly at Elysia's shirt, signaling her to keep her cool for a moment.
