Chapter 266

As they trekked up the hill, Tarquin, in a bid to break the silence, initiated a conversation.

"What did you tell her?"

"It's a secret."

Tarquin pursed his lips, deciding not to pry further and switched topics, "Elijah, were you mad at Dad this morning?"

Elliot knew exactly what he was referring to and admitted openly, "You were rude to her, and I didn't like it."

"Elysia? Because I glared at her?"

"Yeah, I won't allow you to glare at her, to give her the cold shoulder! She's nice to me, so of course, I'll be nice to her too. She looks out for me, so I'll protect her. Besides, women are often at a disadvantage, and she's both innocent and kind. She deserves to be treated well."

Tarquin fell silent for a few seconds before asking, "What if she has feelings for Dad?"

"Huh? She has feelings for you?"
