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?"

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

"Huh? She has feelings for you?"
