Chapter 631

Back at the house, Elysia couldn't help but ask, "Why are you hiring so many caregivers? How much is this going to cost? Blossom and I can take care of him; there's no need to throw money away."

"All those caregivers put together still aren't worth as much as you."

"I... I'm free, you don't have to pay for me!"

Realizing she took it the wrong way, Tarquin pursed his lips in disdain. "I'd rather pay than have you take care of him!"

"...Isn't that just wasting money?!"

Tarquin looked down at her. "Or how about you take care of me, and I'll pay you."

Elysia was speechless. "What do I need to take care of you for when you're perfectly fine?"

"I can break an arm or a leg right now, make myself completely helpless."

Elysia: "..." She was utterly speechless!
