Novel1Chapter 620 Elysia glared at him, her patience wearing thin. "What on earth is your problem?" she demanded, her voice rising in frustration.
Wasn't she just asking a simple question? How did that make it her fault? Even if he was mad at Keith, why take it out on her? Why did he have such a big issue with her anyway? Tarquin's chest heaved with anger. What was he so mad about? Mad at the comment Keith made.
Mad that she seemed to care about Keith.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMad that he couldn't express his feelings for her without blowing his cover, leaving him to swallow his pride in silence.
And mad that she didn't just blindly take his side but kept asking questions to figure out who was in the right between him and Keith.
Keith was right about one thing: she didn't like him. If she did, she would've sided with him no questions asked! He knew she didn't have feelings for him, and yet, here he was, fuming over it, about to explode with rage! In a fit of anger, he blurted out, "You need to cut Keith off completely. If I catch you talking to him again, I'm taking Elijah withtoday!" That comment hit Elysia like a ton of bricks, and she lost it.
"Are you out of your mind?!" she exploded. "Your beef with Keith has nothing to do with me! I was just trying to show sconcern for you, and you lash out at me?! What did I ever do to you?! And now you want to take Elijah away from me? We had an agreement that you'd only take him after you've caught the culprit and he's fully recovered, but now you... you're going back on your word! You're being unreasonable!" Tears welled up in Elysia's eyes as she spoke, and without another word, she turned and stormed home. Tarquin's heart softened instantly. He hurried after her, calling out, "Elysia." "Don't talk to me!" Elysia snapped, shrugging off his hand and pushing through the front door.
The four little ones stood at the doorway, staring at her in unison.
Elysia paused, her lips moving but no sound coming out. She knew she would break down if she spoke.
Tarquin followed her inside, and Elysia shot him a tearful glare before retreating to her room, slamming the door shut and locking it from the inside.
Tarquin moved to follow her, but Elliot, Evan, and Emmett blocked his way, their tone icy, "Stay away from our mom!" Tarquin frowned, the kids' attitude towards him adding to his distress. "I didn't mean to upset her." Elliot accused, "You made her cry!" Evan stated, "I don't care who's right or wrong, or the reason. You made our mom cry, that's on you!" Emmett added tearfully, "You... you were mean to our mom. She was just trying to be nice to you, and you yelled at her."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElijah, with a scowl, chimed in, "You shouldn't have threatened to takeaway! And mont was really just worried about you!" That had been the last straw for their mom. Regret washed over Tarquin. He had just wanted to push Elysia away from Keith.
There was something off about Keith!
But he couldn't explain himself, and in a moment of overwhelming m jealousy and anger, he had spoken out of turn. "I'm sorry, I just said that in the heat of the moment. I didn't really plan on taking Elijah away."
Elliot, Evan, and Emmett glared silently while Elijah advised, "Letm mom them cool downe You should go cool off too. We're here for her, so don't worry." Tarquin glanced at the kids, then back towards Elysia's room, "Try to make her feel better." With that, he left, pulling at his tie in frustration the moment he was out of sight. Keith, huh? Alright, then. War it is.
