Chapter 727
Elijah, despite his quiet demeanor and ongoing struggle with mental health issues, was sharp and intelligent. He was more than capable of keeping the household running smoothly. So, when he noticed Elijah's eyes brimming with tears, he chose not to offer mere consolation. Instead, he reassured him, "I'm fine now, don't worry. Have they found the culprit?"
Elijah's brows furrowed in concern. "It seems like someone had a vendetta against Dad. They wanted to drive a wedge between Mom and Dad by targeting me, to upset Mom."
Elliot frowned at this, prompting Elysia to quickly interject, "Elliot, it's true that the person holds a grudge, but he didn't want you hurt. He cares about you, he really does..."
Elysia was torn. Despite her internal conflict about whether to continue her relationship, her instinct was to defend him. She didn't want Elliot to be angry with him or to let this incident create a rift between them.
Elliot understood her intentions and immediately said, "I don't blame him for this, and Mom shouldn't either. You should just go ahead and be happy with him."
As for the perpetrator...
A fierce determination glinted in Elliot's eyes. Whoever dared to harm him would have to pay. And anyone who caused his beloved Mom to worry and shed tears would pay twice over.
Elysia, unaware of Elliot's thoughts, was taken aback. "You know about me and him...?"
Elliot softened his gaze and smiled. "I know you're dating him."
Elysia gasped in surprise.
Evan Emmett chimed in, "I knew it too!"
Elijah's gaze conveyed that he was also in on the secret.
Elysia's heart raced, feeling uneasy. "How did you all find out? Did he tell you?"
Elliot shook his head with a smile. "No, we figured it out on our own."
Elysia was astonished. Were her and Tarquin's actions so obvious that even a five-year-old could tell they were in love?
Elliot reassured her, "As long as Mom's happy, we have no objections to your relationship. Don't let my injury affect you." "But..." Elysia hesitated.
Elijah quickly asked, "Mom, are you worried about the person who sent you those messages?"
Elysia was surprised again. Elijah mentioned, "I heard Dad talking about someone threatening Mom."
Frowning, Elysia pulled out her phone to show them the messages.
Elliot's eyes darkened with anger as he read. It was a blatant threat and warning!
He tried to calm his rage before advising Elysia, "Mom, I don't think you should give in. If you do, this person will just find other ways to threaten you, and you'll never be free. You should be brave and stay with Dad. I believe he has the strength to protect us!
Elijah is the best proof. He might have been hurt by the Bradfords, but no other enemies have gotten to him. That shows Dad's capable.
The reason I got hurt wasn't Dad's fault. He didn't know about our father-son relationship. I feared it would expose us, so I specifically told him not to arrange protection for us. That's why the bad guys could get to me so easily."
Elliot's logic was clear and to the point.
He knew Elysia had feelings for Tarquin, which is why he encouraged her.
He didn't want her to end things with Tarquin and live in sorrow.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
With a worried expression, Elysia pondered deeply.
Elliot took her hand, his eyes filled with unwavering support. "Mom, I'm behind you and Dad being together. Don't let outside forces sway you. You need to be brave!"
