SWNOVELS Chapter 219
Chapter 219
Elysia's scream, laced with the howl of the wind, was particularly plercing, grating on the nerves.
Tarquin stood in the pouring rain, his lips pressed tightly together as he glared at her, infuriated by her reaction!
Lowell quickly stepped in to mediate, "Ms. Thorne, he came rushing over when he heard you were in trouble. He was worried you'd be at a disadvantage."
"We don't need his help! First, it was me in trouble, and now my son is dragged into this. Who is to blame for all these incidents? He'd be helping us by staying far, far away!"
Elysia was yelling!
Tarquin, chest heaving with suppressed rage, was at a loss for words to counter her.
"Stay away from me! Stay away from my sons!"
Elysia, pushing the rain from her face with force, finished speaking with fiery eyes and turned to leave.
As she reached the door, she even told the security guard, "Officer, that man doesn't belong in our neighborhood. Please don't let him in again. He could harm me and my family!"
Lowell was speechless.
Watching the guard's wary gaze, Tarquin stormed back to his car in a huff!
Lowell, feeling helpless, took a call before getting into the car.
In just a couple of minutes, the car was filled with smoke, the scent of cigarette overwhelming.
Tarquin had smoked most of a cigarette in one go, as if channeling his anger through the smoke.
Lowell, taking the driver's seat, turned to him and sheepishly said, "Just found out, the situation with Allegra wasn't Ms. Thorne's fault. She had a fever last night and was at the clinic for IV fluids. Her sons were playing in the park and stumbled upon Allegra. It was her eldest son who called the police, and that's how they found Allegra. Ms. Thorne has an alibi; Allegra can't pin anything on her. However, we still haven't found out who attacked Allegra."
Tarquin, with a dark scowl, remained silent.
The car fell into a brief silence before he suddenly spoke, "I don't want to hear about her anymore!"
"Tarquin..."
"Alive or dead, it's none of my business!"
"But Elijah only eats the meals Ms. Thorne prepares. He refuses anyone else's cooking."
"Then he can go hungry!"
Tarquin suddenly raised his voice, startling Lowell into silence.
The relationship between Tarquin and Elysia, already tumultuous, had now solidified into a frosty impasse after these events.

Upstairs, Blossom saw Elysia return and quickly handed her a clean towel, asking,
Is he gone?"
She wasn't asking about the police, but Tarquin. She had been standing by the door, and the moment it opened, she saw Tarquin.

Elysia nodded, taking the towel to wipe herself off briefly. "He's gone."
Blossom sighed in relief. "That scared me! It was so close..."
"Where are the kids?"
"In their room."
Elysia walked over, knocked, and pushed open the door.
