Chapter 123


    Blossom caught sight of her and immediately called out, “Aren’t you home early? What took you so


    long?”


    Elysia heaved a sigh, but chose not to exin just yet. Instead, she asked, “How are the kids?”


    “Sound asleep.”


    “Again?”


    “Yeah, I took them down to the yground before you got home. They yed on the and were crashed


    aftering back. How was your meeting with the Denton family?”


    “It went well. The Dentons were really appreciative.”


    as for a


    “Of course they are grateful to you. Corbin is the only heir to the Denton legacy. They were beside


    themselves with worry when he fell ill, what with all the rumors flying around. Now that he’s getting


    better, the Dentons must be over the moon. Heard you went out for dinner with them, and it event


    made the trending news.”


    “What?”


    Blossom chuckled, “Don’t worry. I know you like to keep a low profile. They pixted your face in the


    photos.”


    Elysia breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good to hear.”


    “You look beat. Go freshen up, we’re bunking together tonight.”


    “Alright.”


    After checking on the little ones and freshening up. Elysiay down and asked, “Blossom, you’re


    working tomorrow, right?”


    “Yeah. Why? I can take a day off if you need something. Our boss is pretty easy–going.”


    “I do have something tomorrow. Could you possibly take the triplets to daycare for a bit of a trial


    run?”


    “Sure thing, no problem at all. What’s on your te?”


    Elysia felt the weight of her worries. She recounted the incident that had urred at the entrance of


    their apartmentplex.


    Blossom’s eyes went wide as saucers, “He’s threatening you to work for him in secret? What’s his


    angle? He’s not got the hots for you, has he?”


    “Hardly! Didn’t you see how he treated me? He was downright nasty!”


    “So… he really wants you to nanny his son?”


    “It looks like it. His son has bipr disorder too, and I guess seeing me help Corbin stirred something in


    him. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind helping Elijah, I just don’t want to deal with his father. If he turns out to


    be Elliot and Evan’s biological dad, the more I interact with him, the more likely I’ll blow their cover.”

    Blossom nodded in understanding. “So what’s the n now?”


    “I don’t know…”


    “The best thing would be to pay back that 50 million! Let me talk to Zane about it, I’ll ask my folks for a


    part of it, and maybe borrow some from Zane. We need to scrape together that 50 million to get him off


    your back!”


    Elysia immediately shook her head. 50 million was a huge amount!


    She knew Blossom’s parents and Zane were well off, but that kind of money was astronomical to


    anyone. She didn’t want her arrival to disrupt their peace.


    “Let me first go see Elijah tomorrow. By the way, did you know Zane has a cousin?”


    “The one who’s into dance?”


    “Yeah?”


    “I heard about her from Winona, but I haven’t met her. What about her?”


    Elysia felt it was wrong to gossip, but she trusted Blossom, so she shared, “I saw Zane at the hospital


    today when I went to visit Corbin. He was there supporting his cousin through an abortion.”


    “What?!” Blossom was shocked, “Isn’t she still in college? How did she end up pregnant and then


    having an abortion?”


    “Zane said she got pregnant unexpectedly after dating a guy at school. She took a leave of absence,


    but then they broke up, and there wereplications with the pregnancy. The doctors said the baby


    couldn’t be saved and rmended termination.”


    Blossom was taken aback, “Winona mentioned she was quite a gentle soul. I never imagined she’d be


    caught up in something like this. Getting pregnant, dropping out, cohabitating before marriage,


    abortion… Those are all pretty heavy for someone her age.”
