At the same time, he understood why Elliot had messaged him to buy time. It turned out to be so Emmett could do their makeup and fool their dad. Elijah nodded and said to Tarquin, "Dad, why don''t you head home first? I''lle backter with Mom."


    "I''ll make sure Elijah is safe. You can go," said Elysia, quickly taking the four kids and heading home.


    Tarquin watched them leave, his stylish brows furrowing slightly.


    Lowell whispered, "Those three sons of Ms. Thorne seem pretty normal, don''t they? Why did Ms. ter insist you meet them? And what is Ms. Thorne so afraid of? Why was she so scared to go upstairs?"


    Tarquin didn''t know what struck him, but his frown deepened...


    Upstairs.


    As soon as Elysia got home, she hurriedly locked the door from the inside, as if she was scared Tarquin would suddenly barge in.


    Elliot tried tofort her, "Mom, don''t worry. If we don''t want him to see us, he won''t get the chance."


    Elysia sighed in relief, "Thank goodness you guys are smart, and thank goodness Emmett''s makeup skills are top-notch!"


    After saying this, she even went up to Emmett and gave him a big kiss, then asked, "Is Blossom doing okay?"


    "Yeah, she''s sleeping in her room."


    Elysia opened the bedroom door to peek at Blossom, who was indeed asleep on the bed.


    Elliot said, "Mom, let''s not disturb Blossom''s sleep. Let her rest."


    Elysia didn''t think much of it and closed the door again, quickly pulling Elliot aside to ask, "Elliot, tell me, how did you know N was pregnant?" Elliot honestly replied, "I didn''t know."


    "Huh? But today at daycare, you confidently announced she was pregnant in front of everyone."


    "I said it on purpose."


    Elysia was shocked, "Why? You don''t like her?"


    "It''s not that I don''t like her, but I don''t want to exin it to you today. Can I exin it tomorrow?"


    Elliot wanted to clear up the past events connected to N and the person who took Elijah away before he exined everything to Elysia.


    Elysia looked at Elliot with aplicated expression, but Elliot added, "I know it''s not good to spread rumors about someone for no reason, but trust me, Mom, I have my reasons."


    Of course, Elysia trusted her son! If it were Evan, she might consider it a childish mistake. But Elliot was always thoughtful and wouldn''t spread rumors without a reason.


    She touched Elliot''s cheek, "I know your nature. I''m not ming you, and I''m willing to give you time to exin. I''m just worried about you... N is a big celebrity, and her reputation isn''t great. I''m worried she might try to retaliate because of this."


    Elliot smiled gently, "Don''t worry, Mom. I''m either at school or at home. She won''t have a chance to hurt me. She can''t just kidnap me in broad daylight, right?"


    Evan confidently added, "Mom, don''t worry. I''ve got Elliot''s back! I''ll make sure he''s safe!"


    Elijah also said, "Mom, don''t worry. If necessary, I can ask Dad to step in. We won''t let anything happen to Elliot."


    The kids reassured her one by one, and Elysia''s worries eased. Still, she reminded Elliot, "Be careful not to be alone too much these days." "Okay, Mom, don''t worry. Mom, I''m hungry. Can you make us some pasta? It''s been a while since we had your homemade soup pasta."


    "Sure!"


    After sending Elysia away, Elliot quickly gathered Evan, Emmett, and Elijah back to their room. Now that they had managed to send Tarquin off and reassure Elysia, it was time to focus on the day''s main event. To make sure their n to lure out the mysterious person was foolproof, they needed to prepare in advance. All four of them had roles to y. It was time for them to act together.
