DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 176
Chapter 176
Terquin stealthily slipped her phone out of her pocket. The screen was alight with a bold notification.
Squinting. Tarquin read aloud, "Love No. 1.
"Back off, jerk! Who said you could just grab my phone without asking? No manners, no class! Give it back! Give me my phonel"
He chuckled dryly, "All this panic, they say your sins will find you out. If you're bold enough to have a lover, why fear getting caught? Love No. 1 got a sidepiece, do we?"
"It's none of your business! Just give me back my phone!
"Shameless, aren't you?"
"Whether I'm shameless or not is none of your concem, your dog! Dare to answer my phone and see what happens. I'll go to war with you!"
A video call was incoming!
If he swiped to answer. Elliot's face, identical to his own, would appear on the screen.
And then, they'd both be caught...
She couldn't bear to think about it, the mere thought of what might happen next was too horrifying to entertain.
Luckily, just as Elysia's anxiety was reaching a peak, the phone call disconnected automatically.
Elysia's body slumped, her breath coming in heavy gasps.
But then-
The phone rang again!
This time, the screen displayed "Love No. 2."
The mockery in Tarquin's eyes was so evident, even a blind man could see it!
This time, however, before Elysia could speak up, he released her and tossed the phone back to her.
"You're right. Your morals, or lack thereof, are none of my business. My request is simple, just look after Elijah. Keep your vices away from him, and I won't interfere. Take good care of him, and there will be benefits for you. Fail, and don't expect me to be nice!"
His final words were a knot of brows and a gaze filled with threats and wamings.
But Elysia was too preoccupied to notice, clutching the phone to her chest as if it were her lifeline, fearing Tarquin might snatch it away
again.
Love No. 2 was Evan, and she couldn't answer this video call just yet.
With his warning delivered. Tarquin turned to leave.
Only then did Elysia's heart rate begin to normalize
But, as luck would have it, her eyes caught a glimpse of Evan at the end of the aisle!
Clearly, the kid had seen her too. His eyes lit up, and he started toddling her way.
Elysia's heart nearly stopped. She grabbed Tarquin, who was about to turn away, not caring as the phone slipped from her grasp and clattered to the floor
She smacked Tarquin's face with her hands.
This time it was Tarquin's turn to get mad, "What the-?"
Elysia glanced sidelong at the approaching Evan, tongue-tied, "Go... go that way."
"What way? There's a wall and shelves, it's a dead end!"
"You........ just... just..."
Elysia was at a loss, her whole body trembling.
