Chapter 175

Their breathing wes rapid, a sure sign of mounting fury

Get off mer Elysia’s cheeks flushed mu as she shoved at him, trying to push him away.

Tarquin stood firm as a rock, Teeling like a kitten was playfully scratching of his chest.

Cut it out!

If you don’t back off, | swear | scream! Get lost, you creep!”

The moment she tried to hit him, Tarquin caught her wrist and held it high above her head.

When she attempted to kick, Tarquin leaned in, pinning her in place.

Anonly embarrassed, Elysia nearly walled, “Help... mmmph..."”

Tarquin quickly covered her mouth with his other hand, silencing her cries.

“Shut it! | admit | followed you here today, but it wasn’t for you-it was for Elijah! He loves the meals you cook,

and | just wanted to see what ingredients and seasoning packets you're using.”

The reason he had been following Elysia all day was just that.

Elysia shook her head violently, trying to escape his grip.

Tarquin issued a waming, “I can let you go, but if you dare scream, I'll just have to silence you again.”

He released her, and Elysia didn’t scream. She just faced him, fuming, “Are you insane? If you wanted to know

what ingredients and seasoning packets | use, you could have just asked! Don’t you have a mouth? Or you

could've messaged me!”

Tarquin was even angrier than she was. “Do you think you would've toldif | asked? The moment you sow me

today, you toldto get lost!”

“And why do you think I told you to get lost? Don’t you have any clue?”

“What clue? All | did was save you!”

“You're accusingof ingratitude? What right do you have to say that? If | hadn't thought about Elijah being

orphaned if you died, | would have ended you right there in that abandoned building today!”

“You wanted to end me? How is that not ingratitude? Why the hell would | have gone to that derelict site if not to

save you?”

“I didn’t need your rescue!”

Tarquin was so angry he was practically gasping for air.

I've dealt with unreasonable women before, but never someone as ungrateful as you. If I'd known, | would've left

you to their mercy!”

“You. It’s you who's ruined me! I've already died once because of you, what more do you want?”

“You say I've ruined you? Clarify that right now!”

1. Elysia’s eyes reddened with anger.

If it wasn’t for the kid, she would drag all their past into the light of day. To face him head-on, to have it

out once and for all!

“Don’t play dead! You won't leave until you make yourself clear today!”

Tarquin glared at her like a parent disciplining a wayward child. He believed he hadn’t done anything

unforgivable to Elysia.

At first, he did suspect her motives for approaching him, but it was nowhere near as severe as she claimed.

Ruined? If someone else heard that, they'd think he'd done something terrible to her!

Elysia bit her lip, glaring furiously at him. She wanted to speak but didn’t dare, only puffing up in silent rage.

As she struggled with what to do, her phone’ suddenly rang. She knew it had to be Blossom arriving with the

boys.

Thinking of the boys, Elysia’s heart raced, her pulse throbbing in her throat.

Seeing her reaction, Tarquin narrowed his eyes as he said, “Answer the phone:

Elysia shook her head frantically.

The more she resisted, the more Tarquin suspected there was something amiss with the call.

He reached straight into her pocket.

Elysia exploded, “You jerk, what are you doing? Don’t touch me!”

Through the thin fabric, Tarquin felt the heat of her skin, a flicker of something crossing his face, but he didn’t

linger and quickly
