Chapter 178

The moment they met, Emmett blurted out. “Mommy, why’s your face all red? Your ears, too?”

Elysia flushed with embarrassment and said, “Oh, | was just helping the clerk restock sitems, and it got a bit

warm

Emmett bought the story. “So you were just hot

Elysia chuckled, gearing up to change the subject when Evan, the little straight-shooter, suddenly asked,

“Mommy, who was that man you just kissed?”

“What?” Elysia was dumbstruck.

“I saw everything. Mommy You jumped right into his arms and even stood on your tiptoes to kiss him. When the

guy fell back, he wrapped his arms around your waist, just like couples do on TV. You were all huggy and kissy”

Elysia was speechless. She wished the ground would swallow her up, hearing that from her little boy!

Now, not only were her face and ears red, but her neck was flushed too!

“Are you in love, Mommy?” Evan probed further

Elysia’s eyelashes fluttered madly, at a loss for words

If not so why kiss the guy?

If yes? She didn’t want to weave that web of lies.

Just when she didn’t know what to do. Elliot cto her rescue, “Evan, Mommy's a lady, and asking her directly

like that will make her shy

“Huh? How should | ask, then?” Evan's face was the picture of innocence.

Elliot glanced at Mommy as he said, “Don’t ask at all. It's Mommy's little secret.”

With that, he took Evan and Emmett by the hand and headed for the toy department, distracting them with the

promise of choosing new 10ys

“Elliot is such a sweetheart Blossom remarked, giving Elliot a nod of approval before elbowing Elysia with a

mischievous grin, “So, spill the beans, what's the deal?”

Elysia exhaled. “It's complicated,”

“Complicated? Who did you kiss? Any guy you'd take the initiative with has to be someone special Con, dish

the dirt, | want the scoop.”

“Special, my foot Elysia was fuming. “It was Elijah’s dad! He's been tailing me, copying everything | buy. |

world of trouble. So, thinking on my feet, | just...um, grabbed his face to distract him. And besides, he was

wearing a mask.

Blossom gasped. “It was him?”

*Who else?”

“Holy smokes, lucky | grabbed Evan and got out of the

Blossom was still shaken,

“But why is he stalking you and buying the sthings?”

“He says it's because Elijah likes the meals | make and wanted to check out my ingredients and seasonings.”

“Why not just ask you? Oh wait, you stated clearly that you want nothing to do with her now, so that excuse

kinda holds water.”

Elysia pressed her lips together. Regardless of the reason, having Evan see her kiss a man was not a good thing.

She felt like she hadn't set a good example for her kids!

“We better be more careful from now on, especially since we're in the scity. Running into each other is just

too likely,” Blossom

advised.

Elysia nodded firmly. “Yeah!”“”

They had to be careful, Jindale City wasn’t that big, and the chances of bumping into each other were high. She

should really get moving on the divorce with Tarquin! And take the kids and get out of here!

Tomorrow, she'd confront Tarquin and force him to finalize the divorce!
