Chapter 3112
"But with the Eastern Falcon on his side, taking him down won't be easy," Ellar said, a frown creasing
his brow as he voiced his concerns.
"That's only a fraction of their force. Most of their ranks haven't sided with Everett yet. We believe
Everett has the Eastern Falcon's leader under his thumb, so Zane is on a mission to locate and free
them," Nicole detailed.
Oh," Ellar thought aloud, "If that's the case, we might not be in such a tight spot after all."
He then turned to Patricia, adding, "Still, you need to tread carefully in your endeavors."
"Don't worry, I'm handling it," Patricia replied, her voice laced with an icy undertone.
Ellar was visibly taken aback, ending the conversation with a heavy silence.
Hey, Ellar, I caught wind you've got a cousin crashing at your place. What's up with that?" Lulu inquired,
her curiosity undiminished by Nicole's briefing. The sudden mention of a cousin previously unknown
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpiqued her interest.
"It's a bit of a saga," Ellar exhaled.
"Do tell," Lulu pressed, her interest hitting its peak.
Reluctantly, Ellar shared, My mom claims she's some distant kin, not even directly related. How does
that even make her a relative?"
His expression conveyed his turmoil. "She's in town job hunting and might stick around San Joto to
advance her career."
"I get it," Lulu nodded, understanding the situation. "So, she's bunking with you for the time being."
"Exactly," Ellar grimaced, "And by the looks of it, my mom's not keen on her leaving any time soon. It's
gotten so bad, I've started avoiding home.
Ended up camping out in my office last night.'
"Your mom's cool with you not coming home?" Lulu frowned, implying that Emma might be
orchestrating a scenario for Ellar and Doretta to get closer.
'I just play it off that work's been a bear, keeping me late; too late to head home," Ellar let out a weary
sigh. "Feels like I've been demoted from being their son, and Doretta is taking the spot."
"Hahaha, watch out, or that might just become the reality," Lulu couldn't resist teasing.
"Stop, you're pushing me to the edge here," Ellar protested, running his hands through his hair in
vexation. "Now, it's like my mom picks apart everything I do but sees Doretta through rose-colored
glasses."
"You know, you could sway Emma to see you in a better light," Lulu suggested, her eyes gleaming
mischievously.
Ell ar gave Lulu a look of annoyance. "Don't even start with me agreeing to anything."
"Just imagine, bringing a girlfriend home could be the endgame," Lulu retorted, a bit exasperated.
The real snag was Ellar's lack of a girlfriend. With one, Emma's attention wouldn't be so fixated on
Doretta.
"Thanks, but no thanks," Eliar dismissed the idea with a vigorous shake of his head. "I'd rather stay
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsingle than play that game."
For Ellar, no one else came close to Patricia. To settle for anyone else wouldn't just be tough on him;
it'd be unfair to the other person involved.
"There you go-"
Before Lulu could finish the sentence, Patricia cut in, "Food's here, let's eat. ■
As Lulu began to dig in, she paused, sneaking a peek at Patricia and couldn't suppress a sly snicker.
Was Patricia changing the subject for Ellar's sake, or was she feeling a bit awkward herself?
Nicole, catching the silent communication, had to stifle her laughter at the palpable tension.
"Ellar, it's high time you sorted this out. Letting it drag on will only make things worse, and Emma's
bound to get the wrong idea. Avoiding the issue won't cut it," Nicole counseled.
"How am I even supposed to address this mess?" Ellar thought, exasperated, "And what's going
through my mom's head? Doretta doesn't seem into me that way either. We hardly even make eye
contact. How did my mom jump to the conclusion we could be a thing?"
