Tarquin suddenly lifted his lashes to look at Elysla.
“...I heard you were studying design at Jindale University before, nothing to do with medicine. How cyou
suddenly know about medical stuff?”
Elysia was taken aback. “You've been looking into me?”
Tarquin held her gaze, blatantly admitting it without a hint of gullt.
Elysia’s heart leaped to her throat.
“What all did you find out?”
“Got something to hide?”
Of course, she did! She feared he would discover the truth about the kids!
“You... you checked on my kids, too?”
Tarquin knew she was nervous about her children. This time, he didn’t use them to provoke her. “No.”
“For real?”
Tarquin gave her a look. “Do you wantto check?”

“No! They're just kids. Why would you look into them? I... I'm just afraid you might hurt them, given your
history!”
She purposefully brought up yesterday's incident at the mall to divert his attention.
Tarquin frowned. “Yesterday was an accident. | was after you, not your son. | didn’t hurt him.”
The fact that he could be so frank about targeting her!
Elysia glared at him, taking a silent, deep breath, relieved that he hadn't looked into the kids.
The next second, she complained, “Do you have a problem? Why are you snooping around me? You know that’s
an invasion of privacy, right?”
Tarquin retorted, “If you've got nothing to hide, you wouldn't fear an investigation.”
“What's there to hide? I've never broken the law!”
“Dropping out of school to get married, for one. And then there's the infidelity during marriage.”
Elysia’s breathing halted, her cheeks flushed.
And a second later, her eyes brimmed with tears. She stared at Tarquin, her gaze burning into him, tears rolling
in her eyes, her breath becoming heavier.
Was she crazy? Was getting married by her own choice?
Was the infidelity by her own choice?
Being forced into marriage wasn’t his fault, but whose fault was the infidelity?

Chapter 133
Elysia clenched her fists, biting her lip, glaring at Tarquin...rage boiling up within her...
Tarquin noticed her emotional shift, his face darkening.
“I only answered because you asked. Your past messes are none of my business, but while you're taking care of
Elijah, you need to stay clean. Don’t corrupt him.”
Elysia looked at him, feeling swallowed up by her own misery.
Anyone could blher, but he had no right!
He had shattered her virtue and ruined her life!
And now he had the audacity to warn her to stay clean!
“You're not human!”

After hurling the accusation, Elysia stormed out of the car, slamming the door behind her, and marched towards
the neighborhood entrance against the biting wind.
Tarquin sat in the car watching her, his expression dark as thunder.
She dared to insult him?
What had he said that was wrong?
She herself had a track record of disgrace, and now she couldn't stand being called out for it?
Not wanting to be talked about, then why commit those shameless acts?
Getting into Jindale University was like winning half the gof life. Landing a good job post-graduation, even if
not earning a fortune, could at least make her live comfortably.
And look at her current predicament, a good hand played utterly poorly!
A seemingly neat and pretty woman, but upon investigation, covered in stains.
She should be cursing herself, not others!
Tarquin thought Elysia’s anger was because he had dug into her past, and after internally grumbling, he smoked
a few cigarettes and went back to spend twith Elijah.
He didn’t take her to heart.
Elysia walked several blocks in the freezing cold, tears streaming down her cheeks, each gust of wind like a knife
slicing her face, hurting terribly with every cut.
