Chapter 84
“So, Mom had the accident on the very sday! | have a wild guess. The day Tarquin flew back home, Mom
picked him up, and they got it on at the airport, which led to us being conceived. But for sreason, they
didn’t get a good look at each other, so they had no idea they had just hooked up with one another. And that’s
where all the misunderstandings started.”
“Huh?” Evan and Emmett both stared at Elliot.
Their eyes said it all: they didn’t get it, not one bit.
Elliot furrowed his brow and continued, “So, that’s why Tarquin changed the divorce papers, and Mom just
silently admitted to everything because she didn’t know that she had been with Tarquin. She thought she had
actually cheated during her marriage.”

Evan and Emmett blinked, asking, “Then what?”
Elliot explained, “That could explain why Mom cback wanting a divorce from Tarquin, even though she had
seen him several times but didn’t recognize him. Because she had not idea what Tarquin looked like!”
Evan, still puzzled, asked, “So you mean to say, Mom confused Tarquin and our dad, thinking they were two
different guys, but actually, they’re the sperson?”
“Exactly, that’s what I'm saying! Likewise, Tarquin didn’t know that Mom was his wife in
name.”
“Whoa, this is...” Evan scratched his head, “So, tell me, is Tarquin a good guy or a bad guy?” “If you look at it
from his point of view, him saying Mom cheated isn’t exactly wrong.”
“How can you say that? Wasn't he the one who slept with Mom? He's the one who wronged her and then accuses
her of cheating!”
“That's because he doesn’t know that he was with Mom, just like she doesn’t know she
was with Tarquin.”
Evan got all muddled again, “So... so... do we still go after Tarquin for revenge?”
“Yes, we do. No matter what, he hurt Mom's feelings, and that’s wrong!”
“Yeah, exactly!” Evan nodded vigorously. He was worried Elliot might suddenly say they shouldn't seek revenge.
Evan didn’t care about the details; anyone who made his mom sad deserved payback!
“But...” Elliot's tone shifted, “We need to clear up two things first. One, Tarquin didn’t want Mom, and he was the
one who initiated the divorce, so why is he reluctant to go through with it now? Two, what exactly happened back
then? Why did they get intimate but fail to

see each other's faces clearly?”
Evan said, “The first point is the most crucial because that’s what's eating away at Mom. She cback to
finalize the divorce.”
“Right, now things are starting to make sense. Although they didn’t recognize each other, Nola picked on
Emmett at the airport on the day we cback, and you went to settle the score. You ended up trashing
Tarquin’s car, which got Mom and Tarquin tangled up again. Because of that, Tarquin had Mom taken, but we
smoked ‘em out and got her to safety. Then, to get back at him for Mom, we snatched sof his business deals
and cracked his security system as a warning. Plus, | made sure no one could track Mom! This made Tarquin
think that Mom was sbig shot who was deliberately making her presence felt and had a target on his back.
That's why he’s been so fixated on Mom, tossing attitude her way! The other day, | accidentally overheard Mom
talking with her friend, and she mentioned that Tarquin has been misunderstanding her intentions the whole
time.”
