Chapter 664
Keith stood in the living room, a frown creasing his brow as he watched her. Yet, she didn't even glance his way, as if she had completely forgotten he was there... and that she and Tarquin were in the midst of a silent battle.
Brimming with excitement, she ran to the door, quickly adjusting her clothes and hair, taking several deep breaths before finally opening the door. Her cheeks flushed, she stuttered at Tarquin, "Why, why are you here without telling me first?"
At that moment, Tarquin was seething, too furious to utter a word! He didn't respond to her, just shot her a glance before immediately looking towards Keith, his gaze as sharp as a dagger, filled with menacing intent.
Elysia noticed this and, afraid he might act impulsively and start a fight, quickly stepped outside, "Let's talk." As she went out, she also closed the door behind her.
Keith's gaze lingered, witnessing all the demure gestures Elysia displayed upon seeing her beau; it was clear as day to him. He was certain, Elysia had truly fallen for Tarquin! Keith's frown deepened, a layer of frost seeming to cover his eyes...
Outside, Elysia and Tarquin stood face to face. Before he could ask, Elysia began explaining today's incident, "This morning, the gas was cut off in our area, and Keith came over to check on my situation. Just then, my bathroom's water pipe burst, and Keith came in to help fix it... That's why he was at my place."
She wasn't lying. When Keith knocked on her door to ask about the gas, there was a sudden 'bang' from the bathroom! She rushed to check, finding the water pipe had burst, water gushing out. In panic, she tried to stop the flow and called the property management, completely overlooking Keith. It wasn't until the property management staff arrived that she even noticed him... She hadn't even had the chance to ask Keith if his injured arm got wet before Tarquin showed up.
Tarquin, upon hearing this, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, "Fixing the pipe?"
"Yes! If you don't believe me, you can go check. Not just Keith is there, but also the property management staff, they're still fixing the bathroom. You can also ask Elijah, the kids can vouch for me, I'm not lying."
Elysia finished, cautiously glancing at him as if afraid he wouldn't believe her. Tarquin looked down at her, believing her! So, his anger subsided a bit. But, he couldn't believe it was all just coincidence!
Today he received those photos, and when he arrived in a rage, he saw the scene unfold before him... If he hadn't retained a bit of his rationality, if Elysia hadn't turned him away, they would have definitely argued again! The result of an argument would be, after three days of cold war, their relationship would further deteriorate!
So, today's series of events seemed less like coincidences and more like someone had planned them from the start! Who could that be? The answer was obvious.novelbin
Tarquin lifted his head, subconsciously glancing towards the door, his eyes dark and deep. He couldn't allow Keith to continue causing trouble. If this went on, his relationship with Elysia would be in jeopardy. Today, he had to understand Keith's motives!
