When most people see a spread of seafood, they think of a gourmet feast. But all Elysia could see was dollar signs!
Before Tarquin could even open his mouth, Elysia was already firing away, "You handed me a cool million this morning, and now you're splurging on this fancy seafood dinner. What's the deal? Where is all this money coming from?"
Tarquin remained silent, which only made her more anxious and afraid, "You... you didn't get involved in something illegal, did you?!"
Tarquin was at a loss for words, "Is your brain just filled with mush?"
"Your brain is the one filled with mush!" Elysia snapped back, and then pressed on, "If your money is clean, why can't you just say so?"
Tarquin, head down and wearing gloves, meticulously arranged the lobster and king crab layers into the oven, then moved on to start frying some vegetables, clearly trying to ignore Elysia.
But Elysia, standing right beside him, wouldn't stop badgering him, raising her voice, "Don't forget you're a father! Everything you do affects Elijah! You can't get involved in anything shady, not for Elijah's sake."
Tarquin, annoyed by her nagging and initially wanting to send her away, turned to look at her, remembering he had something to ask her, "I'm not involved in anything illegal."
"Then where did the money come from?"
"Some opportunities are meant to be kept secret, you know?"
Elysia was momentarily taken aback, suspiciously asking, "So, you made a fortune through legal means?"
Tarquin's eyes narrowed slightly, "A small fortune."
"A small fortune? You gave me a million dollars! And you can afford all this seafood, it's definitely not 'small'! How did you earn it?"
"What's it to you?"
"Teach me, I want to make a fortune too."
Tarquin was speechless...
Claiming bankruptcy, she believed him instantly.
Claiming he made a small fortune through legal means, she believed him again.
If he didn't know she was already a mother of three, he'd mistake her for a college student.
