Chapter 146
Elysia’s smile broadened, her heart swelling with pride at her son’s thoughtfulness. It was impossible not to grin when faced with such
care
She affectionately pinched Elliot’s cheek, her voice tender with love.
“You know, you didn’t seek the spotlight, but if you did, you’d outshine every kid in town. You could become the next big thing in Hollywood in no time at all. But looking after you kids is my job. I brought you into this world, and I’ll be damned if I don’t see you all grown up. Don’t worry, sweetheart. Times are tough now, but I will work my socks off, earn more dough, and make sure we live that sweet middle–class dream!*
Chasing that dream with her three little ones was Elysia’s grand mission in life.
Elliot sighed silently, wishing he could magically produce money from his piggy bank to help out Elysia, but she never gave him a
chance.
“What’s with the face? Don’t believe in me?” she teased.
Elliot quickly shook his head, “No way, Mommy. You’re like a superhero to us. You’re amazing, and I know you’ll make our lives better.”
Elysia beamed with confidence, “You bet, kiddo. Mommy won’t let you down!”
She firmly believed that hard work always paid off. She might lack formal education, but she was far from foolish. Achieving a comfortable life with her three kids was a hopeful prospect.
Elliot, watching her closely, suddenly lit up with an idea.
“Mommy, Blossom said you’re awesome at special education and even saved a kid by accident.”
“I wouldn’t say ‘awesome,’ just experienced. What about it?”
“At preschool today, a kid said her mom writes articles from home and makes good money. Maybe you could write about special education and earn some cash?”
Elysia blinked, considering the idea she had never thought of before. If it were possible, it would be more than ideal.
Working from home meant flexibility, and she could take care of her kids. It was a perfect job opportunity.
“I’ll look into it,” she said with newfound hope.
“Okay!”
Elliot had just shown Elysia a promising path. He excused himself to the bathroom, took a seat, and began to search for writing opportunities on his kiddie smartwatch. He was determined to find a well– paying gig for his mom.
Settling into bed that evening, Blossom sighed contentedly, “Today was a blast, felt like a real celebrity.”
Elysia chuckled, “Congrats on gaining two little fans.”
“Die–hard fans! You should’ve seen Evan and Emmett’s adoring gazes. If it weren’t for Elliot’s cool demeanor, I’d start believing I was some kind of superstar!”
Elysia laughed, “Elliot’s mature for his age. He admires you too.”
Blossom was over the moon as she quizzed Elysia, “Any word from that wild man?”
Elysia shrugged, “Nope.”
“He’s really giving up on you?”
“Looks like it.*
“I’m shocked he discarded you so quickly. Congrats, though! No more dodging his advances, and you’re finally free.”
Elysia murmured an agreement, but inwardly/she wasn’t as thrilled, even a bit resentful.
What was that about? He’s really just gonna toss her aside after one day?
She genuinely wanted nothing to do with the man, yet she couldn’t help but worry about Elijah. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
That boy, a mirror image of Evan, tugged at her heartstrings.
