Zane looked perplexed. “Did you ever find the kids‘ father?”
No, I raped them by myself.”
To was visibly impressed. “That must be tough, a single mom with three kids. How did you manage?
“Just taking it one day at a time, you know? Sure, there have been tough spots, but overall, there’s been more joy than not.”
And you… you don’t ever want to find their father?”
Elysia shook her head emphatically. “No need. The kids are all I need.”
Zane’s gaze lingered on her, filled with compassion.
Blossom too looked at her with an expression of deep sympathy.
Elysia offered a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry about me. I’m doing really well. Once the divorce is finalized and the kids‘ paperwork is sorted, I plan to move to a cozy town and settle down.”
Zane was taken aback. “You’re not divorced yet?”
She shook her head. “I guess he hasn’t signed the divorce papers yet.”
Frowning. Zane asked, “Why wouldn’t he sign?
“I wish I knew.”
“You’ve been back for a few days now, right? How come the divorce isn’t final?”
Elysia’s face was a picture of frustration. “He’s complicating things. I haven’t even been able to see him.”
“What do you mean? Doesn’t he want the divorce?”
“He says he does.”
Blossom chimed in, “I bet he’s dragging his feet because he knows you really want the divorce. He’s probably doing it out of spite, because of what happened back then.”
Elysia was just as puzzled. “But he’ll want to get married and have his own kids someday, right? Holding onto this marriage isn’t doing him any favors–unless he plans on never getting married.”
Otherwise, he’d be committing bigamy.
Zane, with a furrowed brow, offered, “If it’s okay with you, you can tell me who he is. I’ll

help you sort things out with him. If there’s no love left, It’s best to just end it.
Blossom also looked at Elysia expectantly. Up to this point, she still had no idea who Elysia’s deadbeat husband was.
Elysia, however, remained firm. “You two don’t need to worry about this, I’ll handle it.”
She couldn’t very well tell them–there was a confidentiality agreement from their secret marriage that she couldn’t breach.
More importantly, with Tarquin’s current influence, she wouldn’t dare let Blossom and Zane approach him. If Tarquin got angry and went after them in retaliation, she couldn’t have that on her conscience.
Seeing Elysia’s resolve, Blossom and Zane didn’t press further.
Zane tried to lighten the mood, “Listen, if you run into any trouble in Jindale City, you come to me. No need to be shy, okay?” Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Okay.”
After chatting for a while longer, Zane was the first to leave. As soon as he got into his car, he whipped out his phone and transferred fifty thousand dollars to a certain account. Then he made a call..
“I need you to dig up who Elysia’s husband is. If you hit a wall, go ask the Thorne family. Do it fast, and there’s another fifty thousand in it for you. And the job from last night, all taken care of?”
“Yep!”
“Make sure you covered your tracks. If anyone gets wind of this, we’re both done for.”
“Understood.”
Hanging up, Zane leaned back in his seat, a complex expression on his face as he stared at the Wheatfield Homestay.
He hadn’t expected Elysia to reappear in his life. He certainly hadn’t anticipated that she was still married. And he had never imagined that Elysia would have kids, let alone triplets!
After a while, he exhaled slowly, started the car, and drove off, dialing a number as he
went.
“Hey, I want to place an order for three kids‘ breakfast specials, delivered to Wheatfield Homestay, Building 1. And make it the deluxe versions, please.”

The trio woke up in a bit of a panic.
