A HUSBAND FOR KILLER MOM - Chapter 276 - 276 Ch. 276 Elliot’s True Colors (part 2)

276 Ch. 276 Elliot’s True Colors (part 2)

For the first time since Song Lei suppressed Elliot and traumatized him, Elliot now dared to show his true self. He hid it all this time because no one supported him or could aid him. Even if Jamie and Mei Yin were on his side, they could never help him—they wouldn’t dare to rebel blatantly.

But it was different when Anxia and Richard aided him. It was as if he got new courage and power to do anything he couldn’t do in the past.

‘Elliot, you can be whoever you want. If you want to fight the person who tortured you in this place, never be afraid to fight them. I will never leave you and am always ready to support you from behind.’

That was what Anxia had said when Anxia told him to pretend to be whoever he wanted.

Anxia thought Elliot was playing the main character in a serial killer, which was popular recently. The character looks weak and powerless, but he uses his brain and acting talent to trick the killer and survives whenever the killer tries to kill him.

Just like the movie character, Elliot looks weak and can’t do anything, but the boy uses his acting talent and perceptiveness to make the boy survive and not become a weakling, helpless child.

“Xiao… Guang, that person is… there must be a misunderstanding between you two. I will tell him to apologize to you. How is it?” Loraine tried to persuade Elliot to forgive Song Lei.

Loraine couldn’t make Elliot hate her. Sooner or later, Deke Shu would meet Elliot and ask the boy’s opinion about the guardian representing the boy before Elliot reached eighteen. If Elliot chose his mother over Loraine, then her attempts to maintain her dominance in this place would be futile.

Loraine was the one who worked hard and endured amidst those huge and terrifying people for so many years. She was also the one who made Di Sha’s power in Etros increase with her efforts. Loraine would never be willing to give Anxia the fruits of her labor just like that.

…..

She had to win Elliot’s heart back. She was sure the clueless little Elliot would feel sorry for her if she begged the boy with pitiful eyes.

Unfortunately for Loraine, she didn’t realize that Elliot knew the significance of his existence to his grandmother very well. He knew he was the only heir to someone influential in Di Sha, and Loraine Shu was using him to get that inheritance.

Elliot might act like he knew nothing, but his survival instincts were solid, even stronger than his mother as Anxia tried to survive amidst master Yu’s deadly training.

He seemed indifferent to the surrounding environment, but his ears and eyes were alert to every corner of this island. Elliot seemed to be taking a walk enjoying the scenery in the afternoon, but actually, he memorized every secret door in this place.

When Song Lei was not on this island, Elliot would sneak out of his room to try to enter the secret room so that without Loraine’s knowledge, Elliot had memorized at least five to seven secret tunnel passages.

Elliot still needed time to explore the place so he could get a full grip on the plans for this house. But he was still very young and was closely watched by Nanny and Song Lei, so he only had a little time to explore this place.

Now Anxia was behind him, and Richard was somewhere watching him; how could he keep hiding behind the shadow? At first, Elliot didn’t believe it when his dad told him that he always saw him somewhere even though he couldn’t see Richard.

But when Song Lei intruded into his room and attacked him in his sleep, he found out that the person who made Song Lei leave was his father. Richard had watched him from a distance somehow.

Even though it sounded unreasonable, imagining that his parents were behind and supporting him, Elliot had extraordinary self-confidence. He felt like a young eagle learning to fly and fall, but he was not afraid because he knew his mother was always ready to support him from below.

That’s why Elliot let go of all the drama and became who he wanted to be.

“Grandma, why don’t you just marry that person? You don’t have to care about me if you don’t love me.”

Anxia almost choked at the snide words uttered by Elliot in a cold tone. How could her son think of violently attacking the woman directly? Is it true that this is Elliot?

“Xiao Guang, that’s not what I meant.”

“Go. I still want to be with my mother before you separate us.” Elliot turned his back on Loraine, who was now deathly pale.

With a relaxed motion, Elliot took Anxia’s hand to sit back on the sofa, and he continued his drawing activities without caring about the widened-jaw Loraine Shu, who didn’t know what else to say.

Not only had Anxia humiliated Loraine in front of Deke Shu’s minions, but now that little brat was also lowering his dignity by being so cheeky!?

Anxia followed Elliot’s super cool attitude as if no one else was in the room and looked at Elliot, who was busy drawing something.

“Elliot, what’s that picture?”

“I don’t know. I wanted to draw a dog, but somehow it looks like a mouse.”

Anxia chuckled upon hearing that. “Don’t worry; I’m also not good at drawing.”

“Do you want to accompany me to draw?”

“Of course.”

Then the two of them drew together in a book while sitting beside each other. It was unknown whether they did it on purpose or not, but they both had forgotten Loraine was in the same room with them.

Loraine bit her lips in frustration and decided to leave the room without making a fuss. The buggies were still working, and she didn’t want to embarrass herself with the mother-son duo anymore.

What Song Lei said was indeed true. She shouldn’t have brought Anxia and Elliot together. The boy grew bolder against her as soon as he met his birth mother.

Even if Anxia had insisted that she didn’t want to help her get the Tiffany program at Diego’s house, Loraine shouldn’t have told the woman about her other child.

At the same time, Anxia typed something on her phone before showing it to Elliot.

‘If I didn’t know you were acting, you make me think you hated your grandmother.’

‘I’m not acting.’ came the reply on the same phone. ‘I have wanted to do this for so long.’

One of Anxia’s eyebrows lifted, reading it. ‘Even if that person is your grandmother?’ n.𝔬.𝒱𝑒𝔩,𝓤/𝑠/𝔅.,-𝗰-𝑂)𝓜

Elliot took a deep breath and let it out slowly. ‘Mama, how long are you going to hide the fact that Loraine Shu is not my grandmother?’

Anxia’s eyes widened reading this question.

So, Elliot already knows??
