A Husband For Killer Mom

277 Ch. 277 Elliot’s True Colors (part 3)

At first, Elliot didn’t know that Loraine Shu was not his grandmother and believed she was one. But he couldn’t love his grandmother even though Loraine seemed to love him and provide for his daily needs. Getting good treatment from that woman, of course, Elliot was happy and treated her like a family member. Unfortunately, his love for Loraine was outweighed by his affection for Jamie.

Maybe because he was so young, Elliot had a better sense than adults. He was compassionate and could feel who loved him sincerely and who didn’t.

Elliot could feel Jamie’s unconditional love without any ulterior motive. If he did something wrong, Jamie would reprimand him and give him the sense that what he did was bad.

While Loraine Shu… Elliot didn’t know why, but he felt that woman only wanted to play with him when he wasn’t naughty. When Elliot started feeling cranky or throwing a tantrum, the woman immediately disappeared and was replaced by Song Lei, who disciplined him.

Song Lei’s way of disciplining him was too much for him to accept, which made him feel scared and decide not to act naughty in front of Loraine Shu.

One day, he accidentally saw Loraine hugging Song Lei in the woman’s study. Only then did he know that Loraine had sent Song Lei to discipline him.

Young Elliot could only be himself when he was with Jamie—the woman knew all about his naughty, mischievous, and sometimes out-of-control nature.

But the moment Elliot faced Loraine Shu, the boy became a sweet and obedient child.

No one knew Elliot was eager to rebel and was waiting for the right time to avenge Song Lei’s actions against him. He could not accept that Loraine Shu was punishing and torturing Jamie secretly without his knowledge.

.....

Elliot realized he was powerless and couldn’t do anything, but precisely this weakness was his greatest strength. Everyone thought he was an innocent child, so they looked down on him. They didn’t even try to lower their voices when they spoke in a foreign language, thinking that Elliot didn’t understand what they were saying.

In the eyes of Loraine Shu and the others, Elliot only spoke four languages ??when in reality, he spoke more than five.

After honing his skills at acting as a sweet, docile boy and learning many languages ??over the past two years, Elliot finally got used to his fake life.

The adorable act looked flawless and immaculate, making Loraine unable to refuse his request. Elliot didn’t need to worry that Loraine would send Song Lei to punish him because she had no reason to punish him.

Elliot continued acting like a weak child who didn’t know anything even though his mother had come to this place. He still hasn’t shown his true nature even though he has met his father for the second time.

However, during the conversation between his parents when his father intruded into his room, Elliot had the impression that Loraine Shu was not his real grandmother, but Jamie was.

Expectations soar if this assumption is accurate. Although Elliot still didn’t want to show his true intelligence to his mother, Elliot couldn’t help but ask. “Mama, is it true that Aunt Jamie is my real grandmother?” he tried to be as innocent as possible so as not to make his mother suspect that Elliot was always listening to the conversations of the adults around him.

After all, his mother knew he was brilliant and good at acting.

“Loraine Shu is your grandmother.” his mother’s firm answer disappointed Elliot, and he no longer made a sound.

Why did his mother still tell him that Loraine Shu was his grandmother even though Anxia herself doubted this fact? Please visit 𝑓ree𝑤𝘦𝚋𝐧𝘰ve𝑙. co𝒎

Elliot refrained from asking and decided to pay attention to the situation around him. And recently, he saw a drastic change in his mother. Elliot knew Anxia had little respect for Loraine Shu. But… ever since Loraine entered his room and spoke to Anxia, ??Elliot noticed his mother’s furious gaze, looking at Loraine Shu as her worst enemy.

There was no respect or pressure as if afraid of hurting the woman. On the other hand, Elliot felt that his mother wanted to attack this middle-aged woman like a lion about to pounce on its prey.

His mother looked so terrible and awesome at the same time.

Then, Elliot realized his mother had decided not to hold back her true feelings anymore. That’s why Elliot also decided not to hide his true self.

Elliot had been hiding his true nature in the deepest corners of his heart. But now, he let his soul walk out of hiding and be himself.

There was no Xiao Guang who was an expert at acting, and there was no Xiao Guang who was afraid of being punished and tried to please Loraine… there was only Elliot Calvin—son of Richard and Anxia Calvin.

And that’s when he knew… Loraine Shu… this old lady before him wasn’t his real grandmother.

‘How do you know? Since when?’

Elliot read his mother’s written question and again took a deep breath.

‘Mama, I’ll explain everything to you after this is over. For now, shall we continue with our roles?’

Anxia pensively read her son’s answer and then looked at the child with a probing look.

There was something different about the sparkle in her son’s eyes. Usually, Elliot’s eyes would shine like a galaxy indicating how innocent and pure the child’s mind was.

But now… Anxia could see something like a hidden danger behind the gleaming eyes of the galaxy. The same eyes as Richard when he looked at her angrily when Anxia gave a sharp knife to Lori once when she tried to provoke the man’s anger.

Unknowingly, Anxia smiled crookedly and raised a hand to stroke the top of her son’s head. ‘My dear son, it seems you are not what you have shown all this time.’

As she expected. The boy’s face was similar to hers, but this child’s nature was a clone of the boy’s father.

‘I’m looking forward to seeing you grow up.’
