Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1075

If it had been anyone else, they'd surely be labeled a lunatic!

But the eccentric in question was Tarquin, and nobody dared call him mad. Instead, they wondered if their ears had betrayed them!

Tarquin calling Clayton 'Dad'?

Impossible, utterly impossible!

Even Clayton thought he'd misheard.

There was no blood relation, not even the slightest, between himself and Tarquin. How on earth could Tarquin call him Dad?!

He must have misheard, definitely!

Shakily, Clayton inquired, "Mr. Bradford, what... what did you just call me?"

"Dad!" Tarquin repeated earnestly.

His voice was firm, resonating with conviction.

Everyone in the conference room heard it loud and clear!

Their jaws dropped in disbelief!

Confirmed - their ears were fine. It was Tarquin who had lost it!

After his initial shock, Clayton furrowed his brows, concern washing over his face, "Mr. Bradford, are you alright?"

Tarquin calling him dad? Something had to be up with his head!

Understanding Clayton's astonishment, Tarquin turned slightly, "Let's have a father-in-law and son-in-law chat later, shall we? Now, look who's that?"

Father-in-law and son-in-law?

Clayton was dumbfounded, "?!?"

So were the others, "?!?"

Suddenly realizing something, everyone tensed up and turned their heads towards Elysia!

There she stood, behind Tarquin, her eyes red and teary as she looked at Clayton.

At some point, she had removed her mask, revealing a face that was strikingly similar to a young Pamela!

The room was in shock: "!!!"

Elysia knelt before Clayton, her voice choked with emotion, "Dad!"

Clayton stared at her in disbelief, his breathing erratic, his chest heaving!

He was nervous, excited, and utterly confused!
