Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1085

Tarquin's brow was furrowed with deep concern when Joshua spoke up, “I work for the National Security Agency, and I really want to help you. But since your parents' situation involves state secrets, I can’t just go snooping around.

However, I've already asked for guidance from my superiors. I’ll let you know as soon as I hear anything.”

Robert added, “I work in military intelligence, and I can't investigate your parents' case on my own steam either. But I've reported it up the chain. We’re waiting on word.”

The Patel brothers, one in politics, one in the military, and one in business, all excelled in the realm of cyber technology.

They were top-tier talents in the digital information sphere!

The higher their rank, the more low-key they became. Coupled with their line of work, it made the Patels seem all the more enigmatic to outsiders.

Tarquin snapped back to the present, grateful, “Thanks, dad. Thanks, uncles.”

“Family doesn’t keep score.”

The room filled with their voices until well past eleven before everyone called it a night.

Everyone else had turned in when Tarquin returned to his bedroom, stirring Elysia awake. She sat up, asking, “What did your dad want to talk about for so long?”

Tarquin walked over to the bed, tenderly stroking her cheek, “Just some work stuff. Have you reached out to Winona?”

“Couldn’t get through. But I talked to Callum. He said Winona’s production team went off the grid but should wrap up before the holidays. If all goes well, Winona will be back by then.”

Tarquin and Callum were close friends, so he had no reason to doubt.

Heading off the grid explained why Zane hadn’t been in touch with Elysia for so long.

Seeing Elysia stop fretting, Tarquin didn’t worry further.

He kissed Elysia’s forehead, telling her to get some sleep while he went to freshen up.

Before heading to the bathroom, he made a call to Jindale City to check on Verity’s illegitimate child.

No matter what the mysterious figure was after, whether they found it or not, it was directly linked to his parents’ death!

A vendetta for murder, a debt greater than the heavens!
