Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121 

The Dentons had taken Corbin out to Jinpeach Restaurant today. 

What did this mean? 

It meant Corbin was getting better. His autism was receding, and he could now step out into the world like any other kid. 

It was such a slap in the face to all those green with envy. 

Tarquin was taken aback. He whipped out his phone to catch up on the latest news. 

Sure enough, Corbin’s outing to Jinpeach Restaurant was trending. 

Even though Elysia’s face was blurred out in the photos circulating online, Tarquin recognized her instantly. 

No need to wonder–Elysia was the hero behind Corbin’s brave new step! 

After staring at his phone for a while, Tarquin retreated to his study and dialed Benjamin’s number. 

“So, Elysia visited Corbin at the hospital today?” 

“Uh–huh. What’s up? I thought you didn’t want to hear about her anymore. Why the sudden interest?” Tarquin’s face darkened, and he changed the subject, “Corbin’s out and about, eating like the rest of us. Is he recovering that fast?” 

“Yeah, all thanks to Ms. Thorne. I told you she was good, but you wouldn’t believe me!” 

Tarquin just grunted. 

Benjamin went on, “Just you wait, the Dentons are going to offer Ms. Thorne a hefty salary to keep her on.” 

Tarquin frowned and hung up. He mused with a grim expression, then grabbed his car keys and left the house. 

After dinner, Elysia made her way back to Blossom’s neighborhood. 

Blossom had messaged her earlier to say she’d canceled the Airbnb and moved all her things over. 

The little trio was already there in the neighborhood. 

The Dentons had dropped her off, and after saying goodbye, Elysia walked towards the neighborhood entrance. 

But she hadn’t gone far when she spotted someone! 

He was sitting in his car, smoking a cigarette with the window rolled down. She could see his handsome face and his hand resting on the window sill with a cigarette between his fingers. 

And there, on his chin, were the marks she’d left.

Chapter 121 

Elysia’s heart skipped a beat. 

Why was he here? 

What was he doing here? 

Elliot and Evan were in this neighborhood. Could he-? 

No, that wasn’t right. If he’d found out about Elliot and Evan, he wouldn’t be sitting out here alone. He would’ve taken the kids for a DNA test already. 

So, he hadn’t discovered Elliot and Evan. 

Then why was he here? Looking for her? 

She’d just moved in tonight; how could he know she lived here? 

Maybe… he didn’t know? 

Maybe he was just visiting his friends, not her? 

Elysia thought quickly. She whipped out a mask from her bag, put it on, and lowered her head as she continued walking, pretending not to see him. 

The closer she got, the more nervous she became.
