Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229 

The rain in Jindale City had finally let up, leaving a vibrant rainbow painting the sky. 

People on the streets couldn’t resist the urge to capture the moment, with their smartphones out, exclaiming, “Look, look, a rainbow! So pretty.” 

Lowell couldn’t help but remark, “Ever since Ms. Thorne took Elijah under her wing, it’s like even the heavens stopped crying and threw a rainbow into the mix to celebrate. Seems like there’s some real chemistry between Ms. Thorne and Elijah. Even the universe is taking notes.” 

Tarquin glanced up at the rainbow but didn’t join in the conversation. He wasn’t sure about Elysia and Elijah’s chemistry; he was just happy that the gloomy days were behind them, replaced by clear skies. 

He also snapped a photo with his phone, planning to show it to Elijah later. 

When they reached Blossom’s apartment complex, Lowell parked the car and called Elysia. 

Soon enough, she appeared. 

She was wearing a cream–colored down jacket and snow boots, her face bare of makeup, her hair unstyled and blowing in the wind, covering her eyes. She brushed her hair behind her ear, revealing ears reddened by the cold. Not just her ears, her nose was red too. 

Maybe it was Tarquin’s imagination, or perhaps it was the contrast, but he thought she looked paler than before. 

Lowell got out of the car, and Elysia waved at him, indicating where she was. 

Tarquin stayed inside, lighting a cigarette. He couldn’t hear their conversation, but they seemed to be having a good time. 

She smiled at Lowell, her white teeth and dimples showing. It was, a sweet sight, like that of a gentle 

woman. 

She could smile at Lowell, Benjamin, Zane, and Callum. 

But never at him! 

Hmph! 

Tarquin didn’t know where this irritation came from, but he took a deep drag of his cigarette. 

Soon, Lowell returned to the car, cheerfully announcing, “Ms. Thorne has prepared a feast today. Elijah’s in for a treat.” 

Tarquin kept a straight face, not responding. 

As Lowell got in and closed the door, he turned and said, “Guess what Ms. Thorne told me?” 

“Not interested.” 

“Aren’t you a bit curious?” 

“What could she possibly say? It’s not like something good will come out of her mouth about me. It’s all just trash talk.” 

Lowell paused and then said, “You’re wrong. She didn’t mention you at all.”

Embarrassment opened the door, and humiliation walked right in. That was even worse than trash talk! 

“Why didn’t she mention me?” 

“No idea. Not a word about you.”
