Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 245

Elysia pouted, turning on her heel and exiting the room.

Tarquin scowled, lighting up a cigarette before finally picking up the phone.

"Is Elijah okay now?" Gideon asked.

Tarquin remained silent, prompting Gideon to ask again, "What happened so suddenly? How did he get better?"

Impatiently, Tarquin snapped, "He just did."

"How is that even...?"

"How is it not?"

Clearly in a bad mood, Tarquin's attitude left Gideon silent for a few seconds before he said, "I'm coming over to see him."

"Not a good time." Tarquin ended the call bluntly.

Listening to the dial tone, Gideon cursed under his breath, "Damn it!"

His confidant tried to calm him down, "Sir, didn't you notice? If Tarquin isn't happy, it means something's off. If Elijah was truly better, he'd be thrilled."

Gideon narrowed his eyes and asked, "So, he's lying?"

"It seems pretty obvious."
