Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 281

Tarquin was frozen, "Yes, we did."

"We did?"

"Yeah, you went too. You were with me, don't you remember?"

Elijah frowned, "...I only remember being asleep the whole time."

Tarquin's brow furrowed in surprise, looking at Elijah incredulously.

Elijah pressed on, "Besides you and Ms. Thorne, who else has been to my room?"

"No one else, what's up?"

Elijah eyed him suspiciously, then turned and left without another word.

Tarquin was visibly anxious. He watched the direction of the door for a moment, then grabbed his phone to call Elysia.

At that moment, Elysia was chatting with Evan about White, "Evan, can you tell if White is a boy or a girl?"

"Of course, it's just like me, a bright and handsome boy."

"Is it time to find a girlfriend then?"

Evan's cheeks flushed with shyness, "Mommy, I'm still a little kid. Didn't you say kids have to grow up before they can have girlfriends?"

Elysia laughed helplessly, "I was talking about White, not you."

"Oh, White can't have a girlfriend yet. It's still too little. Besides, its kind are deep in the forests, if we were to find it a girlfriend, we'd need to go back to the forest. Didn't you say we're not going back anytime soon?"

"That's true, we're not going back..." Elysia sounded a bit dejected.

White was too young for a girlfriend. To find its kind, they'd need to venture into the deep forests.

Well, she couldn't make that money after all!

Just as she was feeling regretful, her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID with a puzzled frown.

What's he calling for so late?

Elysia moved aside to answer. Before she could speak, Tarquin's anxious voice burst through, "Something's happened to Elijah; come over quick!"
