Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 328

Tarquin frowned, "What's wrong?"

"Ms. Thorne fainted!"

Tarquin's face darkened, "What happened?"

"I don't know, she just suddenly collapsed. She seemed pretty agitated before it happened, but I haven't figured out the details yet."

"...First, get Benjamin to take her to the hospital. I'll head there immediately!"

Before leaving, Tarquin stopped by Elijah's door and instructed,

"Elijah, Daddy has to go out for a bit. You play with Elysia's sons for now. If you get tired, you all can go to bed together."

"...Got it."

The kids had no idea about Elysia's fainting episode. They assumed Tarquin was going out to apologize to her, so they didn't think much of it or worry.

They believed that since Tarquin had promised so confidently, he would surely make up with their beloved mom.

That's what Tarquin thought too.

However...

What they never expected was for Elysia to slap Tarquin hard across the face as soon as she woke up in the hospital, not giving him any chance to apologize!

Tarquin was stunned on the spot!

Lowell and Benjamin were so shocked that their eyes nearly popped out of their heads!

There's a saying, "Don't hit the face," because hitting the face is different from hitting any other body part.

An ordinary person's face is off-limits, let alone Tarquin's. It's absolutely forbidden!

Lowell had been with Tarquin for over twenty years and, aside from Elysia, had never seen anyone else dare to touch Tarquin's face!

The same went for Benjamin. He couldn't even imagine someone hitting Tarquin's face, let alone witness it!

Both were trembling, fearing collateral damage, and didn’t dare to breathe a word, quickly leaving the room, leaving behind a slapped Tarquin and a slapping Elysia.

The atmosphere in the room was eerie...

Before Tarquin could unleash his fury, Elysia burst into tears, sobbing as if her heart was broken, utterly aggrieved!

Tarquin clenched his lips tight, glaring at her, fuming!

This was the third time Elysia had hit him in the face!

And it hurt more each time!
