Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 335

The night wrapped around him tightly, with only the faint glow of his cigarette offering any light. They say the higher your hopes, the greater your disappointment.

Tonight, his expectations had been sky-high. He thought Elysia was undressing him to tend to a bite. He thought Elysia knew Elijah's mother! He was convinced he'd get some information out of Elysia! Even just a little bit would help him find her!

He had taken advantage of her, and he felt guilty for it! But at the same time, he genuinely wanted to find her and treat her right. He wanted to spoil her, pamper her, protect her! People said Elijah was obsessed with his mother. Truth be told, he was just as obsessed with that woman! Desperate to find her, willing to lay his heart bare, all to treat her right!

He felt if he could just find her, he'd spoil her to the heavens. He'd happily revolve around her 24/7 without ever getting tired! Even if she wanted the stars from the sky or the moon from the sea, he'd rack his brain to pluck them or scoop them up! He knew it was futile, knew it was impossible, but as long as it made her happy!

He wanted to find her so badly, to spend his life spoiling her!

Tarquin's heart felt like it was on fire, burning and aching. It wasn't until Lowell cautiously approached, mentioning that Blossom had arrived at the community gate to pick up the children, that he snapped back to reality.

"Let her pick them up."

"Okay."

Lowell made a call to the community gate, then cautiously looked at Tarquin, asking, "Tarquin, are you okay?"

Tarquin frowned, stubbing out his cigarette, and started walking out as he called Keaton Huber. He was irritated and in the mood for a drink. Lowell didn't know what had happened but felt a pang of sympathy for him, silently sighing as he followed Tarquin to the bar.

The two left, and the gazebo sank back into silence. A disheveled woman with a pale face suddenly emerged from behind the bushes. She tilted her head, suspiciously watching the direction Tarquin and Lowell had gone... She didn't know Tarquin, didn't know who he was, but she had seen his face. She thought of Elysia's child... They looked exactly alike!

"Sarah!"
