Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 397

Elijah really needed to get out more, mix it up with new faces and places.

There was a brief silence before Tarquin glanced over at Elijah, making sure the little guy wasn't paying attention to their conversation. He then spoke, “You know, if you want to take Elijah for a while, that’s cool. Let’s make a deal.”

“A deal? What kind of deal?”

Tarquin was upfront, “I want to do another paternity test. I need your sample.”

If she agreed, it would be way better than him sneaking around behind her back. Once the results were in, he could openly discuss it with her.

Elysia’s face dropped, her heart racing, “You still want to…”

“Shh, keep it down! I’m not forcing you, just proposing an idea!”

“But you promised Elijah you’d stop snooping around! Breaking your word is low!”

Tarquin furrowed his brow, “I’m just discussing it with you!”

“Well, let me make it clear, I don’t agree! End of discussion!”

Tarquin saw her strong opposition, he frowned but didn’t lose his temper or force the issue. His son was nearby, and he wasn’t about to upset her and make his son unhappy. Plus, what if she really was the one he was looking for? If he upset her now, he might regret it later.

“If you don’t agree, then you don’t agree. I was just asking,” he said, trying to appear nonchalant.
