Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 410

Elysia tilted her head back and chugged another pint.

After finishing, she plopped down onto the couch, her gaze blurry, not just full but dizzy too.

Tarquin squinted his attractive eyes and asked her, “Can you handle more?”

“Of course, I can! I'm the champ at this, you think you can get me drunk? No way! I... I can handle two more! No, three! Try me, go on, fetch more drinks!”

After her declaration, her head drooped forward.

Her forehead knocked against the coffee table, jolting her awake.

She rubbed her forehead, whining like a toddler, “Ouch…”

Tarquin felt a pang of sympathy, but her dazed expression just made him roll his eyes.

Just as he was about to speak, she suddenly turned, raised her hand, and slapped him, “Why’d you hit me?”

Tarquin was speechless. Who's hitting whom?

“I didn’t hit you!”

Elysia snapped back, “If you didn’t hit me, why would it hurt?”

“So, it hurts because I hit you?”

“There's only us here, who else could've hit me?”

“Couldn’t you have bumped into something?”

“That's impossible! I'm not dumb. It must've been you!”

Tarquin was dumbfounded. Was this what they call 'playing the victim'?

“I…”

“Just so you know, I may look easy to push around, but I can get fierce!”

She finished with a menacing grin, as if showing off how sharp her teeth were.

Tarquin rolled his eyes again, “…”

Elysia smirked, “Scared, huh? I’ve got these two canines, sharpest you’ll see!”

Tarquin glanced at her small canines, reminded of the bite marks on his shoulder, and his expression softened a bit.

“Elysia, I want to ask you something.”

“Yeah, shoot!”
