Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 463

```markdown

"Huh?!"

The Slater family, upon hearing the news, widened their eyes in disbelief, "What?!"

The three little ones also had their eyes wide open, equally shocked.

Tarquin, unfazed, smoothed a crease on his suit sleeve and repeated, "I am the guardian of these kids. What do you, the Slater family, want to discuss? How do you want to settle this?"

Nola was flabbergasted, "Tarquin, have you lost your mind? They're not your kids. How can you claim to be their guardian?!"

Tarquin looked at her, "If I say I am, then I am. Got a problem with that?"

"I…" Nola bit her lip, feeling utterly wronged.

Aileen knew trouble was brewing the moment Tarquin made his stance clear. Her heart sank, and she fainted.

"Mom!" Nola cried, rushing to Aileen’s side.

The family doctor quickly attended to her, assuring everyone that Aileen had just passed out due to overwhelming emotions and was otherwise fine.

Donovan, having just recovered from the shock of their family heirloom being destroyed, glared at the three youngsters. He wished he could tear them apart, but with Tarquin protecting them, he dared not act rashly.

He turned his furious gaze towards the servants of the Slater family, "What exactly happened here today? I want the full story, and nobody better lie to me, or else!"
