Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 486

Tending to every need, from offering a glass of water, wiping faces and hands, to pulling off shoes and socks, their care knew no bounds; it was kindness incarnate.

Tarquin just stood there, speechless.

Was Elysia his true love, and he merely an unexpected chapter in her life?

President Bradford, feeling a surge of jealousy, metaphorically gulped down a whole barrel of vinegar before kicking it over in frustration. He then quickly showered, changed into a fresh set of clothes, and by the time he was done, he found the four little ones huddled at the bedside, chattering away.

"Mommy is so beautiful, even more than a fairy."

"Mommy is so cute when she's tipsy, she even sang the national anthem."

"Have you noticed? Mommy is even softer when she sleeps."

"Ha!" Tarquin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

All four heads whipped towards him, their eyes not exactly friendly, "What's so funny?!"

Facing their icy stares, Tarquin pursed his lips, "Nothing. I'll go wash the dishes."

As he turned towards the kitchen, he could still feel the chill in the air behind him.

He couldn't help but muse: Ignorance truly is bliss!

It seemed Elysia must have saved the galaxy in her past life to be so adored by her children in this one.

Rolling up his sleeves, Tarquin efficiently cleaned up the kitchen and dining area.

Just as he was finishing, a call from Axel came through.

Sensing it was important, Tarquin headed to the study to answer, "What's up?"

"All the stray cats in Future Community are dead. It's the work of our mystery person."

Tarquin's frown deepened, "When did this happen?"
