Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 517

Elysia was torn.

"Kids make choices, adults want it all!"

Tarquin remained silent, just watching her, waiting for her to decide.

After a moment, Elysia said hesitantly, "If I really have to choose one, it would definitely be to ensure your safety."

A flicker of something passed through Tarquin's eyes as he squinted. "Not interested in money anymore?"

"Of course, I am."

"Then why choose my safety over money? If I'm safe, you won't get paid."

"That's not necessarily true. If you're safe and sound, you'll probably be in a good mood, right? Maybe you'll just decide to generously give me a ton of money out of the blue. You know, like those tycoons on TV shows who throw money around when they're happy."

Tarquin was taken aback by her logic, something most wouldn't consider. "Do you even remember your condition?"

"Of course, I just have to answer a question, right?"

"Right. And if you don't answer it properly, you'll end up broke for life."

What?!

Elysia's eyes widened. "Don't spout nonsense! I refuse to be broke; I'm destined to be rich!"

Tarquin teased her, "I cursed you in my mind during our bet today. If you don't answer my question seriously, you'll indeed end up broke."

Elysia was flabbergasted. "What's wrong with you! You can't just curse me!"

"I didn't really curse you. Just a heads-up not to back out."

Elysia glared at him, clearly annoyed.

Tarquin remained unfazed. "If you answer seriously, you'll definitely get rich."
