Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 542

Tarquin was utterly clueless about what Elysia was thinking, making it hard not to suspect that her suggestion was driven by a budding interest in him. After pondering for a moment, he called out to her, "Elysia."

"Hmm?"

"Are you...?"

Suddenly, the atmosphere dipped into silence.

Evan was curious, "What does he want to ask?"

Elijah, ever the excited one, declared, "I know Dad. Dad wants to ask Mom if she likes him!"

"What?!" Evan was taken aback, so was Emmett, while Elliot seemed a tad nervous, clenching his tiny fists secretly, eager to hear Mom's response.

But as seconds ticked by, Tarquin remained silent.

Evan, growing impatient, exclaimed, "What's taking him so long? Is he going to ask or not?"

Elijah frowned, "He might not ask after all."

"Why not?" Emmett was curious.

"Dad's got a lot of pride," Elijah explained. "He's probably worried that if he's overthinking it and gets a 'no' for an answer, he'd look vain and that would be embarrassing."

"But doesn't he want to know if Mom likes him?" Emmett asked.
