Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 599

Elysia bit her lip, visibly annoyed. "..."

"That's so dominating and forceful, it's really irritating!" she thought, clenching her fists in frustration. But deep down, she knew it was true. If he really wanted to do something to her, she'd be powerless to stop him.

In the heat of the moment, her rationale had flown out the window. She was convinced he did it on purpose. After all, he had sneaked in through the window!

There she was, taking a shower, and in came this guy, sneaking through her window. And when she tried to run, he grabbed her, and even pulled off her towel... Of course, she'd think he was up to no good. It had to be intentional!

Elysia pouted, grumbling, "Intentional or not, you're still in the wrong!"

"Yes, I admit I was wrong! That's why I said you could have your revenge, didn't I?" Tarquin replied.

Elysia pursed her lips and glared, ready to erupt again. Tarquin quickly explained, "I wasn't trying to be a creep. If I were, I wouldn't have asked for your opinion. I don't get why you got so mad after hearing it. If I knew it would backfire, I definitely wouldn't have said it. I was just trying to cheer you up, not make you angry or anything shady."

His face was a picture of sincerity, but Elysia couldn't help but complain, "Who cheers someone up like that?"

Tarquin said, "I've never really interacted with women before, so I guess I don't know how to make someone feel better. I'll learn."

Elysia's lips moved, but she said nothing more. Tarquin added, "Even though it wasn't on purpose, the situation was my fault, so I'm sincerely apologizing. Tell me what you want to make it right."

Elysia hesitated for a moment, then saw her chance and said, "I want to take Elijah in after he's discharged from the hospital!"

"Done! No problem!" Tarquin agreed readily. Climbing through that window was all about telling her this.

He figured Keaton was right; there was no point in getting mad over this. If she wanted to take care of Elijah, then he'd let her have her way. As for her taking Elijah away from Jindale City, that was his call to make!
