Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 601

Tarquin caught Elysia's innocent, curious gaze and his lips twitched, but he offered no explanation.

"You should rest. I'm heading out."

With that, he turned and left.

Elysia was a bit taken aback. That's it? He's just leaving? She thought he would have more to say.

Just as she was about to get out of bed to check, Tarquin suddenly reappeared at the doorway. The cool, handsome features of his face were touched with a hint of melancholy.

"I've made sure your windows are locked. Feel free to take a shower if you want, or just go straight to bed if you're not up for it. Don't worry about anyone else coming in. I'll be at the hospital tonight, just give me a call if you need anything."

After saying this, he furrowed his brows deeply, giving her another meaningful look before he left.

When Elysia came out to check, he was already gone.

Standing in the living room, she wondered to herself, was he upset about something? Why did it feel like he was so down just now? He didn't have to be friends with her if he didn't want to. It's not like she was forcing him. What was there to be upset about? She wasn't even upset about it herself!

Elysia couldn't fathom the real reason behind his dejection. Pouting slightly, she ran to the window to check. Sure enough, it was tightly shut.
