Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 605

The name was unfamiliar to him.

Tarquin's voice was icy, "Why doesn't he want to sell at a high price? Did he give a reason?"

"He says the Future Community is close to his work, which is convenient for him."

"Are there no other listings available in the community?"

"As luck would have it, there's nothing available lately. The listings that were up before the holidays got snapped up fast after that stunt double's suicide. It really brought down the property values in Future Community, and the listings sold like hotcakes."

Lowell added, "But if you're willing to consider other buildings, we might have something to talk about."

After all, those who bought at a low price generally wouldn't refuse to sell at a high price.

Keith was an exception.

Tarquin frowned. Living in another building was out of the question; he was moving there for Elijah and Elysia. Why would he live anywhere else?

The other buildings were too far from them. Living right across from them was ideal!

"Did you meet with this Keith face-to-face?"

"No, he's not in Jindale City right now. Probably won't be back until after the 15th, when the preschool starts."

Tarquin pondered for a moment, "Look into his background."

After all, with Elysia and the three kids living there, and Elijah planning to move in, it was essential to check out anyone who seemed out of the ordinary living across the door.

He had just ended the call and returned to the hospital room when Keaton suddenly appeared.

The ladies' man arrived with an armful of roses and the latest limited edition LEGO sets in hand.

There were four LEGO sets—one for Elijah and the others for Elliot, Evan, and Emmett.

The kids were thrilled, thanking him repeatedly.

Elysia was happy with the roses, and although she was polite and somewhat distant with Keaton, she greeted him with a smile and gentle warmth.
