Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 609

Tarquin's suspicion deepened as he witnessed the reactions of Elliot, Evan, Emmett, and Elysia upon seeing the man - shock and panic, but no hostility. This indicated the man wasn't an enemy.

If not an enemy, then what stirred such a reaction within them?

There had to be something between Elysia and that man!

Tarquin furrowed his brows, pressing for answers, "What exactly are you so nervous about?"

Elysia, catching her breath with her long lashes fluttering, attempted a lie with wide eyes, “Me, nervous? Not at all!”

With a skeptical frown, Tarquin pushed, “It’s written all over your face. What is your relationship with him?”

“He... He’s Elliot, Evan, and Emmett’s gym teacher, Keith.”

Keith? The kindergarten…

Tarquin’s concern deepened, “He’s Keith?”

“Yes, do you know him?”

Tarquin's frown deepened. Keith was the new homeowner across the street, the one Lowell had unsuccessfully tried to persuade into selling his house despite offering a price many times its worth.

So, that's why Lowell couldn’t seal the deal with Keith - it was all connected to Elysia!

But what sort of relationship could cause such a stir at the mere sight of him?

And Keith, upon seeing him and Elijah, seemed just as taken aback.

“You know him well?”

Elysia shook her head instantly, “Not really, I’ve only seen him once before. Today was the second time.”

Tarquin half-doubted her words, “Just the second time and yet, you, Elliot, Evan, and Emmett react like this?”

“We… What reaction? We’re just nervous seeing the teacher!”
