Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 610

Elysia had finally caught Tarquin's attention, urging him to let go. Her demeanor was reminiscent of a high school student sheepishly accepting a scolding from the principal, regardless of whether they agreed or not.

Tarquin was visibly upset. "Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, there won't be a third or fourth time! This is the second warning I've given you about biting your lip. Do it again, and you'll face the consequences!"

Elysia's eyelashes fluttered in defiance, but upon meeting his stern gaze, her courage faltered.

Pouting, she could only grumble to herself, "What's it to you if I bite my own lip? Got a bee in your bonnet or just salty because you live by the sea?"

Tarquin, as if reading her mind, pressed his lips together in disdain and chose not to engage further, simply stating, "You've got three seconds to rethink your stance, or I'm going straight to Keith for answers. Three, two, one..."

With that, he lifted her away from the doorway.

Elysia was taken aback, her heart racing, "Hey!"

But Tarquin was resolute, unmoved by any further delay. He was determined to seek answers from Keith directly.

Elysia rushed over, grabbing his arm, "Please, don't go!"

Tarquin glanced at her dismissively, "You've lost your say in this. I'm not interested in hearing more excuses. I'll ask Keith directly."

Despite her pleas, Tarquin coldly shrugged off her hand, his decision unchangeable.
