Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 620

Elysia glared at him, her patience wearing thin. "What on earth is your problem?" she demanded, her voice rising in frustration.

Wasn't she just asking a simple question? How did that make it her fault?

Even if he was mad at Keith, why take it out on her?

Why did he have such a big issue with her anyway?

Tarquin's chest heaved with anger. What was he so mad about?

Mad at the comment Keith made.

Mad that she seemed to care about Keith.

Mad that he couldn't express his feelings for her without blowing his cover, leaving him to swallow his pride in silence.

And mad that she didn't just blindly take his side but kept asking questions to figure out who was in the right between him and Keith.

Keith was right about one thing: she didn’t like him. If she did, she would’ve sided with him no questions asked!

He knew she didn’t have feelings for him, and yet, here he was, fuming over it, about to explode with rage!

In a fit of anger, he blurted out, "You need to cut Keith off completely. If I catch you talking to him again, I’m taking Elijah with me today!"

That comment hit Elysia like a ton of bricks, and she lost it.

"Are you out of your mind?!" she exploded. "Your beef with Keith has nothing to do with me! I was just trying to show some concern for you, and you lash out at me?! What did I ever do to you?!

And now you want to take Elijah away from me? We had an agreement that you'd only take him after you've caught the culprit and he's fully recovered, but now you... you’re going back on your word! You're being unreasonable!"

Tears welled up in Elysia’s eyes as she spoke, and without another word, she turned and stormed home.

Tarquin's heart softened instantly. He hurried after her, calling out, "Elysia."

"Don't talk to me!" Elysia snapped, shrugging off his hand and pushing through the front door.
