Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 625

Tarquin retorted, "Weren't you just asking me out?"

It took Elysia a moment to realize what he was implying, and when she did, she felt a mix of embarrassment and irritation. "Call that a date? I was merely suggesting we take a walk downstairs!"

She was worried that Keith might return unexpectedly, leading to a possible altercation between him and Tarquin in the hallway.

So, she thought it would be better to invite him for a walk outside to discuss things properly.

And here he was, making it about a date. Was his head filled with air or what?

Tarquin's handsome eyes narrowed slightly, "Feeling disappointed?"

"I...," she started.

"Next time, I'll be the one to ask you out."

Elysia's face turned a shade redder, "Who's disappointed? Stop talking nonsense! Even if you asked, I wouldn't be free! Let's go!"

With that, she spun on her heels towards the elevator, her steps slightly hurried.

A charming smile crept across Tarquin's lips; she seemed shy.

Why would she feel shy around him unless she harbored some feelings for him, perhaps unknowingly?

Tarquin felt a surge of pleasure at the thought. After all, he considered himself pretty experienced in these matters.

He cheerfully caught up with her, his long strides closing the distance. "Even a walk downstairs counts as a date."

"Get lost!"

Elysia snapped at him before stepping into the elevator.

Tarquin followed suit, his gaze fixed on her with an amused smile.

Elysia frowned, avoiding his look, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts.

Keith had provoked him, testing whether Tarquin had feelings for her, which led to a fight. Why did he hit Keith? Was it because he was irritated by the misunderstanding, or was it out of jealousy?

If it was the former, it meant Tarquin had no interest in her whatsoever. But if it was the latter, it hinted at something more, especially considering the baffling things he'd said in anger previously...

Elysia was leaning towards the latter option.
