Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 627

"Sort of, but not exactly."

Elysia frowned, confusion lacing her voice. "What do you mean 'sort of, but not exactly'?"

Tarquin didn't elaborate, his tone serious. "Let's move."

"Excuse me?"

"I've got a friend who's got a vacation home sitting empty. You and the kids can move in there. No rent, and it's a comfortable place."

He quickly added, hoping to ease any worries Elysia might have, "You and the kids would move. I wouldn't be coming."

Elysia was speechless.

Tarquin continued, "There's a great preschool nearby, too. I can help with transferring the kids."

"Transfer schools?!"

"Yeah, it's a better school than the one around here. And don't worry about the paperwork or tuition fees."

Elysia frowned, "No way!"

Staying in his friend’s house felt too close for comfort, almost as if they were living under his roof. It would make it too easy for their secret to be exposed.

They were getting along fine now, but who's to say he wouldn't change his tune and fight her for custody if he found out about the triplets?

She couldn’t take that risk.

Not unless he and she...

Tarquin was puzzled. "Why not?"

Elysia struggled to find an excuse. "Personal reasons I'd rather not discuss. But I'm definitely not moving or transferring the kids."

Seeing her resolve, Tarquin's brows knitted tighter together.

Before he could say anything, Elysia quickly added, "This has nothing to do with Keith. Don't jump to conclusions."
