Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 628

Keith's words were downright disrespectful to Elysia!

How can you truly like someone and not show them respect?

So, Tarquin also doubted Keith's feelings for Elysia.

But...

If Keith didn't like her at all, why would he go out of his way to buy the house right across from Blossom's? And why create drama today of all days?

His interest in Elysia surely wasn't because he liked her or wanted to pursue her. There had to be another reason!

What could that reason be?

Was he here for Elysia or for some other ulterior motive?

Elysia was clueless about what Tarquin was pondering. She went on to say,

"Regardless, I don't think Keith likes me. I'm not planning on moving or changing the kids' school, but I'll keep your words in mind and remind the kids to keep their distance from Keith as much as possible."

Hearing this, Tarquin snapped out of his thoughts, his brows furrowing tightly.

He could have forced her to move or change schools, but the thought of how she'd react held him back.

He didn't want to upset her.

So, he compromised,

"If you really don't want to move, I won't force you. But you have to promise to stay away from him. Otherwise, I'll worry about your and Elijah's safety so much that I might just force you to move!"

"...I promise, I'll try my best."

For her, Keith was just a stranger she had met once. Keeping or not keeping in touch didn't matter much.

Their conversation went smoothly, the only thing bothering Elysia was that she still couldn't figure out what Tarquin felt for her.

They continued walking down the track, oblivious to the eyes watching them from above.

By now, Blossom and Keith had both returned.

Keith stood by the window, watching the two walk side by side. Although he couldn't make out their expressions, he knew it was Elysia and Tarquin.

His eyes narrowed, his expression unreadable, leaving one to wonder what was on his mind.
