Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 638

Elysia was going on and on, venting her frustration, while Tarquin listened quietly, without showing any sign of annoyance.

"Whatever you say is right!"

After she finished, Tarquin took the initiative to apologize. "I wasn't thinking clearly, I've reflected on it, and I'm sorry."

His tone was so earnest that Elysia couldn't stay mad at him. She muttered, "Kids love ice cream. You only give it to them when they're so desperate they can’t be calmed down otherwise. You should never be the one to suggest it! Too much and they'll end up with a stomachache! And from now on, you can't just take the kids out without telling me. You have to let me know in advance."

"Got it! I'll remember!"

"Do you really remember?"

"Yeah, I've taken your words to heart."

Elysia's heart skipped a beat, her lips quivered, recalling Blossom's words, her heartbeat involuntarily quickening. "That thing..."

"What thing?"

"You know..."

Tarquin was puzzled.

Elysia, whose palms were now sweaty with nervousness, had lost her earlier bravado at the sight of him. After a considerable internal struggle, she finally asked, "Did you fight with Keith today because he provoked you?"

"He provoked me?"

"Yeah, Keith said he deliberately warned you to stay away from me or else he wouldn't be nice, and then you hit him."

Tarquin rolled his eyes in disdain, "You believed that?"

Elysia didn't directly respond, only saying, "I'm asking you."

"What if I said he was lying? Would you believe me?"
