Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 639

Axel's response was blunt, "No news at all."

Tarquin's heart skipped a beat!

Just after getting into the car, he frowned and asked, "No leads on a little girl resembling Elijah?"

"Yeah, I've gone through all the girls Elijah's age in Jindale City, not a single suspicious one!"

Axel then added, "Could the info about the daughter be a red herring by the mystery person to throw you off?"

Tarquin lit a cigarette, taking a deep drag. The tension around him was palpable; even the air in the car seemed to drop.

Lowell was sitting in the driver's seat, glancing at Tarquin through the rearview mirror, not daring to make a sound.

After a brief silence, Tarquin spoke again, "Keep looking. If she's not in Jindale City, then expand the search nationwide!"

He wasn't sure if this daughter actually existed. But what if she did? What if he really had a daughter out there? He couldn't give up on finding her!

After hanging up, Tarquin lit another cigarette. The only small comfort he had was that if this daughter did exist and was indeed with the mystery person, she was probably not in danger for now. The mystery person seemed to care about this daughter.

Lowell, unaware of this development, had been focusing on the company lately. Turning his head, he cautiously suggested, "Tarquin, maybe you should head to the office. It's chaos over there; the executives are losing their minds."

After the holiday, there was a backlog of work and many projects needed Tarquin's approval to proceed. But Tarquin had been staying at the hospital with Elijah and Elysia since the holiday, and hadn't been to the office, driving the executives to the brink of madness!
