Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 664

Keith stood in the living room, a frown creasing his brow as he watched her. Yet, she didn't even glance his way, as if she had completely forgotten he was there... and that she and Tarquin were in the midst of a silent battle.

Brimming with excitement, she ran to the door, quickly adjusting her clothes and hair, taking several deep breaths before finally opening the door. Her cheeks flushed, she stuttered at Tarquin, "Why, why are you here without telling me first?"

At that moment, Tarquin was seething, too furious to utter a word! He didn't respond to her, just shot her a glance before immediately looking towards Keith, his gaze as sharp as a dagger, filled with menacing intent.

Elysia noticed this and, afraid he might act impulsively and start a fight, quickly stepped outside, "Let's talk." As she went out, she also closed the door behind her.

Keith's gaze lingered, witnessing all the demure gestures Elysia displayed upon seeing her beau; it was clear as day to him. He was certain, Elysia had truly fallen for Tarquin! Keith's frown deepened, a layer of frost seeming to cover his eyes...

Outside, Elysia and Tarquin stood face to face. Before he could ask, Elysia began explaining today's incident, "This morning, the gas was cut off in our area, and Keith came over to check on my situation. Just then, my bathroom's water pipe burst, and Keith came in to help fix it... That's why he was at my place."
