Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 669

Wasn't she into him?

Yet, she blatantly ignored his wishes, constantly mingling with Keith, their bond seemingly deeper than what she shared with him!

Did she harbor feelings for Keith as well?

The more Tarquin mulled over it, the more unsettling his emotions became, fueled further by the alcohol coursing through his veins, morphing into resentment.

Gritting his teeth in frustration, he grabbed the glass Elysia had just set down and downed its contents in one go.

Then, in a swift motion that left no room for Elysia to react, he stood up, cupped her face in his hands, and kissed her.

The act was so sudden, it caught everyone off guard, shocking them that he'd dare to kiss Elysia in such a public setting!

Elysia, taken aback, blushed furiously, her heart pounding in her chest.

She was shy, not one to engage in public displays of affection, and she struggled to break free.

But Tarquin, seemingly out of control and oblivious to everyone around, had eyes only for Elysia, as if they were the only two in the room.

He tried to deepen the kiss, but Elysia bit his tongue in resistance!

Pain shot through Tarquin, making him release her.

Breathing heavily, Elysia was a mix of flustered and furious.

Tarquin frowned, looking straight at her, "Tell me the truth, do you like Keith?!"

Elysia was stunned at first, then her anger flared up. How many times did she have to explain herself?

Why wouldn't he believe her?

Not wanting to argue in front of everyone, she pushed his hands away and turned to leave.

Tarquin pulled her back into his embrace, determined not to let her go.

His stern gaze bore into her, his eyes screaming 'we need to settle this today.'

With her face tight with frustration and anger, she glared back at him, her eyes brimming with grievance and fury.

He kept questioning her, refusing to trust her.

Making a scene and even kissing her in front of everyone, he showed her no respect.
