Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 686

She and Tarquin weren't even officially divorced yet. If Tarquin found out about them, what if it hurt him?

No way, she had to get in touch with the Royal Community's office pronto and get that divorce from Tarquin sorted!

Seizing the moment while he was in the shower, Elysia sat up, grabbed her phone, and dialed the Royal Community,

"Hello, I need to know when Tarquin can meet me? I'm in urgent need to get a divorce! If he refuses to get back to me, I swear I'll camp out at his office!"

The person on the other end said they'd pass the message to Mr. Bradford and hung up promptly.

Elysia frowned, worried. Did Tarquin have some serious issue?

There was zero love between them, they hadn't even met face to face yet, so why on earth was he dragging his feet on the divorce?

After stewing in her frustration for a while, Elysia calmed herself down and called the kids.

Blossom was home today, and the kids were all fine. They told her not to worry and to take care of her business.

Hanging up the phone, Elysia let out a sigh of relief, but the thought of Tarquin reignited her frustration.

When Tarquin came back from cooling off, Elysia was still brooding over the divorce.

Seeing him, her heart raced, filled with guilt, "I..."

Tarquin, in his pajamas and with his hair still damp from the shower, tossed the towel aside and climbed into bed.

Elysia shivered, nervous.

Tarquin snuggled under the covers, pulling her into his embrace, "Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything, just want to hold you."

Elysia nestled in his arms, looking up at him, "You're not mad?"

"I can't bear to be mad at you."

Her heart fluttered at his response, and after a moment's thought, she sat up to face him seriously,

"We need to talk."

Seeing her seriousness, Tarquin sat up quickly, "As long as it's not about breaking up."

"I, I, I'm not divorced yet!"
