Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 691

Blossom waved at him before sliding into the backseat of the car, "What's so urgent that you had to see me this late?"

Tarquin had just texted her, asking to meet downstairs. Without answering her question, Tarquin asked, "Is Elysia asleep?"

"I left her tucking in the kids. Told her I'd be staying at my parents' tonight. I followed your advice and didn't mention you wanted to see me. She didn't suspect a thing."

"Solid! Are you in a hurry to get back? If not, how about I treat you to a drink?"

Blossom declined without hesitation, "It's not really appropriate for just the two of us. Maybe next time with Elysia. Plus, I'm really in a rush. My cousin's waiting for me at my folks'. Can you just tell me what's up?"

After a brief silence, Tarquin cracked a smile, "Elysia and I are dating."

Blossom was taken aback, "What?!"

A grin that Tarquin couldn't hide spread across his face, "She agreed to be my girlfriend."

Blossom's eyes widened, "For real?!"

"Yeah, but she insisted we keep it under wraps for now, can't let the kids know yet."

Blossom paused before responding, "No wonder Elysia seemed so guilty when she saw me. So, you two have been sneaking around, huh? Haha, you guys are truly meant to be. It's like fate tied you together – destined to be!"

Tarquin loved hearing that, "Keep the compliments coming."

Blossom immediately switched to 'blessing mode', showering them with well-wishes.

Tarquin, still smiling, had his suspicions about Blossom's possible connection to some mystery person, but he knew she had Elysia's best interests at heart.

"Thanks. I'll treat you to a celebratory drink when she's ready to make it official."

"Deal! So, this is what you wanted to talk about?"
