Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 692

Was it Elliot pulling strings behind the scenes, or was that guy just too good at covering his tracks? No clue!

So, he figured he'd hit up Blossom for a chat.

Blossom was Elysia's bestie, she had to know.

But when he asked, Blossom just shook her head, "I'm in the dark too."

Tarquin was taken aback, "You don't know?"

"Yeah, totally clueless. Elysia and her hubby eloped, didn't even invite us to the wedding. We've got no idea who her man is. She clams up every time we ask."

Tarquin frowned, "Why the secrecy?"

"No idea, but I get the vibe there's not much love there. They're still hitched, but it's pretty much loveless!"

Tarquin puzzled, even in a secret marriage, a bestie should be in the loop. Why wouldn't Elysia tell even Blossom?

"Just so you know, since Elysia did spill the beans, I hope you won’t hold the not-divorced-yet thing against her."

Tarquin snapped back to reality, "Don't worry, I won't."

Seeing he wasn't getting anywhere with Blossom, Tarquin said,

"I've got some personal stuff to sort out. I'll get someone to drop you at your folks'."

Blossom immediately declined, "No need, I can drive myself, I..."

But when she saw Axel appear by the car window, her surprise quickly turned into agreement,

"You're right, it's late, and it's not safe for a girl to drive home alone. Thanks, handsome, what's your name?"

Axel gave her a cold glance and didn't respond, signaling her to get off. He headed to his car.

Blossom wasn't offended and followed him, still curious she asked Tarquin,

"What's his name?"

"Axel."
