Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 693

Everyone was in shock. "Who is it?! Is that Ms. Thorne?"

Tarquin, squinting his handsome eyes, flipped out a photo to show them, "My girlfriend, Elysia."

The photo was a selfie of him and Elysia, where she was sleeping with her eyes closed, looking completely at peace. He had sneaked up to her side and taken the photo with his phone.

It was obviously a candid shot.

Someone tried to grab the phone for a closer look, but Tarquin slapped his hand away.

"Just look, don't touch!"

He was being overly protective, clearly a bit of a jealous type.

The group didn't fuss over it, instead, they stared intently at his phone screen. Someone commented, “Your lady is quite the stunner!”

Tarquin beamed with pride, “An angel among us.”

Another added, “She looks so kind and gentle, the epitome of warmth!”

Tarquin, with a touch of haughtiness, replied, “The perfect wife material.”

Someone else observed, “She seems like she’s deeply loyal in love.”

Tarquin boasted, “She only has eyes for me.”

Then someone mentioned, “But with her looks, she must have a lot of men chasing after her!”

Tarquin’s smile turned into a chuckle of confidence, “In her eyes and heart, there’s only me. No other man stands a chance. I’m her one and only.”

Keaton, aware of the whole situation, couldn't help but tease him, “Man, you’re thirty and still get this excited over a relationship. That’s kinda sad!”

Tarquin shot him a cold look and scoffed, “Some people hop from one to another and still don’t know what true love is. That’s even sadder.”

Just as Keaton was about to retort, Tarquin cut in, “I have true love, and a kid!”

Keaton was left speechless, his lips pursed. He really couldn’t compete with that.

His own love life was all about flings, devoid of real love, let alone having a child. He couldn’t hold a candle to Tarquin.
