Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 694

As soon as Elysia entered her apartment, the phone on her nightstand buzzed with a new message.

She walked over to her bed and picked up the phone. [Elysia, are you asleep?]

At first, she thought it was Blossom messaging her, but upon closer inspection, it was him!

Her heart immediately started to race!

Even though she was no spring chicken anymore, well into her twenties and even had kids, this was her first dive into the dating pool. His flirty glances and endearments were enough to make her cheeks burn and her heart pound.

Elysia opened up WhatsApp to reply and realized he had already sent several messages.

[Elysia, what are you up to? Missing you.]

[Elysia, I’m missing you.]

[Babe, your boyfriend’s thinking of you.]

[Miss you so much.]

Leaning against her headboard with flushed cheeks, Elysia texted back, “Just went to check on the kids, just saw your message.”

The next second, Tarquin's call came through. Elysia answered, her heart thumping wildly, “Hey.”

“Elysia, I miss you like crazy!”

Her cheeks were on fire. “Why are you still up?”

“I can’t sleep. Missing you. And when you didn’t reply, I thought you didn’t want me anymore.”

Elysia was speechless. How could he be so sensitive? Not replying meant she didn’t want him?

“I agreed to be your girlfriend, didn’t I? Stop overthinking and go to sleep.”

Tarquin chuckled, “Then say you like me.”

Elysia hesitated.

“Come on, just once? I want to hear it.”

“Have you been drinking?” Elysia asked, noticing a hint of drunkenness in his voice.

“Yeah, had a bit to celebrate today.”

“Are you drunk?”
