Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 697

Elysia massaged her temples, feeling a secondhand embarrassment for him.

Luckily, his efficiency saved the day. The delivery arrived swiftly, brimming with bite-sized delights: mini quiches, shrimp dumplings, mini donuts, along with burgers and sandwiches, not to forget the soy milk and a variety of hearty oatmeals.

A feast to cater to the varied tastes of the little ones.

Elysia called out for the kids to wash up for breakfast, and the little rascals bolted from the playroom. They scurried to the dining table, eyes scanning for their breakfast before racing off to wash their hands.

Tarquin set aside the delivery, placing his homemade dishes in front of Elysia. “Eat this,” he suggested.

“Why’s that?”

“It’s made by me, not some other guy,” Tarquin said, knowing well that the chefs at Jinpeach Restaurant were all men.

Elysia rolled her eyes. Was this really the time for a competition?

Before she could retort, the children dashed back, settling into their seats.

“Mommy, I want the burger!”

“Mommy, can I have the dumplings?”

“Mommy, I want the shrimp dumplings!”

“Mommy, I want to drink the oatmeal.”

The four of them chirped like little birds eager for feeding, turning into tiny tigers once the food was served, devouring their meal with gusto.

Thanks to their super dad, they were famished.

“Take it easy, don’t rush your food, Evan. Chew properly before swallowing.”

Evan, the athlete of the family, always ate as if there was no tomorrow, especially when he was starving.

After ensuring the kids were fine, Elysia finally sat down to her meal.

She was flanked by Emmett to her left and Evan to her right, with Elijah and Elliot nearby, leaving Tarquin at a distance.

He eyed the kids, feeling a tad resentful for the first time.

It seemed to him that these four were hindering his romance with Elysia!
