Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 740

Tarquin groaned, "Just ignore it, no need to pick up!"

"But what if it's something urgent?" came the retort.

Elysia slid the answer button, "Hello?"

Keaton's voice was polite but urgent, "Hey, Elysia, is Tarin with you? I need to speak to him urgently."

Elysia glanced at Tarquin.

With no choice, Tarquin, still holding Elysia close with one arm, took the phone and grumbled, "What?"

Keaton rattled off his concerns, clearly agitated.

Tarquin replied nonchalantly, "I've got four big boys!"

"Yeah, I know, but I'm talking about—"

"I've got four big boys!"

"Damn it, I know, but—"

"I've got four big boys!"

No matter what Keaton said or how passionately he argued, Tarquin stuck to his line.

Finally, Keaton cursed under his breath and hung up.

Handing the phone back to Elysia, Tarquin wore a smug grin, "He's just jealous."

Elysia was at a loss. Whether Keaton was jealous or not, she couldn't tell; all she saw was Tarquin's self-satisfaction.

Pocketing her phone, she wrapped her arms around his neck and teased, "Don't get too cocky. Suddenly having four sons means your responsibilities have quadrupled! You used to only provide for Elijah, and now there are four, which means your stress and expenses have skyrocketed!

Four little money pits, think about the monthly costs! And they're still young. In the future, they'll need college, weddings, we'll have to save for their houses and cars..."

Tarquin listened quietly, debating whether to reveal his true identity to her.

After all, the concerns she voiced were no issue for him!

Not just four, he could support eight or more.

And those kids are talented; they don't need his financial support.

"Elysia."
