Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 741

Elysia let out a sigh, "Alright, pull yourself together. We've got to see the kids."

The mere thought of his children filled Tarquin with a blend of pride and joy. His incredibly smart and talented son was his own flesh and blood!

Yet, he was also nervous, considering he had hurt their precious mom in the past.

After all, he had never truly fulfilled his duties as a father over the years.

Elliot, with his sharp intellect, must have figured out long ago that he was his father. Yet, their lack of initiative to acknowledge this bond clearly showed how much the kids harbored against him.

"Are you worried the kids won't like you?" Elysia saw right through him.

Tarquin fretted, "I'm not a qualified father."

Elysia cupped his face and planted a kiss,

"I can assure you they don't hate you. It was actually their idea for me to come clean to you today. If they despised you, they wouldn't want me to be with you, let alone encourage me to open up.

Don’t dwell on their current attitude towards you. Kids are simple-minded; they gravitate towards those who treat them well. As long as you truly love them, they’ll eventually reciprocate that love, just like how I love you."

Tarquin was moved. It was him who had erred and her who had been hurt, yet she was the one comforting him.

In her presence, he felt like a fragile soul.

Her warmth, optimism, tolerance, and her entire being were simply enchanting.

The kids were lucky to have her as a mother.

And he, Tarquin, was lucky to have crossed paths with her.

He gently brushed her hair behind her ear, looking deeply into her eyes,

"Elysia, meeting you is the blessing of my lifetime."

For the rest of my days, I shall cherish this serendipity!

You were, you are, and you will always be the one for me!

Only you!

My life, my heart, my all, belong to you, Elysia!

...

By the time they arrived at the hospital, it was already noon.

Blossom had brought lunch over and was keeping the kids company in the ward.

After greeting the kids, Elysia took Blossom outside, leaving Tarquin alone with them.

Outside the room, Blossom whispered, "I heard from Evan that you came clean today?"
