Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 753

But right now, Evan couldn't defend himself because he was still feeling guilty about hanging out with the Bradfords last night.

All he could do was pout a little in agreement and quickly scampered back to his guest room after greeting Elysia.

Evan was so focused on giving the Bradfords a taste of their own medicine that he completely forgot to mention anything about mistresses or illegitimate children.

Elysia, curious, asked, "Evan's always had quite the opinion about you. What did you say to him that made him change his mind?"

Tarquin, with a smile, replied, "I just told him how much I love you, and Evan, touched by it, changed his stance."

Elysia: "..."

Tarquin, with adoring affection, pinched her cheek and took her hand, leading her to the dining room for breakfast.

He was in such a good mood, almost eager to spoon-feed Elysia, showering her with love.

The more he did this, the more Elysia blushed with embarrassment, almost wishing she could disappear.

But since she couldn't actually vanish, all she could do was glare at him whenever he insisted on feeding her...

...

...

The Bradfords had been causing a ruckus all night. After failing to find the culprit, they directed their anger toward Elysia.

Without any evidence, they accused Elysia of being behind everything!

They even rationalized their accusation, claiming that although Tarquin had the means, such pranks weren't his style.

If Tarquin were to act, at the very least, it would result in severe injuries lasting days!

But the incidents from last night didn't cause any physical harm, only deep disgust and fright!

Clearly, it was a high-level prank!

They believed that with Tarquin's support and her grievances against the Bradfords, Elysia had a clear motive!

This only made them loathe Elysia even more, itching for revenge!

They were even more desperate to find Daphne Thorne, hoping to use Daphne's status as the rightful wife to deal with Elysia properly!

To the Bradfords' disappointment, Gideon's efforts to locate her overnight were futile!

Neighbors mentioned that the Thornes had moved away years ago.

The Bradfords, frustrated and furious, issued a strict command to find Daphne at all costs.

They wanted to get rid of Elysia but were wary of Tarquin, so they pinned all their hopes on finding Daphne.

Elysia was oblivious to all of this, let alone their frantic search for Daphne.
