Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 766

It was just after six in the evening when Elysia, having freshened up and steeled herself emotionally, and Tarquin made their way back to the hospital to be with their son.

No sooner had they stepped out of the hotel's grand entrance than they were confronted by the Thorne family!

Somehow, the Thornes had gotten wind of their whereabouts and had descended on the hotel in force.

Not only had the immediate family shown up, but they had also brought along a dozen menacing-looking brutes with them!

Upon seeing Elysia, Blake and Juliet Thorne displayed none of the surprise or joy one might expect from parents seeing their daughter after six years. Instead, their eyes widened in astonishment at the sight of Tarquin, whose striking looks and noble demeanor clearly set him apart from the ordinary.

Unfamiliar with Tarquin and emboldened by their numbers, the Thorne family didn't take him seriously.

"So, who's this? Your new boyfriend?" they sneered at Elysia.

Elysia, who had just managed to compose herself, felt her emotions crumbling at the sight of Blake and Juliet. After all, they had once been a significant part of her life, the people she had loved and called mom and dad.

Tarquin, sensing the tension, narrowed his eyes at the Thornes, gripping Elysia's hand tightly for support.

"It's none of your business!" Elysia snapped, her brow furrowed.

The Thornes bristled at her defiance.

Juliet scowled, but before she could retort, Blake erupted, "Insolent girl! Is that any way to speak to your parents?!"

Elysia had once been as meek as a kitten around them, taking any abuse without a word. But now, she dared to talk back!
