Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 780

"Absolutely! After all, the Bradfords didn't choose you for your family's status or wealth, but for your unique personality – that's your ace in the hole! If our plan works out, you won't just be Mrs. Bradford by chance, you'll be Mrs. Bradford by destiny!"

The mother-daughter duo was ecstatic, buzzing with excitement as if Daphne had already secured her title as Mrs. Bradford.

"So tomorrow, we do it..."

The Thornes and the Bradfords, seemingly allies tied by common interests, were in fact each plotting their own schemes!

Both families were eagerly anticipating tomorrow's lavish gala, each for their own ulterior motives!

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

Elysia and Tarquin were also wide awake, not with anticipation for the gala, but for what tomorrow held.

They were looking forward to their appointment at the city hall, to divorce!

Early the next morning, just after five, Elysia was already on the phone to the County Clerk's Office.

She feared Tarquin might have a change of heart about the divorce, so she wanted to confirm their appointment one more time.

But before she could dial out, the County Clerk's Office called her first.

Tarquin shared her concerns, worried something might go wrong on her end!

After confirming their plans once more, they both felt relieved.

Tarquin couldn't resist messaging Elysia, "I miss you, Elysia."

Just one night apart, and he missed her.

Elysia, phone in hand, saw his message and couldn't help but smile, calling him back immediately.

Tarquin picked up instantly, "You're up early?"

"Yeah, why are you awake so soon?"

"Got some errands to run."

"I heard from the caretaker that you left early last night. Haven't finished what you needed to do?"

"Almost, I should be done by noon. Then I'll come see you."
