Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 901

The next day, before dawn even cracked the sky, Elysia Thorne was already out of bed. She had plans to see Baby today and wanted to bring some breakfast along for the visit. The moment she stirred, Tarquin Bradford was up as well, keeping her company as they both got ready for the day, joining her in the kitchen to help prepare the meal.

He even went as far as making pancakes from scratch, saying, “Baby has to try these. If she likes them, I'll make them whenever she wants. Just say the word."

Elysia mentioned, “We probably won't be back until late. Are you going to come by today?”

“It depends on how work goes. If I can wrap up early, I'll come over. If it gets too late, I won't make it. I'll have the driver pick you guys up.”

Today, the whole family was planning to visit Baby, but Tarquin couldn’t make it because of an urgent business matter.

At seven in the morning, Elysia, along with their four kids, set off to Keith Garcia's place.

Elliot, though unsure of Tarquin's exact plans, was certain it wasn’t just work keeping him away today. Tarquin didn’t elaborate, and Elliot didn’t pry too much. However, before leaving, he reassured Tarquin,

“You focus on what you need to, we’ll take good care of Mom. Don’t worry about us.”

Tarquin, touched, ruffled Elliot's hair, “Off you go, have fun.”

After the family of five embarked on their day, Tarquin too headed out to the office.

Lowell, driving, reassured him, “With Evan there, you don’t have to worry about their safety. Plus, you’ve arranged for plenty of security to watch over them discreetly.”

Tarquin, frowning slightly, lit a cigarette but didn’t find it as satisfying as he used to. Lately, his urge to smoke had diminished. He couldn’t smoke around Elysia or the kids, and it seemed he was nearly quitting.
