Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 903

Keith tossed and turned all night, a storm of unease brewing inside him as he stayed by Baby's side, sleep far from his reach.

Similarly, Tarquin was up all night. After tucking Elysia into bed, he retreated to his study, immersing himself in work until dawn.

As the first light of daybreak filtered through the curtains, Elysia's eyes fluttered open to a surprising sight—a massive bouquet of flowers. Wait, not flowers—money!

Blinking in disbelief, she rubbed her eyes and looked again. Yes, it was money. A whole lot of it.

Her eyes widened in shock, "What?!"

There, in his casual deep blue sweater, stood Tarquin, a playful smile on his face, one hand in his pocket, the other holding the unusual bouquet.

"This is for you," he said, presenting the bouquet made entirely of hundred-dollar bills, "Happy Children's Day."

Elysia blinked, "For me? But... I'm not a child. Why would I celebrate Children's Day?"

"Why not?" Tarquin teased, pushing the bouquet closer. "Do you like it? I made it myself."

Despite its tackiness, Elysia's heart raced with excitement. This was far better than 999 real roses. She took the bouquet, the unique scent of money enveloping her senses.
