Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 904

Elysia's heart was racing. "What if... what if we lose money?"

Tarquin just chuckled, "Relax, with me here, we won't lose a penny."

Elysia pouted, looking at Tarquin with eyes that slowly filled with tears before she threw herself into his arms.

"How can you be so good to me?"

"Sweetheart, you're my wife. Isn't it normal for me to treat you well? If not you, who else should I treat this way?"

"But I... I'm just broke. I can't give you anything."

Tarquin affectionately stroked her hair, "You've given me so much more than you realize. You've given me beautiful, healthy kids, your love, a sense of family, happiness, and a warm home."

He kissed the top of her head, "You have no idea how important you are to me, Elysia. You deserve all my love and everything I can offer."

Elysia hugged Tarquin tightly, her face buried in his chest as she cried.

Moved beyond words.

Tarquin softly comforted her, "Don't cry. We have to pick up the baby soon. It's the kids' first Halloween together. We should make it fun and memorable, let them have a blast."

Elysia quickly wiped her tears, flustered, "Do you have any plans? I've been so preoccupied with the baby lately, I haven't even thought about how to make today special for the kids."

Lately, she had been out of sorts. It was only after Tarquin mentioned it that she realized today was Halloween.

After coming back from seeing the baby, she had wanted to discuss plans with Tarquin, but she fell asleep before they could talk.

She had gone to bed early because Tarquin had lit some lavender-scented candles to help her sleep.

Since finding out about the baby, she had been struggling with insomnia. Tarquin, feeling sorry for her, had used the scent to help her sleep.
