Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 907

At 8:20 in the morning, a family of six arrived at Keith's suburban home.

Keith, having received a heads-up call, was already at the door holding his daughter, Baby, in anticipation.

Upon spotting Tarquin stepping out of the car, Keith's brows furrowed, his grip tightening around Baby instinctively.

He was reluctant to let Baby interact with Tarquin!

However, Baby was visibly thrilled to see Tarquin, greeting him with a sweet, "Mr. Handsome!"

Tarquin responded with a smile, "Hey there, Baby."

As he approached Baby and Keith, intending to hold Baby, Keith didn't loosen his grip. Instead, he handed Baby over to Elysia, who was a step behind, instructing Baby,

"Be good, listen to Mommy, okay?"

"Okay, Daddy!"

Keith affectionately caressed Baby's cheek,

"If Mommy's too busy to pick you up tonight, just call Daddy, I'll come get you."

"Okay!"

Then he turned to Elysia, "Thanks for taking care of Baby today."

Elysia, looking tenderly at Baby, said,

"Baby's mine to look after, it's no trouble at all."

The four siblings were pressing their faces against the car window, shouting, "Sis, come on, we've got presents for you."

Baby, excited, started kicking her legs and calling out, "Brother, brother!"

Elysia, with polite formality, said to Keith, "We should get going."

Keith nodded, his gaze lingering on Baby, "Goodbye, Baby, have fun."

"Bye, Daddy." Baby waved at Keith with a small hand.

As Elysia carried Baby to the car, Tarquin turned to follow but was abruptly stopped by Keith's grip.
