Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 981

"Man, it would be a relief if we could! Did you talk to the cops? When are we going to pick up Keith's body?"

"It's taken care of already."

"Taken care of?!" Elysia was startled.

"Yeah, the police called me this morning. I went down to the station, identified the body, and then came back."

"So, where is he now?"

"He's already been laid to rest at the cemetery."

Elysia's eyes widened further,

"Why didn't you call me?! I wanted to be there for his final journey. No matter what beef we had with him before, he died saving Baby. I'm grateful for that."

"I know, but it wasn't the right time to go. We'll visit together later."

Elysia sighed softly, a hint of regret in her voice but didn't pry further.

Tarquin must have had his reasons for arranging things this way.

"Is it that cemetery we looked at before?"

"Yeah."

"Well, let bygones be bygones. That cemetery is a beautiful place. I hope he finds peace there."

Tarquin said, "He will find peace."

With enemies getting their due and loved ones treated kindly, he surely will find peace.

Elysia took a deep breath and then asked, "Has Verity's son come back yet?"

At the mention of Verity, a flash of fierceness crossed Tarquin's eyes.

She was linked to his parents' deaths, a sinner, an enemy of his!

Tarquin hid his fierce look and calmly replied,

"Not yet. You don't need to worry about him. And, if Verity tries to contact you again, it's best to stay away. That woman is trouble."

Apart from his parents' death, he had a feeling that Verity was somehow connected to the mystery man!
