Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1473

“Luckily, fate was on my side. Even though it made me suffer the pains of love, you didn't get scared away.”

Hearing this, a phrase suddenly popped into Elysia’s head: Love is the great equalizer; rich or poor, everyone has to suffer its trials.

She smiled teasingly. “What do you mean, ‘young and reckless’? You were already thirty!”

Tarquin shot back without missing a beat, “A man at thirty is in his prime.”

“Oh, really? So should I start calling you Mr. Prime Time, then?”

Keaton suddenly appeared at the top of the stairs. He was wearing black trousers and a striking peacock-blue shirt, a sly grin on his face and a twinkle in his charming eyes. Thanks to Winona, his stylish, medium-length hair had been chopped into a ridiculous, messy crop, but he was still as dashing and handsome as ever.

Elysia instinctively thought of his infamous ‘alpaca hairstyle’ while marveling to herself: They say hairstyle makes or breaks your look, but truly handsome people look good no matter what. Setting aside Keaton’s playboy ways, his looks were flawless. You’d be hard-pressed to find anyone in all of Jindale City who could top him.

Tarquin shot Keaton a look. “Is everyone here?”

“They’ve been here for ages, just waiting for you two. Elysia, you look beautiful tonight.”

Before Elysia could respond, Tarquin cut in, “Get lost! And get your eyes off my wife!”

Keaton made a ‘tsk-tsk’ sound. “See, Elysia? He’s so possessive. You’re the boss in this relationship, you should just rename him Tarquin the Jealous.”

Tarquin retorted, “Then should we start calling you Keaton the Playboy?”

“Keaton the Adonis would suit me better.”

Elysia was speechless. One called ‘Prime Time’, the other ‘Playboy’. They sounded like a matched set. It suited them both!
