Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1528

The people he cared about… deeply cared about…

He could count them on one hand. Excluding Elysia and the children, who came into his life later, and his parents, who were long gone, and Lowell and Great-Uncle Keaton… that only left *him*.

But that made no sense. He suspected that *he* was the mysterious figure. He couldn't use himself as a threat against him.

But besides him, who else could it be?

Tarquin couldn’t think. His mind was buzzing, unable to think clearly. After watching the video his parents left, he was suffocated with anger and grief. A lump was caught in his throat, choking him, making him feel unbearably sick. And now, this call from the mysterious figure had made him even more agitated. His hatred for the man had reached its peak. He wished he could teleport to his side and end this once and for all.

But thinking of the bigger picture, he could only endure.

Tarquin closed his eyes, picturing Elysia and the children. As their faces appeared in his mind, his chaotic emotions finally began to settle…

It was just after two in the morning when Tarquin arrived at the Hawkins family home in Oceanopolis. Clayton Hawkins, hearing the news, quickly got out of bed and came out with a jacket thrown over his shoulders.

Seeing it was really Tarquin, Clayton was surprised. “Tarquin, what a surprise! Elysia didn’t mention you were coming.”

Tarquin managed a small smile. “It was a last-minute decision. I didn’t want to wake you all, so I didn’t call ahead.”

“Is everything taken care of over there?”

“Yes.”

“Are you hungry?” Clayton asked immediately. “I can go make you a late-night snack.”

“I’m not hungry, Dad, please don’t go to any trouble,” Tarquin declined. “Are Elysia and the kids asleep upstairs?”

“Yes, they all went to bed early.”

“Then I’ll go up to see Elysia. You should get back to bed. We can talk more tomorrow.”

“Alright, alright. You go on up and get some rest. If you get hungry later, just come downstairs. The kitchen is always ready to whip something up.”
