Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1866

But the glaring issue was the man standing beside her: Jae-hyun Kim!

Elysia hesitated for a moment, but out of respect for Booker, she finally answered the call. "Hello."

Diane was incredibly sweet, wishing her an early Happy New Year.

Elysia politely responded, "Thank you. Happy New Year to you, too."

Diane cheerfully said:

"I sent over some food for you guys. My boyfriend specifically made it for everyone as a thank you for all the support. If it weren't for everyone's help, he never would have been able to establish himself here in Jindale City."

At the mere mention of Jae-hyun Kim, Elysia's frown deepened. She was deeply repulsed by him on an instinctual level!

Elysia was just about to politely decline when Diane spoke up again:

"Elysia, something urgent came up so I have to hang up now. The food has already been dropped off at the front gate of your community, so don't forget to grab it!"

Tarquin saw her frowning and asked, "What's wrong?"

Elysia explained, "Booker's cousin just called to say she dropped off some food that Jae-hyun made for us. She said it was to thank us for looking after him, but we haven't even done anything for him."

Noticing her uneasy demeanor, Tarquin asked, "You really dislike him, don't you?"

Elysia answered honestly,

"I think there's something off about him. I don't know why, but Winona and I both feel unsettled the moment we see him. I really just don't want to engage with him."

Tarquin decisively said, "Then we won't. I'll call security and have them dispose of it."

Elysia thought about it and nodded. Even though it felt a little rude, she truly didn't want any connection with him.

It was the holidays, and she didn't want anything ruining her mood.

Tarquin gently patted the top of her head.

"Don't think about it anymore. Go get ready, we're eating soon. I'll make the call."

Elysia nodded and went to help carry the dishes to the table.
