Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1868

If even Elijah couldn't dig anything up, there were only two possibilities:

Either this guy was incredibly meticulous and left no digital footprint of his flaws.

Or he genuinely had no hidden agenda and simply liked Elysia.

Seeing the heavy expressions on Elliot and Elijah's faces, Tarquin gently ruffled their hair.

"Stop worrying about it. It's the holidays, so cheer up. If your Mommy sees you looking like this, she'll definitely get anxious."

The two boys simultaneously let out long breaths, readjusting their demeanors.

"We're gonna go play, then."

"Go on. It's almost time for the New Year's Eve dinner."

After sending the kids off, Tarquin stood in thoughtful silence for a moment before making a call. He ordered someone to return the cake directly to Jae-hyun.

He included a very simple, blunt message:

[Stay away from my wife!]

"Tarquin, come downstairs, it's time to eat!" Elysia called out.

Tarquin immediately put his phone away, temporarily shoving all thoughts of Jae-hyun Kim and Zane Livingston to the back of his mind.

"Coming."

The dining table on the first floor was overflowing with an array of mouthwatering dishes.

The meal had been prepared collectively by the family. While it might not have looked as visually flawless as a Michelin-star restaurant spread, it carried the irreplaceable warmth of home.

The family of nine sat together, spanning multiple generations, a picture of perfect bliss.

They raised their glasses to celebrate, exchanging heartfelt blessings, every single face radiant with a genuine, joyous smile.

The New Year's Eve dinner was one of their culture's most deeply cherished traditions.

It symbolized unity, happiness, good fortune, and prosperity.

It represented bidding farewell to the old, letting go of the past, and embracing the promise of the future.

Every delicious bite on the table was a fond goodbye to the year behind them, and a hopeful blessing for the year ahead.

Once the feast was over, it was time for the fireworks.

This year, fireworks were banned in Jindale City. However, not wanting to ruin the festive mood, the city officials had designated specific areas where professionals would set them off for the public to enjoy.

The fireworks display was exclusively sponsored by the Huber family. Rumor had it that the pyrotechnics alone cost a staggering hundred million!
