Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 57

There was no blood relation shown in this report.

Tarquin’s brow furrowed as he examined the DNA test results. He felt an odd mix of emotions though he had somewhat anticipated this outcome. If Elysia were truly Elijah’s biological mother, there was no reason for her to hide the truth. After all, acknowledging their relationship would be in her best financial interest, no matter how one looked at it.

Still, Tarquin asked further, “Did you do this yourself?”

“Yeah, I didn’t even let my assistant touch it.”

Tarquin’s frown deepened but he said nothing more. He stuffed the report into a envelope, handed it to Lowell, and turned to head back to Elijah’s hospital room.

Benjamin was a tad confused, “Whose DNA results are those?”

Lowell replied, “I’m guessing it’s between Ms. Thorne and Elijah.”

Benjamin’s eyes widened in shock, “Tarquin suspects Ms. Thorne is Elijah’s mom? Why on earth would he think that? Elijah doesn’t even resemble her.”

“It might be because of that night at the bar when Ms. Thorne kissed him. It probably triggered some memories.”

Benjamin was even more stunned, “Ms. Thorne kissed him?!”
