Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 109

“What’s on your mind?” Tarquin asked, a hint of suspicion lurking in his tone.

“You didn’t want to get close to Elijah’s father, but what about Elijah? Did you worm your way into Corbin’s life to get to Elijah?”

Elysia shook her head fiercely. “It was an accident, helping Corbin! I just stumbled upon him having a fit in the street, and I helped him instinctively. Later, when the Dentons put out a missing person’s call, I was worried about his condition, so I visited him in the hospital. That’s how our paths crossed. I had no idea who Elijah was before that! Elijah’s father was the one who brought me there. If he hadn’t taken the initiative, I wouldn’t even know Elijah existed, let alone have met him. You can check the facts. I’m not lying!”

Tarquin watched her, his frustration palpable. After a moment, he said impatiently, “Let her go upstairs to get her son.”

Lowell quickly added, “Your son’s at the third–floor arcade entrance. Go find him yourself.”

The call ended.

Elysia’s eyes were red–rimmed as she stumbled towards the third floor.

At the arcade entrance, upon seeing Emmett, she felt a sting in her nostrils and lunged forward to embrace him, bursting into tears.

“Mommy… Mommy…”

“Emmett, you scared me to death. I thought I had lost you, whoops, sorry. I’m a terrible mom. I didn’t look after you well. Did you get hurt? Did they harm you?”
