Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 135

Elysia’s day took a turn for the better after a video call with her sons, recharging her spirits. Her mind immediately drifted to Tarquin.

The encounter with the rugged stranger was just a hiccup; Tarquin was the prize she had returned for. Sure, he had told her not to bother him, but a phone call wasn’t exactly bothering, was it? She hadn’t shown up on his doorstep unannounced or anything.

With her mood in check, Elysia dialed the number for the Royal Community.

She swallowed her pride, asking meekly, “Excuse me, is Mr. Bradford available for a quickie divorce today?”

The response was polite enough, “No, if he happens to free up, Mr. Bradford will reach out to you. Just wait for his call, no need to ring us up.”

With that, the line went dead.

Elysia pouted. Wait for his call? Till when, the twelfth of never?

She still thought that pressuring Tarquin through Keaton was the best play. But Keaton was no pushover, and he definitely wasn’t a fool. How to leverage him was the real puzzle.

“Ring, ring, ring…”

Lost in thought, Elysia was pulled back by the sound of her ringing phone. It was Zane.

She answered, “Hello?”

“Elysia, you free today?” Zane sounded downcast.

“What’s up?”
