Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 150

Elijah was finally taking an interest in something other than his mother, and the fact that he’d asked for the food proved he liked it. Regrettably, there was a missed opportunity to delve into Elijah’s interests and treat him to a hearty breakfast.

The meal wasn’t his own handiwork, and he felt he hadn’t fully satisfied Elijah’s appetite.

But overall, it was a good sign that Elijah enjoyed Elysia’s cooking.

He quickly called Heath to look after Elijah and then headed out the door.

Meanwhile, Elysia was saying goodbye to the three little ones.

The kids didn’t need breakfast at home as they’d eat at school, so they’d left early with Blossom.

Elysia was tidying up the house, glancing at her phone now and then. She wanted to call Tarquin to see if Elijah liked her cooking and if he had eaten, but worried about interrupting father and son time, she waited anxiously.

Her phone chimed.

She dashed to the coffee table, hoping it was the man. When she saw it was him, she felt a rush of excitement.

Her heart pounding, she answered, “Hello?”

“Make some more pastries when you get a chance. Elijah loves them,” Tarquin said, almost like he was giving orders.

Despite his cool tone, his excitement was barely contained. He was in a good mood, somewhat happy.
