Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 228

Lowell felt utterly wronged “You didn’t even give me a chance.”

“And you… you think you’re in the right now?”

Lowell remained silent. Justice lies in the heart of the beholder. Right now, he might be feeling wronged, but he won’t say it out loud. On the other end of the phone, Elysia was all ears. She knew he didn’t know about the food.

So, her little rant earlier… wasn’t unjustified after all!

And it was him who didn’t give a proper ear to the matter. Not letting Lowell finish his piece, that’s on him!

Tarquin explained, “I didn’t know you made Elijah food.”

“Oh.” The response was cold.

Tarquin was silent, the tension thick in the air.

Lowell, ever the peacemaker, chimed in, “Ms. Thorne, is the food still up for grabs? If so, Tarin and I can swing by and pick it up. We’re free.”

Elysia retorted, “You come alone. I don’t want to see him.”

Lowell was taken aback. “Ah?”

“Seeing him annoys me!”
