Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 229

The rain in Jindale City had finally let up, leaving a vibrant rainbow painting the sky.

People on the streets couldn’t resist the urge to capture the moment, with their smartphones out, exclaiming, “Look, look, a rainbow! So pretty.”

Lowell couldn’t help but remark, “Ever since Ms. Thorne took Elijah under her wing, it’s like even the heavens stopped crying and threw a rainbow into the mix to celebrate. Seems like there’s some real chemistry between Ms. Thorne and Elijah. Even the universe is taking notes.”

Tarquin glanced up at the rainbow but didn’t join in the conversation. He wasn’t sure about Elysia and Elijah’s chemistry; he was just happy that the gloomy days were behind them, replaced by clear skies.

He also snapped a photo with his phone, planning to show it to Elijah later.

When they reached Blossom’s apartment complex, Lowell parked the car and called Elysia.

Soon enough, she appeared.

She was wearing a cream–colored down jacket and snow boots, her face bare of makeup, her hair unstyled and blowing in the wind, covering her eyes. She brushed her hair behind her ear, revealing ears reddened by the cold. Not just her ears, her nose was red too.

Maybe it was Tarquin’s imagination, or perhaps it was the contrast, but he thought she looked paler than before.

Lowell got out of the car, and Elysia waved at him, indicating where she was.

Tarquin stayed inside, lighting a cigarette. He couldn’t hear their conversation, but they seemed to be having a good time.
