Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 233

When Tarquin came looking for Elysia, she had just hung up the phone with Callum.

After worrying about Elijah, her concerns had shifted to Winona.

Communicating with Callum about Winona was her only option. First, Callum’s family was well–off and had the means to dig up more information. Second, Winona was his high school sweetheart, and her well–being was of utmost importance to him.

Silence greeted her question.
