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.

She hadn’t yet shared the news about Winona’s situation with Blossom. Knowing Blossom would only fret alongside Elysia, unable to offer any real help.

Zane was also in the dark. Elysia had a nagging suspicion about him and feared that mentioning anything might tip him off.

Silence greeted her question.

Outside, Tarquin stood with a scowl, glaring at Lowell, “Speak up!”

Lowell was puzzled. Why was he expected to talk when it was Tarquin who wanted to see Elysia?
