Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 244

Tarquin's face darkened, his eyes filled with a fierce determination.

The best thing about the old neighborhood was its convenience.

Right at the entrance, there was a row of small shops - a breakfast diner, a fruit stand, a greengrocer, and even a clothing store.

Elysia had picked up some fresh meat and vegetables.

Noticing the oranges looked particularly fresh, she decided to make some orange juice for Elijah, so she bent down to pick the best ones.
