Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 265

Tarquin hadn't instructed Lowell to park the car just anywhere; instead, he had him navigate a narrow path, take a turn, and halt at a secluded cliff side.

Nestled on the edge of the cliff was an ancient-looking oak, beneath which sat a stone table flanked by several stone benches, the area awash with a vibrant array of flowers and greenery.

The view was breathtaking, capturing Elysia's attention instantly. As soon as the car stopped, she couldn't help but push open the door and step out. The mixed scent of flowers and earth hit her, refreshing and invigorating.

A waterfall cascaded down the cliff in the distance, with a lawn and pebbles underfoot, surrounded by blooms in full glory — a true beauty.

Winter's chill usually meant only the hardiest of flowers, like winter jasmine, could bloom.

So, the sight of these flowers swaying in the breeze was a delightful surprise to Elysia.

"How come these flowers are blooming in this season? Are they specially cultivated? Is someone taking care of them? What place is this?"

Lowell was about to respond, but a glance at Tarquin, who remained silent, made him hold back. Instead, he simply said, "This place has the perfect ambiance for a break, Ms. Thorne. You can wait for us here."
