Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 314

Tarquin could barely contain his fury as he forced out the words through gritted teeth, "Elysia, you're really asking for it!"

Elysia's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst out of her chest. Earlier that day at the amusement park, Tarquin had abruptly called to say he was taking Elijah home early and told her to catch a cab. He even said she didn't need to bother cooking dinner for Elijah that evening. Something felt off to her right away.

She had asked why, and he'd snapped at her for prying. Later on, she figured he was Elijah's dad after all and wouldn't harm him, so she dismissed her worries and left the park for the supermarket.

She planned to pick up some treats and cook a lavish dinner for Blossom Blythe and the kids as an apology for neglecting them while she took care of Elijah.

Little did she know, upon arriving home, Tarquin would call, interrogating her!

How did he even find out she had taken his Elliot Evan? And what right did he have to claim ElliotEvan as his own? She was still just suspecting! Even if he had proof, could her actions really be considered stealing?

She was the one who had carried the child for nine months and raised him through sleepless nights and hardships. She was their biological mother, and it was only natural for the children to grow up by her side!

How dare he accuse her of stealing?!

The real thief, if anyone, was him!

As Elysia's frustration mounted, her anger bubbled over.

"How dare you call him your son? What right do you have? Where were you when he was born, when he was learning to speak, when he was sick in the middle of the night?

Do you even know what toys he likes? What food he loves? When his birthday is?

Have you ever even bought him a pair of socks or shoes?
