Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 358

Elysia's consciousness slowly trickled back, the events of the previous night replaying in her mind like a broken record. Her breathing quickened with panic...

He found out!

He mentioned the kids!

No, no, no, run, just run!

Just like last night, when she realized he had recognized her, her first instinct was to flee!

If you can't beat them, run. That had been her plan all along!

But now, she was wrapped tightly in Tarquin's arms, and any slight movement from her caused his eyebrows to twitch in response.

Elysia feared waking him would spell the end of her escape, so she first silenced her phone, then held her breath, lying quietly in his embrace for a while.

Once she was sure he had fallen back into a deep sleep, she carefully moved his arm from around her waist.

She tiptoed out of bed, and like a thief in the night, she escaped the bedroom, darting into the study.

Only when she had locked the door behind her did she dare to breathe heavily!

Slumping against the door, her body felt limp and powerless...

"Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding..."
