Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 382

Chapter 382

In the sterile whiteness of the hospital room, Elysia sat vigil by Elijah's bedside, her eyes red and swollen from crying. She was desperate to whisk him away before the results of the paternity test came in. She knew that once Tarquin got the confirmation, he'd never let her leave, let alone take Elijah with her.

A strained marriage could never provide the nurturing ground her children needed to grow up healthy and happy. She firmly believed that a happy single-parent family was far better than a miserable two-parent one.
