Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 431

Elysia shot him a wary look. "What about?"

Tarquin replied, "If you won't come here, I'm coming over to you."

Elysia quickly said, "Wait, I'll come to you!"

Discussing matters in the study always felt more comfortable than in the bedroom.

Upon reaching the study, Elysia stood with caution and asked, "What do you want?"

Tarquin got straight to the point, "Does your son know Nola?"

"No, he doesn't."

"Then why is he spreading rumors that Nola is pregnant?"

Elysia certainly wouldn't admit that Elliot did it on purpose and lied, "My son didn't mean to start a rumor. He just thought her belly looked a bit bulgy and assumed she was pregnant. We didn't expect the media to blow it out of proportion."

Tarquin stared at her with an inscrutable expression for a moment before asking, "Is there anything extraordinary about your son?"

"What do you mean?"

"Do they, compared to other kids, show any unusual traits?"

Elysia confidently and assuredly said, "Not at all. They are just ordinary kids. Oh, they are quite smart though."
