Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 468

"Yep! Exactly! It's a rare opportunity, Dad, you've got to cherish it. To show you're serious, why don't you cook dinner tonight? Whip up some of your best dishes!"

Tarquin: "..."

Why did he suddenly feel so undervalued? He was the one who helped, yet now he's playing host!

So, don't feel hard done by. Just count your blessings and don't look a gift horse in the mouth."
