Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 535

Amidst Evan and Emmett's wide-eyed astonishment, she turned to Tarquin, her voice laced with disbelief.

"Is this, really, your family's old mansion?"

"Yeah," Tarquin responded simply.

Elysia glanced outside the car window at the sprawling golf course. "Your... your family's place is this huge, this lavish?"

Tarquin knew exactly what was running through her mind and said, "You're just not used to this kind of luxury. If you ever visited the Bradfords, the wealthiest family around, you'd be even more astounded."

Elysia let out a sigh of relief. "You had me scared for a moment there. I thought your family was the Bradford clan."

Tarquin looked puzzled. "Why be scared?"

Elysia pouted slightly. "Well, technically, I'm still married to a Bradford, so I'm the wife of the richest man, Tarquin Bradford, in name at least!" And they hadn't divorced yet.

So, if today her secret lover and Tarquin met, it would be a scandalous encounter between a 'homewrecker' and a legitimate husband.

Though neither of them loved her, the mere thought of such a confrontation was terrifying.

Elysia tried to brush it off. "I'm just not accustomed to such grandeur. I've heard the Bradfords can be quite intimidating."
