Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 543

Elysia snapped back to reality as her gaze landed on him, momentarily caught off-guard.

He stood a few meters away, hands casually tucked into his pockets, his sharp features slightly softened by a gentle squint, exuding an air of rugged handsomeness. His tall, lean figure carried an aura of aloofness, usually emitting a chilly vibe that marked him as someone not easily approached. But today, for reasons unknown, he seemed less frosty and more approachable, his presence even more distinguished and gentlemanly.

A fair assessment would be: a man of remarkable presence.

To exaggerate: He was too handsome, too charismatic, almost too good for this world.

Even though Elysia harbored no romantic feelings for him, she couldn't help but internally award his looks and demeanor a perfect score.

"Daydreaming? Are we going or not?" he called out.

Elysia quickly responded, "On my way!" She hurried towards him, forgetting she was wearing high heels. Her foot slipped, and she stumbled forward.
