Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 644

Elysia pressed her lips tightly together, tilting her chin up defiantly, ready to challenge him. But as soon as she locked eyes with his intense gaze, her courage faltered.

She was utterly intimidated by his kiss!

Annoyed, Elysia quickly changed the subject. "How did you know Keith joined us for lunch?"

Tarquin flipped through his phone to show her a photo.

Keith had posted on Twitter an hour ago, with three photos and a caption.

The photos included one of his arm in a cast, the lunch they had shared, and a blooming flower.

The caption read: "Life has its ups and downs. Face it with a calm mind and a positive outlook, and like a flower turning towards the sun, you will flourish."

Elysia was puzzled. "But he didn't mention having lunch with us."

Tarquin pinched her cheek gently, "Silly! I knew right away that the meal in his post was made by you, plus there were four kids' meal sets on the table."

Light dawned on Elysia, "No wonder... I thought the kids told you!"

Speaking of the four little "traitors," Tarquin felt a headache coming on. Such a big event and not one of them had mentioned it, not even Elijah until after the meal was over.

If they had thrown a tantrum, refusing to let Keith join them for lunch, would Keith have succeeded?
