Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 683

As Tarquin basked in a mix of relief and seething anger towards the enigmatic stranger, he found himself back at Sunshine Community in just over twenty minutes.

Gently pushing open the door to his home, he noticed the absence of Elysia in the living room and proceeded to the master bedroom.

It was midday, yet the bedroom remained shrouded in darkness.

The curtains were still drawn, allowing only a sliver of light to sneak through and illuminate Elysia's face, showing her deep in slumber.

The sight of her immediately banished thoughts of the mysterious man from Tarquin's mind.

Today was their day, a moment solely for him and Elysia, and he'd be damned if anyone dared to interrupt.

Treading lightly, Tarquin closed the door behind him and approached the bed, gazing at her with a mix of caution and adoration.

This was Elijah's birth mother!

The woman he'd been searching for over six long years!

The one he had wronged, wanted to make amends for, tirelessly sought after, and now loved deeply - it was all her.

Tarquin's expression was a tangled web of emotions as he gently caressed her cheek, his hands trembling...

His feelings for her were complex, a blend of love and guilt.

Relief, self-reproach, and deep affection coexisted in his heart.
