Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 684

Elysia was utterly confused and clueless. Truth be told, she wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed and believed that as long as she didn't admit to anything, Tarquin would be none the wiser!

So, listening to Tarquin repeatedly apologize, she didn't realize he already knew the truth!

But having studied a bit of psychology, she could tell he was in a bad place.

He was hurting, deeply regretful, like there was a ton of guilt pressing down on his chest, impossible to shake off!

He was even more distressed than he had been the day before!

There's a saying that men don't easily shed tears, only doing so at the deepest sorrow.

And right now, he was genuinely heartbroken!

Elysia had no idea what had happened, seeing him like this for the first time. She was worried and panicked, her mind racing with wild thoughts, "Have... have you fallen for someone else? Or, did you get tangled up with another woman in some emotional mess?"

Had he gotten involved with another woman and felt guilty towards her?

Tarquin was momentarily stunned before he hurriedly defended himself,

"No, that's not it. I only have eyes for you. I swear, I..."

Elysia quickly cut him off,
