Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 686

She and Tarquin weren't even officially divorced yet. If Tarquin found out about them, what if it hurt him?

No way, she had to get in touch with the Royal Community's office pronto and get that divorce from Tarquin sorted!

Seizing the moment while he was in the shower, Elysia sat up, grabbed her phone, and dialed the Royal Community,

"Hello, I need to know when Tarquin can meet me? I'm in urgent need to get a divorce! If he refuses to get back to me, I swear I'll camp out at his office!"

The person on the other end said they'd pass the message to Mr. Bradford and hung up promptly.

Elysia frowned, worried. Did Tarquin have some serious issue?

There was zero love between them, they hadn't even met face to face yet, so why on earth was he dragging his feet on the divorce?

After stewing in her frustration for a while, Elysia calmed herself down and called the kids.

Blossom was home today, and the kids were all fine. They told her not to worry and to take care of her business.

Hanging up the phone, Elysia let out a sigh of relief, but the thought of Tarquin reignited her frustration.

When Tarquin came back from cooling off, Elysia was still brooding over the divorce.
