Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 702

Elysia felt an uneasy knot forming in her stomach. Why was Tarquin so hesitant to involve the police? Was it fear or distrust that held him back? She couldn't wrap her head around it and pressed on, "Someone's dead, Tarquin. This is definitely something for the police to handle. Why wouldn't you report this?"

Tarquin tried to soothe her worries. "Just rest up and don't stress about this. I'll take care of it."

Elysia remained silent, a storm of thoughts brewing in her mind.

Tarquin shifted the conversation to a lighter note, "The kids still have no idea about your accident. You've been out cold, and I didn't have the heart to tell them. Maybe we should do a video call now?"

Elysia sniffled, "Let's not. They'd be worried sick seeing me like this."

"Did you tell Blossom about it?"

"Yeah, Blossom Blythe knows. She came to see you when you were unconscious. She's back home taking care of the kids now."

"Make sure Blossom keeps this under wraps for me, will you? Just tell the kids I'm out with you on a short trip."
