Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 708

Tarquin frowned slightly, mulling over the age-old problem: it always came down to money.

Standing tall on his financial pedestal, it was inevitable that he'd catch the eye of those looking to pull him down and claim his wealth as their own. If he were just an average Joe, he wouldn't have a target on his back.

He had yet to come clean to Elysia about the full extent of his wealth, deliberately avoiding the topic of money. He asked her, "Being with me could be dangerous. Does that scare you?"

"Frightened?... But I won't leave you because of it!"

Tarquin was profoundly moved, pulling Elysia into a tight embrace.

Reflecting on recent events the night before, he suspected someone was stirring up trouble to intimidate Elysia. They wanted her to realize the danger of being with him, hoping she'd get cold feet and leave him of her own accord.

The thought made him anxious, knowing Elysia's timid nature. Hearing her commitment left him deeply touched.
