Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 719

"Daddy!" As Tarquin spiraled out of control, Elijah quickly called out to him.

Blossom shivered at the sight of Tarquin's expression, cautiously reminding, "Let's all just calm down, Elliot's still resting."

Tarquin, unable to contain his fury, had the urge to grab Keith by the collar and drag him outside for a 'private chat'. However, before he could act, Elysia's stern gaze pinned him down.

Elysia didn't utter a word, just fixed him with a steady stare.

Tarquin's impulsiveness, impossible to suppress, gradually receded under her gaze.

After a few seconds, Elysia turned to Keith, "The police have been notified. They'll get to the bottom of this."

Keith nodded, "If there's anything I can do to help, just say the word. No need for formalities. I've got other matters to attend to, so I'll be off now."

Elysia got up to see him out, but Keith refused, "No need, stay with Elliot."

Keith's departure was graceful, leaving no doubt in anyone's mind that he saw Elysia purely as a friend.

Blossom chimed in, "I'll walk him out. Elysia, you stay with Elliot."

As Blossom escorted Keith out, she signaled the kids to follow, leaving just Tarquin, Elysia, and the unconscious Elliot in the room.
