Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 777

The moment Tarquin hung up the phone, a wave of guilt washed over him as he returned to the hospital room.

Both the child and Elysia were sound asleep, and he found himself sitting at the edge of the bed, staring at Elysia with a tumultuous heart.

If he just came clean, told Elysia about his previous marriage, that he had no feelings for his ex, he was certain Elysia would believe him. He'd argue he didn't intentionally hide his past; he genuinely forgot about that person, and he was sure Elysia would understand that too. But what rattled him was the realization of how carelessly he had cast Elysia into the role of 'the other woman'!

If the Bradfords decided to make a fuss about this, he'd be at a complete loss.

No matter the reason, the stark reality was that he was still legally hitched, and here was Elysia, with him and their child.

The backlash would inevitably fall on Elysia.

Tarquin furrowed his brows, frustrated with himself.

He professed his love for her, yet due to his oversight, he had plunged her into a severe crisis!

Thankfully, there was still time to set things right!

Leaning down, Tarquin gently kissed Elysia on the forehead, tucked her in, and hurried out of the room.

To ensure no stone was left unturned, he had to arrange everything tonight so he could initiate the divorce first thing in the morning.
