Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 916

The standoff between them lasted for a moment before Elysia, catching Tarquin off guard, stomped hard on his foot with all her might! Tarquin hissed in pain, "My toe's broken."

Elysia seized the opportunity to break away from his embrace, snorting coldly, "Serves you right! Shameless!"

With that, she stormed out of the kitchen.

Tarquin, donning an apron and standing in front of the kitchen counter, watched her leave with a handsome smile, "Not gonna help me out here?"

"No way! Humph!"

Elysia left the kitchen to join the kids playing in the yard.

Tarquin looked towards the kitchen door, still grinning foolishly.

When Heath walked in, he found Tarquin still smiling.

Heath couldn't help but chuckle along, "These are some fresh mushrooms I just picked, perfect for a soup.

Tarquin turned his gaze away, "Heath, I'm really happy right now."

Heath was taken aback for a second; then his eyes welled up as he nodded vigorously, "I know, I know."
