Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 960

After a long time, Tarquin returned.

His car had barely rolled into the driveway of the mansion when Elysia came running out of the main house, her feet barely touching the ground.

As Tarquin pushed open the car door and stepped out, his eyes immediately met Elysia's.

For a moment, his expression softened, and his eyes reddened.

He took a deep breath before beginning, choosing to share joy over sorrow,

"Elysia, I've got some good news," he started, his voice cracking with emotion. "I've found my mother's ashes. After so many years... I finally found them. I... Elysia... I...”

His words trailed off as his eyes welled up even more.

Seeing him like this, Elysia's heart broke. She rushed to him, wrapping her arms around him tightly,

"I know, I know everything," she whispered, her own voice trembling. "Finding your mother's ashes... it's a blessing. Let's not be sad. We... we..." But she couldn't finish her sentence before tears started streaming down her face.

She knew how much Tarquin loved Elizabeth!

Ever since they got together, Tarquin had shared countless stories about Elizabeth. Whenever he spoke of her, his face lit up with a smile, radiating happiness.

Every expression, every word, was drenched in his love for Elizabeth.
