Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Tarquin's brows furrowed deeply, his heart aching for her.

No matter where he was or whose territory it was, causing his darling Elysia sorrow was simply unacceptable.

Though he had no prior connections with the Hawkins family, Elysia was Clayton's daughter, which made him Clayton's son-in-law by default!

In his eyes, a son-in-law was as good as a son, and the affairs of the Hawkins family were now his business!

He couldn't care less about the saying "even a mighty dragon cannot suppress a local snake" or about being outnumbered. His guiding principle was simple:

Whatever makes my wife happy, I'll do.

Those who bring joy to his wife were allies.

And those who brought her sorrow were enemies!

Over in Oceanopolis, Helen suddenly received the news that Clayton was on his way home, nearly there.

She immediately ceased her actions, glaring at Pamela who was on the verge of passing out from pain, and ordered the servants,

"Carry her to her bedroom! Leave the mess on the floor for now, and get Dr. White here ASAP."
