Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 1364

Tarquin didn't dare admit that it was his idea for Winona to bring dinner over-and that things had gotten awkward because of it.

After all, he was the one who'd set up the whole meal delivery thing.

And Keaton? Well, his reputation wasn't exactly great, and Elysia's feelings about him were pretty clear.

She was fine being friends with Keaton, but the moment romance came up, she'd scrunch up her nose and roll her eyes.

If she found out that the Huber family had gotten the wrong idea because of that dinner that they wanted Winona to become their daughter-in-law-who knows if Elysia would blame him?

So as far as anything between Keaton and Winona went, Tarquin figured it was best to just play dumb.

He quickly switched the subject.

"Don't stress about Keaton," he said. “I heard from Lowell you guys are going skiing tomorrow?"

"Yeah... The kids are excited, and my parents are into it. We're all planning to go," Elysia said.

"What, you're not inviting me?" Tarquin teased.

Elysia shot back, "Didn't you say you were busy?"

"Who told you I was busy?"

Elysia blinked, surprised and suddenly hopeful. "Wait, you're free?"

Seeing the excitement in her eyes, Tarquin felt a warm flutter in his chest. He shot her a crooked smile and gently pinched her cheek.

"You want me to come that much?"

Elysia nodded enthusiastically. "Absolutely!"
