Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 1393

"Yeah, yeah, you're right. This is a big deal—I'll take it seriously. I'll talk to Keaton about it tomorrow, just sit down and have a real conversation with him."

Elysia let out a long sigh and relaxed into Tarquin's arms. "Even though Winona hasn't really shown it, what Zane did to her was seriously damaging."

"It's only because she's so tough-if she were even a little bit more fragile, I honestly don't think she'd have made it through."

"But no matter how strong she is, she's still just a girl. If something like this happened again, I don't think she'd survive it. That's why I'm so worried."

Tarquin hugged her tighter and nodded. "I get it, I really do. Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Oh, and some good news-Zane left the country."

Not catching him was bad news, sure.

But him leaving-well, that was a win for Winona.

With Zane out of the country, there's no way he could show up and hurt her again.

Elysia's eyes widened in surprise. "Really?"

"Yeah. So at least for now, Winona's safe. No need to worry about Zane coming back for revenge."

Elysia nodded quickly. "That is good news, actually. Does Keaton know? Has Winona been told?"

"Keaton knows. I'm pretty sure he's already told her."

Elysia released another breath, her worries easing a little.
