Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem ( Elysia and Tarquin) novel Chapter 839

They tried to guide her so many times, but never succeeded. She didn't seek revenge; she just wanted to live a simple life with her kids.

Was she big-hearted or just carelessly optimistic?

What's more puzzling, Elysia didn't fall for him but instead developed feelings for Tarquin...

With things having reached this point, he had no choice but to disrupt his own plans and forcefully take Elysia away.

First, he would take Elysia to see her treasures, hide them well, then return to settle scores with Tarquin!

"Phew..." Keith sighed deeply.

After a moment, he said to Elysia,

"Elysia, feelings can develop over time. It's okay if you don't like me right now. We have our whole lives ahead of us.

After I've sent the entire Bradford family to hell, I'll take you and the kids to a beautiful, secluded place where no one knows us. We can redeem each other and live out our days."

Elysia furrowed her brows at him, her lips moved, but no sound came out.

She felt sorry for him, but she didn't need his redemption. Her life was happy and fulfilled without it!

Nor would she ever fall for him!

She couldn't envisage a future with him!

She understood his pain, resentment, and hatred, but she couldn't reciprocate his feelings.

She had fallen for Tarquin, deeply and utterly. Her heart and eyes had room for no one else but him!

Her future belonged to Tarquin.

But Elysia kept these thoughts to herself.

At this point, she was practically kidnapped by Keith, and she didn't want to provoke him unnecessarily.

Speaking of being kidnapped, it wasn't an exaggeration. Keith claimed he was taking her to her daughter, but in reality, he just wanted to trap her and her daughter with him.

This was abduction, imprisonment!

"Keith..."

Keith cut her off, "Don't try to convince me. I can't let Tarquin go. It's only fair, a father's debts paid by his son."

Elysia's brow furrowed even more,

"Did you consider that Tarquin is the biological father of your treasure? Hurting him would upset her, maybe even make her hate you."

"Would you tell her? Would you make her sad?"

Elysia: "..."

"And what about Elizabeth? Tarquin is Kendrick's son, but he's also Elizabeth's son! Can you bear to hurt Elizabeth's only child? Don't you feel any guilt?"

Keith frowned deeply, silent for several seconds before saying,

"In another life, I'll make it up to her."
