Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem ( Elysia and Tarquin) novel Chapter 872

When the four little ones arrived back at Number One Mansion with their precious little sister in tow, Heath and the rest of the staff were waiting eagerly at the door.

Seeing the little girl step out of the car, everyone was both shocked and overjoyed, then tears started to flow!

Back then, they had all but given up hope, thinking that Tarquin wouldn't survive under the cruel hands of the Bradford family...

But who could have imagined not only did he make it through, he now had a wife and children, a happy and complete family!

Even happier than Kendrick and Elizabeth back in the day!

First, he was reunited with his sons, and now, a daughter too!

A perfect family picture!

It seemed like the heavens were finally smiling down on them!

Heath, wiping away tears, led the staff of Number One Mansion forward, chanting in unison, "Welcome home, miss!"

The little girl, clutching her bunny doll, looked around in confusion.

Elijah said, "Sweetheart, this is our home, and these are the people who take care of us. This gentleman here is Heath, our butler."

The little girl, ever so polite, responded, "Hello, everyone. Hello, Heath."

With teary eyes, Heath exclaimed, "Welcome, welcome, little miss! Let's get you inside, dinner is ready."

Upon receiving the call from the siblings, Heath had hurriedly instructed the kitchen to prepare a feast.

All sorts of dishes, especially meats prepared in various ways!

The little girl's eyes sparkled. After washing her hands, she eagerly sat down to eat.

After all the commotion, she was starving.

Without a word, she dove into her meal, grains of rice dotting her cheeks and nose.

The siblings watched her with adoration, finding her more and more endearing by the minute.

Elliot chuckled, "She's just like mommy, a great appetite, and a love for meat."

The others nodded in agreement, "Exactly like mommy, especially fond of chicken and fish."

Indeed, the little girl was much like Elysia, not just in appearance and personality, but even in her culinary preferences.

She had inherited all the good traits, and, amusingly, some of the less admirable habits too.

He had missed the video call before and hadn't seen his daughter.

Tarquin, looking at his daughter through the screen, couldn't hide his thrill, "She's definitely Tarquin's daughter, so beautiful!"

The siblings exchanged glances, thinking, "Sure, she's your daughter, but what does her beauty have to do with you?"

The little girl didn't resemble him at all!

After their silent critique, they couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy for him.

She was his daughter, yet she called Keith "Daddy."

For Tarquin, each time she called Keith "Daddy," it was like a knife to the heart.

Yet, there seemed to be no easy way to change this situation.

Keith had raised her, and she had always believed Keith was her daddy.

Even if they told her now that Keith wasn't her real father and Tarquin was, she'd likely still be closer to Keith!

Especially since, if Keith didn't truly love her, they might have found a way to reveal his true colors and let the little girl see him for who he was.
