Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem ( Elysia and Tarquin) novel Chapter 873

Let's make sure our little darling stays clear of Keith and finds solace in Tarquin's arms.

But the thing is, Keith truly loves our little darling!

Every inch of her, every healthy laugh, her neat appearance, her polite and understanding nature, her carefree life, screams of Keith’s nurturing love. It's all an embodiment of his affection for her.

So, yeah, this is a tough nut to crack!

It's destined that on the path to recognizing his daughter, Tarquin's heart will be the one to bear the scars.

Sigh—

The gang of four couldn't come up with a solid plan either, leaving Tarquin to figure it out on his own.

After hanging up the video call, the four lingered in our darling's room a bit longer before dispersing to their own spaces for some rest.

Evan had just returned to his room when he suddenly remembered Blake. He dashed back to Elliot's room,

“Almost forgot to tell you, bro, I ran into Blake today while I was out…”

Evan recounted how Blake had attempted to kidnap him, leaving Elliot shocked,

“Blake got out of prison? And he plotted to kidnap you?”

“Yeah! Luckily, our darling and her bodyguard stumbled upon us, and she had her bodyguard save me.”

Elliot frowned, “…”

At that fancy dinner party where the family acknowledged their relationship, Elijah had handed the Thorne family over to the police.

Blake had extorted a hefty sum from the Bradford family, a serious offense that could lead to severe punishment!

And with the elite circles all aware that the Thorne family had crossed Tarquin, who would dare to bail them out?

To do so would be to cross Tarquin too.

Elliot asked, “How did they get out?”

“I have no idea.”

“Where are they now?”

“Do you guys think Keith could be the mystery man?”

Elliot’s instincts told him no, but…

“We better hear Keith’s side. But getting Keith to open up means we first need to understand the feud between him and grandpa.”

They might only get to the bottom of the mystery man issue if they could resolve Keith’s grudges.

They needed to figure out what exactly happened that stormy night years ago on the mountain that made Keith hate Kendrick so much.

So much so that even after Kendrick’s death, Keith sought revenge on Tarquin!

And yet, Tarquin insists Kendrick was not the villain he's made out to be. Could there have been a misunderstanding, or did Tarquin misjudge Kendrick’s character?

Elliot pondered over their next move to uncover the truth about that night's events.

With our darling now safely in the Number One Mansion, Keith is bound to show up tomorrow!

Tomorrow…
