Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174 

The woman wanted to sell more products, but Tarquin was only interested in the same brand that Elysia favored. 

She couldn’t convince him otherwise, so she just loaded his cart with several more packs without further ado. 

Tarquin didn’t dive into his relationship with Elysia after grabbing the feminine products, he set off to find her. 

And as luck would have it, he looked up to see her at the end of the aislel 

No need to search–she had made herself known! Her fierce demeanor gave Tarquin the unsettling feeling of a stalker caught in the act. He furrowed his brow and froze, unsure how to react. 

Elysia was seething! 

Even with his mask and sunglasses, she recognized him instantly! 

Damn him! 

How dare he follow her! 

Charging with her shopping cart, Elysia advanced with a stormy presence. 

Seeing her, Tarquin wanted to flee for some reason, but his p 

pride rooted him to the spot. 

As Elysia approached and saw her own shopping list mirrored in his cart, her anger flared. She mammed her cart against his with a thud 

“What the heck?” she demanded. 

Tarquin scowled. “What?” 

“Why are you stalking me?” 

“Im not stalking you!” 

“Then how come everything you’ve got is exactly what I’m buying?” 

“It’s a free country! I can buy whatever I want. It’s not like I’m complaining about you copying my shopping list,” he retorted. 

“You… Are you some kind of creep?” 

“Watch your language!” Tarquin’s face darkened. 

“Watch my language? You want me to watch my language when you’ve been tailing me all morning? You gonna tell me you didn’t follow my lead on these items?” 

Tarquin, with a stony expression, played his hand of denial. 

“Nope!” 

“Not admitting it, huh? Well, explain this: Why y are you buying the same sanitary pads as me?” 

“The manufacturer didn’t make them exclusively for you, did they?” 

“I mean, I use them for their intended purpose. What’s your reason?” 

“I use them too.” 

Elysia choked up, momentarily at a loss for words. 

Tarquin thought he had the upper hand and continued, “So, only you can use them, and I can’t? You sure are nosy” 

He then grabbed a few more packs from the shelf and dumped them into his cart, adding. Tve always used this brand.” 

After his snide comment, he gave Elysia a mocking look. 

Stunned, Elysia forgot her anger, staring at him incredulously. “You, a grown man, how can you possibly need these?” 

“Who says they’re only for women? 

They’re for women!” 

Tarquin’s face tumed dark as he took another glance at the products. He had been too focused on following Elysia and hadn’t paid attention to what he was actually grabbing, mistaking them for toilet paper… 

“You’re a freak, aren’t you?” Elysia snapped again. 

Tarquin clenched his teeth in frustration. He had lost this round and couldn’t muster a comeback. Reluctantly, he returned the feminine hygiene products to a distant shelf and coolly said, “My mistake, I’ve always used this brand’s tissues.” 

“You’re lying! This brand only makes sanitary pads, no tissues! And you still claim you’re not copying my shopping list? If you’re a man, you’d admit it openly! Don’t make me lose respect for you!” 

11:20 

Tarquen felt his face being metaphoneally ground into the dirt 

Aware of the onlookers, he abandoned his cart and grabbed Elysia, pulling her behind another nigle 

They found themselves in the bedding section, among comforters and quilts, with no one else around. 

Elysia struggled, Let go of met Let go 

Tarquin pulled her in, pinning her against the shelf to prevent her escape.
