Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 275

Elysia's heart leapt to her throat, but she denied vigorously,

"Nothing! Absolutely nothing!"

But it was obvious there was!

Tarquin, with a look of disdain, pursed his lips, "Move aside."

He wasn’t usually nosy about her business, but today, he was determined to see what she was up to.

Elysia was petrified, her chest heaving with heavy breaths. She pushed him away with all her might, "You...move!"

Tarquin staggered slightly, annoyed, "What the hell?!"

"Get out!"

"Hiding someone?!" It slipped out of Tarquin's mouth instinctively.

Given Elysia's current state, she resembled a wife sneaking someone into the house behind her husband's back. It was a casual question, but for Elysia, it hit too close to home and nearly made her faint!

Indeed, she had hidden Elliot under the bed!

The more nervous she got, the more curious Tarquin became. Ignoring her protests, he tried to move her aside to see what was really under the bed!

But the moment his hand touched Elysia, she snapped like a cornered little puppy, tilting her head and biting down on his arm.

And she bit hard!

Elijah gave her a skeptical look, "I’m fine."

Then he turned his questioning gaze to Tarquin, as if to say: What did you do to her to scare her like this?

With a hint of sarcasm, Tarquin said, "You should ask her what she’s been up to in your room, sneaking around for no good reason."

Hearing this, Elysia glared at Tarquin, stumbling over her words in an attempt to explain, "I...I was just dealing with some personal stuff in the room, stuff I didn’t want him to know about, stuff I didn’t want to talk about, but he kept asking."

Both Tarquin and Elijah went speechless.

The room went silent for a moment before Elijah coldly said, "If she doesn’t want to talk about it, she doesn’t have to. Everyone’s entitled to their secrets."
