Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 303

Half an hour later, Tarquin and Elysia arrived at the amusement park with Elijah in tow.

For safety's sake, Tarquin had rented out the entire park. At that moment, aside from the staff, they were the only visitors in the park.

Gazing at the towering cartoon characters and the brightly colored castles, Elysia asked Elijah, "Are you having fun?"

Elijah countered, "Are you having fun?"

"Yeah, lots of fun!"

"Then I'm having fun, too."

Tarquin was left wondering. Did that mean if Elysia wasn't having fun, Elijah wouldn't be either? And what if his daddy wasn't having fun?

Out of nowhere, Tarquin felt a twinge of jealousy and admitted, "I'm not really having fun."

Elysia and Elijah both turned to him.

Elysia looked confused and slightly annoyed, but Elijah calmly suggested, "If you're not happy, you don't have to stick around with us. Go have some alone time."

Tarquin was speechless.

Hearing this, Elysia turned to Elijah. "Hey Elijah, how about we go on the roller coaster?"

Elijah nodded eagerly. "Yeah, let's go!"

Hand in hand, the mother and son excitedly ran towards the roller coaster, leaving Tarquin feeling disheveled in the breeze. He watched their retreating figures with a complex expression, feeling as if his son had been snatched away. Elijah used to depend on and adore him the most, but now it seemed he adored Elysia more. When he expressed his unhappiness, his son didn't offer a word of concern; just suggested he go be by himself.

Can love really shift its feet and move on?

For the first time in his life, Tarquin felt the sting of jealousy, and it was sour!

The roller coaster was up ahead, thrilling enough for both adults and children, promising a much wilder ride than the kiddie attractions.

Elysia once again asked Elijah, "Elijah, do you dare to take it?"

Elijah bounced the question back to her, "Do you dare to?"

Elysia hesitated. "I haven't been on many, but if you want to go, I'll go with you."

"Let's do it together."

"Rented out? How do we get in then?"

"Let's wait and see."

Just as Elliot finished speaking, Evan sharply turned his head towards a corner; his brows furrowed, eyes filled with suspicion.

Elliot quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"We're being followed."

Elliot tensed up as well. "Are you sure they're following us?"

"Yeah, sneaking around, definitely up to no good! Bro, you go find Elijah. I'll catch up with you guys later. Let me deal with this stalker."

"Alright, just be careful."

"Don't worry, no one can hurt me."

With that, Evan turned and dashed towards the corner.
