Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 412

Meanwhile, Nola was losing her mind at home. She had thrown everything she could get her hands on and was now sitting on the floor, sobbing uncontrollably.

Aileen, woken by the noise, hurried over in her robe, her face turning pale at the mess in the room. "Nola, what's going on?!"

"Mom! *sob*..." Nola threw herself into Aileen's arms, crying her eyes out. "Tarquin's shacked up with that witch! He doesn't want me anymore! *sob*"

Aileen was shocked. "You went to see Tarquin today?!"

"Yes! I saw that witch Elysia getting out of Tarquin's car, holding Elijah, and going back to Tarquin's place. To any outsider, they'd look like the perfect family! Just thinking about it makes me wish I could gouge out my eyes! Mom, it hurts so much!"

Aileen frowned. "Didn't I tell you not to go after him?!"

"But I miss him! It's been so long, he doesn't answer my calls or texts. If I didn't go to him, he'd probably forget who I am!"

Aileen sighed in frustration. "You're so impatient! You know, you're Elijah's lifesaver. With Tarquin's character, he wouldn't forget you!"

Nola roared, "He has forgotten me! He has someone new and has forgotten his old love, *sob*..."

Aileen was speechless. "Why are you so foolish?! When were you and Tarquin ever an item? He's always seen you as a savior, never had feelings for you! What 'old love' are you to him?"

"Mom, you..."

"Snap out of it, Nola. You're just Tarquin's savior, not his lover. He doesn't have feelings for you!"

Those words from her own mother hit Nola hard. "Mom—"

"What about later?"

"Who can predict the future?!"

Nola panicked again. "But she's so pretty, a real siren. If she stays by Tarquin's side, she'll definitely steal his heart!"

"Then figure out a way to remove her from his side!"

Nola gritted her teeth. "Just removing her would be letting her off too easy. I must get rid of her!"

Aileen smacked Nola on the forehead. "Why are you so senseless! Nola, whatever you do, you need to prioritize! Tarquin is your focus, not Elysia! You need to figure out how to make Tarquin fall for you, not how to get rid of Elysia! Even if Elysia's gone, does that mean Tarquin will like you? Focusing on Elysia is a waste of energy. You should be concentrating on Tarquin! If Tarquin falls for you, Elysia won't matter anymore! If you hadn't taken the wrong path and encouraged Oriana to kidnap Elysia, your relationship with Tarquin wouldn't be so strained! Have you learned nothing?"
