Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 420

Tarquin was just about to step through his front door when his phone buzzed, a wave of irritation flashing across his face at the caller ID.

Still, he picked up.

As soon as the call connected, Nola blurted out, “Tarquin, where are you? I need to talk to you, it’s a big deal, huge!”

Tarquin replied with a chilly tone, “Say it over the phone.”

Clearly, he had no desire to see her.

But Nola, as if she hadn’t caught the hint, persisted, “This is too important for a phone call! I need to tell you in person! Just send me your location, I’m coming right now! I...” Beep. Beep. Beep.

Tarquin had hung up on her.

Nola was both angry and hurt, “What’s his problem?”

Her agent tried to console her, “Mr. Bradford might be tied up with something, maybe he can’t meet you right now. Why don’t you just tell him over the phone?”

“How can I explain something this important over the phone?”

“…Nola, are you sure about this? If you rush into telling Mr. Bradford and it turns out to be a misunderstanding, he might hold it against you.”

“I’m absolutely sure! I’m not blind! I saw it with my own eyes, that kid looks exactly like Elijah! It must be Elysia’s doing, that witch!

I know it, she’s trying to harm Elijah! No, I have to let Tarquin know about her evil scheme!”

After saying this, she tried calling Tarquin again. When he didn’t pick up, she left him a voice message, “Tarquin, you need to kick Elysia out, that witch is up to no good! I have evidence she’s only getting close to you for her own benefit! If you don’t get rid of her, Elijah is in danger!”

Tarquin didn’t respond, so Nola, gritting her teeth, left another message, “If you don’t believe me, go check out Sunshine Daycare. Elysia’s brats are enrolled there. Just take a look at them and you’ll see why I’m saying this!”

For Nola, that was the ultimate curse.

Tarquin’s brow furrowed deeper as he coldly said, “I got it.”

The call ended, leaving him staring skeptically at his phone screen.

He didn’t believe Elysia would harm Elijah.

But Nola making such a damning vow meant something was up.

“Did Nola visit the daycare today?”

Lowell, who had been driving, had overheard Nola’s voice message and hummed in response, “Apparently, she went there under the guise of charity work. Interestingly, Ms. Thorne’s three sons attend that daycare. It’s curious that she suddenly decided to donate there, especially with Ms. Thorne’s sons being involved.”
