Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 484

Evan even muttered under his breath, "Is that it? How dull."

Tarquin: "..."

Elliot, however, gave Tarquin an appreciative glance, secretly admiring him for knowing how to play his cards right.

This was indeed a surprise for Mom!

Elliot knew Elysia best, and her eyes were as wide as saucers!

She was utterly astonished as she gazed at Tarquin, "For... for me?"

"Yeah."

"Can I use it for anything?"

"Yeah."

"How... how much can I spend? How much per month?"

"As much as you want."

Elysia's breath hitched, shocked, "Is this card unlimited?"

"For now, yes."

"Seriously? You're not pulling my leg, are you?"

Tarquin: "...Do I look like I'm entertaining a toddler?"

His words had barely left his mouth when he felt a kick under the table. Elijah had stealthily kicked him.

Tarquin glanced at his son and had no choice but to reassure Elysia, "Yes, really. I'm not joking."

"...But wait, I thought all those unlimited cards I see on TV are black? Why is this one white?"

Tarquin was about to roll his eyes at her when he caught Elijah's warning look.

He pursed his lips, forced to engage properly, "Don't worry about the color. Just enjoy spending, buy whatever you want. I'm not putting any limits."

Elysia held her breath, "So, what you're saying is, this is an unlimited card? For me? I can just go on a spending spree?"

Tarquin: "Yes!"

Elysia turned to her kids, "Elliot, Evan, Emmett, and Elijah, you all heard him, right? Mom didn't mishear?"

The quartet: "Yeah!"

Elysia was near tears of joy, "Oh my stars! This... this... this... this is such a surprise! Am I a rich lady now?! Oh my goodness, I've made it!"

Tarquin watched her, puzzled by her bold declarations.

The kids knew all too well.

For a moment, they didn't know how to feel.

Mom was clearly dazzled by the money...

Her determination to live peacefully with their stepdad meant she was ready to let go of past pains and turn a new leaf.

That was something to be happy about.

But...

Was she being naive? It was a credit card, after all. The control was in someone else's hands.

Today they allow you to spend, you can enjoy.

Tomorrow if they change their mind, you can't spend a dime!

Elliot watched his mom's overjoyed expression and couldn't bear to burst her bubble, so he could only facepalm in resignation.

Oh dear, Mom's intelligence... Is there any hope?
