Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 912

"This was the happiest Children's Day I've ever had in my life."

Tarquin turned to look at her, "From now on, I'll make every year happier than the last for you."

The two shared a smile, surrounded by pink bubbles of joy.

After making sure the grown-up was happy, Tarquin returned to the candy store to delight the younger one.

Baby was playing with four little stuffed animals and a bunny doll, giggling with joy.

Elysia couldn't help but ask Tarquin, "Are you sure Baby can stay with us tonight?"

"Absolutely! Don't worry!"

Reassured, Elysia joined the children in their fun, playing along with them.

They played until late afternoon when Tarquin finally said, "Baby, shall we go home and see your Children's Day present?"

Baby was surprised, "There's another present?"

"Of course, the flowers this morning were just the start. The real present is at home, and I promise, Baby, you're going to love it!"

The little girl's face was flushed with excitement, her big eyes wide with surprise.

Tarquin asked, "Shall we go home now?"

"Yes, yes!"

So, the group set off for Number One Mansion.

Keith had been keeping an eye on the situation!

Hearing that Tarquin was taking Baby back to Number One Mansion, he immediately became alert and quickly called Elysia, "It's getting late, when will Baby be coming back? If you're too busy, I can come to pick her up right now."

"You... wait, talk to Baby."

Elysia handed the phone to Baby, who obediently called out, "Daddy?"

Keith, suppressing his anxiousness, spoke softly, "Yes, it's Daddy. It's time to come home, Baby."

"Can I wait a bit longer, please? Mr. Handsome has prepared a present for me, and I haven't seen it yet."

Keith was puzzled, "Didn't he give you a present this morning?"

"Okay." Baby obediently closed her eyes, full of anticipation.

Elysia was curious, "What on earth did you prepare for Baby?"

Tarquin winked at her, "It's a secret!"

Elysia rolled her eyes.

Entering Baby's room and seeing Tarquin's present made everyone gasp in amazement.

"Wow!" exclaimed the stuffed animals in unison.

Elysia's eyes widened in surprise.

Baby was getting impatient, "What is it? Did you see it?"

Tarquin asked, "Are you ready, Baby?"

"Yes, I'm ready!"

Tarquin counted, "One, two, three... open your eyes!"
