Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem



Elysia's heart was racing. "What if... what if we lose money?"

Tarquin just chuckled, "Relax, with me here, we won't lose a penny."

Elysia pouted, looking at Tarquin with eyes that slowly filled with tears before she threw herself into his arms.

"How can you be so good to me?"

"Sweetheart, you're my wife. Isn't it normal for me to treat you well? If not you, who else should I treat this way?"

"But I... I'm just broke. I can't give you anything."

Tarquin affectionately stroked her hair, "You've given me so much more than you realize. You've given me beautiful, healthy kids, your love, a sense of family, happiness, and a warm home."

He kissed the top of her head, "You have no idea how important you are to me, Elysia. You deserve all my love and everything I can offer."

Elysia hugged Tarquin tightly, her face buried in his chest as she cried.

Moved beyond words.

Tarquin softly comforted her, "Don't cry. We have to pick up the baby soon. It's the kids' first Halloween together. We should make it fun and memorable, let them have a blast."

Elysia quickly wiped her tears, flustered, "Do you have any plans? I've been so preoccupied with the baby lately, I haven't even thought about how to make today special for the kids."

Lately, she had been out of sorts. It was only after Tarquin mentioned it that she realized today was Halloween.

After coming back from seeing the baby, she had wanted to discuss plans with Tarquin, but she fell asleep before they could talk.

She had gone to bed early because Tarquin had lit some lavender-scented candles to help her sleep.

Since finding out about the baby, she had been struggling with insomnia. Tarquin, feeling sorry for her, had used the scent to help her sleep.

Tarquin said, "You don't need to worry about that, it's my job. Today, you're also celebrating. You and the kids are on the same team, just focus on having fun."

Elysia was speechless.

Tarquin added, "I've already got everything arranged. After we pick up the baby, we'll head out. I promise you and the kids will have a great time." Elysia threw herself into his arms again, touched, "It's so good to have you."

Tarquin hugged her, feeling warmth in his heart, "It's only good because you're here."

After a moment of sentimentality, Tarquin let go of Elysia, placed his hands on her shoulders, and looked at her seriously, "Promise me, no more sadness over the baby. It hurts me to see you hurt, and the kids feel it too. We can all be happy if you're happy. You're the heart of this family, and our moods revolve around you. So for us, try to be happy too.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

As for the baby, leave it to me. She's our daughter, and I won't let her be lost to us.

Trust me, it won't be long before she's back with us, happily and willingly."

Elysia frowned slightly, "Do you have a plan?"

"Yes, but don't worry about the details. Just look forward to having the baby back. Trust me, okay? I'll make sure it happens!"

Elysia and Tarquin locked eyes for a moment before she nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

Tarquin smiled and affectionately ruffled her hair, "Let's get ready to pick up the baby." "Okay!"

Together, Elysia and Tarquin got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to freshen up.

While they were brushing their teeth, Evan suddenly burst in without knocking!

Seeing the bed empty, he rushed into the bathroom, stood at the doorway, panting, and stared straight at Tarquin.

Elysia quickly rinsed her mouth, "What's up, Evan? Is something wrong?"
