Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem



Everyone was in shock. "Who is it?! Is that Ms. Thorne?"

Tarquin, squinting his handsome eyes, flipped out a photo to show them, "My girlfriend, Elysia."

The photo was a selfie of him and Elysia, where she was sleeping with her eyes closed, looking completely at peace. He had sneaked up to her side and taken the photo with his phone.

It was obviously a candid shot.

Someone tried to grab the phone for a closer look, but Tarquin slapped his hand away.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

"Just look, don't touch!"

He was being overly protective, clearly a bit of a jealous type.

The group didn't fuss over it, instead, they stared intently at his phone screen. Someone commented, "Your lady is quite the stunner!”

Tarquin beamed with pride, "An angel among us."

Another added, "She looks so kind and gentle, the epitome of warmth!"

Tarquin, with a touch of haughtiness, replied, "The perfect wife material."

Someone else observed, "She seems like she's deeply loyal in love."

Tarquin boasted, "She only has eyes for me."

Then someone mentioned, "But with her looks, she must have a lot of men chasing after her!"

Tarquin's smile turned into a chuckle of confidence, "In her eyes and heart, there's only me. No other man stands a chance. I'm her one and only." Keaton, aware of the whole situation, couldn't help but tease him, "Man, you're thirty and still get this excited over a relationship. That's kinda sad!" Tarquin shot him a cold look and scoffed, "Some people hop from one to another and still don't know what true love is. That's even sadder."

Just as Keaton was about to retort, Tarquin cut in, "I have true love, and a kid!"

Keaton was left speechless, his lips pursed. He really couldn't compete with that.

His own love life was all about flings, devoid of real love, let alone having a child. He couldn't hold a candle to Tarquin.

Not just him, no one in the room could.

Finding someone you love who loves you back just as much is harder than reaching the stars!

Tarquin glanced at Keaton with disdain, then turned to the others, practically radiating arrogance.

His face might as well have been engraved with the words: I'm the happiest man alive, come at me if you dare!

From then on, whatever the topic of conversation, he found a way to bring it back to Elysia. To sum up his message:

I'm in love with Elysia, jealous much?

My girlfriend is Elysia, I'm the luckiest guy in the world!

In three words: Just showing off.

In four words: Purely boasting.

In five words: Absolutely flaunting it!

And while flaunting, he didn't forget to issue a warning:

"My girlfriend is just an ordinary girl, who loves her comforts and is a bit timid. If you or your ladies ever run into her, keep it low-key. Don't you dare upset or scare her, or you'll have me to answer to!"

Keaton mocked, "Look at him, got a girlfriend and forgot all about his buddies. Classic case of bros before... well, you know."

Tarquin, ever so magnanimous, declared, "Bros can be replaced, but a girlfriend like mine, once gone, is gone for good!"

The bros: "..." Never knew our very own President Bradford was such a hopeless romantic!

Meanwhile, Elysia was blissfully unaware that she had become the talk of the town among the elite bachelors!

She continued her calm and collected life, finishing her nightly routine before checking on her children.

Having not seen them for a whole day and night, she missed them terribly.

It's often said that kids around four or five can't be away from their mother, but truth is, it's the mothers who can't stand being away from their kids!

She gently touched each of their faces, giving them a goodnight kiss, before heading back to her bedroom.
