Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem



Keith hesitated, and Tarquin, with a stern face, said, "None of these conditions can be dropped. If you don't agree, then we have nothing to talk about! I might forcibly keep my little girl here, and she might resent me for it. But do you think, if you force her away from her mother, she won't resent you? She likes you, sure, but she loves her mom too!"

The only way to spare our little girl any heartache is for both parties to reconcile.

If we can't come to an agreement, then we'll just have to let our little girl see the discord between us, which will only upset her.

Keith frowned deeply, silent for a moment before finally agreeing, "Fine, I agree!"

With that, he stood up and headed for the yard, eager to take his little girl away, not wanting to spend another second in this place.

The three little ones were displeased but found themselves at a loss.

Elliot and Elijah quickly followed Keith out, to prevent him from doing anything to their mom.

Evan clenched his small fists, his face dark with determination as he told Tarquin, "Let me go! I'll protect my little sister!"

Tarquin immediately refused, "You're better off staying here to protect your mother. I have someone else in mind for the job."

The thought of Keith taking his little girl was infuriating enough, let alone letting him take both of his kids.

Evan was skilled, sure, but impulsive and too quick to resolve things with his fists, unlike Elliot and Elijah who were more level-headed. Sending him could only lead to trouble.

So, he couldn't let him go.

After sending Evan away, Tarquin made a call to Axel, "Get Tamsin back here now."

Tamsin was a bodyguard personally trained by Axel, highly skilled in her craft.

Not only was she proficient in self-defense, but she was also sharp-witted and could even handle cooking and laundry, making her the perfect candidate to look after their little girl.

Just as Tarquin finished the call, Elysia returned, her eyes red with tears, "You're letting our little girl go with Keith?"

Tarquin comforted her, "It's only temporary. Once she gets to know us better, we'll tell her the truth and bring her back from Keith's side! Right now, she's unfamiliar with us. If we forcibly stop her from going with Keith, it'll lead to a confrontation that could scare her. She'd be heartbroken, and she might even resent us."

"But..." Elysia's heart ached, "Our little girl just came back to us, and I've only just reunited with my daughter..."

Tarquin hugged her, gently stroking her hair to soothe her, "Trust me, we're only temporarily separating from our little girl. It won't be long before I bring her back! Keith's involved with some shady characters, and it's only a matter of time before he gets caught. Once we have the evidence, Keith will have no choice but to bring our little girl back to us. He knows that besides himself, we love her the most. When he's backed into a corner, he'll have to return her to us!"

He continued, "I've made terms with Keith. We can see our little girl anytime. I've also arranged for someone to look after her daily needs, so you can stay updated on her every move. And even though we don't like Keith, one thing's for sure: he loves our little girl. He won't let her suffer or harm her in any way. She's safe with him, and she might even be happy."

Elysia sniffled, "I want to go with her. I can take care of her daily needs."

Tarquin immediately refused. If Elysia went, Keith would be overjoyed!Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

He would never send his wife into Keith's clutches!

"You don't know self-defense. You can't protect our little girl. It's not suitable for you to go. I've arranged for a female bodyguard to go instead."
