Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1316

Elliot, Emmett, and Elijah all caught it—they glanced at Tarquin, brows furrowed, waiting for him to explain.

Tarquin was quiet for a few seconds before he finally spoke up.

“It was an animal carcass. A bit gory. I didn’t want you or Baby to get scared, so we kept you back.”

All three kids instantly widened their eyes—yeah, right!

Tarquin shot them a look: Let it go. White lie.

The trio pursed their lips and looked down, deciding not to call him out.

Elysia squinted at him, suspicious. “An animal carcass?”

“Yeah.”

“What kind of animal?”

“I couldn’t tell, honestly. Looked like it got attacked by something bigger, half-eaten. Bit of a mess.”

Elysia frowned. “So… are there other predators around? Is Evan in danger?”

“He’s fine. White and Bernard’s apprentice are with him.”

“That’s true.” Elysia let out a sigh, buying the story. “Jeez, the way you guys acted, I thought you’d seen a freaking ghost or something.”

Baby piped up in her tiny voice, “Me too! I thought Daddy and my brothers saw a ghost! Spooky!”

Elysia pulled her close. “Don’t worry, honey. Nature’s tough. It’s normal for animals to get attacked out here.”

“Mommy, you don’t be scared either!”

“I’m not, sweetie. I mean, I’m a surgeon, remember? I’ve seen way worse than a dead animal. If I’d known it was just that, I wouldn’t have been so on edge.”

“Mommy, you’re amazing!”

Elysia grinned. “You’ll be even braver than me someday, Baby.”
