Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1332

[Hey babe, you busy?]

Elysia sent a quick text to Tarquin.

The moment his phone buzzed, the deep crease between Tarquin’s brows smoothed out, and his whole face softened. The change was instant—he looked gentle, even tender. Not only did he turn gentle, but he also tossed his pen aside, abandoned his work, and grabbed his phone to call his wife back.

Before hearing from his wife: work is life.

After hearing from his wife: forget work—wife is life.

"Did you just wake up?" Tarquin's voice was so soft it was almost unrecognizable.

Lowell, sitting across from Tarquin, could barely keep a straight face. See? There isn’t a man alive who can’t be sweet—they just save it for the right person, and Tarquin’s sweetness was strictly a limited edition.

Lowell knew when to make himself scarce. As soon as he stepped out, he announced to the team,

“Congrats, everyone—you’ve all been pardoned. Pack it up, it’s time for lunch.”

People looked around, surprised. “The boss is taking a break?”

“Yep. Looks like you lot have suffered enough. An angel has come to save you all.”

“Which angel?” someone joked.

Lowell grinned, “The boss’s wife.”

Suddenly, everyone perked up.

“It’s lunchtime, so she’s probably calling the boss home to eat. Think he’ll actually go?”

“Oh, definitely! It’s all over the internet—our boss is absolutely whipped! He adores his wife.”

“Yeah, but he’s also a workaholic. You guys remember how much he loves his job, right?”

“That was then, this is now,” someone piped up. “Lowell, who does the boss love more: his wife or his work?”

A young woman chimed in, “I bet he loves his wife more!”

Lowell gave her a big thumbs-up. “You win! Right now, the boss only wants to be in love, not at work! If he didn’t have to make money for his wife, he’d never be here—he’d be glued to her 24/7!”
