Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1867

Tarquin pondered for a moment, then sought out Elliot and Elijah.

"Look into the owner of First Love Bakery. His name is Jae-hyun Kim. Do it now."

Tarquin had once gone to that bakery to buy food for Elysia, and the moment he stepped inside, something had felt entirely off.

He had done a quick surface-level background check on Jae-hyun back then, but hadn't found any red flags.

Now that Jae-hyun was literally delivering heart-shaped cakes to his front door, he needed a deep dive into the man!

However, Elliot replied, "We already looked into him. We didn't find anything suspicious."

Tarquin was surprised. "Why were you investigating him?"

Elliot explained, "On the day of Mr. Huber's birthday, you and Keaton went out drinking. Mommy and the rest of us ran into him on the way home."

"At the time, Booker's cousin flagged down our car to give Mommy some food, and he was there too."

"When Mommy saw him, she looked awful. It was like all her hackles were raised on instinct."

"I was worried, so I had Elijah look into him. Turns out, everything about him seems perfectly normal. He's the young master of the Kim family, a chaebol in Koryon. His entire life from childhood onwards is completely documented."

Tarquin frowned deeply.

Elliot asked, "What's going on, Daddy? What did he do? Why do you want to investigate him?"

Tarquin's expression was incredibly dark. "He's trying to steal your Mommy away from me."

Elliot's eyes widened. "?!"

Elijah's little brows instantly pulled together in a tight, fierce knot, his eyes flashing with high alert. "Did he challenge you directly?"

Tarquin shook his head.

"No, but the signs are there. He's playing little games behind the scenes. Today, he sent a 'love' cake straight to your Mommy."

Elijah's face turned thunderous.

"Get him deported! Squash this right now! If you won't make a move, I will!"

He had waited so long, prayed so hard, and yearned for an eternity just to finally get his Mommy back!

Anyone who dared to steal his Mommy, anyone who threatened to destroy their family's hard-won reunion, was his mortal enemy!

When it came to this, he'd rather mistakenly eliminate a thousand people than let a single threat slip through!
