Chapter 504

That evening, in the cozy suburban home.

Two couples snuggled up in the living room, their eyes glued to the TV screen, tuned into the evening news channel.

Minutes later, the broadcast began. Tonight’s headline was the talk of the town-

Bertha had been arrested!

During the report, they replayed the comical footage of Bertha being carted off by the police, a scene so funny it could still make one, laugh until they hit the jackpot.

“Huh? That dashing cop looks so familiar, Where have I seen him before?”

Marilla’s slender fingers tapped her chin thoughtfully, then her eyes sparkled with recognition. “Oh, I remember now! He was sitting next to me at Myra’s birthday party. He even chatted with me. Umm!”

Before she could finish, Jareth’s gaze darkened, and he couldn’t resist capturing her chin, enveloping her soft lips in a passionate kiss that was fiercely jealous.

Evadne and Thaddeus were engrossed in the news when they heard the unmistakable sounds of affection, both pausing in surprise. Thaddeus shifted his sturdy frame, shielding the steamy live scene from view, and leaned in to plant a deep kiss on Evadne’s lips.

“What’s the matter? Too R–rated for me to see?”

Evadne pouted petulantly. “I’ve seen all sorts of things in my life. It’s just a kiss, after all.”

“It’s not that. I just didn’t want you to feel awkward.” Thaddeus pinched her cute nose, a resigned smile on his face-

“Hmph, I’m not the one who gets embarrassed. It’s always someone else.”

Jareth pulled away from Marilla, his eyes still flushed with emotion. Marilla was left breathless, her eyes misty from his kiss.

“Babe, are you trying to make me jealous by mentioning another guy?“..

His fingers traced her moist lips, his voice husky. “Handsome cop? Is he handsomer than your husband, huh?”

“Umm, you’re both handsome,” Marilla blushed like a ripe peach.

“Yeah? Who’s more handsome?” Jareth teased, tickling her.

“You are, Jareth! You’re the handsomest!” Marilla giggled uncontrollably, huddling in his arms.

Evadne crossed her arms and rested her head on Thaddeus’s broad shoulder, casting a sidelong glance at Jareth. “If it weren’t for love being blind, it’d be hard to say who’s more handsome.”

Jareth’s heart pounded like a drum!
