Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 170

Before knowing if Elysia could be discharged, Blossom had already given them a heads up.

She prepared them for the possibility that Elysia might not be home tonight.

Blossom’s voice was bubbly over the phone. “Your mom has wrapped up her business, and she’s in such a great mood that she’s planning to hit Happy Mart for some treats. She’s gonna whip up a feast tonight.”

“Wow!”

The three little ones screamed with excitement.

Elysia, phone in hand, couldn’t help but let a smile spread across her face as she listened to her children’s laughter.

Their voices were the sweetest sound in the world.

Keaton and Tanquin caught sight of that smile.

After Elysia finished the discharge process, Tarquin followed her out.

Maybe it was because Elijah was eager for her home–cooked meals, he stuck close to her side.

“That smile of hers is as lovely as a blooming flower,” Keaton remarked from the driver’s seat, genuinely moved.

At that, Tarquin shot him a glare.
