Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 255

Chapter 255

Blossom could see that Elysia was on edge about Elijah's upcoming family ceremony. She tried to reassure her, saying, "You know, Elliot might be young, but he's got a good head on his shoulders. You can trust him to handle things smoothly. Nothing's going to go wrong."

Elysia trusted Elliot, of course, but the thought of all the things that could potentially go wrong was still a nagging worry in her mind.

Blossom added, "Besides, you're not even sure if he's really Evan and Elliot's dad. Maybe it's just a resemblance, you know? Think about Daniel. Daniel looks so much like his dad! Everyone says he's the spitting image. But in reality, there's no biological connection there."

"Yeah, you're right," Elysia conceded.

"So, don't worry. First off, Elijah's dad might not be that wild man. And even if he is, Elliot is smart enough to keep things under wraps. Everything will be fine."

Elysia let out a sigh of relief, "To make sure everything goes smoothly tomorrow, I'm not going to come home tonight. I've already told the little ones, so they're all set. I'm counting on you to look after them. Thank you!"

Blossom waved off her thanks, "No need for formalities between us. I'm on standby too. My phone's glued to my hand, ready for your call. Just ring me if you need anything!"

"Will do." Elysia couldn't help but hug Blossom tightly. Having such a supportive friend was truly a blessing.
