Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 286

Just as Elliot and Evan had made it out of the neighborhood, Elliot said, "Mom called again, must be Elijah spilling the beans about the ceremony," Elliot whispered, a hint of mischief in his eyes.

"What now? If she finds out we met Elijah, she'll freak out even more!" came the worried reply.

"Just keep it under wraps. Mom's easy to fool."

Elliot found a quiet corner to take the call, his voice calm and collected, "I'm just hanging out at home."

Elysia's voice trembled with anxiety, "You're home, huh? But Elijah, he..."

"What about Elijah?"

Elysia lowered her voice, "His dad didn't talk to him about the details, but somehow Elijah knows everything that happened. Did you tell him?"

Elliot remained cool as a cucumber, "Not me. But you know, with all the people involved, someone else might have. Like Mr. Lowell, he was always around me and Elijah's dad, knew all the details, and he's on good terms with Elijah. Maybe he mentioned something."

Elysia paused, considering, "Right, I forgot about Lowell. He was there today, knew all about it."
