Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 291

Blossom and the boys were still in the living room, munching on snacks, when Elysia dashed to the foyer, hurriedly slipping into her shoes while explaining, “Elijah's downstairs. I'm gonna check it out. You guys eat. Elliot, Evan, Emmett, hurry up and get ready for bed once you're done."

Before she left, she threw Blossom a look, silently asking her to keep an eye on the trio and make sure they didn't wander downstairs. Blossom responded with a reassuring glance.

When Elysia reached the bottom of the stairs, the sight of Elijah and Tarquin standing in the rain caught her off guard! She'd rushed out so quickly she'd forgotten to grab an umbrella.

Darting into the rain, she quickly ushered Elijah into the entryway. Without a towel handy, she used her own shirt to wipe his face and hair dry. Once his face was clean, she noticed Elijah was crying.

Elysia was taken aback. "Elijah, what's wrong?"

Tears blurred Elijah's vision as he looked at her, his lips trembling violently. He wanted to call out 'Mommy' but was too nervous to utter a word. Though his lips moved, no sound came out! He stomped his feet in frustration, repeatedly calling out for his mommy in his heart.

This was his mommy!

The one he missed every single moment of every day!
