Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 309

Elijah was visibly worried as he overheard the plan, "Evan pretending to be me and going home with Dad, will that work?"

It seemed like a stretch, but there didn't appear to be a better option available.

Elliot, not wanting Elijah to stress further, reassured him, "It'll work out, don't worry. But since Evan's already gone with Tarquin, you'll have to come back to preschool with me. Can you handle that?"

Elliot's eyes softened with affection, "I've got your back, little bro. Once we get to preschool, if you don't feel like talking, just keep quiet. I'll cover for you. Plus, it'll be a good chance for you to get a glimpse into the life we lead. Let's sneak out before Mom notices and head back."
