Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 317

In Elijah's room, the brothers were having a heart-to-heart over the phone.

Evan was really worried about their mom, Elysia. "Is Mom okay now? Is she still crying?"

Elliot replied, "She stopped crying. We've figured it out. Tarquin said he won't let Mom see Elijah anymore. That's why she was upset."

"Why wouldn't he let Mom see Elijah?"

"Well, Mom's not even sure herself. She told Aunt Blossom that Tarquin suddenly called her, accusing her of trying to take his son! Did you do or say something that might have given him the wrong idea?"

Evan blinked, a bit puzzled. "On the way back, he kept talking to me. I asked him to stop, but he wouldn't. He just went on and on, and I got so annoyed that I yelled at him."

"What did you yell?"

"I... I told him Elysia is my mom, and I never wanted a dad."

Elliot sighed. "No wonder."
