Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 318

In the bedroom, Elysia was on the verge of a meltdown.

"Just a moment ago, he said I couldn't see Elijah, and now, out of the blue, he wants to see my kids. What's he playing at? Does he know about Elliot and Evan? Is he coming to take them away? Does he want to snatch Elliot and Evan from me?"

Blossom, worried about her current state, tried to offer some comfort, "Elysia, just take a breath, alright? Don't jump to conclusions. Maybe you should just call him and ask what's going on."

"Yeah, yeah, you're right. I should give him a call."

Elysia's eyes reddened with frustration. The more he ignored her, the more desperate she felt. It was like her brain had hit a snag, buzzing with no clear direction. Finally, Blossom suggested, "Why don't you call Lowell? He called earlier; maybe you can get some info from him."

As soon as Lowell picked up, Elysia rushed in with her questions, "Lowell, why does he want to see my kids?"
