Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 326

The kid had a point; he shouldn't have butted heads with Elijah. He should've done exactly as Elliot suggested: support whatever Elijah did, even if it meant pushing Elysia to reject Elijah!

Imagine if Elijah had declared, "I'm aiming to be Elysia's son, and you, her husband."

And he'd replied, "No problem!"

Would Elijah still be mad at him? Would he still have spewed those angry words?

Of course not!

Then, he'd go to Elysia, mention the plan, and surely, as Elliot predicted, she'd seek out Elijah for a chat.

That way, he wouldn't have to marry Elysia, Elijah wouldn't blame him, and who knows? Maybe after Elijah hit a wall with Elysia, he'd come looking for a shoulder to cry on. It would've been the perfect chance for a heart-to-heart between father and son!

It would've been a win-win!
