Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 345

Elysia was always tiptoeing around the topic of Elijah's mother, fearing that bringing her up might reopen old wounds for both of them.

But one day, Elijah looked at her with those deep, meaningful eyes and said, "He's probably missing my mom."

"Um..." was all Elysia could muster.

Elijah pressed on, "If you were in my mom's shoes, would you forgive him?"

Elysia had never really pondered this question; forgiving him was not something she had ever considered. But she couldn't just say that to Elijah, who had always dreamed of his parents getting back together. Admitting she wouldn't forgive would just hurt him.

She explained, "Everyone sees things from their own perspective, thinks their own thoughts. So, I can't really speak for your mom."

Elijah was persistent, "I want to know what you think, not as my mom, just as you."

Elysia hesitated before responding, "Elijah, do you know what your dad did to your mom?"
