Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 372

"Mom, come here."

Elliot, with a mask on, took Elysia's hand and led her back inside.

Tarquin tried to follow them, but Elliot stopped him, "Wait out here!"

Tarquin was left standing at the door as Elliot brought Elysia into the house.

He guided Elysia to the study, first making her sip some warm tea to calm down, then handed her a pill.

Elysia was confused, "I'm not sick, Elliot. What's this for?"

"Just take it, Mom. We need to talk."

Elliot knew his mom's mental fortitude well; he wouldn't dare to tell her the truth without preparing her first!

Even though puzzled, Elysia trusted her son and swallowed the pill.

"What did you want to talk about?"

It was then Elliot felt brave enough to say,

"Mom, I've found out about the past. I know why you suddenly wanted to leave today, and I also know that the man outside is my dad."
