Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 396

Today was a landmark day for them; she had just reconnected with her son, Elijah, and was eager to bring him home for a reunion dinner with Elliot, Evan, and Emmett. Maximizing happiness was her mission.

Tarquin proposed, "Why not have your kids come to my place? I'll host dinner."

"No way!"

"Why not?"
