Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 442

Since Elijah couldn't be there in person, he joined the conversation online.

Elliot started, "Even though it's a bummer we couldn't unmask the mystery guy today, it's not like we came out empty-handed! At least we've confirmed that the dude who took mom to the hospital that day, kidnapped Elijah, and dumped us and mom in the middle of nowhere is our mystery man! And clearly, we're just pawns to him. He won't hurt us for now; his sights are set on Tarquin and the rest."

Elijah, frowning deeply, chimed in, "He must have a beef with dad! Should I... should I give dad a heads-up to watch his back?"

Elliot, knowing Elijah's concern for Tarquin, advised, "That's up to you. If you want to warn him, go ahead, but make sure you're careful with your words. Don't let mom's situation slip."

"Got it."

Elliot then added, "He also dropped a major hint tonight. He wants to pursue mom, said he wants to whisk her away to be his bride..."

Before Elliot could finish, Evan, Emmett, and Elijah cut him off.

The trio was vehement, "In his dreams! If he thinks he can take mom away, he's got another thing coming!"
