Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 455

Evan scoffed, "Sure, I can be nice, but why should I pamper you? My mom could give me a beating, and I wouldn't get mad. I'd just worry about her hand hurting. But who do you think you are?"

Nola was furious, "You come into my house and act like you own the place? You really think you're bold, don't you? Believe me, I could make you regret it so fast, you'd wish you were mute!"

Evan narrowed his eyes at her, "I've always thought violence can't solve anything. But it sure can handle those who start it. If you want to go down that road, I won't hold back. Let's see if it's my tongue or your hands that get taken out of the game first!"

Nola called for security, aiming to deal with Evan, but Aileen intercepted.

Aileen shot her a look that ushered her away.

Turning to the kids, she smiled, "Nola's actually a sweetheart and loves kids. She's just upset about something she saw online, so don't take it personally. All the snacks and toys on the table are for you. Feel free to treat this place like home. Relax."
