Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 468

"...So, I lent them a hand, and now they're touched enough to join me for dinner as a thank you?"

"Yep! Exactly! It's a rare opportunity, Dad, you've got to cherish it. To show you're serious, why don't you cook dinner tonight? Whip up some of your best dishes!"

Tarquin: "..."

Why did he suddenly feel so undervalued? He was the one who helped, yet now he's playing host!

Seeing his dear old dad silent, Elijah continued, "Dad, if you're aiming to win over Mom, you've got to charm her son first! You weren't exactly Mr. Nice Guy to Mom before, and Elliot and his brothers weren't your biggest fans. If it wasn't for your help today, they wouldn't have agreed to have dinner with you! So, don't feel hard done by. Just count your blessings and don't look a gift horse in the mouth."

"..." A roast from his own son was a critical hit!

Tarquin bit his lip then asked, "Is Elysia joining too?"

"Of course, she is! It wouldn't do without Mom!"
