Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 495

That kick had some serious power behind it. The man grunted, trying to sit up and make a run for it, but he just couldn't manage it. It felt like his bones were shattered!

Tarquin was momentarily stunned, then quickly looked toward the door.

And there, standing in the doorway, was the little guy!

Wrapped in a thick winter coat, with a baseball cap on backward and arms crossed, he stood there with a frown, looking every bit the picture of defiance.

The moment their eyes met, the little guy turned his gaze away with a haughty sniff, as if he was too cool for school.

Just as Tarquin was about to ask what brought him here, Evan pulled a lollipop out of his mouth, sporting a face that could easily be Emmett's twin, and strutted in.

"Don't get it twisted. I didn't come because I'm worried about you or anything! I couldn't care less. I'm only here because of Elijah, so don't flatter yourself."

Tarquin was speechless.

Not long after Tarquin had left, Elliot emerged from the bathroom.

Despite his anger, he was worried about Tarquin going to Future Community alone. That mysterious figure they were dealing with was no easy mark, with a penchant for unpredictability and danger.
