Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 774

The three little ones all turned their heads in unison, eyes wide with curiosity.

Elliot said calmly, "The Bradford family only cares about their own interests. In their eyes, Dad wanting to add us to the family tree is just a move to divide the inheritance. Thus, our existence is a threat to their piece of the pie, naturally, they're against it.

But mere objections won't do. So, they play the card of our legitimacy. If we're considered illegitimate, then Dad trying to make us official would hit a roadblock.

To the Bradfords right now, our mom is the homewrecker, and Daphne is considered Dad's legitimate wife."

The trio pursed their lips, Evan, always the sharp-tongued, said, "Are the Bradfords idiots?"

Elliot explained, "Back in the day, Gideon insisted Dad marry Daphne, but the Thorne family pushed our mom to take her place secretly. Of course, this had to be kept under wraps. Probably, aside from the Thornes, our mom, and us, no one else knows the truth."

Emmett, with his baby voice, asked, "Dad doesn't know?"

Elliot curled his lip in disdain, "If he knew, he wouldn't still be in the dark about his marriage status, would he?"

Evan was shocked, "He doesn't know? But he and mom recognized each other ages ago, didn't they?"
