Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 790

All past grievances were behind them, and for Tarquin, making his mom happy was all that mattered now!

His mom had gone through too much hardship, deserving nothing but the best the world had to offer. It was time for her to finally bask in happiness. Emmett, always the most emotional of the bunch, sobbed softly, his tears streaming down his face.

Evan quickly wiped away his tears, asking, "Emmett, why the waterworks, buddy?"

Choking back sobs, Emmett said in his babyish voice, "I don't know... I just... when I see daddy smiling, it makes me wanna cry."

Evan sniffed, then joked, "Should I go make him cry so you can laugh, how about that?"

"No, no, don't hurt daddy."

Evan pouted, looking down at Tarquin on the big screen. Despite being visibly moved himself, he still played the tough guy, complaining,

"Embarrassing, looks like a total dork. Don't say I know him."

Keaton and the guys huddled in a corner, taking a smoke break.
