Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 833

Keith flashed a wry smile, "Surprised I could be so cruel, eh?"

He glanced down, flipping the burgers on the grill with a self-mocking tone, "Who wants to be the villain? It's all about being pushed to the edge." Elysia frowned, "No matter what beef you have with Tarquin and the Bradford family, involving kids is out of line. They're innocent!"

Keith let out a long sigh, his response candid, "Hatred blinded me once. Just when you were unexpectedly pregnant with Tarquin's child, I took advantage, using Elijah as a pawn. If it were now, I wouldn't use a child in my schemes."

After saying this, he looked at Elysia with a smile, "You might not believe me, but I've actually grown fond of kids now."

Elysia's eyebrows knitted together tightly, "Keeping my daughter from us isn't using her in your schemes?"

Keith shook his head openly, "Not at all. If I wanted to use the little one for leverage, I would've done so long ago! I'm taking you to her now, simply because I want you two to be together. It has nothing to do with Tarquin. And as for Elliot, Evan, Emmett, and Elijah, don't worry. Once I've settled you and the little one down, I'll bring them back for a reunion. I'll try my best to treat them right."
