Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 906

Evan pondered deeply, savoring Tarquin's words for a moment before asking,

"So, if the base still belongs to the country, how did you manage to get this pass? What kind of backdoor did you open?"

Tarquin looked at the youngster, saying earnestly,

"I just filed an application for you, getting this pass was all your own doing."

"What? My own doing?!"

"Yeah, I sent some sketches you did in your free time to the founder of AZ, the old man was so thrilled he called me the same day, saying he wanted to meet you.

I told him those were drawn by my 5-year-old son, he couldn't believe it!

He wanted to recruit you into AZ for personal mentorship, but I flat-out refused. I was afraid your mom would have my head."

Getting into AZ meant not being able to leave, and Evan was only five. Elysia, despite her patriotic heart, wouldn't agree!

Even if she did, for the greater good, she'd be crying every day missing Evan.
