Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 955

Evan was mid-sentence when the shadow lunged at him again, attacking and demanding in the same breath,

"Where is he? Where is he? Where the hell is he?!"

Evan struggled against his opponent, constantly being forced to retreat.

White, his loyal snake, hissed anxiously, its forked tongue flickering in and out, eyes locked on Evan, waiting for a command to strike. But Evan remained silent, refusing to let White join the fray despite being at a disadvantage.

The shadow pressed on, and Evan shot back questions of his own,

"What's your deal with my master? What do you want with him? Why are your moves so similar to his? Did you train under the same mentor? Are you...?"

Suddenly, the shadow's grasp tightened around Evan's throat, lifting him off the ground as effortlessly as an eagle snatches a chick.

White tensed, ready to strike, but Evan gently pushed its head back into his pocket.

Perhaps it was the knowledge that he had White as his ace, or maybe it was the connection to his master that made him believe this assailant wouldn't truly harm him.

So, Evan wasn't scared.

Even with hands around his neck, he didn't panic; instead, he furrowed his brows and glared defiantly at the shadow towering over him.
