Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Watching Grandma with those puppy dog eyes, Evan's heart was breaking.

He desperately wanted to tell her the truth, to reveal that mom was alive, and she was right in Oceanopolis! But the bigger picture demanded his silence. He had to bear it for now!

All he could do was silently whisper to Pamela in his heart:

Hang in there, Grandma. Mom's back, she might even be on her way right now. You'll see her real soon.

Evan sniffled, about to go upstairs to comfort Pamela, when a maid came in with a bowl of soup,

"Sir, your wife's soup is ready."

Evan's brows furrowed. This must be the infamous poisoned soup, huh?

Larry came over too, noticing Pamela's tears and feigned concern,

"What's the matter with Ms. Patel? Did she fall?"

He was about to head upstairs when Evan, with a dark look, subtly stuck out his foot, and 'thump'! Larry went tumbling down, face-first into the dirt!

He fell, dragging the maid down with him, the soup from her hands splashing right onto his head!
