Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Evan and Pamela were waiting right at the main entrance of the mansion.

The moment Pamela caught sight of Elysia, she was all eyes on her!

She tilted her head, scrutinizing Elysia from head to toe-one moment in shock, the next furrowing her brows.

"Pamela, this is Evan's mother, Ms. Thorne. Ms. Thorne, meet my wife, Pamela," Clayton introduced.

It was Elysia's first time meeting her mother. Her eyes brimming with tears, her voice choked with emotion, she managed a soft, "Hello."

Pamela didn't respond immediately, still intently studying her, suddenly, her eyes widened,

"Irene! Irene! My Irene!"

Elysia and her brothers, Elliot, Evan, Emmett, were stunned.

Clayton, taken aback for a moment, quickly said, "Pamela, calm down, you're going to scare her."

"Clayton, Irene's back, it's Irene! Our Irene is back!"

Pamela was beside herself with excitement,

Irene! My baby Irene! Clayton...
