Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

In a moment of silence, all eyes turned to Carl Hawkins.

"Mr. Carl, is there any way you could arrange a paternity test?" someone asked.

Carl pursed his lips, "My wife's plotting to take down Mr. Bradford's son. Do you really think Mr. Bradford would let me anywhere near Elysia? That man's a ticking time bomb; I'd rather not mess with him."

Everyone frowned in concern.

Carl continued, "The guy I've got keeping tabs on my brother told me that Mr. Bradford going after the Murphy family wasn't to back my brother up but to avenge his own wife and son!

And then there's Elysia, always calling my brother Mr. Hawkins. If she were truly his daughter, wouldn't she have acknowledged him by now? What's with the delay?

Plus, I know my brother. Given how much he misses his niece, he'd be over the moon if he found her. He's all about loyalty and honesty, not acting. If he'd found his daughter, he wouldn't be able to hide his excitement. He'd have definitely informed the old man up in the mountains by now!"

The crowd nodded in agreement, "Makes sense. After years apart, any daughter would recognize her father immediately, and no father could hide such emotion."
