Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

"This guy's definitely not your average Joe. Do you think he'll get involved in Emmett's situation?"

Elysia asked, her brow furrowed with concern.

If it were just them, she felt somewhat confident she could keep Emmett close.

After all, Cecil and Claire's home life was hardly ideal for raising Emmett.

She was just worried someone might use Emmett to get at Tarquin, especially since custody technically remained with Cecil, putting them at a disadvantage. Tarquin let out a deep sigh, banishing a familiar face from his thoughts.

He reached out, affectionately ruffling Elysia's hair, his voice soft and comforting as if soothing a child,

"With me here, there's nothing to worry about. Even if someone backs Cecil, you shouldn't stress, Elysia."

Seeing his confident and handsome face, Elysia felt much more at ease.

"By the way, Emmett visited Claire today, gave her all his allowance as a thank you for bringing him into this world."

Tarquin nodded in approval, "Good for Emmett!"
