Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 1247

Jindale City was Tarquin's turf-if he wanted to make someone's life difficult, it was never a problem.

But this time, things were tricky. The person he wanted to deal with had a complicated relationship with Evan. There was no good way to go after them directly.

Tarquin and Evan's mentor had a history. Sure, that made them enemies in theory. But at the same time, Tarquin had always looked out for Evan...

The little guy was frowning, clearly troubled. After a moment, he blurted out, "I'm gonna talk to him myself!"

No sooner had he finished the sentence than he was climbing out the window again.

Sneaking out the back made it a straight shot up the hill behind the house-much easier.

Tarquin didn't stop him. This was between his son and the oddball. As a father, he wouldn't make Evan's choices for him.

He'd just be there in the background, waiting. When his son needed him, he'd step in-no sooner, no later.

On the Hill.

The man waiting there was a mountain of muscle, face crisscrossed with scars. He squinted as Evan appeared again, giving him a slow once-over. "Yeah?"

Evan marched right up, frowning. "What's the deal between you and my mentor?"

The big man's brow furrowed. "None of your business, kid."
