Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 1255

Evan had already spotted the venomous snake in the tree, but before he could do

anything, someone else was quicker.

The scar-faced tough guy-they called him "the Boss"-hadn't come to Darkfort

City with them, but somehow he'd tracked them all the way out here.

That snake? The Boss had taken it out with one swift shot.

Evan glanced to his left, feeling a little grateful.

Anyone who looked out for his family was a friend of Evan Thorne's.

almost like a camping trip at Yellowstone.

The next morning, they headed deeper into the woods.

The further they went, the more critters they saw-everything from creepy

crawlies to poisonous bugs.

Baby, who was always a bit skittish, spent most of the day clinging to Tarquin, who

carried her without complaint.

With no cell signal, and the compass spinning uselessly, they had to rely on Evan

and White to find their way.
