Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 1287

Evan wasn't the least bit worried about Tracey's safety.

"All the wild animals around here know my great-grandma. Some of them she's actually helped out before-rescued them from traps or patched up a broken leg. They're grateful, so they'd never hurt her. Honestly, they'd probably protect her if anyone tried anything."

"And the ones that do want to hurt her? Well, good luck with that. They can dream all they want, but it's just not happening."

“See, Great-Gran might not know karate, but she's got a real talent for poisons."

"Her concoctions are more dangerous than a shotgun, I swear. She could have a bear begging for mercy! That's why all the animals steer clear-nobody messes with her."
