Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 1318

Inside the tent, the four little ones were still wide awake. As soon as Tarquin came in, Evan piped up,

"Did Mom and the baby fall asleep?"

“Yeah, they just nodded off,” Tarquin replied.

Before Tarquin could ask anything else, Evan said,

"Dad, you're here to ask about what we saw today, right? Don't ask me, I have no clue."

"Huh?" Tarquin looked surprised.

Evan explained, "Uncle Lucas and I followed White to the lake, but as soon as we got there, White stopped us."

"White said there was something in the lake—something dangerous. He wouldn't let us come any closer. He just dove in and swam across himself."

"I wanted to follow, but Uncle Lucas wouldn't let me."

"It took ages for White to come back. I asked him what happened, but he wouldn't say. He just mumbled something about 'family business.""

Tarquin frowned. "Family business? White has family?"

"No idea. He wouldn't say."

"...So where's White now?"

"Outside. Probably sleeping up in a tree.”

"Did he seem upset or anything?"
