Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 1372

Lowell stood off to the side, his eyes already rimmed red.

He knew exactly what Axel was walking into with this trip to Mariana Land-it was a one-way ticket, a near-suicide mission.

But there was nothing he could do to stop him. Even if he tried, Axel wouldn't let anyone hold him back. Until he pulled out that thorn in his side, he'd never find peace.

Lowell's voice was rough with emotion.

"We'll throw you a big party when you get back, all right? Just promise me, whatever happens-don't be a hero. Your life comes first!"

Axel looked at him, nodded once. “Yeah.”

Elysia came over, helping Blossom limp along. Lowell quickly wiped his eyes, and Tarquin stubbed out his cigarette.

Blossom looked at Axel with big, pleading eyes. She clearly hoped Axel would be the one to take her.
