Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 1431

After the officers left, Tarquin asked Elysia to take the kids home first.

He still needed to head back to the old family house with the monks.

Elysia offered him a few words of comfort, then led the kids and her parents away.

Winona and Blossom left with them, while Keaton and Booker stayed behind.

It wasn't until they'd left the cemetery that Winona finally blurted out,

"Jeez, today was intense, Elysia. I had no idea your folks were national heroes! I've never even heard a whisper about it before."

Elysia replied,

"I only found out today, too. Tarquin told me they gave their lives for the safety of the people, but I don't know the details."

Winona looked shocked.

Blossom nodded quickly.

"Same here. That's what everyone's been saying all these years!"

"Seems like they must've been on some top-secret mission abroad or something," she added, "otherwise, why would there be so many military bigwigs at the funeral?"

Clayton, who was driving, let out a sigh.

"Not all heroes get the spotlight. They kept this under wraps for over twenty years. Must've been tough on them."
