Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem ( Elysia and Tarquin) novel Chapter 867

Little Missy blinked her big eyes, first at him and then towards her bodyguard, as if asking for approval.

Daddy had said, when he wasn't around, she had to listen to her bodyguard.

The bodyguard held Little Missy tight, eyeing Evan warily, "And who might you be?"

"I'm her big brother! Her real big brother!"

The moment Evan finished speaking, a commotion erupted from outside the door.

The bodyguard's grip on Little Missy tightened, and Evan furrowed his brows, "You stay with Little Missy. I'll check it out."

As Evan pushed the bedroom door open, he was met by Elliot, Emmett, and Elijah.

And Tarquin’s bodyguard was with them too!

Evan hurriedly greeted them, "Bro!"

Elliot glanced at the injured thugs on the floor, frowning, "What happened here?"

Evan explained, "These guys work for Keith. As for those in suits, I have no idea whose side they're on. They were brawling when I got here, trying to snatch Little Missy!"

Elliot's brow furrowed deeper, "Is Little Missy alright?"

"Yeah, she's safe in the bedroom! But she seems reluctant to come home with me. I told her I'm her big brother, but she didn’t react. Right now, she only trusts her bodyguard."

Elliot wasn't surprised.

"Little Missy was raised by Keith. It’s him she loves and trusts the most. Her bodyguards are all appointed by Keith, so naturally, she trusts them."

"So, what do we do? How do we get Little Missy to come home with us without scaring her?"

"I'll talk to her."

Elliot swiftly made his way to the bedroom, with Evan, Emmett, and Elijah closely behind.

Inside, when Elliot, Emmett, and Elijah laid eyes on Little Missy cradled by the bodyguard, they were speechless!

Elliot, slightly annoyed at the lack of understanding, said, "If we could walk in and talk to Little Missy without any trouble, don't you think the situation outside is under control? But we're not here to harm Little Missy; we're here to save her. That you're still safe is because we don’t see you as an enemy, got it?"

The bodyguard remained silent.

Elliot didn't bother with him anymore and walked straight up to them. This time, the bodyguard didn't move away.

Elliot showed Little Missy the photo, "Look, Little Missy, do you recognize her?"

Little Missy, surprised, exclaimed, "Mommy?!"

"That's right, that's Mommy!"

Elliot then pulled up another photo,

"Look, this is a picture of us with Mommy. We're just like you, born to Mommy. We're your brothers, and you're our little sister. We're a family."

Little Missy's eyes sparkled, though her expression was still one of confusion, "A family?"
